AVENGERS/MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
#TeamJanet -- Darcy/Jan -- 2545 words -- December 2012
Darcy feels herself starting to get disappointed, but thirty seconds later she's tempted to find a sharpie and write #TeamJanet on her forehead as a reminder to herself to never ever make snap judgments, because apparently Janet can shoot electricity from her hands, and is therefore the coolest human Darcy has ever seen.
Conviction -- Thor/Loki -- 3949 words -- July 2012
Between one breath and the next, the spear is in Loki's hands, and before Thor can even finish speaking, Loki has pressed the spear's glowing point to Thor's chest, just above his heart.

filiabelialis) -- Thor/Loki -- 110,921 words -- November 2013
Loki lets his head fall back, a despairing smile baring his teeth. "What do you mean by home?"
Flying Monkeys, or Five Times Thor Engaged in Cultural Exchange -- Thor/everyone -- 5041 words -- June 2012
Thor wonders whether any of them know. He wonders if like tears without shame it is something Midgardians do not do, or if it is rare, like the tale of the Rings of Power, or if it is something that needs only be asked for as Thor asked Natasha to spar with him.
I know these bones as being mine -- Frigga -- 8492 words -- June 2013
"He is not our ward, Frigga, he is our son."
Midwinter -- Thor/Loki -- 6323 words -- November 2016
All Loki has to do is say yes, go, and Thor will leave, and perhaps for some time things will be painfully awkward but they will be safe. Loki does not even have to tell Thor he doesn't want it, does not have to make himself convincing. If he can just bring himself to say it --
Rebuild All Your Ruins -- Thor/Loki -- 14447 words -- December 2017
"Loki," Thor says, "why did you come back?"
Shatter [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Thor/Loki -- 32209 words -- June 2011
"Loki," Odin says, heavy with disappointment and regret for all he has to raise his voice, "Odinson. I cast you out."
Sigyn (binding is not punishment) & Ragnarok (release tips the balance) -- [podfic version] -- Darcy/Loki -- 9966 words -- June & August 2011
A long time ago, when they were locked away, Loki promised they would escape at the end of the world.
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
All That We Are [DW mirror] -- Leoben & Kara -- 2024 words -- August 2009
He wakes and stares into the dark and thinks that even if he understands the patterns he doesn't have to like them.
Patterns in the Blood [DW mirror] -- Kara/Leoben -- 2646 words -- March 2009
Kara had thought, in her infinite frakking stupidity, that maybe Leoben knew her, saw her, lavished such patient attention because there was something in her sorry life worth the cherishing.
This Is Not Our Fate [DW mirror] -- Kara & ensemble -- 4423 words -- July 2009
"Maybe you want to fix too much at once," she said. "Maybe you have to ... just like yourself before you start screwing around with other people."
COMMUNITY
Advanced Covert Dating -- Troy/Abed(/Annie) -- 1243 words -- December 2011
"Hey, Abed?" Annie said. "Are you and Troy having secret sex?"
DALEMARK QUARTET
Allow For Inflation [Yuletide archive mirror] -- Mitt/Maewen -- 1234 words -- December 2007
Maewen almost said something very stupid like 'oh but I shouldn't, you see, I'm waiting for someone' before it came to her that this might be part of her own little war, or part of that inflation Mitt was talking about.
DARK IS RISING SEQUENCE
No Second Coming -- [podfic version] -- Will/Bran, Drew family -- 16724 words -- December 2010
"But there's only me," Will said in sudden panic. "I have no one --" He stopped abruptly. "I must correct mistakes."
Three From the Track -- [podfic version] -- Merriman, Drew family -- 2272 words -- December 2009
Merriman could be wrong. He'd been wrong before. He'd been wrong at Camlann.
DEMON'S LEXICON
The Demon's Fun Day Out at the Park with a Picnic -- Nick & Alan -- 947 words -- December 2010
"If you could be anywhere," Alan said quietly over the radio, in that hopeful voice he got on those rare occasions that he tried to engage Nick in games to pass the time in the car, "where would you be?"
Fix [DW mirror] -- Nick/Alan -- 2906 words -- April 2011
"What's stronger," Nick said, "a demon's mark or a magician's mark?"
shape of the boundaries you leave behind -- Alan/Sin -- 3299 words -- December 2012
"Come on," Cynthia said, and pulled him upstairs. Alan went without protest, because Cynthia's warm hand in his was the only thing tethering him to the world. Everything else was dark and cold, killing cold.
DOCTOR WHO
after me comes the flood [DW mirror] -- Doctor/Master -- 11641 words -- March 2010
He's had to choose between the universe and the Master before.
Dimensions in Space (The Perfect Fit Remix) -- Mickey/Rose -- 1827 words -- May 2010
Maybe every alternate reality fits together like a vastly complicated jigsaw puzzle, with Ricky and Jake and no Rose in one, with Mickey and Rose and no Jake in another.
Doctor Who Season Four [LJ mirror] -- Doctor/Master, Martha, Jack -- 50527 words -- July 2007
He makes the Doctor's life hell and in return the Doctor endlessly forgives him, and it creates a sort of hungry feedback loop; each of them trying to break the other in the way they know best.
Doctor Who Season Five [LJ mirror] -- Doctor/Master, Donna, Martha, Jack -- 50416 words -- July 2008
Five minutes and no luck later, with the treacherous false dusk of an oncoming storm gathering in around her and ashes starting to cling to the red varnish on her nails, Donna's annoyed enough to straighten and dust herself off, turning for home.
East of the Sun & West of the Moon [DW mirror] -- Rose/human!Doctor -- 3775 words -- July 2008
It's the wind, she tells herself, just the wind and the Doctor's hand is too warm and they're not running.
fear of the dark [DW mirror] -- Doctor/Master -- 2238 words -- June 2008
Fairytale in Gallifreyan is one small inflection from warning.
Manifesto [DW mirror] -- [DVD commentary] -- Doctor/Martha -- 1959 words -- June 2007
Lie because you like it.
Mastery [DW mirror] -- Doctor/Master -- 3146 words -- June 2007

