When Gilbert leaves for UoT and Anne for Queens, their correspondence follows their unfolding lives. Together they muddle through academia, societal expectations and newly-awakened sexuality... even if all is not quite as it seems.

Summary
Now that you're actually getting married and have a fifteen month old baby together, it's not possible to avoid it any longer: Five has to meet your parents. It goes more wrong than you could possibly imagine, spiralling to bring up secrets he'd rather stay buried.
The fourth of my Hard Feelings series. If the tags didn't make it clear enough, we are going to some uncomfortable places here. The non-con is more centred on psychology than the physical acts. The sex act tags reference acts performed consensually. We're looking at 50% fluff and 50% hurt/comfort. Why yes, I DO have a tone problem, thank you for noticing. [Updated 2026 with rewrite and inclusion of Allison]

Summary
All was quiet and still but for the wilting tinsel shifting minutely in the tiny draft at the window frames. The bar was deserted - as dead as a doornail, you might say.
You're a Christmas-hating bar owner with the world's most annoying regular - the sort of idiot that goes around with a 'Merry Christmas' and a goofy smile on his lips. In your opinion, Luther should be roasted with his own turkey and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.
But when you're visited by strange apparition on Christmas Eve, you realize that your Grinch-like ways have more of an effect than you could have ever anticipated. And who better to teach you the error of your ways than Luther's brother, who holds the power of Christmases Past, Present and Yet to Come in the palm of his hand.
Adaptation of a Christmas Carol, cross-posted to Tumblr.

Summary
On the day the world ends, you mess around with one of your professor's experimental machines only to find yourself in a delicatessen full of a guy you used to know. A guy with whom you have...unfinished business.
Stuck at the end of the world in a deli full of desparate Fives? What is a gal to do?
This is a fun romp designed to make me feel better about the disaster of a season we just had to endure.

Summary
HH. You don't need a lawyer, Mr Calabro. You're not in trouble and we aren't CIA, we just want to talk.
FC. Talk? You just gave me the black-bag treatment!
HH. I admit we were a little heavy handed -
FC. I know my rights!
HH. Mr Calabro, please: one of your clients is our employee.
FC. You mean Five, don't you? I knew that guy would get me in trouble. Vacuum salesman my ass.To Frank, Five Hargreeves is a loyal client and an excellent drinking buddy who just so happens to be stuck in the body of a teen. But when Frank finds himself kidnapped and interrogated by a shady organisation who maintains the timeline, his conversations with Five suddenly take on a different significance.
Since leaving leaving juvenile detainment three years ago, Five's doing better...But something feels like it's missing. The unique challenges of his situation prove confusing and frustrating, and things still aren't quite right with his family.This story is continuous with 'Alias Number Five' so does not follow canon. Season 4 never happened. Updates weekly. With thanks to KayBreezy who got me through writer's block.

Not my pairing but this right here is a smut masterclass. Top quality characterization and scene setting.

Summary
In Which Sir Reginald Hargreeves is still looking for a governess to handle his extraordinary brood, and thinks a convent would be a good place to find someone who truly understands discipline.
