“Our innies got themselves pregnant,” Helena says, as if letting Devon know it’ll snow later today. “They let us out so we can get an abortion.”

Summary
Stranded together in the middle of nowhere, political rivals Galadriel and Halbrand learn they have more in common than they could've possibly imagined.
~~
Still looking outside, Mairon speaks again, almost to himself. “At least it’s not snowing.”
“Not a fan?”
“I’ve lived in the North for way too long. Could do lifetimes without that weather,” he says in a way that sounds awfully weary. Old beyond his years. Raw in a way that makes Galadriel speak before she thinks better of it.
“Yeah. I came from Valinor through the northwest passage. Had my share of snow as well,” she says, as if Helcaraxë had been just that. A walk through the tundra and a bit too much snow.
Galadriel doesn’t want to think about the Helcaraxë. She doesn’t want to think about her uncle, or the trees. She doesn’t want to think about Valinor at all.
A Middle-Earth-yet-Modern AU written for the 2024 Spring Haladriel Birthday Exchange, for lisenberry

Summary
Helena can have those small escapades, but nothing that is enough to sate her, nothing with meaning, because if it has meaning, it’ll be part of her life, and if it’s part of her life, then Lumon can touch it, twist it, take it away from her.
She daydreams, at times, of being brave. Of letting it all behind her. Of burning it all to ashes.
But without Lumon, who would she even be?
~~
4 times Helena shared vessels with someone she didn’t love and one time something else happened entirely.

Summary
Theta stood in the Academy hallway, straight and serious, staring at the double doors in front of him. A small and unremarkable sign above them read:
Temporal Exobiology
He took a deep breath—and then another. It’s just a lab. Monitors and test tubes and specimens. They can’t hurt you. Well. All those things could, in fact, hurt him, but that wasn’t what Theta meant. That wasn’t what scared him.
“Should I overtake you or do you plan to grow a gut and walk through the doors anytime before the next stellar cycle?”

Strangled By the Red String by HiNerdsItsCat (HiLarpItsCat)
Fandoms: Doctor Who, Doctor Who (2005)

Summary
Strangled By the Red String: "Two characters go through a leap of characterization all the way to a Relationship Upgrade without any of the usual in-betweens; apparently Cupid forgot to tie the Red String of Fate on the lovers' pinkies at birth, and, in a desperate attempt to save face, he ended up garroting them with it in a back alley while he thought the audience wasn't paying attention."
After someone decides to deal with two problems at once, the Doctor and Master's final confrontation on Gallifrey goes bewilderingly off the rails.
It feels impossible. It is impossible. But when something feels this perfect, why would they ever want it to stop?

Summary
“Can cranes drown?” you had asked. And you’d worried for a moment that asking had been wrong, because Daddy stared at you with eyes like scalpels between bites of sweet melon until the water stilled.
“Oh, yes,” he told you. “If it breathes air, it can drown. Never, ever forget that, Helena.”
Helly is a person. So is Helena.
Only one of them truly believes that.Bookmarked by ichabodcranemills