DRAGON AGE
House of Three -- Cullen/Inquisitor/Josephine -- 15190 words -- November 2016
"Here's the Orlaisian part," the Inquisitor says. "Assuming you're both amenable, I'd like to try relationships with both of you, with your full knowledge and consent."
"Oh," says Cullen. "That is ... terribly Orlaisian, yes."
DUE SOUTH
Carry On [LJ mirror] -- Kowalski/Vecchio, Fraser -- 8287 words -- October 2009
What's worse than a dead best friend? A dead best friend who sits in your armchair going on about unfinished business and giving you worried looks.
Dawn [DSSS archive mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 8285 words -- December 2009
"I never thought I'd be doing the good cop side of the good cop-bad cop routine, is all," Ray said, and glanced sidelong at Fraser. "You're probably right. It's good. You're kinda smart about this whole parenting deal."
Follow Without Pride [LJ mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4885 words -- October 2009
"But you're pissed off when he does stuff like that?" Ray wanted to know. "When he doesn't listen and almost gets killed?"
Forty-Five Years [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 889 words -- June 2009
Ray's never going to get used to it, but it's the good kind of not-getting-used-to, like how he's never going to get used to waking up spooning Fraser.
Katabasis [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 17027 words -- April 2009
"I talked to your dad, I went through this place called the Borderland, I had a boat ride, I fed a wolf a doughnut, and I told stories for your soul," Ray interrupted. "This does not mean you are not insane."
The Love Song of S. Raymond Kowalski [LJ mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4953 words -- May 2009
Ray dared to smush his experimental hair down in hats in Canada, dared to eat everything Fraser gave him including the freaky bark tea, dared ... dared to let Fraser turn his world inside out and meet his eyes afterward.
Magnetic [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 20867 words -- March 2009
Ray remembered something about that from high school science class, something about how magnets with the same charge couldn't get near each other, but high school science had been wrong, because Ray was the one pinging off the walls over here, while Fraser and Vecchio were just standing there, easy as anything.
Magnificent Mile [DSSS archive mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4553 words -- December 2009
"When it's dark," Ray said, "and cold, and the sun is never, ever coming back, we light candles. We light candles and we, we huddle up, we create warmth, and I do this every day, Fraser."
Missing the Train -- Fraser/Thatcher -- 689 words -- February 2011
Sometimes, Meg Thatcher reasoned, a kiss could only happen in a certain place under a particular set of circumstances.
Name It [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 3694 words -- June 2009
"Needed that, huh," Ray said, simple words not even masquerading as a question.
No Cocoon [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 2662 words -- March 2009
He found himself echoing the familiarity, leaning towards this new Ray, figuring out the mysteries and the differences not with intellect alone but with determined physicality.
Saturday [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 1169 words -- July 2009
The weekend starts at about 7 AM, because it's just Ray's luck that he has to be living with a chronic early riser and another guy who is understandably kind of an insomniac after spending a year as a mob boss.
Signs of Affection [LJ mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 5775 words -- August 2009
Even Fraser had agreed, if a little resignedly, and Ray had felt like total crap for asking Fraser to bluff and mislead and prevaricate and anything else short of outright lying, even though he knew Fraser did it all the time. It was different if Ray and Vecchio were asking him to.
A State of Being (In Five Steps, With Flowchart) [LJ mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 2824 words -- November 2009
Ray always did things backwards with Fraser. Out of order, upside-down, hanging off rooftops, putting the sled before the Dief, all that good stuff.
Undercover [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 12504 words -- October 2009
If Ray got stuck on a case, he'd start to call the Yellowknife line, and his hands would shake badly enough he'd have to punch the couch a few times to calm down. He always ended up calling Vecchio instead.
You Are My True North -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 180 words -- February 2010
I saw this card that wasn't pink and it said what I was thinking so I got it and I did stupid stick figures on the front because sometimes words don't work so good, and this is all I got.
THE EXORCIST
Batter My Heart -- Marcus/Tomas -- 8899 words -- December 2018
He missed Tomas the way he missed God, Marcus realizes, and it evaporates the air in his lungs, the desperate necessity of it.
FIREFLY
Testing [DW mirror] -- River -- 2554 words -- July 2005
There is no getting better. There is only getting different.
GOOD OMENS
Anywhere You Want to Go -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 9990 words -- July 2019
Aziraphale knew Crowley liked him. He'd known it with a horrible clarity since around 1100, which was at least a thousand years after the first time he'd thought of kissing Crowley, and some eight hundred and odd before it occurred to him that the specific quality of Crowley's regard could be very dangerous for both of them, if they actually admitted their feelings aloud.
It was also two weeks since any of that had mattered at all anymore.
Better Than A Win -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 1200 words -- December 2011
Aziraphale would have missed (or perhaps deliberately ignored) the nuance of together, but Crowley was a man-shaped being of the world, and knew what was being asked. "We've been around since -- for a while," he said. "But it's not like that."
Everything Else Is A Substitute For Your Love -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 7537 words -- June 2019
"You can't have been a demon," Aziraphale said. "No one used to be a demon. Why would you say that?"
Falling Rain -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 7642 words -- November 2003
"This whole flood business," Aziraphale said thoughtfully. "You know, drowning all the wicked. You know our jobs. You're supposed to encourage wickedness. So, er, I suppose you've done a spectacularly good job."
knowing this will I reach for you -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 24626 words -- December 2019
It wasn't as though his interest in Aziraphale was entirely appropriate. Of course it wasn't bloody appropriate. He was consorting with the Enemy, nothing about it was appropriate.
Saunter [DW mirror] -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 1461 words -- June 2005
There is nothing to do but feel out of sorts, disjointed and slightly askew from the world, and watch as Aziraphale absently eats the apple, the world's hundred millionth apple, symbolic of nothing at all.
Theatrical Sins: A Play in Three Acts [DW mirror] -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 2283 words -- November 2004
"What did you do?" Crowley asked in horror, the first time he saw Aziraphale after sleeping away most of the nineteenth century.
