Summary
It's so easy to sink into it, to imagine a reality where one change could validate their relationship in the eyes of the world. Where they could use one word, and people would finally understand the depth of camaraderie and devotion and love they share. Where they could share affection openly and not have people tell them they act "too close" for brothers. Where nobody would ever wonder why they aren't seeking the fulfillment people think they can only get with a lover. Where nobody would ever doubt again that they're happy, just the way they are.

Summary
Grief isn't reserved for the dead.
Sometimes loss comes for different reasons. Sometimes it means realizing that someone you love isn't who you thought they were.
Sometimes, that person was yourself all along.
Hank needs to come clean--to himself, and to Connor. More than that, he needs to apologize to Gavin.

Summary
Before Hank Anderson was assigned the deviancy cases and his android partner, deviant androids were the responsibility of Gavin Reed and Chris Miller. Gavin knew the difference between a normal android and a deviant, and that Connor was no normal android. He knew CyberLife was planning something, and that Connor would play an integral role in their plot.
He failed to stop them, and now the man he's secretly admired for years has been charmed by the enemy into the line of fire. With Chris having evacuated with his family, that leaves an injured Gavin as the only one who knows the truth. Can he protect Hank? Can he prevent the android revolution from growing into something far more sinister?
Is it possible to be right, and yet to have it all so very wrong?

Summary
Not intially written to be a series, but a bunch of the headcanon from "In Their Minds; In Their Hearts" showed up in "Oh Confound it, Dating is Discombobulating", so I finally decided to connect the two. However, neither fic is required to understand the other.
ITM;ITH is a headcanon story for Dirk: Synchronize/Unite.
OCiDiD takes place directly after, but diverges pretty far from canon. It's a study in character play between the Alphas, for what would have happened if Dirk had admitted to himself that Jane liked Jake.
The third entry is an alternate ending to OCiDiD, written for April Fools' Day 2013.
Have fun!

Summary
Heather McNabb's career as an airline hostess comes to an end in much the usual manner: she meets a man.
(Two men, really, though not at once, and she wouldn't know it until later—but that's getting ahead of the story.)
Or, the Innocents don't always go home at the end of the story.

Awesome, well-researched take on a minor recurring character, written using one of my all-time favourite story structures (where information is revealed piece by piece until the puzzle starts to take shape). Heather deserved better than she got in the show, and she's given it here.

Summary
The Tesseract skids to a halt at Loki’s feet while he waits for Thor to haul him back to Asgard. Seeing an opportunity, he picks it up and uses it to get away. But it takes him... well, he’s not sure where. It looks like the inside of Stark Tower, right back where he started. But now there is no one else to be seen, and the view out the window seems wrong...

Bookmarker's Notes
A gorgeous canon-divergent fic that really surprised me. Without going into too many spoilers, don't get dissuaded by the Original Male Character the way I almost did. This is a story that very much has a Thorki blueprint, and the other relationship--and the OMC himself--only exists because of Thor's love for his brother, though he isn't Loki. It's a wonderful character study that asks a lot of intriguing questions about personhood, and what makes each of us ourselves. It also has one of the best instances of Loki confronting Thor about his grievances that I've seen in a fic, and a wonderfully hopeful ending. Definitely recommended!

Bookmarker's Notes
A fic so good I wrote a fic of it!
But more specifically, a wonderful character study with a perfect balance between Loki-typical angst and humour, plus some sexy fun with Loki having a praise kink and Thor having a praising Loki kink. A good time all around!

Bookmarker's Notes
An absolutely heart-rendingly lovely story about Thor and Loki healing from the effects of abuse and rejection together. illwynd's characterizations are always top-notch and this one really scratched an itch for me. Both a great story and an important one for showing how the effects of trauma can linger and warp our sense of self, and the ways unconditional love can heal.
