    Summary

    After thirty years in space, Grace comes home to a different Earth. The only thing that remains the same is Stratt.

    She grapples with guilt. He is full of forgiveness.

    Between them, there is understanding and something warm creeping in that had no room to exist all those years ago. They have all the space for it now.

    Summary

    His face comes into focus then: hazel eyes watching her with an expression she doesn’t recognize, grey hair damp and curling.

    “That’s it,” he says. “You with me?”

    She nods, the movement slightly hindered by the hand still cupping her face. He leaves it there as he slides the other up to press two fingers to her carotid. She’s watched him perform miracles with these hands—has seen him blind cric a patient without an ounce of hesitation—but she realizes now that he is shaking.

    Or: Samira gets the happy ending she deserves.

    Summary

    “So ditch him,” comes out of his mouth before any critical thinking takes place. He holds out his hand. “Have dinner with me.”

    “What?” Emma’s eyes widen. “That’s okay, I’m—I can take the bus back home.”

    It’s clear from her tone she thinks the offer is just because her date stood her up and he feels bad. A miscommunication that must be rectified as soon as possible. Brendon doesn’t like being misunderstood.

    He lets himself look her over, take in her bare legs, her short dress, the way the straps drape over her collarbones. “Dressed like that? No you can’t.” Impatiently, he reasserts that she should take his hand.

    “Really,” she pleads, eyes wide and shining with emotion, “just go home. I’m fine.”

    “I know you are.” That’s not the point.

    It gives her pause. Two little lines appear between her eyebrows, adorably furrowed in confusion. “I—you what?”

    He softens. “I know you’re okay. I’m asking you to dinner because I want to take you to dinner.”

    Summary

    "That's a very pretty speech," Garcia says, and then she goes quiet, and Victoria watches her face do something she has seen before. The face of someone who has just decided they have a card and is deciding whether to play it. "Is that what this is about? Teaching?"

    "What else would—"

    "Or is it something else." Garcia's eyes move, briefly, to Victoria—just a flick of attention, barely two seconds yet entirely intentional—and back to McKay.

    Victoria's stomach drops.

    Summary

    The peoples of these lands share many tales, though they are all unique in their tellings. The tales tell of a lady of light who bound her light to the dark lord to hold him fast. The sun may rise, the sun may set, but ever does the lady of light hold the dark lord.

    OR—Galadriel goes to stop the Dark Lord Sauron from enacting his plan to create the One Ring. But something goes wrong and they wake 4,000 years later, well into the Third Age, awoken by none other than Gandalf and four familiar Hobbits and one handsome ranger. The road is ever winding, but where does this one lead?
