Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

Summary
Part ten of the just the bits in-between series: a collection of missing scenes taking place between or during each episode of series 2.
the satan pit. Rose and the Doctor wind down after their escape from Krop Tor, and Rose can feel a shift in the Doctor's demeanour and their relationship. But as the end of the evening approaches, her anxieties following their time on that planet still haven't been addressed, and she's a bit too afraid to do so. Hurt/comfort, romance, longing, angst, humour, long hugs, sharing a bed and best friends just messing around and looking out for each other, all the things you'd expect from a post-TSP fic (that we were robbed of in Love and Monsters). Rated T for language. [COMPLETE]

Summary
The knife sank into his body, and Alina regretted it almost immediately. She tried to stop the flow of blood, but by the way it spurts out in coughs, Alina knew that she hit true. Her hands stained red, so red it seemed like they never had been another color; vaguely, she wondered if cleaning them would ever get them rid of the smell of iron.

Summary
Alina Starkov expected to wake up on a ship sailing across the True Sea, one that would take her far from Ravka, far from the Darkling and his mad crusade. Instead, she awoke in Os Alta to a devastating truth: the war was won nearly a century ago, her first love was dead, and she remembered nothing.
Not even that, as part of her surrender, she agreed to a political marriage.

Summary
"Alina." The Darkling hooked two fingers under her chin and tipped her head up. She blinked. He held her gaze, and the look in his eyes was searching, almost imploring.
"I came here to make things right," he said.
***
Ten years after losing everything, Alina Starkov makes a journey deep into the heart of the Sikurzoi. That's where the Darkling finds her.
