Kamiya Koshijiro returns home to find his daughter living with a redheaded stranger. (Or, if Kaoru's father survived.) Written for Ruroken Week 2016.

That extra hour or two aboard the Daydream that we all wanted at the end of the Scarlet Pimpernel book. :)

AU, ca. 1949-1950 - Actress Marguerite St. Just is signed to play the female lead in a romance film about the mysterious "Scarlet Pimpernel", an enigma who rescued innocents from concentration camps during the war. The only trouble is, she can't stand the film's financial backer...the most boring man in Europe, Sir Percy Blakeney. Percy/Marguerite

She goes to Eliza because of course she does. It was never a question, no matter what Alexander thought, but it's painfully clear he hadn't been thinking at all, or at least not about anyone other than himself.

Is the Winter Soldier back? Someone wants it to look that way. Can Sharon clear Bucky's name with Natasha's help? Who is orchestrating these attacks? Slow burn, four POVs, Bucky/Nat, Steve/Sharon. Written for BuckyNat/Staron appreciation month

After an exhausting week, Bobbi gets stuck on the date from hell. When Jemma hears the details, she takes it upon herself to defend Bobbi's honor - to the wrong guy. Oops. (Clint/Bobbi, pub AU, Oneshot)

Five AU ways Marguerite *didn't* learn the truth about her husband in the year 1792. Ranging from the really evil to the fairly cute. Implied marital activities.

The Doctor had his unofficial date with Seven of Nine all planned out... at least until Neelix, Harry Kim, and Ensign Vorik crashed his party. Voyager's misfits watch The Princess Bride.

A short story set some years after the time when events in "The Scarlet Pimpernel" take place. A Blakeney Manor scene, with no smut and not much fluff, it's a slight thing...

Yesterday she was alone, running from the pain of her past. Today she's been thrust into the galactic struggle for freedom, and she's not quite as alone as she'd thought. Jyn tries to come to terms with Cassian's secret mission on Eadu. One-shot.

They were young and dreamed of glory; now who will tell their story? [SPOILERS;Rogue One: Cassian/Jyn]

Criminals lurk in the slums, but fortunately, there are heroes...and their sidekicks. Hero AU, written for Ruroken Week 2016. New chapter: The formation of a new partnership, during Halloween.

"Come back to bed, that would be enough." she whispered to him one more time. "Yeah, okay." he said, barely there.

Uhura didn't hate Commander Spock exactly: she just didn't want him grading her comprehensive end-of-term training mission. Having the strict Vulcan looking over her shoulder seemed like the worst thing that could happen, until they crash-landed on an uncharted planetoid. A Spock/Uhura backstory trope. A sequel titled, "An Algorithm for Dating" now published.

Nyota has always done this, this push that sits him on the edge of discomfort as the necklace now sits at the hollow of her throat. Illogical to wear it, but she has never put much stock in logic, not any more than his mother did.

At a conference, Sarek is puzzled by a Starfleet admiral's incessant idiomatic language, and enlists Amanda to help him understand just what it means to "shoot the breeze" and "bite the bullet" without "getting bent out of shape."

After the battle with Shishio, Kenshin is gravely wounded and no one will know whether the morn will bring relief or grief. Hiko tries to drink away his pain, brooding about his bitter regrets in solitude. Kaoru isn't having it. (Written for Ruroken Week 2016.)

In which all good things come to an end – but that doesn't mean you can't have a happy ending. [for ruroken week 2016 on tumblr. prompt: childhood/innocence.]

His wife was very even-tempered for a human. That was until the day she told him he was going to be a father. (Fluff for the sake of fluff.)

It's not destiny if it never happened. (Or is it?) Five times Bucky and Natasha didn't meet... and one time they did.

Slight spoilers for Civil War. The Black Widow has a habit of returning men's memories with a blow to the head. It doesn't always work, but sometimes, it doesn't need to; after all, she's not exactly what James would call forgettable. Basically the product of, "You could at least recognize me," in CA3: CW combined with "cognitive recalibration" in The Avengers.

Seven years ago, Kaoru was persuaded to end her engagement to a penniless revolutionary from Kyoto.  Forced out of her home by debt and dependant on others for her livelihood, they meet again but he is now a decorated war hero.  Have the years apart changed them too much to rediscover the love they once shared?  A Rurouni Kenshin AU inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion

Daniel can only fool himself for so long: Peggy Carter is a tempest, and he's a man who was made to live inside the storm.

It's a long drive home. (Peggy, grieving in 2x02).

What goes through a mother's mind when she discovers her son has gone over to the Dark side? One-shot follow up to my (also one-shot) story, 'Angels Fall First'.