When in Rome [DW mirror] -- Aziraphale & Crowley -- 1446 words -- September 2003
"I've met this wonderful fellow by the name of Dennis the Short, and he's decided to bring things a bit more up-to-date, give important things the importance they deserve, you know."
HARRY POTTER
as disastrous as to lose [DW mirror] -- Remus/Tonks, Remus/Sirius -- 4398 words -- August 2009
She wants connection before she dies. That can't be too much to ask.
Geometry of the Impossible -- Remus/Sirius/James/Lily -- 21053 words -- July 2017
"I don't think Lily nor James would be very happy if I did his courting for him," Remus said. He saw that Sirius' face was fixed into blank patience, and had a flash of desire to snarl and go for Sirius' throat, because he might at least understand that. "Look. There are comical farces written around your idea, and I'm not terribly keen on having Lily fall for me instead --"
Several Ways to Apologize [DW mirror] -- Remus/Sirius -- 3333 words -- July 2009
"The thing is, though," Sirius said, addressing the scarlet draperies, "Moony's not going to give me legumes and yell. He's too nice."
Summer Colours -- MWPP -- 1358 words -- December 2004
Rilke instructs him to be independent, and Remus is starting to think this is a very good idea.
Tom Riddle Will Take Your Soul (The Waking Dreams Remix) [DW mirror] -- Tom/Ginny, Harry/Ginny -- 3559 words -- August 2011
Pour your heart out to a Horcrux, and it will pour itself out to you.
HIGHLANDER
All That Remains [DW mirror] -- Methos -- 2048 words -- July 2010
They always ask eventually.
calamity of so long life [DW mirror] -- Duncan/Methos -- 3067 words -- June 2010
I love a good apocalypse.
Fall -- Methos/Alexa -- 608 words -- February 2011
This journey was for her, in all its particulars, and he would be whatever she needed him to be.
Fiction [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Duncan/Methos -- 5562 words -- September 2010
"Oh God, you found Carolyn's book," Duncan said, sounding at least five hundred times less mortified than Methos had hoped.
HOT FUZZ
And This Time I'll Remember [Yuletide archive mirror] -- Nicholas/Danny -- 2859 words -- December 2008
Nicholas Angel knew it was going to be a bad day when he woke up on Christmas Eve face-to-face with a dead body.
LIFE ON MARS
Deduction [DW mirror] -- Gene -- 1230 words -- June 2007
DI Tyler is like a gift from God, although Gene allows that if this is true, God's one sick bastard.
Oh You Pretty Things [DW mirror] -- Sam/Gene -- 7744 words -- December 2008
"Today," Sam told the mirror, "I'm going to work through the gender issues I didn't even know I had."
Quicksand [DW mirror] -- Sam -- 1995 words -- August 2009
There has to be limits to what the mind can do. Grit on Annie's palms, all the air knocked out of him when Gene slams him into a wall, cigarette smoke and the sticky drink rings on the tables at the Arms. Limits.
THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES
where you go, I'm going (so jump and I'm jumping) -- Jon/Martin -- 6531 words -- March 2021
"I don't think so," Alex said. She looked at Martin. "Is this really how it went?"
"What?" Martin said. Alex and Georgie and Jon were all looking at him. The sky seemed so different today--
THE MECHANISMS
Blood Like Wine -- Jonny d'Ville/Gunpowder Tim -- 2463 words -- November 2021
When Jonny said it, he didn't even really mean anything by it. He was running his mouth, paying more attention to the way it made Tim thrash under him than the words he was saying. Jonny leant forward, digging his fingernails into Tim's shoulder blades, and said, low and vicious, "I want to eat your heart."
The Construction of Reality -- Lyfrassir Edda/Marius von Raum -- 19886 words -- May 2021
"I think," Marius said, "that you were slated to get all eaten up along with the rest of your world, but you're too much of a stubborn bastard, and it didn't take. I mean, look at you! It's obvious that half of you wants to fling yourself out the nearest airlock so you can do something weirdly intimate to the black hole out there, and instead you're in here with me."
Lyfrassir's skin was buzzing. Several rainbow-sheened tears fell onto their clasped hands. "When you put it like that," they rasped, "I'm obviously making a terrible choice."
Cosmically and Horribly -- Mechanisms ensemble -- 129040 words -- July 2022
"I thought you should know," Ivy said, "It's back."
What an absurd thing to say to someone. It's back, like that was supposed to mean something. Tim hadn't heard from Ivy since he'd left for college. He hadn't been back to Derry since, a source of constant tension with his parents, who wanted him to visit home and couldn't seem to understand why Tim still fucking hated the place twenty years later. He could feel Derry like a gravity well, tilting him back towards childhood, back towards the worst moment.
"Fuck," Tim said. "I'll be there in the morning."
lies we tell the universe -- Mechanisms ensemble -- 79382 words -- July 2021
If there was one thing Nastya's kid brother didn't need, it was to be told that he was a god. But here he was, wrapped in dark leather with makeup lines of black lightning spiderwebbing across his face, surrounded by a massive crowd of worshipful enablers.
louder than god's revolver and twice as shiny -- Jonny d'Ville & Mechanisms ensemble -- 4513 words -- October 2021
Jonny feels really fucking pleased for the first thirty seconds after he hangs up the phone, having successfully scheduled his top surgery, which is now officially happening in four months. Then the Toy Soldier ruins it by calling across the apartment, with its usual cheer, "Ah, that's too bad, old chum! You won't be able to attend Danger Days, then!"
moons in collision, like gravity or love -- Jonny d'Ville/Mechanisms ensemble -- 38757 words -- March 2021
His living heart had hurt, and the new one felt strange: he could feel the clockwork and the gears in his chest where there had once been nothing but messily squeezing muscle, and at that first tickticktick he felt the sick swooping rightness of it so strongly that every moment on either side of it went white with euphoria. Linear memory's overrated, anyway.
Spin the Knife -- Jonny d'Ville/Mechanisms ensemble -- 2029 words -- April 2021
As described.
Stave Off the Boredom (with Fire and Food) -- Jonny d'Ville/Ashes O'Reilly, Jonny d'Ville/Gunpowder Tim -- 4905 words -- January 2021
Jonny opened his mouth to point out, crankily, that everyone on this ship was a fucking pedant and only Ashes had the thimbleful of brain necessary to understand that obviously he was asking about kinks they'd enjoyed, when Tim said, "Maybe the question should be, what's the kinkiest thing you've never done that you want to try?"
stay with me, go places -- Jonny d'Ville/Gunpowder Tim -- 33554 words -- September 2021
Jonny's goal was to get the hell out of the country for a few months once he was legally allowed to leave, but he hadn't pitched this at Tim yet, because do you want to just travel wherever the hell we feel like on whatever train we can catch sounded -- it sounded like a lot, somehow.
We Longed to Hear the Matrimonial Hymn Sung -- Marius von Raum/Mechanisms ensemble -- 5892 words -- December 2021
Or: Dr. Baron Marius von Raum's quest to wed every single Mechanism.
MERLIN
Controllable Things [DW mirror] -- Arthur/Merlin -- 1514 words -- October 2008

