First Breath by piperholmes reviews
She watched as her husband laid eyes on his son, watched as his mouth opened slightly in awe, watched as his free hand moved to hover protectively over the tiny child and finally tentatively stroke a ruddy cheek with his finger. A family moment.

Say You Will Save Me reviews
This is from an idea thrown about on tumblr yesterday that in my impatience in waiting for someone else to write, I had a go at myself. AU. Tom and Sybil are not caught prior to their elopement - how do both they and the family react to their sudden marriage, undertaken with such secrecy? Excuse the slightly indulgent title - bit snappier than my usual!

I'll Keep You Warm reviews
Modern AU, so something a bit different from me Snippets of Tom and Sybil's life together - likely pretty fluffy! Massively out of order with the timeline I intended but I will sort that later! Hope you like it. LP. x P.S. When selecting the characters I nearly got 'S.O'Brien' by accident - now that would be an unexpected story!

A Lover of the Light reviews
My Christmas fanfic contribution. AU from the 2011 CS. Was originally meant to be all Christmas themed, but now is their day to day life - AU but not modern day.

*Contains very minimal S3 spoilers* A selection of snippets telling the same story. A personal tragedy allows Sybil to reconcile with and find comfort in her mother. An alternate S3 path to my other story.
