sam, marry that girl.

Story Title: hoofbeats, heartbeats
Fandom(s): Wicked (movie)
Rating: PG
Word Count: 6,070
Summary: Misunderstandings are a bitch. Or: 6,000 words of Elphaba realizing Fiyero and Feldspur were not, in fact, laughing at her that night in the forest.
Author's Notes: Canon divergence AU where the Ozdust doesn’t happen, so the status quo is still status quo-ing.

( “I’m just here to offer you a ride, Elphaba,” Fiyero sighs. His voice has dropped slightly, losing its usual silver-tongued affectation the way it had upon their first meeting. His real voice. She hasn’t decided whether to interpret it as a compliment or insult that he doesn’t keep it up around her. )

Whumptober 2024 Day 6: Regret
Rating: G
Word Count: 2,193
Summary: Created by Dark Dimension magic, the Framework is a world all its own — which means it can be portaled to like any other.

( Five minutes he’s been in this world and he’s already frustrated. It’s disconcerting to not know even the most basic of facts about his life. )

Whumptober 2024 Day 4: Hallucinations
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,788
Summary: “I’m gonna kill him.” The declaration is more growl than speech. “I’m gonna fucking kill him.”

( She’s at her wits’ end. So, she tries the only other thing she can think of. While it’s not something she wants to resort to — surely it’s not mentally healthy — it’s worked before and she’s desperate. She also can’t say she hasn’t missed him, mirage or no. )

Whumptober 2024 Day 2: Trust Issues
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,373
Summary: Robbie pays Daisy a visit after Coulson’s death.

( Robbie watches her neutrally as she storms down the hallway. At least he doesn’t pretend to not realize what she’s talking about, she’ll give him that. )

Story Title: Sometime Around Midnight
Fandom(s): Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 738
Summary: They’re two of the most dangerous people in the world, but for now, all Daisy feels is safe.

( Daisy smiles to herself. Even without a voice to accompany it, the unique vibration of Robbie Reyes shines through the white noise of all the rest. )

Story Title: shadows, sweet shadows (won’t you come for me)
Fandom(s): Ted Lasso
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 4,196
Summary: No matter how fast light travels, it finds that darkness has always gotten there first.

( She’s been carved into his ribs since she told him her name under strobing clublights and there’s no spackle or sandpaper in the world that can fill them in again. )

Story Title: Baseline
Fandom(s): Ted Lasso
Rating: PG
Word Count: 5,113
Summary: Problems are like mushrooms, she’d told Phoebe. The longer you leave them in the dark, the bigger they get. Perhaps she should’ve taken her own advice.
Author’s Notes: Spec fic written before episode 4 aired.

( If Jamie had come to her weeks, months even, after they’d broken up, contrite and honest and committed to change, she might’ve — well. She might’ve. )

Video Title: I’m Still Here
Fandom(s): Ted Lasso
Rating: G
Length: 3:13
Summary: How can they say I never change?
They’re the ones that stay the same
I’m the one now ’cause I’m still here

Story Title: The Silent Saying and Saying
Fandom(s): Once Upon a Time
Rating: G
Word Count: 5,933
Summary: She didn’t plan on falling for him. In fact, between the trauma of losing Daniel and Robin and the whole he-looks-exactly-like-her-son’s-stepfather thing, the very notion was so preposterous as to not even occur to her. And then Alice shows up, and he almost dies, and things become a little less clear.
Author’s Notes: H/t to @spartanguard on Tumblr for this most excellent tattoo headcanon, and to @queen-mabs-revenge and @bleebug who (I think) originated most of the Mama Jones headcanons in this. Might at some point write parts of the other 10-plus years they spent together, but for now this is a standalone.

( She doesn’t put the pieces together at first. )
