Summary
After escaping to Paris, Lara begins a new life - first with Tonia and then later joined by Yurii - and for a time, she finds an uneasy peace. And then she comes across a phantom in the marketplace.
This is part of an AU in which the main quartet all survive and end up in Paris at the same time (eventually - arrivals are staggered). It's part fix-it fic, part an excuse to have the conversations that never got to happen.

Summary
In the wake of the loss of Evan, Naomi Herne has attempted to move on with her life, only to be dogged at every step by both her own past, and that of her fiancé.
There is also the small matter of the dreams that have begun cropping up - not every night, but enough to put her on edge - and the fact that there is only so far therapy can take you when you suspect you’re being haunted in some way.

Summary
Melanie is grateful to Jon three times.
The first, for coming back at all. Not that she missed him, not that she’s glad he’s not dead. But the last few months in the Institute have felt hollow and it’s a sickening relief to have a target for her anger again.
The second, for asking to remove the bullet, and allowing her to refuse. This is a more complicated gratitude, because she doesn’t want it. But she can’t bring herself to wish he’d kept this meagre measure of control, of choice, from her. So she is grateful, and she hates it.
The third, for being the obvious monster everyone has their eye on, so they never think to ask about the blood under her nail, don’t wonder when she slips out the door of the archives with a knife in hand. Maybe she should feel guiltier for letting Jon take the fall, knowing full well that everyone involved in their little intervention has at least as much blood on their hands. But she still hates him just enough to be able to swallow down the guilt, so she lets Basira threaten him and swears that she won’t let any of her victims make it back to the Institute with their stories.

Summary
It had started with a sudden, inexplicable rush of dread. One second Rey had been focused on her robot opponent, deep in the midst of another routine training session. The next she had found herself curled up in a ball, shaking, tears in her eyes. Like an unexpected wave had swept over her with no warning, like she’d lost her footing in the sea and slipped under. There one second, gone the next.
That night she’d had the dream.In which Rey learns that sometimes, what is dead should stay dead, no matter how much it might hurt.

Bookmarker's Notes
Really cool piece - I don't know how it'll continue yet, but I really like this first part. Something about it reminds me of this one scene in a film that I can't remember the name of, but point is, that it's a really nice piece of horror writing.

Summary
Napoleon draws the bottle free from her grip and swallows down his own drink. It’s practically obscene the way he seals his lips around the bottle and Gaby rolls her eyes at his theatrics, dragging her fingers along the back of Illya’s head, letting him lean his forehead close to her sternum. Napoleon puts the bottle down and steps up to the couch, his hand moving around her middle. “Now, Gaby.” His boyish charm oozes into his words. “Accept his apology.”
She scoffs and pulls no punches with Napoleon, “Where is your apology? Hm? As I recall you are the one who left me in the building.”
Illya growls softly and his grip on her dress tightens. Gaby smooths her hand along the back of his head and then down to the slope of his neck, kneading the skin there for a moment to calm the Russian bear.

I initially found this on tumblr and loved it - turns out there's a lot more to it now that I'll have to read now, but I personally love this concept.
