Summary
In a story called Travel, Helena Wells got into a cab with a tall financial advisor named Myka Bering... and was, initially at least, massively annoyed by her. But what effect did getting into a cab with a staggeringly beautiful British consultant named Helena Wells have on Myka Bering? This version of the tale begins as a simple reversal of the original Travel’s Helena-centric perspective, then takes the story to some different places. Did Myka really deserve what she got at that softball game? We’ll see...

Summary
Emma Swan is catapulted into stardom, the newest lead actress on a sanitized show featuring modern fairytales. Regina Mills is a long-undermined star with a chip on her shoulder and a thousand reasons why she's invested. Naturally, they loathe each other on sight.
Their characters' fanbases, however, have other ideas.

Summary: “I was in the neighborhood?” Myka offers, glancing over her shoulder at the lumbering SUV parked against the curb before turning back to face Helena. “If a four hour drive counts as being in the neighborhood.” Instinct fix-it fic/ slight au.

Summary
B&W AU. Just a short spin on a "shipwrecked on an uninhabited island" fantasy. Not that the experience is all that fantastical for the group. . . .

Summary
"The problem is Pygmalion, who did not, as legend says, fall in love with a statue he had carved, but actually froze his beloved into a statue, that he might admire her in fixed, idealized form, stripped of the character imperfections that made her, like all people, human."
There is some plot here, but mostly this is porn and feelings.

Summary
Sawdust mixes with the air and HG breathes it in, the dark clouds outside not giving way to rain just yet. It’s just an afternoon practice session so the trapeze artists aren’t in their usual performance wear, but Myka looks stunning nevertheless as she and Pete fly dizzyingly up above her.

Summary
“Look, I’m not going to beat around the bush here. You might win, but that’s not likely unless you’re a trained killer. I’m assuming that you’re not. So, my job is to give you my advice, help you as much as I can, and do everything in my power to make the Capitol happy. I don’t want to see you killed.
"You’re just kids. The truth is, one or both of you will die.”

Summary
A new slave, barely conscious and beaten to within an inch of her life, is deposited in a cell beneath Warren Bering's famed ludus gladiatorus. None who work in the ludus know who she is or why she's there; they can only treat her wounds and await explanations from the Dominus upstairs. But the slave has her own plan--one where the Dominus' eldest daughter plays a central role.

Summary
This series is a collection of stories that detail events that occur between Myka Bering and Helena G. Wells when the cameras aren't rolling. It's as canon-compliant as I can manage without committing every episode to memory (sorry, The X-Files has already occupied that section of my brain for at least twenty years) and the stories are purposely out of order, presented as they're written.
The works assume that the reader is familiar with the episodes referenced in each summary so as to focus solely on the interaction between characters in these moments.
