After Edward’s proposal, Elinor finds her happiness reaches new heights.

The Crofts never came to Kellynch-hall as tenants, and so Frederick Wentworth never returned to the neighbourhood in the year fourteen. A decade and a half later, when his brother is appointed to the living at Uppercross, he and Anne finally meet again.

If she thinks back, Ramona can remember so clearly the first time she saw Destiny on the roof, shivering and asking for a light. It was instinct to wrap her up in her fur, to want to keep her warm and teach her how to thrive in this life, not just survive.

There were nights where Ramona would sit with a client, looking over at Destiny and taking in how she worked. The tilted head, the wide eyed innocent look she’d give them before biting her bottom lip, giving the customer just a hint of what she could do for them. Selling a fantasy that all powerful men think they can buy.

Destiny was damn good at it. She even got Ramona.

Mabel Mora and three holiday seasons with Theo Dimas.

His first thought is to try Duolingo, which Nile praises as the end-all-be-all to language learning, but Nicky gets annoyed with the little cartoon owl within the first few days, and he hates the fixation on random words. Why does Duolingo believe so strongly that Nicky needs to know how to say “garage door” in Arabic? Nicky doesn’t even have a garage.

Or: modern AU Nicky learns Arabic for his boyfriend Joe.

Crowley gets reinstated as an angel.

“Fuck off, shut up. What I mean is—I want it to look right, you know?” He looks at his hands, his feet, then over at Taika where he’s folded up in the chair from Hell like fucking origami. He looks at him, and for a split second Taika can see someone else behind his eyes.

Ah, Taika thinks. Yeah, that does kind of make sense.

With Miss Fisher away on a cruise, it falls to Dot and Jane to investigate the disappearance of a missing housemaid.

It happens on an otherwise incredibly boring day, when John’s checking out an auxiliary med lab with Doc Keller and her team. He’s leaning up against a convenient wall waiting for something interesting to happen, so when Keller calls his name, he straightens and does his best to pretend he’s not half-asleep.

“Yeah?” John says.

It’s not the uniform, Jennifer’s sure of that.

Spock didn’t wait for a greeting as he entered Nyota’s quarters. “I have searched the database for your previous reference. Those records which I found were not illuminating.”

She closed the door and turned. “My previous reference? Spock, considering how you remember details, that might be anything.”

Theirs is a friendship of intellectual compatibility, mutual respect, and - at least on her part - a feeling of safety. Not that Lieutenant Uhura is not thoroughly capable of fending off unwanted advances (and not that Starfleet Academy has an abundance of sexual predators) but, as she told him one evening, approximately four months into their acquaintance, “You’re just about the only guy I know who doesn’t try to hit on me or stare at my body. Including professors. Well,” she says casually stripping off her uniform top and poking around her dresser drawers for what he assumes is a more casual shirt, “There’s Larry in physics, gay, and Fred in xenobotany, also gay, and Carl from the choral group, whose species doesn’t … but you get the picture.”
