Summary
Mairéad chopped the head off a salmon so hard that tiny shards of bone pinged off the counter. "Boys, will ye listen to yourselves? He's just trying to make some money for the summer holidays."
Conor shot a glare across at Gavin Madigan, who was handing a box of cream cakes to a customer and so did not notice. "Naw, Mam. He's up to something."
Jock grunted in agreement. "Yah. Something evil, probably."

Summary
When Heaven demands a scapegoat for the failed Armageddon, Aziraphale is forced to Fall—not for wickedness, but for compassion. What returns is not a demon of Hell, but a creature forged by Heaven’s fear and spite: sharp, quiet, unbearably kind in the wrong ways.
Crowley knows what Falling costs. Watching Aziraphale unravel into something forbidden feels like losing him twice.
With both Heaven and Hell hunting their newest anomaly, the two must navigate an escalating celestial war, unspoken devotion, and the terrifying possibility that Aziraphale’s newfound freedom might consume them both.Bookmarked by swallowswift

Summary
“Captain,” Tintin interrupted, his voice raw, trembling with urgency. His chest heaved with heavy breaths, his resolve hardening as Haddock’s piercing blue eyes met his.
“Aye?” Haddock’s tone softened slightly, sensing the desperation beneath Tintin’s words. The storm might have raged around them, but Tintin’s voice carried more weight than any gale.
Tintin swallowed hard, his words spilling out before fear could silence them. “Let’s make a deal.”
Haddock blinked, startled. “A deal? What the devil are you on about, lad? This is hardly the time—”
“Captain,” Tintin cut him off again, gripping Haddock’s arm tightly. “If I tell you a truth—one I’ve never told anyone—will you tell me how you really feel?”Bookmarked by swallowswift

Miles To Go, But We're Almost Home by JDylah_da_Kyllah for its_like_a_fever, Demerite

27 Jun 2026

Summary
Wherein Paul wrestles with exactly what he feels for Kat, torn and terrified of losing the man whom he knows as no other: the one good thing to come out of the war.
OR: "I've been burning all my daylight running;
even midnight caught fire.
Only way I ever learned how.
(. . . )
If you lie awake
while your universe shakes,
and I go weightless and fall–
claws out for you now–
just hold onto yourself–We're almost home,
but we've got miles to go.Miles to go,
but we're almost home."~~~
Addendum: Now an accidental, indefinite short-story collection / dumping ground for my thoughts and feelings re: the book All Quiet, but mostly Paul and Kat. Expect stories, fanart(?), historical inaccuracies, canon divergence and goodness-knows-what-else.
NOTES:
Despite the tags, none of this is salaciously explicit, although the subject of sexuality is dealt with frankly here (as is all else in the book).Prompts / requests welcome!

Summary
“What is this?” Merlin slurred, half asleep, half expecting Arthur not to hear.
“What is what?” Arthur breathed.
And Merlin wanted to say: What is lying with each other in this silence? Amidst the narrowest pass of the white mountains. On a blanket of twigs and moss made just for us. In a glade that feels like home. Committing your breath on my neck to memory. So tired. So tired of pretending.
“It doesn’t matter,” Merlin sighed.
They were walking a line, a fraying tightrope whose threads were about to snap.

Summary
“You must find the person Arthur truly loves,” the Dragon says, and this time it’s Merlin who wants to laugh.
“Arthur doesn’t love anyone, not since Gwen,” he says, certain of it.
The air rumbles with the Dragon’s laughter. “It seems you do not know your prince quite as well as you thought, young warlock.”

Summary
Hank has stopped thinking about his place in the world for a long time. Old, washed-up cops don’t live exciting lives. He just does what he always does: cracks cases, drinks whiskey, and goes home to Sumo.
But then the android sent by CyberLife shows up – disarmingly curious, intentionally uprooting all the familiar aspects of Hank’s life, and he jumps headfirst into an android revolution. Barrels into cases like an unstoppable storm.
Halfway through, Hank realizes he’s no longer at the sidelines of his life.
And that Connor makes it better. All of it.
[Or alternatively: an episodic glimpse into the life of Hank Anderson and his partner Connor. Takes place after the revolution, happy ending included.]
