she's already ruined her makeup by deceptivelycomplex3925
Fandoms: Once Upon a Time (TV)
05 Jul 2016

Summary
"Emma," Regina breathes, a warning. Don't do this, it says. She can hear it in her head, the husky lilt of Regina's voice.
"I'm late with it, I know. I'm about five years too late with it but when have I ever been good with punctuality?"
She gets a laugh out of that, something like a sharp exhale, something choked and small and laden with fondness, and brown eyes start to glisten with forming tears. Emma hates that she's the cause for this. She'll ruin her makeup.
On her wedding day. This is her wedding day.

Was he king of the skies?An introspection of Trigger through the Lighthouse war. Written in the same style as the in-game cutscenes.

...and a partridge in a pear tree by strangehunger
Fandoms: Gideon the Ninth - Tamsyn Muir
04 Feb 2020

Summary
“Gideon,” said Palamedes with the patience of a saint, “the rules are the rules. It wouldn’t be fair if I changed them just for you. In a well ordered society—
“It’s not a well ordered society.” Gideon knew where that was going, and she certainly didn’t have the time. She slapped a slip of paper onto the counter and said, “It’s secret santa.”
And there lay the source of all of her problems: handwritten in a script so neat and precise it could have been printed, Harrowhark Nonagesimus. And everyone knew that Gideon and Harrow hated each other.
So what if they had started taking smoke breaks together? So what if Harrow had helped her fold shirts just last week, in a store she didn’t even work in? So what if Harrow had laughed as the two of them did Jagerbombs at Palamedes’ Halloween party, the glint of her fake fangs flashing invitingly in the orange party lights? They hated each other. The two of them would both work in the mall until one of them inevitably strangled the other with her bare hands, and Gideon wouldn’t have it any other way.
Except that lately, Gideon had started to like Harrow.
Which made that slip of paper a fucking problem.

To the Lighthouse: Photograph by GinFlameRebellion
Fandoms: Life is Strange (Video Game)
17 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
Chloe doesn’t remember the first time she saw Rachel. She remembers that night at The Mill, of course she does, but that wasn’t the first time she saw her. Not even close. The truth is, when it comes to the story that consumed every part of her life for three years, she doesn’t even remember the start.
But memories don’t tell stories; they are shredded images, sensations—jumbled up, turned upside-down, the pieces glued back together but never the same. A laugh in the dark, love-drunk, dripping honey. The scent of jasmine on shower-damp skin. Not stories. Never whole stories.
For three years Rachel ripped through Chloe's life like wildfire—warming, burning, all-consuming. But now that flame is gone. Rachel is missing, and all Chloe has left are memories. But which of those memories can she trust, and where does the truth really lie? In the present, or in the past?
(A parallel narrative story that shifts between the events of Life Is Strange, as told from Chloe's perspective, and Chloe's memories of the three years between Before the Storm and LIS.)