Nor Love So Sweet [Yuletide archive mirror] -- Lucy/Rilian -- 6016 words -- December 2007

PLANESHIFT EXTENDED UNIVERSE
Better Than An Absent God -- Gwinna & Merineth -- 1202 words -- October 2016
For the first time she realizes how stupid her question has always been, was Dyr a paladin, as though that alone would give her any real insight. "What was she like?" Merineth whispers.
Collision -- Dusk/Gwinna/Aja/Zeth -- 2383 words -- October 2015
Gwinna is not very good at liking people.
Devotional Fragments from the Protector Goddess -- Dyr & Merineth -- 255 words -- September 2019

Everyone has a language that can be learned.
an interview with Mr Grim -- Everard Grim -- 2224 words -- February 2020
I've arranged to meet with Everard Grim in Mileth, at a thriving hole-in-the-wall bakery run by a branch of the beloved Tealeaf family.
Tradition -- Zanger ensemble -- 3891 words -- September 2021
Five things the party passed along to Noachi, and one thing Nemei chose not to.
The Violent Death of the Goddess Ajora -- Ash/Ajora -- 2506 words -- September 2019
This is a story about new things built upon the bones of the old.
PROTAGONISH
Call My Name and Save Me From the Dark -- Austin/Harper -- 5291 words -- December 2021
Harper is beautiful and unafraid, and the weight of longing hits Austin with such force that he can't breathe. He doesn't even really know what he wants, not yet, except for Harper to continue to look at him like he already understands a version of Austin that Austin has never been, and he wants to deserve the way Harper looks at him. He wants to be something besides his father's blunt instrument.
SANCTUARY
Dissect the Suppositions [DW mirror] -- John Druitt/James Watson -- 4233 words -- August 2010
Night after night, I poured my insights out to you, never knowing that the target of my manhunt was the man who dissected my suppositions.
SIX OF CROWS
Staunch -- Jesper/Wylan -- 3190 words -- December 2017
Saying it was more difficult than Jesper had anticipated. "I think I have to work out how ... how to be a Grisha."
SLINGS & ARROWS
high on a stage be placed to the view [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Geoffrey/Darren -- 1340 words -- September 2009
"A flying start," says Darren in a snap of contempt, and Geoffrey feels a jolting little thrill, because they have this down, they already have it perfectly in tune; of course the irony of playing Guildenstern is lost on Darren, but the irony of playing Rosencrantz off him had been lost to Geoffrey until these three words.
If We Shadows [DW mirror] -- Geoffrey -- 1773 words -- January 2009
Geoffrey is an instrument of words; he knows words can move a whole mass of bodies to laughter, to a collective gasp, to unashamed tears. But it's an aesthetic, words to create something beautiful, and suddenly, Ellen says, Ellen says ...
STARGATE ATLANTIS
Like This [DW mirror] -- Sheppard/McKay -- 4962 words -- January 2007
John Sheppard doesn't need anyone. He never really has, either. It's a thing.
SUPERNATURAL
Buffy On Reruns In All the Hotels -- girl!Dean -- 1071 words -- October 2011
The things that go bump in the night go bump in the daytime too. A perky cheerleader who saves the day isn't any kind of role model.
THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY
Silky Story -- Ade Larson -- 5046 words -- December 2020
In the summer of 1889, Ade Larson took passage on a laker from Chicago to Sault Ste Marie, and on the docks of southern Ontario she heard her first story of the sea women.
UMBRELLA ACADEMY
the only hope for me is you -- Allison & Vanya -- 2474 words -- March 2019
Allison wonders whether Vanya has a personality in there somewhere, or if it's just violin concertos all the way down.
WHITE COLLAR
Getting Somewhere -- Neal/Peter/Elizabeth -- 1199 words -- February 2011
"So," Neal said. "Has Peter caught on yet?"
YOUNG WIZARDS
Aschesis -- [podfic version] -- Ronan & Darryl -- 10213 words -- December 2010
"Ronan," the Lone Power said softly. "Didn't He leave you out? You gave your life, and He abandoned you. What good are you without Him?"
Not Enough [DW mirror] -- Tom/Carl -- 5502 words -- February 2006
Cold, he thought detachedly. The only really cold thing is interstellar space.

