    Summary

    “Petya,” Papa sighed, exasperated. He wiped his hand down his face, then dropped it and looked back at his son. “What’s wrong? Bad dream?”

    Peter wished he could say that it was. Let his dad keep thinking that he was the nice little boy who never did anything bad, except for the times he was forced to. But he was bad now, and that realization caused a lump to grow in his throat.

    “There’s something wrong with me,” Peter gasped.

    ***

    It had been years since they were rescued. Peter grew older, became thin, sad, and violent. But violence was good. Violence maintained order. Order prevented chaos. Chaos had no purpose, unlike Peter, whose purpose, like violence, maintained order. And some people have to die to preserve that order. Dying is just their purpose. Peter was choosing to fulfill his.

    (or: Peter’s struggling, Bucky’s overprotective, the worst video goes viral on twitter, John Walker is an empathetic asshole, Valentina tries to control the narrative, and Sam saves the day)

    Summary

    They called the soldier into a training room where he saw his son hanging upside down on the ceiling.

    “Hi Papa!” He cheered, waving with a big smile even though the soldier never gave one back.

    “Look, Soldat, your son is a miracle,” an agent cackled, yellow teeth shining in the fluorescent lights, “crawling the walls like a little spider!”

    ***

    The soldier doesn’t remember his son’s birth or how he came to be. He doesn’t remember bedding a woman and watching her belly swell, but they said the boy was his. He does know that he will protect and teach the boy within the confines of their cell walls. Even when the handlers berate him. Even when the good guys take him away

    Summary

    100 delinquents got sent to Earth and battled for survival against the odds. They landed in Trikru territory but that is not where they stayed. After weeks of battle and war, the Sky People finally lost. They were sent to a land far away, where a group of Grounders unlike any they've met waited for them.

    *This is a terrible summary...I don't know how to describe this story. It's a mix of canon and AU. But if you like arranged marriage and enemies->friends->lovers and friendship and love and fluff and angst, then this is the fic for you.

    Summary

    Jack finds it Ironic that as she stands here trying to explain that people don’t think women capable of making surgeons—her movements and her body language fight against her to prove their notion right. Too proper. Much too delicate. Yet, despite what he assumes is a lifetime of training and the idea of being a surgeon consistently beaten out of her, here she is. And despite her dresses, hats, parasols, and the way she places her hands, he knows Belle is anything but delicate.

    As he looks at those hands, he finds himself intrigued to see what they could do—if they were allowed to.

    or

    A novelized version of the show and beyond from Jack's perspective, and Belle's later on.

    (1-24 are the events of the show with more of a focus, and Jack & Belle+ additional scenes with them. Chapter 25 - and on is post-cannon.)

    The few chapters with explicit/mature content will be marked.

    UPDATE 9/20

    Work has been really insane with my new job. Things should slow down after November and around the holidays, so I'm hoping to get back to writing then!!!
    Thanks for sticking with me. I promise I'll be back to writing Artful Dodger soon.

    Summary

    Her eyes meet his, shiny with tears, bottom lip trembling as she lets out a shaky breath, like she’s relieved that her secret has been set free. And she’s the strongest person he knows, will stand up for what she believes is right, has told him off in all manner of ways, and she isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. But this—this isn’t something that she can fight or scheme or talk her way out of.

    He doesn’t ever recall being so overcome with emotions before, unable to stop tears from blurring his vision. And then she says words that he knows he can’t ever erase. Words that he’ll hear in the depths of his worst nightmares, the memory of her small hands on his cheeks, her tears dripping onto his fingers, a whooshing in his ears.

    “I’m dying, aren’t I?”

    Summary

    Neal has hit his breaking point; telling Peter about the treasure might get him thrown back in prison but, between the arrow through his arm and the constant exhaustion, he can't be bothered to care anymore. (An AU where van Horn's aim was a little better and Neal confesses.)

    Summary

    Harvey Specter lives life in absolutes.

    The suits he wears are elegant and pristine and almost always pressed – these kinds of suits are respected, conveying a well-educated and professional persona that he prides himself with. This is an absolute.

    Skinny ties are offensive and juvenile and honestly an eye sore. This, too, is an absolute.

    -

    Harvey doesn't do feelings and he definitely doesn't care, but Mike is getting under his skin. Set ambiguously around S2.

    Summary

    When Harvey finally opens his eyes, he is greeted by a soft blue pair that watch him as if he’s the only thing left in the world.

    He recognizes the look that Mike wears; It’s the same look that shows up when Harvey yells at Louis for Mike’s sake, or when he discreetly slips the younger man a coffee after a long night.

    When Mike looks at him that way, Harvey usually insults him until his expression hardens once more. But tonight he allows his mind to wander, to imagine those eyes and a teasing smile next to him in his condo, a warm hand wrapping around his own.

    ***

    Harvey knows exactly how Mike feels about him. The greater struggle is figuring out his own feelings for his associate.

    Summary

    9x23 diverging AU.

    "This is where it starts — the brightly lit ring, the screams, the glinting of knives, the baring of teeth. This, right here, is where it begins. Sam turns to Dean, Metatron just a hero's walk away, and Dean slams his fist into the side of Sam's face. It will bruise, but that's not the point. Sam will not face Metatron's blade and wrath, but that is not the point. The point is, Dean puts Sam's hands on his chest, the action sickly sweet like perfume left on a tacky, bloated corpse — and then he walks away. He leaves Sam, dreaming black dreams on the ground, just outside of the impala. Baby does not protect him when one of Abaddon's followers finds him. Baby does not scream for help or look for Dean when the demons drag Sam's unconscious body away.

    When Dean leaves Metatron's burnt-out husk, his bones screaming ecstasy from the kill, he finds Sam gone."

    COMPLETE.

    Summary

    I'm writing my vision of what Season 2 could be. Jack Dawkins is out of prison, but not entirely free. He and Belle are waiting out the end of his sentence to be together, but when a stranger arrives from London with questions about Jack's past and Belle's surgery, everything they're trying to build is thrown into Jeopardy. This work is part of a series but can be read alone.

    Eight months was a very long time to be good.

    The governor and Lady Fox had given him an extraordinary deal, he knew that. One more year of service to the hospital and his penal debt would be paid. His record would be expunged and he would be a free man for the first time in his adult life. Furthermore, he didn’t have to stop his work as a surgeon. In fact, Lady Fox had made it quite clear that his skill in that arena was a key reason for this miraculous deal.

    All he had to do was abide by three simple rules:

    1. Don’t go anywhere
    2. Don’t make any money
    3. Don’t be alone with Belle
