A snapshot of some of the Fellowship's darkest moments — war, captivity, helplessness — and the things that point them back toward the dawn.

"How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand...there is no going back?" The Hobbits begin their new lives in the Shire after the War of the Ring. But though the war is over, the nightmares persist.

The Three Hunters meet the Riders of Rohan in time to join their ambush against the Uruk-hai — and to rescue two Hobbits who have had enough of Orcs to last a lifetime.

A collapsing building is just part of the job. Being buried beneath the rubble was never part of the bargain.

Barry's inability to escape from Zoom's lair sets in motion a chain of events on two earths. (Season 2 AU)

"When Barry was in the coma for the first time, Iris had to face who she was without Barry Allen. When he walked into the Speed Force and died, she discovered it. Now, with his body on the recovery table for three months, she's not sure who she's supposed to be." Six months after the fall of Savitar, Barry is rescued from the Speed Force, but not all goes according to plan.

A month and a half after HR's death, after Caitlin's disappearance, after Barry Allen's memorial service-Cisco isn't sure he can carry the new life that's been dropped onto his shoulders. (Post season three)

Caitlin Snow did not expect to become a widow so soon. Neither did Iris West. (Pure speculation for the season 3 finale, and a long-overdue conversation between our leading ladies.)

"You kidnapped me just so you could have me build you some tech? Who are you, Leonard Snart?" "I don't need any tech, Cisco," said Frost with a sweet smile. "I want you to build me a suit." (Post-3x18, speculation fic)

(n.) a circular or spiral course. In the aftermath of Savitar's return, Iris reflects. (Spoilers through 3x15)

When STAR Labs is sabotaged by an invisible opponent, Iris and Caitlin are trapped in quarantine with a deadly nerve toxin. Faced with buried secrets, government interference, and a string of calculated murders, the entire team must work together to catch the killer and beat the clock. (Based on the 1990 episode "Sight Unseen.")

Jay Garrick wears the face of a dead man. He's never forgotten that, and he doubts he ever will, not when he keeps getting drawn back to the earth he doesn't belong to, the people he doesn't belong with. The man they see in his face has been dead for four months. He is not Henry Allen. But sometimes, in the haze of fever, Barry needs him to be. (One-shot)

Why the Flash needs a car, Iris can't be sure. But there he is, leaning against a battered old truck outside of Picture News, with the passenger door open beside him and a goofy grin on his face.

Sealed away in General Eiling's facility, Caitlin faces the aftermath of her and Barry's botched rescue attempt. With each passing minute, chances of escape grow slimmer, and the threat of Killer Frost continues its steady advance. (Threequel to "Calamity Will Strike" and "Collapse Will Follow")

"Barry's shot, Caitlin. What are you proposing? That we break him out of the hospital?" (Killerflashvibe friendship, fluff, hurt/comfort. One shot.)

One month. One month since the warehouse, since Barry, Caitlin, and Cisco escaped from a kidnapping which left them battered and unsteady. Just when it looks like things may be back to normal, an old threat resurfaces to pick up the pieces of Jason's work. The wheel continues to spin. The nightmare, it seems, is only just beginning. (Sequel to "Calamity Will Strike")

"I just don't think there's anything we can do right now." The words close the case; end the conversation; erase Caitlin from the list of solvable problems. But, with one of his best friends in the hands of a proven psychopath, Cisco can't let it go. So, he does the only thing he can do: he vibes. (One-shot, post-episode 2x18, through episode 2x22)

An attack on STAR Labs leaves the team vulnerable, taken captive by people who will do whatever it takes to eradicate metahumans. Targeted for their involvement in the particle accelerator explosion, Caitlin, Cisco, and Barry are forced wait for rescue or chance of escape. But hell waits for no man and no meta. Monsters create monsters, and they are fast emerging from the dark.

Inspired by the tumblr post, "Imagine Cisco getting nabbed by a villain and they want him to call the flash and he has to explain why he's saved in his phone as 'Bae.'" Cisco is kidnapped and held as ransom for the Flash, who he has yet to confess his feelings for. Things get awkward fast. (pre-relationship flashvibe, one-shot)

"There are literally hundreds of thousands of people in Central City, and out of everyone you could've picked to rob, you picked me." After giving up his speed to Zoom, Barry is held up again. A mugging isn't quite so fun without superpowers. (Post-2x18)

The fallout from Zoom's identity reveal sends a shockwave through the team, leaving in its wake remnants of fear, terror, and crushing sadness. On top of it all, Barry hears the whispers of V9. He has tasted true speed-and now it is calling him back. (Sequel to my one-shot "Aspic of the World," in which Trajectory injects Barry with the V9 instead of herself.)

After Zoom crashes through the West household, dragging Henry Allen with him, Joe West pictures the worst. He cannot lose his son, but he also knows his son also cannot a father. Panicked, Joe, Iris, Caitlin, and Cisco race to the scene of the crime. Set immediately after 2x22 "Invincible."