I am the water, and the waves.
Terminus [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Tom/Carl, Kit/Nita -- 8526 words -- December 2008

For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, Benton Fraser is in a caboose, playing table hockey and being soundly beaten by a twelve-year-old boy.
And Count Myself a King of Infinite Space [DW mirror] -- [DVD commentary] -- [podfic version] -- Hard Core Logo/Slings & Arrows -- Geoffrey & Billy -- 5710 words -- July 2009
Despite the music, despite the obvious patchwork lie that makes up the final cut, there is something raw and honest about this damn film, something -- something Geoffrey overused and abused, applied with indiscriminate disaster to his own life, something Shakespearean.
Life on Earth [DW mirror] -- [DVD commentary] -- Doctor Who/Life On Mars -- Sam & the Doctor -- 3374 words -- July 2007
He dreams that Maya is inside a metal sphere, a Death Star the size of a football.
One Continuous Singular Incident in the Life of Faith Lehane [DW mirror] -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Doctor Who -- Faith & the Doctor -- 4143 words -- November 2008
"Damn, Doc. And here I thought you had me around for no particular reason."
pretty maids all in a row [DW mirror] -- Buffy the Vampire Slayer/The Secret Garden -- Mary, Colin, Dickon -- 5584 words -- November 2008
"Teacakes, Mary? I do believe your Baital is what we here might call a vampire. Have you heard the word before?"

AVENGERS/MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
#TeamJanet -- Darcy/Jan -- 2545 words -- December 2012
Darcy feels herself starting to get disappointed, but thirty seconds later she's tempted to find a sharpie and write #TeamJanet on her forehead as a reminder to herself to never ever make snap judgments, because apparently Janet can shoot electricity from her hands, and is therefore the coolest human Darcy has ever seen.
Conviction -- Thor/Loki -- 3949 words -- July 2012
Between one breath and the next, the spear is in Loki's hands, and before Thor can even finish speaking, Loki has pressed the spear's glowing point to Thor's chest, just above his heart.

Loki lets his head fall back, a despairing smile baring his teeth. "What do you mean by home?"
Flying Monkeys, or Five Times Thor Engaged in Cultural Exchange -- Thor/everyone -- 5041 words -- June 2012
Thor wonders whether any of them know. He wonders if like tears without shame it is something Midgardians do not do, or if it is rare, like the tale of the Rings of Power, or if it is something that needs only be asked for as Thor asked Natasha to spar with him.
I know these bones as being mine -- Frigga -- 8492 words -- June 2013
"He is not our ward, Frigga, he is our son."
Midwinter -- Thor/Loki -- 6323 words -- November 2016
All Loki has to do is say yes, go, and Thor will leave, and perhaps for some time things will be painfully awkward but they will be safe. Loki does not even have to tell Thor he doesn't want it, does not have to make himself convincing. If he can just bring himself to say it --
Rebuild All Your Ruins -- Thor/Loki -- 14447 words -- December 2017
"Loki," Thor says, "why did you come back?"
Shatter [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Thor/Loki -- 32209 words -- June 2011

All That We Are [DW mirror] -- Leoben & Kara -- 2024 words -- August 2009
He wakes and stares into the dark and thinks that even if he understands the patterns he doesn't have to like them.
Patterns in the Blood [DW mirror] -- Kara/Leoben -- 2646 words -- March 2009
Kara had thought, in her infinite frakking stupidity, that maybe Leoben knew her, saw her, lavished such patient attention because there was something in her sorry life worth the cherishing.
This Is Not Our Fate [DW mirror] -- Kara & ensemble -- 4423 words -- July 2009

DALEMARK QUARTET
Allow For Inflation [Yuletide archive mirror] -- Mitt/Maewen -- 1234 words -- December 2007
Maewen almost said something very stupid like 'oh but I shouldn't, you see, I'm waiting for someone' before it came to her that this might be part of her own little war, or part of that inflation Mitt was talking about.
DARK IS RISING SEQUENCE
No Second Coming -- [podfic version] -- Will/Bran, Drew family -- 16724 words -- December 2010

Three From the Track -- [podfic version] -- Merriman, Drew family -- 2272 words -- December 2009
Merriman could be wrong. He'd been wrong before. He'd been wrong at Camlann.
DEMON'S LEXICON
The Demon's Fun Day Out at the Park with a Picnic -- Nick & Alan -- 947 words -- December 2010
"If you could be anywhere," Alan said quietly over the radio, in that hopeful voice he got on those rare occasions that he tried to engage Nick in games to pass the time in the car, "where would you be?"
Fix [DW mirror] -- Nick/Alan -- 2906 words -- April 2011
"What's stronger," Nick said, "a demon's mark or a magician's mark?"
shape of the boundaries you leave behind -- Alan/Sin -- 3299 words -- December 2012
"Come on," Cynthia said, and pulled him upstairs. Alan went without protest, because Cynthia's warm hand in his was the only thing tethering him to the world. Everything else was dark and cold, killing cold.

after me comes the flood [DW mirror] -- Doctor/Master -- 11641 words -- March 2010
He's had to choose between the universe and the Master before.
Dimensions in Space (The Perfect Fit Remix) -- Mickey/Rose -- 1827 words -- May 2010
Maybe every alternate reality fits together like a vastly complicated jigsaw puzzle, with Ricky and Jake and no Rose in one, with Mickey and Rose and no Jake in another.
Doctor Who Season Four [LJ mirror] -- Doctor/Master, Martha, Jack -- 50527 words -- July 2007
He makes the Doctor's life hell and in return the Doctor endlessly forgives him, and it creates a sort of hungry feedback loop; each of them trying to break the other in the way they know best.
Doctor Who Season Five [LJ mirror] -- Doctor/Master, Donna, Martha, Jack -- 50416 words -- July 2008
Five minutes and no luck later, with the treacherous false dusk of an oncoming storm gathering in around her and ashes starting to cling to the red varnish on her nails, Donna's annoyed enough to straighten and dust herself off, turning for home.
East of the Sun & West of the Moon [DW mirror] -- Rose/human!Doctor -- 3775 words -- July 2008
It's the wind, she tells herself, just the wind and the Doctor's hand is too warm and they're not running.

