    Summary

    A post-season-3, plot-and-feelings fic documenting what happens to Maeve (and Elena) after Maeve’s “death”.

    Living powerless and in hiding isn’t quite the happy ending Maeve thought it would be, and things get complicated when Ashley shows up, fired from Vought, offering Compound V in exchange for a team-up. Maeve must confront what she wants from life and what it means to be a hero far away from The Seven.

    Featuring loads of Maeve/Elena history, baggage, fighting and fluff, an unexpected bond between Maeve and Ashley, and lots of backstory for Maeve.

    Summary

    Aziraphale saw him sometimes in all-staff meetings, sitting toward the front but off to the side, lounging against a wall. Even then, he’d had style—wings tipped in gold and face painted with gold flakes in the pattern of the first constellation he designed. He was amazing, and eye-catching, and it was no exaggeration to say that he did not know Aziraphale even existed.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    The Addams have a curse that strikes many in their line, but Wednesday had always avoided it, largely by avoiding people altogether. When a storm-drenched young woman shows up on her doorstep while her family is away on vacation, though, Wednesday's only thought is to have her sent away as soon as possible, but there's something strangely familiar about the girl. Something Wednesday can't put her finger, or any of Thing's, on. It hardly matters, though. She wants a simple favor, and then she'll be gone. Just a quick vision.

    What's the worst that could happen?

    Summary

    “I’m always amazed at how you’re not kidnapped or dead in a ditch. Your luck is almost annoying.”

    “What can I say?” Vi grinned with that casual leaning shrug. “God is a woman, and She thinks I’m hot.”

     

    Vi and Cait are coworkers on the second season of their hit show. Their characters onscreen have great chemistry and are popular with fans, but the actors themselves? Barely get along.

    Until they have to.
