    Summary

    “Ach—! Shite, Daddy, you scared the bejesus out of me!” Erin shrieks, jumping away from James who looks shell shocked, and turns red, though it is doing nothing to cover up the love bites all over his neck.

    “I—You—“ Gerry stammers, dropping some cakes in surprise, “I’ll come back later!” And he slams the door as quickly as he’d opened it, and rushes back downstairs.

    When he tells Mary about it, she sighs and just pats him on the back. “Oh, but Gerry, you’ve always been so blind to these things. The weans have been seeing each other since Year 10, or so. Even Sarah knows,” and his sister in law nods sagely at him from the breakfast table. “Wise up, love.”

    --

    James and Erin and how the whole crazy bunch of Derry find out about them.

    OR

    The ending we DESERVED.

    Summary

    “An heir?”

    Alina hacks up half her tea, spoiling one of her finer dressing gowns. She’s too busy dabbing at the mess with napkins, cheeks warm, to notice the bemused look her husband gives over the top of the newspaper from where he sat reading across the breakfast table.

    She quickly learns he isn’t joking.

     

    (Or: Aleksander Morozova asks his wife for a baby, and she doesn't find herself opposed to the idea.)

    Summary

    “The problem with wanting, Miss Starkov,” Aleksander murmurs, as he’s struck by the desire to study every inch of her body with his fingertips. “Is that it makes us weak.”

    “I don’t believe that,” Alina replies quietly. Her dark eyes never leave his own.

    A bemused smile plays on his lips.

    “I believe that is yet another difference between us, Alina.”

    “You can’t believe that all personal attachments are dangerous,” she protests softly.

    Aleksander chuckles darkly.

    “No,” he agrees, gaze falling to her lips. “Just some of them.”

    Or: The Darkling is running to be President of the United States of America, and Alina is his campaign fixer. Or: a Scandal AU.

    Summary

    “I think I wasn’t aware we needed a break,” Joe protests. The word feels dirty and contemptuous in his mouth. Like fast food and diet water, it was yet another ridiculous modern custom that need not apply to them. “Wait, have you been reading those trashy airport magazines with Nile again?”