"Oh," says Cullen. "That is ... terribly Orlaisian, yes."
DUE SOUTH
Carry On [LJ mirror] -- Kowalski/Vecchio, Fraser -- 8287 words -- October 2009
What's worse than a dead best friend? A dead best friend who sits in your armchair going on about unfinished business and giving you worried looks.
Dawn [DSSS archive mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 8285 words -- December 2009
"I never thought I'd be doing the good cop side of the good cop-bad cop routine, is all," Ray said, and glanced sidelong at Fraser. "You're probably right. It's good. You're kinda smart about this whole parenting deal."
Follow Without Pride [LJ mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4885 words -- October 2009
"But you're pissed off when he does stuff like that?" Ray wanted to know. "When he doesn't listen and almost gets killed?"
Forty-Five Years [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 889 words -- June 2009
Ray's never going to get used to it, but it's the good kind of not-getting-used-to, like how he's never going to get used to waking up spooning Fraser.
Katabasis [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 17027 words -- April 2009
"I talked to your dad, I went through this place called the Borderland, I had a boat ride, I fed a wolf a doughnut, and I told stories for your soul," Ray interrupted. "This does not mean you are not insane."
The Love Song of S. Raymond Kowalski [LJ mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4953 words -- May 2009
Ray dared to smush his experimental hair down in hats in Canada, dared to eat everything Fraser gave him including the freaky bark tea, dared ... dared to let Fraser turn his world inside out and meet his eyes afterward.
Magnetic [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 20867 words -- March 2009
Ray remembered something about that from high school science class, something about how magnets with the same charge couldn't get near each other, but high school science had been wrong, because Ray was the one pinging off the walls over here, while Fraser and Vecchio were just standing there, easy as anything.
Magnificent Mile [DSSS archive mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 4553 words -- December 2009
"When it's dark," Ray said, "and cold, and the sun is never, ever coming back, we light candles. We light candles and we, we huddle up, we create warmth, and I do this every day, Fraser."
Missing the Train -- Fraser/Thatcher -- 689 words -- February 2011
Sometimes, Meg Thatcher reasoned, a kiss could only happen in a certain place under a particular set of circumstances.
Name It [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 3694 words -- June 2009
"Needed that, huh," Ray said, simple words not even masquerading as a question.
No Cocoon [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 2662 words -- March 2009
He found himself echoing the familiarity, leaning towards this new Ray, figuring out the mysteries and the differences not with intellect alone but with determined physicality.
Saturday [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 1169 words -- July 2009
The weekend starts at about 7 AM, because it's just Ray's luck that he has to be living with a chronic early riser and another guy who is understandably kind of an insomniac after spending a year as a mob boss.
Signs of Affection [LJ mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 5775 words -- August 2009
Even Fraser had agreed, if a little resignedly, and Ray had felt like total crap for asking Fraser to bluff and mislead and prevaricate and anything else short of outright lying, even though he knew Fraser did it all the time. It was different if Ray and Vecchio were asking him to.
A State of Being (In Five Steps, With Flowchart) [LJ mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 2824 words -- November 2009
Ray always did things backwards with Fraser. Out of order, upside-down, hanging off rooftops, putting the sled before the Dief, all that good stuff.
Undercover [DW mirror] -- Fraser/Kowalski/Vecchio -- 12504 words -- October 2009
If Ray got stuck on a case, he'd start to call the Yellowknife line, and his hands would shake badly enough he'd have to punch the couch a few times to calm down. He always ended up calling Vecchio instead.
You Are My True North -- Fraser/Kowalski -- 180 words -- February 2010
I saw this card that wasn't pink and it said what I was thinking so I got it and I did stupid stick figures on the front because sometimes words don't work so good, and this is all I got.
THE EXORCIST
Batter My Heart -- Marcus/Tomas -- 8899 words -- December 2018
He missed Tomas the way he missed God, Marcus realizes, and it evaporates the air in his lungs, the desperate necessity of it.
FIREFLY
Testing [DW mirror] -- River -- 2554 words -- July 2005
There is no getting better. There is only getting different.
GOOD OMENS
Anywhere You Want to Go -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 9990 words -- July 2019
Aziraphale knew Crowley liked him. He'd known it with a horrible clarity since around 1100, which was at least a thousand years after the first time he'd thought of kissing Crowley, and some eight hundred and odd before it occurred to him that the specific quality of Crowley's regard could be very dangerous for both of them, if they actually admitted their feelings aloud.
It was also two weeks since any of that had mattered at all anymore.
Better Than A Win -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 1200 words -- December 2011
Aziraphale would have missed (or perhaps deliberately ignored) the nuance of together, but Crowley was a man-shaped being of the world, and knew what was being asked. "We've been around since -- for a while," he said. "But it's not like that."
Everything Else Is A Substitute For Your Love -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 7537 words -- June 2019
"You can't have been a demon," Aziraphale said. "No one used to be a demon. Why would you say that?"
Falling Rain -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 7642 words -- November 2003
"This whole flood business," Aziraphale said thoughtfully. "You know, drowning all the wicked. You know our jobs. You're supposed to encourage wickedness. So, er, I suppose you've done a spectacularly good job."
knowing this will I reach for you -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 24626 words -- December 2019
It wasn't as though his interest in Aziraphale was entirely appropriate. Of course it wasn't bloody appropriate. He was consorting with the Enemy, nothing about it was appropriate.
Saunter [DW mirror] -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 1461 words -- June 2005
There is nothing to do but feel out of sorts, disjointed and slightly askew from the world, and watch as Aziraphale absently eats the apple, the world's hundred millionth apple, symbolic of nothing at all.
Theatrical Sins: A Play in Three Acts [DW mirror] -- Aziraphale/Crowley -- 2283 words -- November 2004
"What did you do?" Crowley asked in horror, the first time he saw Aziraphale after sleeping away most of the nineteenth century.
When in Rome [DW mirror] -- Aziraphale & Crowley -- 1446 words -- September 2003
"I've met this wonderful fellow by the name of Dennis the Short, and he's decided to bring things a bit more up-to-date, give important things the importance they deserve, you know."
HARRY POTTER
as disastrous as to lose [DW mirror] -- Remus/Tonks, Remus/Sirius -- 4398 words -- August 2009
She wants connection before she dies. That can't be too much to ask.
Geometry of the Impossible -- Remus/Sirius/James/Lily -- 21053 words -- July 2017
