Summary
“It’s not that the words aren’t true. They are. But the thought of ever actually allowing Dani to read them—to know that Jamie, her friend and colleague, has been having pornographic fantasies about her is disastrous.
God, she’s really far gone, isn’t she?”
[or: that Atonement letter mishap Damie style]

Summary
“Oi, Poppins, there’s a lady here to see ya,” she barely gets out, before the woman is turning and Dani’s face is falling, hands grappling for purchase on her pots.
“Mom?”
[or: Jamie has never been good with parents, but this? This feels important.]

I love you (Ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?) by craploadsofawesome

Summary
Dani didn’t walk into her life. She didn’t come in and carve out a space for herself. She didn’t need to. She waltzed over and fit, seamlessly. By the time Jamie opened the door, Dani was already on the other end, making Jamie’s songs, her stories, her life, her own. All of Jamie was already hers, by the time they found each other in the kitchen, behind the statue, in the woods. All of Jamie’s places, it seemed, already carried the imprints of Dani’s footsteps.
Still, it took her about a month after the breakup to press a fist to her chest, and feel the hollow space there, the utter lack of Dani’s name being repeated there every second.
How was anyone supposed to fall out of love with their whole heart?
Or
Flora goes missing, there's a proposal, and two awkward ex-girlfriends discover they're still stupidly, disgustingly in love with each other.Bookmarked by didacticinstruction

You tilt your head (there's a city inside) by craploadsofawesome

Summary
Hearts are strange and stupid creatures, anyways. They twist over and over again for every person they love, mould themselves into the initials of names, beat to the cadence of someone’s voice and find ways to survive even after cracking wide open. Hers didn’t need to know Jamie to decide it cared about her.
Two months later, it doesn’t need to ask for Dani’s permission to decide it’s already falling in love.
An alternate universe where Dani sits across from Jamie's flower shop and writes custom poetry all day long. And then they fall in love.Bookmarked by didacticinstruction

Summary
The thing about gravity, Jamie sometimes thinks--more and more, if she’s honest with herself, as the years roll by and the memories grow thinner--is in its inevitability.

A fill for a Tumblr prompt: So the Bly ending is written where Dani is doomed to return to the lake. What would your alternative fanfic ending look like where she (and/or Jaime) overcame this, or Dani didn’t have to die?

Summary
Every movie, every book, every story about the horrors of letting in the ghosts has prepared Dani for the constant state of alarm. The panic. The discomfort of the situation.
Not a single goddamn one told her how stupid it would be.

Summary
She had said before, ‘so many people mix up love and possession,’ and now years later she wondered if that was the reason why they had been given so much time. That maybe Viola thought this was love. That maybe she loved this. Loved her. Loved them.

Summary
“‘I’m so in love with you, Dani,’ she whispers, dotting her kisses to Dani’s cheek and pulling her into a one-armed hug.
And it’s been over a year, but those words still make Dani feel like the ground has been dropped out from beneath her feet.
‘Well, that’s convenient,’ she says. ‘Because I love you, too.’”[Jamie and Dani and all the worlds where they find each other]

Summary
Korrasami AU where Book 1 saw Asami as an Equalist spy. An attempt at a canon-adjacent series, that ends up in the same place, but weaves more nuance and care into the Korra/Asami/Mako love triangle, and gives Korrasami more development earlier in the series. All stories in this series exist in the same AU.

Summary
Ballet has been at the center of Alexis’ life since she was three years old, the first time she saw New York City Ballet perform The Nutcracker. She pulled on her mother’s sleeve, much to Moira’s displeasure, pointed at the stage, and said, “Me!” It was the very first time she felt like her mother saw her. That feeling was intoxicating enough that she couldn’t help but chase it.
She’s seen some of the world's most celebrated ballerinas perform. But she’s never seen anyone dance like this girl, whose name she doesn’t know. The stage lights turn her auburn hair burning red. Her pirouettes are perfectly landed; there’s no struggle at all in the way her leg lifts behind her in attitude to tap against the tambourine she holds above her head. As she flits across the stage, her tambourine extended toward the judges like an irresistible invitation, there is something real in her smile, something seductive in her eyes.
Alexis forgets to breathe.
Ballet AU.
