    Summary

    The first time Alina goes into the Fold and comes out as the Sun Summoner, she dies. The Druskelle succeed in ambushing the entourage and killing her on the way to the Little Palace. Then she wakes up in the barracks again, the morning of the crossing. There's Alexei on his cot, totally fine. No one is looking at her or for her... no one knows she is the Sun Summoner. She is free again.
    But she knows what's going to happen and she can't let her friends die. With one endless day that she can't escape, Alina's goals grow and grow, until she wants nothing less than to discover the Darkling's secrets, change the timeline, and save Ravka. All in a day's work.

    Summary

    The Corruption of Alina Starkov


    Before any maps are set on fire, the Black General plucks her from Kribirsk.

    At his instruction, she will learn summoning. At his knee—the political field.
    In his war room—military strategy.
    Among her people, she will discover the hard truths of their plight in this world.
    And in his hands, she will become a slave of mutual pleasure and mutual obsession.

    This time around, he will give her a taste for power so potent, his altruistic Sun Summoner will learn to act without remorse for the greater good of their people—and all of Ravka.

    And when Alina Starkov turns out to be a highly adept pupil—well, he is an excellent teacher.

    Summary

    My stare flickered across the room, a trill of fear slithering down my spine as quite abruptly I realized the Darkling was leaning against the door, studying me with near palpable intensity.

    We sat in silence for what felt like an eternity.

    "Do you make it a habit of watching people while they sleep?" I finally hoarsely inquired with an edge of sarcasm, making his lips twitch into that familiar ghost of a smile. It was enough to make my chest ache.

    an alternate ending and bridge between Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising, with the ending we deserve.

    long AU :)

    “Is something wrong, Gestalt?”

    Eliza raised an eyebrow, blandly innocent.  “What do you mean?”

    “Are you alright?” Myfanwy pressed.  “Is there a reason you’ve dressed Teddy as Alex?”

    --
    Gestalt makes a wardrobe change.  Myfanwy notices.

    Summary

    “Perhaps I could help somehow?”  Sherlock offers hesitantly, needing to be able to do something, to solve something.

    “Find me a suitable girlfriend?”  John jokes bitterly.

    “I could do that.  I’m sure I could design an algorithm that uses data to find you the perfect date.”  Sherlock reaches for his notebook and pen, already scribbling down ideas, unaware of John staring incredulously at him.  At the sound of John’s mug thunking on the wooden table top Sherlock looks up, raising an eyebrow in query.

    “W..what?”  John crosses his arms and bites at the inside of his bottom lip, studying Sherlock intently before arriving at a decision.  “Oh, what the hell.  Go on then."

    Summary

    "Are you...real?" The voice was hoarse as he spoke. "Where am I?"

    "The pits." I put a knee on the rough stone to steady myself, reaching a hand out to touch at his shoulder and oh. Warm skin. I hadn't felt human heat in weeks, and it was bloody amazing. I was perhaps imagining that my fingers on his wrist brought him back to himself as much as it did me.

    He clutched back at my hand with a surprising strength and stared at me intently.
    "Who are you?"

    "Colonel Sebastian Moran." It was good, too, to hear a calm voice, I wasn't inclined to deal with a gibbering madman, or some of the ones who fell into an ecstasy as their death neared and the glamours broke through whatever mental defenses they had managed to erect. I’d had an old Sergeant tell me I was going to go far because no glamour had ever broken through and convinced me the feeding of an Old One meant anything more than death. "What's your unit, soldier? Where did they get you?"

    "Captain John Watson, Doctor, Fifth Northumberland Fusiliers," the man replied. A doctor no less, that was interesting and surprising he had survived. "You are _the_ Colonel Moran?"

    Summary

    “I need an Omega and you need an Alpha. My brother holds my trust. And you can’t seem to be promoted without the necessity of an Alpha. I will offer my name if you would play the part of dutiful soon to be mate. If you agree I’ll be sure to pad your personal account with ten thousand pounds at the end of the year. My terms are simple; there will be no physical contact unless the situation calls for it. I will not however in any way wish for a bond or bonding. In fact I would require you to stay on your suppressors. And for you a promised bond obviously would break through the red tape you find yourself coming up against in your position. At the end of the year I will have my trust secured firmly and you will receive your payment. Simple as that. You continue with your life, and I with mine. ”

    Except nothing is ever simple when dealing with the world's only Consulting Detective. A simple love story that starts out as a lie and grows into something more. Will Sherlock be able to let John go? And what will Mycroft do to insure his brother isn't truly going to bond with such an unsuitable choice as this John Watson. Surely the Holmes name would be scandalized.

    Summary

    Green.

    The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.

    Standing there amidst Janine's chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it.

    Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn't ask John.
