Summary
Well. They hadn't expected this. And God certainly hadn't, given all their talk about costs and good-byes.
As they came apart and fluttered about into the nothingness left of the universe, something caught them, swept them up. Something swirled. Something sparked.
OR
Their love is so strong that it fought back against their stupid decision.

Summary
As they were driving away, his mother turned to him from the passenger seat.
“That being said, Booker, if you aren't going to change your lifelong dream to be the youngest Head Detective in Santa Barbara history, no one on the force can know,” she said, bluntly. “You and I have both heard the stories.”
The lingering smile slipped from his face and he gripped the steering wheel tighter.
“I know, Mother.”

I just really like this journey for Carlton. My headcanon for Mona is a grumpy, but supportive, badass lesbian. -

Sherlock had thought about John, he knew it would be a difficult time for the doctor. He had never even thought to think about how hard it would be for himself.

Summary
A fix-it for the scene in the stables just after Bunker Hill. What might have happened between Sam and John (Hancock) had things gone just a teensy bit different.

"Look at me," he said softly. John pressed their foreheads together. "Look at me."

Summary
Lassie is always expecting Shawn to interrupt him while he's working. But he's definitely not expecting Shawn to be followed into the station by a creep who can't seem to take "no" for an answer.
Seeing that Shawn is uncomfortable, Lassie jumps right in to help. And maybe says a few things in the heat of the moment that he wasn't expecting to.

Summary
“Alright, explain it to me, O Angel of the Lord,” Crowley snapped. “Tell me how exactly I’ve been going too fast after six bloody millenia.”
“I wanted to take your offer!” Aziraphale exclaimed, stepping forwards. “Of course I did. But it was the wrong time, everything was wrong, and I had just given you a— a suicide pill, Crowley, and I couldn’t be the reason you stopped existing.” He blinked back the sudden flood of tears. “Please believe me. It was never my intention for my words to hurt you.”
There was a beat of stunned silence.
Then Crowley spoke. “I believe you, angel,” he said, his voice unexpectedly soft.OR: two times after 1967 that they finally went at the right speed. Chapter 1 (1977) is full of angst and yearning and UST, Chapter 2 (2027) is just self-indulgent spicy fluff.

Summary
It should have been easy enough to shrug off, once they awoke on the changelings' planet and knew none of the preceding events had taken place, but the thing about it was,
the thing was, thought Julian,
the thing:
Julian braced himself against the wall, shaking. The thing was: he saw Garak die.