"I don't think Lily nor James would be very happy if I did his courting for him," Remus said. He saw that Sirius' face was fixed into blank patience, and had a flash of desire to snarl and go for Sirius' throat, because he might at least understand that. "Look. There are comical farces written around your idea, and I'm not terribly keen on having Lily fall for me instead --"
Several Ways to Apologize [DW mirror] -- Remus/Sirius -- 3333 words -- July 2009
"The thing is, though," Sirius said, addressing the scarlet draperies, "Moony's not going to give me legumes and yell. He's too nice."
Summer Colours -- MWPP -- 1358 words -- December 2004
Rilke instructs him to be independent, and Remus is starting to think this is a very good idea.
Tom Riddle Will Take Your Soul (The Waking Dreams Remix) [DW mirror] -- Tom/Ginny, Harry/Ginny -- 3559 words -- August 2011
Pour your heart out to a Horcrux, and it will pour itself out to you.
HIGHLANDER
All That Remains [DW mirror] -- Methos -- 2048 words -- July 2010
They always ask eventually.
calamity of so long life [DW mirror] -- Duncan/Methos -- 3067 words -- June 2010
I love a good apocalypse.
Fall -- Methos/Alexa -- 608 words -- February 2011
This journey was for her, in all its particulars, and he would be whatever she needed him to be.
Fiction [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Duncan/Methos -- 5562 words -- September 2010
"Oh God, you found Carolyn's book," Duncan said, sounding at least five hundred times less mortified than Methos had hoped.
HOT FUZZ
And This Time I'll Remember [Yuletide archive mirror] -- Nicholas/Danny -- 2859 words -- December 2008
Nicholas Angel knew it was going to be a bad day when he woke up on Christmas Eve face-to-face with a dead body.
LIFE ON MARS
Deduction [DW mirror] -- Gene -- 1230 words -- June 2007
DI Tyler is like a gift from God, although Gene allows that if this is true, God's one sick bastard.
Oh You Pretty Things [DW mirror] -- Sam/Gene -- 7744 words -- December 2008
"Today," Sam told the mirror, "I'm going to work through the gender issues I didn't even know I had."
Quicksand [DW mirror] -- Sam -- 1995 words -- August 2009
There has to be limits to what the mind can do. Grit on Annie's palms, all the air knocked out of him when Gene slams him into a wall, cigarette smoke and the sticky drink rings on the tables at the Arms. Limits.
THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES
where you go, I'm going (so jump and I'm jumping) -- Jon/Martin -- 6531 words -- March 2021
"I don't think so," Alex said. She looked at Martin. "Is this really how it went?"
"What?" Martin said. Alex and Georgie and Jon were all looking at him. The sky seemed so different today--
THE MECHANISMS
Blood Like Wine -- Jonny d'Ville/Gunpowder Tim -- 2463 words -- November 2021
When Jonny said it, he didn't even really mean anything by it. He was running his mouth, paying more attention to the way it made Tim thrash under him than the words he was saying. Jonny leant forward, digging his fingernails into Tim's shoulder blades, and said, low and vicious, "I want to eat your heart."
The Construction of Reality -- Lyfrassir Edda/Marius von Raum -- 19886 words -- May 2021
"I think," Marius said, "that you were slated to get all eaten up along with the rest of your world, but you're too much of a stubborn bastard, and it didn't take. I mean, look at you! It's obvious that half of you wants to fling yourself out the nearest airlock so you can do something weirdly intimate to the black hole out there, and instead you're in here with me."
Lyfrassir's skin was buzzing. Several rainbow-sheened tears fell onto their clasped hands. "When you put it like that," they rasped, "I'm obviously making a terrible choice."
Cosmically and Horribly -- Mechanisms ensemble -- 129040 words -- July 2022
"I thought you should know," Ivy said, "It's back."
What an absurd thing to say to someone. It's back, like that was supposed to mean something. Tim hadn't heard from Ivy since he'd left for college. He hadn't been back to Derry since, a source of constant tension with his parents, who wanted him to visit home and couldn't seem to understand why Tim still fucking hated the place twenty years later. He could feel Derry like a gravity well, tilting him back towards childhood, back towards the worst moment.
"Fuck," Tim said. "I'll be there in the morning."
lies we tell the universe -- Mechanisms ensemble -- 79382 words -- July 2021
If there was one thing Nastya's kid brother didn't need, it was to be told that he was a god. But here he was, wrapped in dark leather with makeup lines of black lightning spiderwebbing across his face, surrounded by a massive crowd of worshipful enablers.
louder than god's revolver and twice as shiny -- Jonny d'Ville & Mechanisms ensemble -- 4513 words -- October 2021
Jonny feels really fucking pleased for the first thirty seconds after he hangs up the phone, having successfully scheduled his top surgery, which is now officially happening in four months. Then the Toy Soldier ruins it by calling across the apartment, with its usual cheer, "Ah, that's too bad, old chum! You won't be able to attend Danger Days, then!"
moons in collision, like gravity or love -- Jonny d'Ville/Mechanisms ensemble -- 38757 words -- March 2021
His living heart had hurt, and the new one felt strange: he could feel the clockwork and the gears in his chest where there had once been nothing but messily squeezing muscle, and at that first tickticktick he felt the sick swooping rightness of it so strongly that every moment on either side of it went white with euphoria. Linear memory's overrated, anyway.
Spin the Knife -- Jonny d'Ville/Mechanisms ensemble -- 2029 words -- April 2021
As described.
Stave Off the Boredom (with Fire and Food) -- Jonny d'Ville/Ashes O'Reilly, Jonny d'Ville/Gunpowder Tim -- 4905 words -- January 2021
Jonny opened his mouth to point out, crankily, that everyone on this ship was a fucking pedant and only Ashes had the thimbleful of brain necessary to understand that obviously he was asking about kinks they'd enjoyed, when Tim said, "Maybe the question should be, what's the kinkiest thing you've never done that you want to try?"
stay with me, go places -- Jonny d'Ville/Gunpowder Tim -- 33554 words -- September 2021
Jonny's goal was to get the hell out of the country for a few months once he was legally allowed to leave, but he hadn't pitched this at Tim yet, because do you want to just travel wherever the hell we feel like on whatever train we can catch sounded -- it sounded like a lot, somehow.
We Longed to Hear the Matrimonial Hymn Sung -- Marius von Raum/Mechanisms ensemble -- 5892 words -- December 2021
Or: Dr. Baron Marius von Raum's quest to wed every single Mechanism.
MERLIN
Controllable Things [DW mirror] -- Arthur/Merlin -- 1514 words -- October 2008
You hold him and you don't even like him that much but he belongs here and it is your right and without him you would be dead.
NARNIA
Nor Love So Sweet [Yuletide archive mirror] -- Lucy/Rilian -- 6016 words -- December 2007
"I'm sure happiness is much nicer once you've been sad first and can appreciate it," Lucy said finally.
PLANESHIFT EXTENDED UNIVERSE
Better Than An Absent God -- Gwinna & Merineth -- 1202 words -- October 2016
For the first time she realizes how stupid her question has always been, was Dyr a paladin, as though that alone would give her any real insight. "What was she like?" Merineth whispers.
Collision -- Dusk/Gwinna/Aja/Zeth -- 2383 words -- October 2015
Gwinna is not very good at liking people.
Devotional Fragments from the Protector Goddess -- Dyr & Merineth -- 255 words -- September 2019

