    Summary

    James knew then, with a devastating certainty, that there was nothing awaiting him in England. This shell of a man he had become, or rather what yolk had run out once the shell was broken, had no friends there. All who once knew him would look at him with this same pity, and excuse themselves from his company. He no longer had anything to offer them to keep them by his side.

    A story about longing and belonging.

    Summary

    She could brush these thoughts off when Thomas was a paranormal being; when he wasn’t really real. But in death, reality is turned on its head. In some strange twist of fate, he seems real now—and Mike does not. And acknowledging that—accepting that—frightens Alison to bits.

     

    Or: Alison’s premature passing leaves her to deal with grief, the pain of Mike moving on, and finding solace in the unexpected form of a lovelorn Romantic poet.

    Set about two years after Series 4.

    Summary

    There is something inevitable about them; like the certainty of the sun in the morning and the moon and all her stars at night.

    After all is said in done, how will history tell their stories?

    (Set after the One Hundred Year War and the years following.)

    Summary

    He doesn’t know who moves first, only that Katara’s lips are incredibly soft, her mouth warm and open, her touch completely electric on his skin, and Zuko can’t stop the soft sigh that escapes him as they part.
    It’s perfect. It’s just as perfect as he’d always imagined it would be, and the fact is that he’s imagined it more often than he’d ever be able to admit.
    ~

    The tension between Zuko and Katara has been building for years. This is how it breaks.

    Summary

    And there, between their palms, is a first. The first time, it's not just her sweat-slicked hand dampening their grip. It's his hand, too. Warm and wet and (part) human.
