    Summary

    Bellied up to the stove, he scrambles some eggs and gets toast together. Sets a pot of coffee brewing even though he’s pretty sure the milk in Doug’s fridge went bad two weeks ago.

    A heavy hand lands on the small of his back followed by a sleep-rough voice in his ear going, “What are you, my wife?”

    Every inch of Brian goes up in flames.

    Summary

    He looked out toward the sea. "I thought it better not to intrude by presuming your notice after--" he faltered, then said with effort, "after all that has passed between us. I believed it would be unwelcome."

    "Is it your habit," she asked with the faintest smile, "to determine a lady's preferences without consultation?"

    This was not the right thing to say, bringing up those things they would both rather forget. His expression shifted--perhaps embarrassment, perhaps frustration. "I did not mean to offend."

    "No?" She arched an eyebrow. "Then you do it quite by accident, sir."

    ***

    The summer after Mr. Darcy's disasturous proposal, Elizabeth encounters him at the seaside instead of at his home after her travel plans change unexpectedly. There, she discovers the pleasures of both the seaside and the man she unexpectedly shares it with.

    Summary

    It strikes him that Brian knows him in a fundamental way that Robert doesn’t. Brian’s always understood Beatle business. It’s like he said—it’s his job.

    Paul fishes out his own lighter, and holds the flame to Brian’s face.

    “Come back for one,” he says.

    For the fic-a-thon prompt: Paul and Brian cross paths on a night out at the clubs. After a mixture of several drinks/substances, and the subsequent effect of severely lowering the pair’s inhibitions, Paul begins to question Brian about his relationship with John.

    Summary


    This is a story of how KD6-3.7 became a real boy.

    Also, of making out in elevators, spectacularly failed baseline tests, reading Pinocchio, ghosts of enemies past and future, and Deckard's baffling savior streak.

    Summary

    One time, a year or two ago, Joel’s mom had found her old prom dress when cleaning out the attic. Teal blue taffeta with layers of tulle and lace, flowers embroidered along the neck. He remembers the soft lines creasing his mom’s eyes when she held it up to her body and swayed a little. I was so happy that night, she had said. I didn’t go with your father but that was the night we met. He played the trumpet in the band they hired, and the rest was history. She giggled a little, and for a moment, Joel caught a glimpse of the girl she had been. People always said he looks more like her than his dad, but, on a day his parents were out at a friend’s place for bridge, he tried the dress on. Smoothing the bodice down, when he saw himself, well. He saw his mom staring back at him.

    Summary

    “About four months after we started dating I left the field.” Ethan’s concentrating hard on the road, his back straight, hands tight on the wheel, eyes bloodshot and ringed with fresh bruises. “Switched to training other agents, strictly state-side. I needed a more regular schedule, and I wanted to be—”

    “So you never worked for the Department of Transportation?” she asks, only realising now that he’d stolen this car. “Ever?”

    He keeps his eyes on the road. “No.”

    After Shanghai, Julia comes to grips with the fact that the man she just married is a complete stranger.

    Summary

    “You know -” he’d said, on his side, Luther inspecting the jagged cut over his flank before applying a new dressing. “I meant to ask. What did you tell Julia, in the tent?”

    “That I’d look out for you,” Ilsa told him, plainly. “I wanted her to know you’d be okay.”

    He’d smiled at her, tentatively, eyes crinkled in their corners, and she had understood exactly why Julia would fall for a man like him - and how terrible and great a thing it was to let him go.

    The first time she kissed him, it was in the dark. That same night in the safehouse on the border of Uzbekistan, with her crouching by the couch and Ethan lying on it. His hand cupping the back of her head, her hand resting on his bruised stomach, breathing quietly for one long, stretching moment before leaning into each other.

    Summary

    “Has it ever happened to you?” he asks, shocking himself.
    “No.” Bill squeezes his eyes shut. He goes to move his legs, but Alice hangs on tight. “But not because it couldn’t have.” Alice kneads the knob of his ankle, rubs along the arch of his foot.
    They lay like that for a while: Alice petting him, Bill trying to gather hold of the fragmented pieces of his mind.
    “What happened to you— it wasn’t your fault.”
    Then why does it feel like punishment for every time he’s failed? Missing out on Helena’s dance recitals, half a dozen not tonights or maybe tomorrows, passing glances at gaps in a woman’s blouse or the slope of another man’s shoulders all screaming that he’s coming up short. Culminating in a failure of a man unable to fight off a horde of people forcing themselves on him.

    Dorothy pushes at his shoulders. Immediately he stops, moving back up to focus his attention on her face. She worries her lower lip, face gone pink.

    “Have you ever had, um,” she stutters out. She reaches around and grabs his ass, giving it a squeeze. “Has anyone ever fucked you?”

    He didn’t sleep much that night. When he did he dreamed about Jim: they were in a bathroom somewhere, and Ethan was putting on makeup in the mirror while Jim watched. At first they were joking and Jim was smiling at him, but then Jim took Ethan by the shoulders and held him firmly. Ethan said, Jim, what are you doing. Jim looked him in the eyes. What did Claire give you? he said.

    He says to her, once, “You know, I wouldn’t mind doing that again.”
    “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” says Rita. They’re training, back-to-back, against the robot mimics, and she hears him huff, soft and amused. They take apart the dummies together, mech fists and bullet sprays and slices of the broadsword, working in automatic tandem, and are left with a room full of sparking metal corpses, Cage’s breathing even and unhurried. She can feel him behind her, like an extra limb. He doesn’t bring it up again.

    Rita tries to scratch an itch.

    Summary

    Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.

    Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.

    (Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).

    COMPLETE.

    What if Tonks went for Snape instead of Lupin? When Tonks takes Occlumency lessons with Snape, she sees things in his head he would have preferred to keep secret. In this story, Tonks and Snape negotiate a fragile relationship while fulfilling their duties for the Order..

    “Why are you like this?”

    “If you’ve called me here to insult me Tonks…” But he doesn’t finish the thought or move away from her probing fingers. She strokes her hand up his thigh and back down as if gentling a horse.
    “I’m not. I’m serious. Why are you like this?”
