Real People by thegoodbutter

Summary
Summer made the debacle easier to forget, all the parties and the heat. In the two months it’s steeped, the interaction dwindled down to nothing more than another funny story she can overdramatize to strangers. Sometimes, on dates and more often, at parties.
She opens it up with, “This famous actor once offered to propose to me, but, like, not really.”
Or: Aleksander Morozov played Mr. Darcy in a movie.

Summary
“Relax your hands,” he said, low and patient. Frustrated, she forced herself to comply. The mare snorted and tossed her head, but her steps slowed. “Good.”
Saints, it was lucky her cheeks were already so red; it meant he couldn’t see the way he made her blush. He was talking to the horse as much as he was to her and she knew that, but it didn’t matter. The word was as heavy as a physical touch. She shivered, embarrassed and unnerved by her reaction.
“General—”
“Aleksander,” he corrected, still in that same low voice. Sobha’s ears flickered, chasing the sound. “Just relax. You’re tense, and it’s making Sobha nervous.”
Or: Alina rides a horse, and then something else entirely.
(The Darkling. She rides the Darkling.)

Summary
At first Alina is vehemently against it. Argues that she doesn't need that kind of help, that between her and Mal they can figure it out, that it would make her relationship with Mal come into question, that it would be cheating.
Balks at the idea of hiring an escort, a stranger, to see her through a heat. All for the purpose of showing her exactly how she's failing to be a proper omega during her heats and causing her alpha to turn from her the second her pheromones aren't compelling him to act a certain way.
The thought that she might not be good enough is a dull knife lodged between her ribs. A constant ache that whittles away at her confidence as an omega and a partner and a woman.
But.

Summary
It’s been ten years since Sankta Alina vanquished the Fold and defeated the Darkling; ten years since those involved decided to never speak about it again.
Somehow, a relatively unknown documentarian has managed to secure an exclusive, tell-all interview. It’s safe to say that this exposé will be the biggest release of the year—perhaps even the biggest release of the century.
Or: Alina and Aleksander are about to spill some serious tea.

Summary
"And now you’ve moved onto more grown-up books, huh? Don’t be embarrassed," Aleksander grins at her, and the flash of his teeth is wicked. "Why don’t you tell me your favourite part?"
"Aleksander," she says, exasperated. "It’s—it’s basically porn; it’s not like I have some great literary analysis for you—"
"—No?" he interrupts. "You don’t have a favourite part of sex?"
Or: Alina's reading time is interrupted by her older brother's best friend, Aleksander. It's been years since she's seen him — most things have changed, but her feelings haven't.

The Doctor and Mrs. Smith by catlike

Summary
“So, what do you say, Miss Oswald?” the Doctor asks, and he’s got that look in his eyes again, half-mischief, half-madness, all magic. “Fancy becoming Mrs. Smith?”
“Is this a proposal, Doctor?”
“’Course it is. That’s why I’ve got a ring.”
Filler scenes for the The Crimson Horror, the episode where the Doctor and Clara pretend to be married, because it’s a crying shame we only got five minutes of those two being giddy, fake-married idiots.

Summary
Alina knew every part of Aleksander was an amplifier, she felt it in his touch, as if it seeped below the surface of her skin. So she should have known this would be extraordinary. But you couldn’t know a sensation like this, not without having experienced it.
And when you did, it was easy to become addicted…
Or: As a living amplifier, Aleksander's blood and bones naturally amplify the power of any Grisha he is touching. It stands to reason that other body fluids might have the same effect, no?Bookmarked by nessalk

Summary
She bites her lip, feeling her soulmate mark burn on her ribs. The same damned mark, which gives her only heartache and suffering. She won't think about it now. And yet, a persistent reminder that even her soulmate doesn't need her, that she is an extra element, a hindrance, nothing more, pops up in her mind. Black bindweed of words — cruel and cold.
Go away.
