    Summary

    Iris doesn’t know how old she was when she first asked Hurley about her parents. She doesn’t remember it, but she knows there had to be a first time.

    There had to be, because all the characters in stories had parents: a mother and a father. 

    Iris has neither. She has a Herlock.

    Summary

    Iris’ rapid development was nothing short of both a miracle and a mystery to Herlock Sholmes.

    The milestone markers in all of the childcare books were approximations, of course – there was no precise given time for when each motor and cognitive skill would unfold, and it was normal for it to vary with each child. Sholmes had tried to chalk it up to him being extra surprised as a first-time parent… but nonetheless, everything felt so soon.

    Summary

    In many ways, taking on the role of father has been little more than a pantomime act. A mould he has haphazardly pressed himself into, but rarely has he felt the tight and ill-fitting walls of that mould more than right now, scrabbling for something to say.

    Iris must see the conflict on his face. It is the sudden tilt to her head and the concerned worry in her lip that finally pushes the words into his mouth.

    “It’s a marvelous story, my dear.” he manages at last, forcing a reassuring smile. It is not a lie. It is marvelous. Sholmes can appreciate good literature when he sees it and this, indeed, has all the hallmarks of a competent novella and would have impressed even if it had not been penned by an eight-year-old’s hand.

    Iris shows Sholmes her first manuscript.

    Summary

    The death of his wife in childbirth leaves Yuujin Mikotoba with severe depression, a mountain of guilt, and a daughter he is ill-equipped to care for. An attempt to put six thousand miles between himself and his grief doesn't work as well as he'd hoped. Maybe repeatedly putting himself in mortal peril alongside the most insufferable man in London will do the trick.

    I.e. if Capcom won't give us "TGAA: Investigations: the Prequel" I will write it myself, as self-indulgently as I want.

    Summary

    They’ve been avoiding it. This week has been nothing but forays into the past and yet that chapter—their chapter—has been left untouched, glossed over, bookmarked for later. Ten years has settled between them like an intangible weight, a glass partition, one that took shape when Sholmes first saw him in the hotel lobby two days ago, one that has followed them into train compartments and ship cabins and even into Baker Street, and one that remains here with them in the room right now, its presence uncomfortably apparent.

    As for why they’ve been dancing around it, Sholmes doesn’t know. All that they were, all that they are now—maybe it just felt too big to be squeezed between everything else. It needed its own place, somewhere separate to masked convicts and shady government dealings, somewhere safe from tampered autopsy reports and goodbyes said too soon.

    He supposes this is that place: a dim hotel room with expensive glassware and neat linens and a now forty-three-year-old Yujin Mikotoba standing before him.

    After supper, Sholmes follows Mikotoba back to his hotel.

    Summary

    Hamilton is staring at him straight on, unashamed, eyes glinting. “Alexander Hamilton, at your service. I think it be a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”
    Laurens hesitantly closes his hand around Hamilton’s and shakes, once, then withdraws. “John Laurens, at yours. And likewise, I should hope.”

    As a small, teasing smirk starts to creep over Hamilton’s face, and a fiery amusement steals into his eyes, Laurens thinks:
    This can only end badly.

    In other words, the author is a sucker for canon era Hamilton/Laurens (and isn't sorry)

    The pictures leak on a lazy off-season Sunday, in that muddled bit of midafternoon Clint never knows what to do with when he isn’t training. He curls up with Lucky on the couch and naps through the end of his whole damn life. And that, honestly, is pretty much perfect.

    Summary

    “Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”

    “Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.

    “How do you know?”

    Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.

    That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.

    “He has to know,” Andrew says.

    “Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”

    Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

    Summary

    "Uh," says Clint. "So, you said you don't want to be involved with incubus stuff and I've been trying super hard to respect that, I swear it was an accident. I didn't realize you were having a moment there."

    "What?" Bucky puts down his e-reader. "Isn't the incubus stuff about having sex?"

    "It's physical contact plus arousal," Clint explains. "Sorry, I keep thinking Steve has gone over this with you. Giving someone an orgasm is the best way for me to get a good solid hit, but I can charge up more slowly just by touching people when they're turned on. So yeah, really sorry about that, I'll try not to let it happen again. I should leave you to, um... whatever you're doing." He backs away toward the elevator.

    Bucky swallows and says, "Wait."

    Summary

    Chilchuck erupted from his bedroll in one smooth movement that carried through his body into his hand, almost as if he’d been laying awake the whole time and plotting exactly how he was going to do it; and before Palinode understood anything, he had bounced a boot very hard off her human’s head.

     

    His Dark Materials/Daemon AU.

     

    In a setting where human souls take the form of separate animals, everyone knows that dog-souls are servants or soldiers - and Laios hadn’t wanted to be either.