Nyota resigns herself to a winter break spent in the hospital, holidays away from her family, and a long, slow recovery from the flu.

Someday he'll get past this phase where everything reminds him of her, he's sure; he just doesn't know when. What he does know is that it clearly takes more than four weeks to get over Peggy Carter. Based on season 2 teasers.

In "The Legend Ends," Kenshin's famous red gi goes from nearly falling apart to brand knew in the space of the two last scenes. How did that happen?

On his first day as a boarder at the Kamiya Dojo, Kenshin learns what eating Kaoru's cooking will entail.

He has made this choice before. Again, and again, and always he chooses the same thing, for the same reason. But he wishes-if only they had had more time. It doesn't matter. They're out of time, he's out of miracles, but he makes his choice again. Ronnie-centric companion to Daffodils

"Why wouldn't I bother?" he asks quietly, like it's the most obvious thing in the whole entire universe, like she is more important than the air he breathes, than the ground he walks, than the water he drinks, and once upon a time she might have believed him, but not now. Not any more. (post 3x02)

He never meant to tell her like this, but he's desperate to keep her from running off and getting herself killed. And honestly, if she's got eyes, she probably already knows. One-shot.

Jack's thoughts on near kisses and actual kisses during "Death Do Us Part."

Maybe the point was that he had said nothing for so long that he couldn't say nothing any longer. Jack's thoughts during the conversation at the end of "Unnatural Habits."

Bucky isn't the Winter Soldier. (Oneshot)

Her husband rarely found himself entrenched in the emotional aspects of his work, but some cases did not allow him to form walls.

"Yeah, looks like your mom hates me just that much," Bellamy said, crossing his arms and leaning back against a post. "Delinquent janitor and her little girl in an arranged marriage thanks to a society that believes gladiator battles are civilized shows of affection. What mother wouldn't swoon?" Sequel to Going Courtin'.

Five moments from a life Ax almost lived, and one from the life he did.

Olicity Hunger Games AU where Felicity is the tribute and Oliver is her mentor. Prompt from a tumblr request. Oneshot.

"The wedding of John Diggle and Lyla Michaels started with a bang, Felicity would later reminisce. Literally." Post 3x08. Featuring Dyla and Olicity. Lots of wedding fluff. Oneshot.

The war is over. The Dominion, defeated by the combined forces of the Alliance, has retreated to the Gamma Quadrant, leaving behind a war-ravaged Alpha Quadrant. After two years of Dominion occupation, Cardassia stands on the brink of destruction. The once-strong empire needs a leader to unite the disgruntled factions. Its people need more than a man; they need a symbol. A Hero.

Felicity loves solving mysteries, and a brand new one just came in the window wearing tight green leather and carrying a ruined laptop.

Tobias, Ax, and leavetakings. For ThemeMorphs September 2014. Post-canon. May or may not be canon compliant; I don't even know anymore.

A collection of Data/Tasha ficlets.

"He swallows it as if he wears a garrotte in place of a cravat. It jams in his throat every time he must look upon the man from the better end of a rapier or down the barrel of a pistol and know that it is not a justifiable reason to kill him..." Percy considers his likeness to his greatest enemy.

A snippet. Percy saves two more souls from the bite of the blade.

It's the punch the wakes him, not Natasha breaking into his motel room or approaching his bed, not her reaching out to touch him, foolish, so foolish, her fingertips brushing against the hair that sticks to his forehead as he dreams, not even when his arm darts out and seizes her hand.

It was Tomoe who had taught him how to love, but it is Kaoru who has taught him how to live. [A series of interconnected oneshots/drabbles; ratings may vary.]

In which Hiko tries to understand with all of his brilliance just what his stupid pupil sees in this girl. [Oneshot, companion piece to chapter 7 of "Adventures In Solitude"]

On the ship, when Amanda sat on Father's shoulders she could raise her hand above her head and it would brush the ceiling of the corridors. On Earth, it's nothing but wind and air and sky. "I can't see the stars," she whispers to Father. It isn't logical to want, but Mom always says she loves Father's and Amanda's illogical parts the best. "I want to go back home."

This was not part of the plan at all. Well, not really. She didn't have a plan in the first place, but if she did, this would really not be on the checklist.

"Eutony," Nyota says. "The pleasantness of a word's sound." "Logolepsy," Spock counters. "A fascination or obsession with words." "Fascination? Sounds like someone I know."

In his dreams, Angela is still beautiful, and she speaks with Lisbon's voice. "You're being selfish and childish and I want you to stop." Patrick Jane and a jumble of memories.

