( “This was dumb as hell,” Mary tells everyone in the car, which includes Will (driving), Lizzie (passenger’s seat, calling the hospital), Jane (backseat, still in her wedding dress), and Lydia (backseat, in labor). “Why did you let Mum blackmail you into getting married so close to Lydia’s due date?” )

( The first day of Michaelmas term, Mary wakes up early, pours coffee down her throat, and has begun her reading for her clinical course by 9am, listening to the entire body of work of Metric to get her into the mood of studying for 18 hours of every day. )

Story: i’ll write you harmony in c

Summary: “Mum, the fact that Lydia was the first of us to end up barefoot and pregnant is honestly a source of continual surprise to me.” // As it turns out, Mary Bennet’s internal checklist to Being a Good Person-go to medical school; join Médecins Sans Frontières; save lives-is a somewhat oversimplification of ( Read more... )

Story: cinder over everything

Summary: It’s not about the sex. (But. Um, the sex is really good.)

Notes: The affair of David Nolan and Mary Margaret Blanchard. This takes place between “7:15 AM” and “Skin Deep.” It’s not necessarily canon that they fuck like bunnies over that period, but really, when you look at each other like that, where else are ( Read more... )

Title: shake it like a ladder to the sun

Summary: Mary Margaret Swan doesn’t age, talks to birds, and bakes pies that make people do what she wants. She wins Awesomest Mother of the Year, like, hands down, every time. // Or, Geppetto finishes the chest on time, and Life happens to Emma and Mary Margaret Swan.

Notes: Right. So. Um, I wrote this little ( Read more... )

Story: makes me feel like a madman on the run

Summary: Snow wears the engagement ring around her neck as a pendant for all of her childhood.

Notes: Alternative summary: Snow and Charming are always endgame.

So, this is really AU masquerading as currently canon-compliant by the skin of its teeth, and halfway through I couldn’t decide if I wanted it to ( Read more... )

Story: dripping with alchemy

Summary: Mary Margaret Blanchard and Liam Whale have exactly two dates. The first doesn’t count as a date, because Mary Margaret has some standards, and two orgasms against a parked car do not count. Ever.

Notes: I have so many feelings about Snow and James. So many feelings, that I tried to write about Mary Margaret and ( Read more... )

Story: go on

Summary: Charlotte Xavier is, often, a hypocrite. // He sees Charlotte’s face, frowning as she touches the lower curve of her lip-there is a moment where the figure in the mirror trembles and shifts, the hair shortens, the face broadens, and there is the Charlotte who might’ve been Charles, attended Baliol, said chap, not have faced a ( Read more... )

(part i)
( Fall in Gotham Heights is much prettier than fall anywhere else in the city, mostly because only the residents of Gotham Heights can afford gardeners, and Chloe takes the time to appreciate the rare sight. It’s a little after ten, and the old-fashioned lampposts give off glows like regularly spaced fireflies, lining pavement that is actually tended-to and trees that are trimmed and loved. )

Summary: AU // Chloe Sullivan might as well have a sign taped to her forehead that reads TALK TO ME IF YOU HAVE A TIGHTS FETISH AND NEED SOMEONE TO HACK THE NSA.

Notes: An answer to the question, What would change in Chloe’s life if she left Smallville before Shit Got Weird? And the answer, as it turns out, is, Not fucking much. Lois was a joy to ( Read more... )
