Summary
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen an actual coffee pot before.”
Dana raised an eyebrow. “Never seen a coffee pot?”
“Like, I’ve never seen the pot itself, you know? Just, like, the espresso machines at Starbucks, Keurigs—those sort of things.”
Dana’s arched eyebrow ticked up a centimeter higher as she squinted at Emma for a long moment.
Abruptly anxious beneath her scrutiny, Emma reached for her waist to fidget with something, only to remember the charge nurse had plucked most of her belongings from her pockets on arrival. She settled with flicking her name badge between her fingers.
“Kid, are you younger than this coffee maker?”
---
Or: How Emma and Dana slowly, somewhat reluctantly, come to accept their feelings for each other.

Summary
Large, freezing fingers take hold of his hair and wrench him up, up onto trembling knees as it snarls, there, close enough to rip his throat open with its maw of borrowed teeth.
"Do not think I am not tempted, Victor!" There is no heat to its breath, as it bellows its contempt not an inch from his face. Only moisture, and rushing air, expelled to defile his name. "To bleed you. To humble you."
--
"You have denied me death, I deny you in kind. You must live, Victor."
He hates the sound of his name in its mouth. Hates it. Had only it died as intended, that he would never suffer the sound again.
"For if you will not grant me a companion, I will take you as one."

Summary
Lawrence had this unshakeable feeling that he was being watched. Whether it be in the Sistine Chapel or his very own private quarters, Lawrence would feel a set of eyes observing his every move. The surface of his nape would break out in goosebumps from time to time, cold sweat running down his forehead and tickling his cheeks.
Something inhuman appears to have infiltrated the Conclave.

Summary
Mine, Vincent remembers thinking, clear as a bell, through the haze of the exhaustion of a full day’s travel and the incoming wave of stress from knowing he’d just changed his life forever. I might never be back here again, but this one is mine, and I’m not letting go.

Summary
Cardinal Lawrence has been working himself to the bone, ensuring that Pope Innocent XIV has a smooth start to his papacy. He’s been working so hard that he’s begun to neglect himself.
Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) the Holy Father has noticed. And he’s determined to take care of Lawrence, as well as he can. In any way he can.Series

Summary
"No, it's fine," Julian said automatically. "But, Garak, is everything all right?"
"Captain Sisko wanted to see me," Garak said—which was so conspicuous a refusal to answer the question Julian had asked that it almost didn't qualify as an evasion. He pulled out the chair opposite Julian, and sat.
"Captain Sisko? Why?"
"Well, apparently," Garak said, "Cardassia has lodged a formal request with the Federation for my extradition."
(Or: Garak has a problem. Julian marries him to fix it. Except that means Julian also has a problem, albeit of a very different kind.)

Summary
"I tried," Father added, hoarse. "Tried to fix it."
Garak swallowed. It was unreasonably difficult to do it. His heart was hammering in his chest; his mind was oddly blank. He felt excruciatingly aware of Julian, unmoving, leaning against the far wall—of the weight of Julian's eyes on him. But he'd told Father they were alone. He could not tell him to stop, could offer him no excuse for failing to respond as he must expect—
"Is that what you were doing," Garak said, very softly.

Summary
Garak settles back down. He can see a sliver of Julian's skin; he's still naked. Julian's hand sneaks out through the gap, palm up. Garak takes a breath and a chance and wraps it in his own.
His thumb makes soft circles.
Julian weeps.

Summary
A fully canon compliant telling of their time on the station. They push and pull, wither and bloom, and fail to stay apart every time.
It takes them seven years to understand what kind of story they're in.
_______Year Six, Part ii
He never slept for long but when he did he dreamt of dying - of an antique bullet through the heart, of careening to the spinning earth, of a knife between the ribs. In the dreams he felt the pain of it in a way the safeties of the holoprograms didn't allow, and when he woke he was only mostly sure it wasn't real.

Summary
Koschei's name was drawn the year before hers, and he slaughtered almost half the tribute field personally, claiming the first victory for their District and becoming an overnight sensation. Media darling Caesar Flickerman had dubbed him The Master, a title that stuck, and he plays his part well, but as soon as the cameras are off, darkness always comes floating back towards the surface. He mentored Theta while his own pain was still fresh, and dismissed her as a lost cause as soon as the second name was drawn. The other tribute for District 3 that year was Koschei's friend, classmate, and neighbor, and Koschei all but told her that he would throw her to the wolves and focus the entirety of his attention on supporting her male counterpart.
That favoritism did not matter in the end. His friend died first, and Theta won the shortest games on record. Thirty-six hours, one meticulously engineered mass slaughter, and it was over.
Fifteen years have passed since then, and he still has not forgiven her.

Summary
Sometimes, Bilbo finds, not everything goes according to plan.
First an injury and the coming winter delay his leaving Erebor, then word from the Shire leaves him mourning his beloved Bag End. And because getting added to Thorin's council isn't trouble enough, Kili is in love with an elf, Fili may or may not have his eyes on a certain little scribe, everyone seems to think he is a lady hobbit, and Thorin needs to find someone to marry.
Okay. So the last part might not be trouble, exactly, except for the part where it makes Bilbo's rather hopeless attachment even more painful. Or it wouldn't if he hadn't possibly accidentally promised to provide Thorin with an heir... and Dáin just might still be scheming something.
Fortunately, if there's one thing hobbits are good at, it's growing things. And Thorin did promise him a garden.
