Summary
“The Joshua Carter Center has a dedicated branch for fertility and reproductive science, with particular focus on high-risk populations and geriatric pregnancies. In fact — and you may not know this — it’s one of the highest rated fertility treatment centers in the country, with one of the highest success rates. Even in medical circles, it’s known as a bit of a Hail Mary option, and a referral here is, generally, for those patients who have hit the end of the road everywhere else.”
“And you’re…looking to refer someone in particular? Because I —”
“Yes,” she says. “Me.”
OR
Twelve years after she left without telling him, Anna Del Amico returns to Chicago and John Carter's life. Both of them are eager to catch up, but neither of them are prepared to admit that happily ever after hasn't come as easily as they'd once hoped. After hearing about the loss of Joshua, and feeling the desperation of her own failed attempts at having a child, Anna asks Carter to be her sperm donor.
This, he thinks, is a terrible idea...and yet...when has he ever let that stop him?

Summary
All things considered, the end of the world wasn’t as bad as she’d thought it would be. The plague was awful. That’s true. By now, she can admit that much without the thought crumbling her, but give it any more weight and she knows it’ll kill her more surely than any sickness.
OR
The zombies were bad, but life after everyone else dies is worse. Anna's living on the edge of survival, doing her best with a core group of County doctors to find a place they can be safe and rebuild. She thinks she finds that when she stumbles upon an old, abandoned mansion, but what's inside is scarier than any zombie. It's the saddest living boy in Chicago!

Summary
He closes his eyes, and to his relief, it’s easy. It’s the easiest thing he’s ever done.
On May 18, 2000, after being confronted with the options of rehab or getting fired, John Carter makes a different choice. It's a way worse choice. An alternate ending to May Day where Carter OD's instead.

Summary
It happens fast. Like the beat of a hummingbird’s wings which move so rapidly you can hardly see them, but your mind knows they must be there. Knows that the blur of colour, and the rush of wind, and the little body suspended in time all mean something. They coalesce in your mind to tell you that there must be wings. Even if you can’t see them.
She raises her hand. His head turns. There is a crack like thunder.
OR
Peter sees Carter's grandmother slap him, and his whole world changes.

Summary
Post-Ambush.
It's not that she thinks they're there to ambush them, but there's no reason that they won't. They want a good show. They want drama. They want vulnerability. They're waiting to expose a weakness, and Anna is not one to give anyone an opening. She's been hiding from the film crew all night, but the ER is only so big...and someone else is hiding, too.
A "what if" first meeting for Anna and Carter, and the JANUARY addition to my ongoing series.

Summary
When Robby turns, Jack is standing in the doorway, leaning against the doorframe.
Neither of them speaks. Jack is staring at him in that way– the way he looked that night, twenty fucking years ago, all unreserved heat and everything unspoken.
He pushes off the doorframe and moves forward.

Summary
His jaws are clenched tightly and his eyes are wild, glaring directly into the camera. He looks like a feral animal trapped off the street. The whites of his eyes seem to pulsate and glow around dark, dilated pupils.
Peter's breath catches in his throat. Even though it has been over a year since he last saw them, he could never forget those eyes.
Benton stares at the photograph in disbelief.
John Carter stares back.
---
