    Summary

    Here is something - someone - who will outlive him; the next generation to carry forward the stories and traditions, memories of fishing trips and Thanksgivings and heartbreaks and victories. This bundle of soft fabric and skin smelling of sleep is all the hope and wonder Derek couldn’t even imagine.
    It feels like this wave of tenderness will kill him, like it’ll make his heart burst wide open in his chest.

    Summary

    "Volcanoes and floods, epidemics and wars... Why do I always find you with your head bent over some human misery?"

    Aziraphale raises his head from where he was whispering soft words to the little girl, and smiles at Crowley tiredly. The demon tries his damn hardest to pretend that warmth doesn't pool in his stomach, that this smile doesn't mean a thing in the millennia of their friendship.

    Summary

    There is a world where Hades loves Persephone and is able to let her go for six months each year because he knows it will only make the reunion sweeter. And another, in which Eurydice never meets the bright-eyed boy who is destined to be her downfall, or one in which Orpheus is her salvation instead.
    There is a world where Orpheus’ love is enough and he doesn’t turn to look.

    This is not that world.

    Summary

    It's 1981 and the world has changed.
    Lord Voldemort found a way to cheat fate with the help of his loyal friends and the most unlikely time traveller. But those who seem loyal have their own agendas, everything has a price, and nothing is what it seems. Wizarding England is almost ready to fall.
    Unless...

    Summary

    Nobody pays it any mind when bushy-haired Hermione Granger goes to Hufflepuff and shows another first year student in the crowd a thumbs up. It gets everybody’s attention when Harry Potter joins her a few minutes later.

    Summary

    There is no rest for the wicked, my dearest.

    It’s an old and simple truth, one of those rarely questioned - when the noise of the day dies down and darkness falls over the desert, the men of this land are left alone in the quiet. No matter how far they go on their Harleys trying to outrun the demons in their heads, there is no escape from them. No relief.

    Summary

    When Nassau shows on the horizon, it feels like coming home.
    It's in the coarseness of the sand under his boots, in the way the island's air tastes like. It's unique and he can tell, he's been everywhere he ever wanted (and some places he never did want) and nowhere else feels like Nassau – so it must mean home, aye?

    Summary

    AJ thinks back to the last time they scrubbed out together - middle of the night after a twelve-hour procedure, they were both exhausted and yet unwilling to part yet. He thinks back to the almost-kiss when they shared breath and space when Mina’s cheek was brushing his beard and her fingers ghosted touch on his chest. His heart squeezes painfully.
    “We need to trust Okafor to know when to duck bullets,” he says eventually, after a too-long pause. Kit seems to understand what he isn’t saying anyway.

    Summary

    “How's the husband?” asks one of the manicure girls and the angel feels blood drop to his toes.

    “Fantastic,” he manages before changing the topic quickly and he can see the looks exchanged, the 'oh that older generation' unspoken fond comments. But it is true, they act like an old married couple, Aziraphale thinks while picking up Ethiopian for dinner and knowing precisely what to order.

    There's an intimacy to their way of living these days, the one that comes only after years of knowing and loving someone, of paying attention to such details as which jam is the last one to be finished (strawberry) or the favorite pillowcase. They move seamlessly around in the small kitchen, like choreographed except not, and they touch oh so often these days.

    Summary

    Back when they were still hunting for horcruxes, cold and lost and hungry – back when everything was much simpler, Hermione thinks with a hint of irony – she used to think that killing Voldemort will solve everything. They get rid of the cursed objects that kept a thin thread of his life within them, Harry does his hero thing, Death Eaters get what is coming to them, and the world goes back to how it was before: golden, and magical, and innocent.

    Summary

    Fate is a fickle thing.

    It can be the most powerful thing in the universe, more powerful than angels and demons, than dark magic and bright lights. You cannot outrun your destiny, teach the myths and legends spoken by the crackling fires, for it is the thing that makes the world spin. Whatever will be, will be. You can only embrace it.

    Perhaps.

    If there is anything Caroline has learned through the long decades of her life it's that sometimes destiny isn't what is seems to be.

    Summary

    This is Rip, someone who has always been there, who literally knows where all the bodies are buried and where all the weak spots lie. If there is someone other than herself or father who is completely committed to protecting this family, Beth thinks while staring at the ceiling, it's him and perhaps this is why it scares her so. It's so easy to trust him, to dance with him and to feel like she's not the worst thing in the world when he looks at her. If she is the shield of the Dutton clan, then Rip is the sword.

    Summary

    Not edited, uploaded daily throughout Inktober 2019 - but in the form of short fics because trust me, I have the drawing talent of a 2 year old kid. Multiple fandoms, no filters. Mostly character studies and short, written portraits.

    If I don't post, feel free to yell at me in the comments. Please.

    Summary

    Allison loves her sister so the world ends.

    Allison loves her sister so the moon falls, and they all need to go back in time - but this is not a story about that. Someone else will tell you that story if you ask nicely. No, this will not bring you relief, it will not fix anything because certain things cannot be fixed.

    So let's start again, shall we?
    Allison loves her sister so the world does not end.

    Summary

    "It's so unfair," Nic complains drunkenly one night when she, Irving and Pravesh are drowning their respective heartbreaks in cheap beer. "He looks at her like she put the freaking sun in the sky but won't do anything about it! Because it would be unprofessional! Bullshit!"

    Devon pats her arm comfortingly, not really knowing what she's talking about but deciding to be supportive anyway.

    Summary

    In the beginning she's a plaything, the mean girl brought low, made and unmade by decisions of others and Caroline never receives apologies for most of it. Elena fights for her happy ending and through all of her losses and dark despair she is never alone. Bonnie wins her freedom, powerful in her own right. Caroline is left with uncertainty and obligations.

    No, the story isn't kind to Caroline. So let's change the story.

    Summary

    The Mirror cannot lie. It will show you the deepest, most desperate desires - but it lacks the power to grant them.
    Or, five times Albus Dumbledore looked into the Mirror of Erised.

    You know this story. You know how it ends.

    Summary

    Starts with that unbelievably tender kiss in 1x12 and goes on.

    Screenwriters seemed to be in a lot of hurry to make this ship happen so I'm trying to come up with something to keep it canonical but less nonsensical than what they did.
