She cares more about what the words whispered and weaved and waded in the time after wrote:
Laudna Bradbury had used witchcraft to murder her husband.

The curtains flutter. The door creaks on its hinges. Imogen's leg bounces under her desk.

When the Stars Go Out, I Want You Holding My Hand by lespetitesmorts

Summary
Laudna is a children's librarian who loves doing story time, but unfortunately the kids find her more scary-scary than fun-scary. So it's very rare for her to be able to do that.
Imogen runs an outdoor school where schools in Jrusar send grades of children to learn about nature and get some learning done outside of a traditional classroom. Finding someone to lead a story time with the kids has been a bit difficult, so Imogen reaches out to the local public library.
This is a modern AU, so they don't have magic per se. This is generally going to be from Laudna's perspective, with a lil Imogen sprinkled in for flavour. I'll add more tags and characters as they become relevant.

SLOWBURN SO GOOD ITS ROASTING ME ALIVE. 10/10
Ch. 33

Tags
Summary
Whenever it all got to be too much, whenever the fear and panic and denial and longing rose too high in her chest, Imogen would press her ear against the creaky floorboards of her bedroom, close her eyes to the dust under her bed, and listen to the life she was never going to have.
Or: A 1950s AU. Imogen is closeted, Laudna writes fix-its for lesbian pulps, and the city’s clandestine gay bar is right underneath Imogen’s new apartment.

Summary
“Come on, Laudna, if I hypothetically became a superhero you wouldn’t want me to tell you?” Imogen couldn’t keep the fond exasperation from her voice, because that was absurd.
“No!”
“Leaving out the obvious fact that you would absolutely be able to tell, why not?”
“Because— because it’s about the persona, the symbol,” she said, plaintive. “It’s about knowing that anyone is capable of great good if given the chance.”

People come from far and wide for a chance to see the famous heroes and villains of Jrusar. Imogen is just trying to pay her rent. A fake superhero AU.

Summary
Imogen didn’t expect that being cast in a remake of one of the most classic black-and-white romances of all time would lead to falling for her co-star. Said co-star being a dead movie star from the 1940s makes things more…complicated.
or: the imogen and laudna hotel reverie au no one asked for

Summary
Imogen can't keep sitting around chatting like this when Laudna is right there. She keeps revisiting that disbelieving, perfect moment right after the end of the ritual: when Laudna had looked up at her and with clumsy, fervent hope in her eyes told Imogen that Delilah wasn’t watching anymore.
So after all of that—if she wants to get Laudna to a room then sue her. They deserve it today. Laudna deserves it. She wants to kiss her and never stop. God, she wants to kiss her.

Summary
“Everyone said there was nothing left in the Aerie spire, that’s why I -” The woman's mouth snapped shut quickly, eyes slightly panicked as she watched Imogen for any visible reaction. When none came, she swallowed, and her next question, while hesitant, had much more quiet, hopeful curiosity. “What is this place?”
“Oh,” said Imogen, laughing a little sheepishly. The sound seemed to soothe some of the woman’s unease, her tensely coiled body unfurling ever so slightly, the knit of her eyebrows softening. Imogen, meanwhile, dropped back onto her haunches, offering the woman the post-apocalypse version of her customer service smile: something more sincere, the pull at the corners of her lips gentler, more open, the exhaustion in her eyes a desperate plea for connection. “Welcome to Starpoint Books,” she said. “My name is Imogen. What story are you lookin’ for today?”
or
a 'last bookstore on earth' au, where imogen rode out the apocalypse in the bookstore she used to work in and laudna comes looking for a soft place to land (and the rest of the hells are the store's continued, end-of-the-world customers).

Summary
“Well, there's no set plan, or one size fits all. People come here for many different reasons. Some certainly for sex, but most are looking for something different, even if they don't realize it. Intimacy takes many forms, you see, but that's not something most of us learn right away. And some never do.”
“I suppose I hadn't thought much about it.”
“You should though,” Laudna encouraged. “People are so wonderfully complex and unique. First and foremost our own selves.”
“And what are your complexities, Laudna?” Imogen asked, settling back into the couch, her rigid posture loosening a bit.
Laudna looked at her with a hint of delighted surprise. “Mine?”
Dnd adjacent, historical-ish AU. This consumed me for two weeks. Enjoy.

Summary
"Can you take her?" Keyleth blurts out, because if she doesn't ask now she'll never ask. "She needs a home. Someone who can help her understand. There's no one else I would trust."
"You know I would in a heartbeat."
But there's something in Vex's eyes, something in the weight of her words, that gives away the ranger's next words before they even leave her lips- "But you know that she already has a home."
or, i started thinking about "what if laudna grew up in whitestone in its glory" and "what if imogen had a support system that didn't give up on her when she was little" and i also wanted to write a love letter to vex and kiki AND imodna