Two days after Zoom's attack which left Barry paralyzed and Team Flash shaken, another meta with the ability harness nightmare energy takes advantage of their vulnerability to exact his revenge. Isolated, trapped, and hunted within STAR, the team is forced to confront their worst fears as they scramble for survival. (Set between 2x06 and 2x07, canon compliant)

In their final confrontation, Trajectory doesn't inject herself with the last batch of V9. Instead, she injects Barry. (Episode tag 2x16 "Trajectory," one-shot)

Felicity visits Barry when she finds out he has been paralyzed; mere weeks later, he does the same for her. (One-shot, slight AU)

The days between the particle accelerator and Barry's transfer to the lab are silent, broken-but perhaps the arrival of a certain comatose stranger is the spark that can help them put the pieces of their shattered world back together.

7: Killer Frost and Dr. Light survey the city that's under their thumb. (Linda/Caitlin)

In the original timeline, Iris West watches a tsunami overtake her city and Caitlin Snow discovers the dead body of one of her best friends. But with Mark Mardon on the loose and Eobard Thawne's mysterious disappearance looming over them, nothing is quite as it seems-and their story is nowhere near finished.

Caitlin, Jay, and Joe wait on the other side of the breach-but they have no idea what to expect when their friends return.

Caitlin listens to Barry sacrifice himself to the Trickster and Weather Wizard, and she is there when he comes limping home-as she always is. (Missing scene to 2x09 "Running to Stand Still," hurt/comfort, team as family or light Snowbarry, depending on how you read it.)

Three members of Team Flash walk into a bar. Unsurprisingly, things quickly go south. (Or: Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon finally get Barry Allen drunk.)

Seven years of birthdays. Seven years of happiness, heartbreak, and everything in between. In Caitlin's opinion, there is no such thing as a normal birthday since the particle accelerator exploded. A look into the lives of Team Flash-the joy and the pain-as told on the same day each year. (One-shot)

While Barry's life hangs by a thread, Cisco deals with the fallout from Zoom's attack. (One-shot, missing scene from 2x06 "Enter Zoom")

After Barry's heart is restarted, Joe drives him back to STAR. (Missing scene from 1x18: "All Star Team Up")

In one universe, Barry Allen faces the aftermath of his time at the hands of General Eiling. In another, Cisco Ramon gets a vibe. (Follow-up/companion piece to "One Second," one-shot)

"Since learning about time travel, Barry had been thinking a lot about parallel universes. Just as he blacked out, he was decided: this was, definitively, the worse one." (Alternate ending for "Fallout," whump, kidnapping, timeline fun)

Ever since finding out the extent of his powers, Barry's had nightmares. He's alone in a garden of statues; he's gone too fast, and this place is his home now, the split second between a hummingbird's wings. (One-shot drabble, spoilers through 1x16)

No matter what state he's in, Barry runs home. On occasion, however, he needs someone to run to him. (One-shot, missing scenes, Barry whump, and a boat-load of angst)

If they can make it through the night, they know things will be okay. In the aftermath of the Chitauri attack, the Avengers return to Stark Tower to lick their wounds and find comfort in each other. One-shot, open ships, team as a family.

"Ron and Hermione were looking at him almost cautiously, as though scared of him." When Harry returns from the graveyard at the end of Goblet of Fire, Ron suspects his best friend will never be the same. Missing scene/alternate POV from the aftermath of Harry's ordeal in the Third Task. One-shot.

"All of my knowledge and I can't save him." Bones sleeps, and Bones dreams. The nightmares don't get any easier now that it's Jim Kirk in the hospital bed. (STID-verse, post-revival. Spoilers for STID and The Final Frontier. Trio friendship, possible prelude to "It Goes On." One-shot.)

As if carrying a bunch of stuffy delegates across the galaxy wasn't enough, the Enterprise is stalked by a mysterious enemy ship. Meanwhile, Spock confronts his human side, and someone on board the Enterprise has murder in mind. A reboot of classic murder mystery episode "Journey to Babel." (established S/U, rated for whump and language) COMPLETE.

Jim drags his crew to his favorite bar for shore leave, but things go sour when a stranger refuses to leave Uhura alone. Maybe Jim should have stayed out of this one. (One-shot. Jim/Uhura friendship, protective crew family, and a dash of Jim whump)

"Because that's what she did, Uhura mused—she hulled the Vulcan's outer shell piece by piece, layer by layer, with every interaction. She mined, chiseled away, painstakingly working to reach the precious slivers of human in his eyes." Uhura helps Spock out of his suit following the Nibiru incident. Spock/Uhura fluff, one-shot.

In the end, the tribble died. (Post-ST:ID. Angst, hurt!Jim, and trio friendship. COMPLETE)

In another circumstance, Khan does not relent in his torment of one James Kirk. And in that circumstance, James Kirk is not sure he can make peace with giving his life for his ship. Jim/Spock friendship (or pre-slash, if you read it that way). Extended scene from ST:ID, slight AU. Jim whump. Major spoilers, rated T for brief language and violence. COMPLETE.

A series of one-shots documenting characters' letters to their eleven year old selves. Chapter One: Dear Hermione

The shock blanket was probably necessary, but it couldn't protect him from the years that would follow the falling and the blood. One-shot, prelude to a reunion.