Tradition -- Zanger ensemble -- 3891 words -- September 2021

The Violent Death of the Goddess Ajora -- Ash/Ajora -- 2506 words -- September 2019
This is a story about new things built upon the bones of the old.
PROTAGONISH
Call My Name and Save Me From the Dark -- Austin/Harper -- 5291 words -- December 2021
Harper is beautiful and unafraid, and the weight of longing hits Austin with such force that he can't breathe. He doesn't even really know what he wants, not yet, except for Harper to continue to look at him like he already understands a version of Austin that Austin has never been, and he wants to deserve the way Harper looks at him. He wants to be something besides his father's blunt instrument.
SANCTUARY
Dissect the Suppositions [DW mirror] -- John Druitt/James Watson -- 4233 words -- August 2010
Night after night, I poured my insights out to you, never knowing that the target of my manhunt was the man who dissected my suppositions.
SIX OF CROWS
Staunch -- Jesper/Wylan -- 3190 words -- December 2017
Saying it was more difficult than Jesper had anticipated. "I think I have to work out how ... how to be a Grisha."
SLINGS & ARROWS
high on a stage be placed to the view [DW mirror] -- [podfic version] -- Geoffrey/Darren -- 1340 words -- September 2009
"A flying start," says Darren in a snap of contempt, and Geoffrey feels a jolting little thrill, because they have this down, they already have it perfectly in tune; of course the irony of playing Guildenstern is lost on Darren, but the irony of playing Rosencrantz off him had been lost to Geoffrey until these three words.
If We Shadows [DW mirror] -- Geoffrey -- 1773 words -- January 2009
Geoffrey is an instrument of words; he knows words can move a whole mass of bodies to laughter, to a collective gasp, to unashamed tears. But it's an aesthetic, words to create something beautiful, and suddenly, Ellen says, Ellen says ...
STARGATE ATLANTIS
Like This [DW mirror] -- Sheppard/McKay -- 4962 words -- January 2007
John Sheppard doesn't need anyone. He never really has, either. It's a thing.
SUPERNATURAL
Buffy On Reruns In All the Hotels -- girl!Dean -- 1071 words -- October 2011
The things that go bump in the night go bump in the daytime too. A perky cheerleader who saves the day isn't any kind of role model.
THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY
Silky Story -- Ade Larson -- 5046 words -- December 2020
In the summer of 1889, Ade Larson took passage on a laker from Chicago to Sault Ste Marie, and on the docks of southern Ontario she heard her first story of the sea women.
UMBRELLA ACADEMY
the only hope for me is you -- Allison & Vanya -- 2474 words -- March 2019
Allison wonders whether Vanya has a personality in there somewhere, or if it's just violin concertos all the way down.
WHITE COLLAR
Getting Somewhere -- Neal/Peter/Elizabeth -- 1199 words -- February 2011
"So," Neal said. "Has Peter caught on yet?"
YOUNG WIZARDS
Aschesis -- [podfic version] -- Ronan & Darryl -- 10213 words -- December 2010
"Ronan," the Lone Power said softly. "Didn't He leave you out? You gave your life, and He abandoned you. What good are you without Him?"
Not Enough [DW mirror] -- Tom/Carl -- 5502 words -- February 2006
Cold, he thought detachedly. The only really cold thing is interstellar space.