Felicity may babble a lot, but in a pinch, she's got other ways of communicating. Oliver wishes he didn't find them as fascinating as he does. Or: five times Felicity Smoak doesn't babble to communicate (and one time Oliver does).

In which the Prince of Corona is suspicious of the Prince of the Southern Islands, and his suspicions are proven correct.

n. 1. a look shared by two people, each wishing that the other will offer something that they both desire but are unwilling to suggest or offer themselves; 2. that look across the table when two people are sharing an unspoken but private moment; each knows the other understands and is in agreement with what is being expressed. 3. an expressive and meaningful silence.

Dick Grayson had always had a good sense of timing. But when it came to him and Barbara, somehow the timing was always wrong.

Although she never knew it as a child, Kamiya Kaoru was taught to be great long before she knew she wanted to be just that. Her parents made sure to give her the handholds, the little wisdoms that would put her on a path that would make sure that one day she would inspire others as well.

Four times Molly Hooper looked after someone, and one time they all looked after her.

This isn't how it's supposed to happen. She's supposed to be there. To stop him, to save him, because that's who they are.

When Sanosuke and Yahiko told Kaoru that seeing her dead had upset the rurouni enough to banish himself to the slums she had had a hard time believing it. But it only took a few days after the fight with Enishi for her to start seeing the signs and realizing there was truth to what her apprentice and friend had told her. ONE SHOT.

"'It was almost ironic,' he thought, for he had been an excellent and silent tracker in the streets of Kyoto. Yet, now the former Hitokiri Battousai bumbled through the oppressing thongs of people that shoved him this way and that, and he could barely follow the bobbing auburn head of his son, Himura Kenji." A spinoff fic based off Misaki-Toyodome's The Courtship of Lady Tokio

The neighboring dojo's oldest son may become Kaoru's suitor. Kenshin contemplates what life will be like if he were to stay and if it's too late to change things. Canon. KxK. One-shot

After the events of Reichenbach, Molly gains a temporary flatmate. And he's not the easiest one to get along with.

A short and sweet story in which Kenshin starts a garden, and a family. "The farmer's orphan in him felt somewhat hurt by her comment. He paused for a few moments, unsure of how to respond. 'I was a farmer's son a long time ago. I see nothing shameful in raising one's own food.' "

Earlyfic. PreIM. Tony/Pepper. Tony mentions Pepper's phone like how one compliments a new hairstyle.

Missing scene of Jane and Lisbon's stake-out. How would these two pass the time? Why, playing silly games, of course. Fluff and silliness and Jisbon friendship. Spoilers,4x17. Rated T for mild language. No copyright infringement intended.

The rich and powerful Capitol takes what it wants. To survive the Hunger Games, you need ... leverage. May the odds be ever in your favor. Now complete!

Canon, Post-Jinchuu, Ken/Kao, one-shot. In which Yahiko asks Kaoru a question, and the latter is made aware of her ever-sharpening instincts.

Not even believing it was all a dream could dull the cruel pain of waking up. Percy/Marguerite. One Shot

Rapunzel has been acting strangely lately and Flynn is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Wicked humor, compliments of Sir Percy and Marguerite. Because it's always devilish good fun to turn the tables on Chauvelin.

Flynn had been looking forward to a carriage ride with Rapunzel, but when the day actually comes it doesn't go quite as he expected.

In order to achieve that which must be achieved, we at times will become hard as stone, wearing a mask to hide the pain. Four moments in Percy Blakeney's life.

Oneshot. It only takes her three seconds to find a mirror and pull up her shirt, and notice that her back has broken out in hives and that she is unattractively swollen. IM2 Spoilers, TS/PP

Bringing Tony lunch: an adventure fraught with peril! Well, maybe only if you're Pepper.

In the end, he thinks that she takes the news surprisingly well. She takes the stapler off of her desk, and throws it at him. She doesn't miss, either.

He had killed off characters a time or two in his novels before. And yet, this was different . . . so incredibly different.

Because Kuu wants to know when Kyouko will be his legal daughter. Because the managers have been planning this all along. Because sometimes all you need is a gentle shove. RenxKyouko. LAST CHAPTER IS UP!

He hadn't really counted on getting into a pub brawl over the color of his coat on some speck of a planet, or signing up with a crew of petty criminals. Still, he'd always wondered what really happened to those Lost Colonists from Earth...

Kenshin reflects on his life the past, present, and future, and how he ended up in the Kamiya Dojo.

Inspired by Emily Skinner's rendition of I Must Be Dreaming. Marguerite struggles with doubt even after all is well between she and her husband.

A small scene that came to me one day...my take on the afternoon that Sir Percy asked Marguerite to marry him. T for some Pimpernelrelated angsting that Percy does.
