Summary
The year is 2032. Thirteen years have passed since the fall of Boston. The war between the United States and Gilead still rages—both within and beyond their borders.
Gilead has learned that brute force alone won't win the fight. Now, it turns to the power of image. Its newest weapon: the Purple Project, a media campaign built around its young wives—cloaked in virtue, shaped to captivate the world, and designed to legitimize a regime rotting from within.
The United States has only one answer: June Osborne.
Manipulation. Betrayal. Impossible alliances. The fight to bring Hannah home has become a darker game, one where every move carries a cost.
And while old warriors burn themselves out in the war, a new generation begins to rise—ready, or doomed, to inherit their parents’ unfinished battles.
A story of power, control, and vengeance. Of internal conflict, fractured loyalties, and redemption—and of one mother’s unbearable hope to bring her daughter back. -

Summary
I don’t know about you, but to me it feels like Janine made a huge leap between season five and the latest one.
We started to get a glimpse of that shift in the scene where she stands up to Naomi and tells her exactly what she thinks—right to her face.
I think she’s finally shed that “good girl” mask she had to wear to survive—one she can no longer hold onto, or maybe one she’s realized doesn’t work anymore.
That’s why I wanted to dig deeper into this development, stepping into her mind to explore what might have happened in the space between scenes.
Maybe I’m a little late—I started writing this before Jezebel’s end—but the little we’ve seen of Janine in this new setting left me wanting more. I think it would be really interesting to experience it from her perspective.
I also have to say, I love this new Janine, and I hope that in the little time we have left, she’ll get to return some of the blows she’s taken.
Hope you enjoy it too.

Summary
After Crossing Lines, my first fanfic about the June/Nick/Luke triangle, I already have a more ambitious story in mind: set in a crumbling Gilead after twenty years of dictatorship, this alternate version of The Testaments will focus on the fight between Gilead and the resistance, exploring the evolution of both the old and new generations.
But since I haven’t started writing it yet (I’m waiting for the show to end so I can fit it properly into canon), here’s something lighter to enjoy in the meantime.
This one-shot takes place during episode 3 of the latest season. June and Nick run into Moira and Luke at the water park… but let’s just say a few things happen here that we didn’t get to see on screen. If you were left wanting more tension, more dialogue, and especially more Nick vs Luke—this is your moment.
As for the June/Nick romance, I’ll leave that to the showrunners. Here, we’re going to explore a different kind of spark.
Hope you enjoy it! And don’t forget to leave a comment.

Summary
Set after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale Season 5.
After the attack that nearly cost June her life, she flees Toronto with her daughter, Nichole. The original plan is to take a train to Vancouver and then fly to Hawaii, but the fear of being separated from her family again overwhelms her, and she ends up staying in Vancouver—until, months later, something pulls her back to Toronto.
There, things seem calmer—or at least that’s how it appears—and she manages to rebuild a somewhat normal life with Luke and Nichole.
Until Nick's arrival turns her world upside down once again.
