Summary
And then the door chimed, and Woolsey came in looking mournful and anxious, and everything got derailed.
Death and life, hope and hopelessness, aren't just for the Pegasus galaxy. Eventually, inevitably, it's going to happen on Earth. John and Rodney, loss and family and what it means to be home.
Warning: Death of a minor canon character in a way integral to the plot; deals with bereavement and loss suffered by a major character. No major characters die in this story, however.

Excellent crossover between Curse of Chalion and the Vorkosigan universe, both by the incomparable Lois McMaster Bujold. Voices, motivations, and actions - and limits - are all delightfully in-character. Go, read.

Summary
Talboys. Set late in World War II following Peter's death. Consistent with Sayers canon up to the end of the Wimsey Papers but going AU at some point after 1940. There is sex happening but no explicit revelations of the non-marriage bed. Warning for Helen.
Credit for the "He's called Mervyn" line goes to Nineveh_uk, as does the subtitle "Helen made us do it".

It is absolutely required for all Sayers fans to read this immediately.
And then the skilled among us must plead for the right to do the sequel.

Unexpectedly deep and sound fusion of SGA and Valdemar, from what had promised to be a hilaricrack starting point: Rodney being Chosen by the Companion Cadman.

This may be the single best coming out story, and the single best Ennis story, that I have ever read, which is saying something because I have read a great many of them.
