Summary
Sauron has been defeated. Faramir, though deeply grieving his fallen brother and fellow rangers, is determined to help Minas Tirith become a light of freedom and prosperity. He works hard to lay the groundwork for that end in a war-torn city full of refugees and fear as well as hope. Fortunately, he has the help of friends new and old, included amongst them his beloved, Eowyn of Rohan, and his lost brother’s beloved, Nessanie the minstrel (and financier).
Aragorn is leading his armies back from the Black Gate whilst trying to learn how to be the King of a land that isn’t sure it really needs one. He knows that his greatest ally is the young Steward he saved from the Black Breath, but not all of his long-time followers amongst the northern Dunedain are so convinced.
One of them is Ethiron, the spymaster of the northern Dunedain, who was left behind in the White City. But it doesn’t take the perceptive Ethiron long to realize that Aragorn is entirely right about Faramir. Faramir is not only on Aragorn’s side, but the best ally the new King could possibly have. Now, if only Ethiron can keep Faramir from getting himself killed before Aragorn can even be crowned!

He hadn’t known that Alice had even talked to Mark since she came back to London, with her new identity and her stories of places John hadn’t been there to share with her, her descriptions of empty deserts rife with stars as if the firmament had blossomed cold from seeds of dust. He hadn’t known, in that moment when he realized how much he’d truly missed her, when he finally let himself reach for her, that she would want to share this.

A little Christmas story.
I have often wondered what if things had been just a little bit different. What if Bill had not been sent to procure Sookie but in reality he was just a normal average vampire, struggling against the situation he had found himself in and attempting to exist the best he could, just mainstreaming and minding his own business.
How different would things be then?
No copyright infringement is intended. Kudos go to Alan Ball, HBO and Charlaine Harris and to Stephen and Anna for bringing to life characters that have become so very dear to our hearts.
Merry Christmas to all.

Based around this prompt: Loki is the youngest researcher in his lab, and the other scientists look down on him because of that and because he's shy/anti-social. They think he's weird, assume he has no friends, and mock him about getting a date for Fancy Work Event. But the joke's on them when he shows up (after some cajoling from his husband or fiancée) on the arm of a tall, blond adonis* that seems to get along with everyone yet is clearly devoted to him. And he's (Loki) friends with their boss, Tony Stark?

Holy Water and Hellfire rain from the sky.Aziraphale has been ordered to hunt down his ancient enemy. At long last, he has the demon cornered.
The end of the world has come.
And all that remains is for each angel to fulfill his purpose...
____
Armageddon happens. Humanity is dead and the Second Holy War is winding to a close, even Heaven and Hell's forces seemingly being totally destroyed, as Hellfire and Holy Water combine in a storm that engulfs the whole world. Aziraphale was tasked to hunt down and kill Crowley, who ran to the furthest part of the world, and now they're trapped in small caverns in a crumbling mountain as the storm surge moves in on them both, as they're separated only by a wall of rock. They have a despairing and defeated conversation through it, heartbreaking as Aziraphale sticks to the Party Line almost til the very end. Only realizing his True "purpose" when he hears Crowley about to die on the other side, and decides he can't NOT protect something he loves. Dramatic as all hell, kind of terrifying, but also so loving, with a happy and satisfying resolution.> Aziraphale's Purpose by Lady of Prompts (Aethelflaed)

Summary
There's no logical explanation for it really.
One second, Jun is holding the prettiest Siamese cat he's ever seen in his hands and about to hand the wounded animal to its owner.
The next second, he watches rather numbly as the creature's skin ripples like water and then the bones snap this way and that way as the entire form grows bigger and bigger.
It quickly becomes a problem as Jun is still holding the cat. Except it's not a cat anymore. Its fur retracts and the bones and ligaments stretch into long limbs and smooth tan skin and there's a full sized man in his arms. The sudden change in weight and Jun's own sheer fucking panic at what he just witnessed sends them flying to the floor, knocking several things off the coffee table in the process.
~*~
Wen Junhui's thoughts on magic? None, really. At least not until his life turns into a very weird version of the Princess and the Frog. Then, it's really the only explanation he can find that doesn't run a risk of quite literally making him lose his mind.

Summary
How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.
The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence.
Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?Series

Bookmarker's Notes
“I guess we’re both fucked up, huh?” he says wryly.
“For what it’s worth, dumbass,” Tommy tells him, “I’m glad you’re not dead.”
(Wilbur’s smile tells him it’s worth a hell of a lot.)
“I’m glad you’re not dead, too,” Wilbur replies. Then he sobers, regarding Tommy seriously, almost fiercely. “If you ever feel that way again, Tommy, you tell me, okay? I’m signing up for this, got that? You won’t have to go through that alone again.”
And Tommy? Tommy is definitely not blinking hard to push back tears. The stinging in his eyes is just dust or something, obviously. Big men don’t cry.
“Neither will you,” he croaks, and holds up a hand towards Wilbur, pinky extended. Wilbur hooks it with his own, and they shake.
Tommy thinks, just maybe, Wilbur might be one of his corner pieces.

Summary
After OIF, Nate cut his ties to his former platoon. None of the men needed a sentimental ex-officer lingering around.
Still… his relationships had meant something, and one relationship — one connection — in particular Nate couldn’t just give up. When he used that thin strand of magic his grandfather had imparted to him and touched his dreams to Brad’s, he was secure in the assurance that the intrusion would never be noticed.
When he ran into Brad, eight years later at a conference for work, Nate was blindsided by the realization that his ‘subtle’ overwatch hadn’t been as subtle as he thought.
Or as one sided.

He sees the want in Namjoon’s eyes, swirling with conflict, and Jungkook doesn’t understand how Namjoon could want him this bad, so heartbreakingly bad -
And still not want him at all.
“Let’s get back to the party, hyung. Your fiance must be looking for you."

Bookmarker's Notes
a goddamn masterpiece. I wanted to scream and sob but nothing would come out. GODDDDDD everything about this was so brilliant thought-out. the ot7 friendships are everything. They’re all old HS friends and there’s Vegas trips and flashbacks and missed moments and longing and depression and side ships and plot twists and gut wrenching sad shit and babies and adulting and fuck I love this so much.
“re: “at least I didn’t kill my friend” Jungkook spits back
my notes — “pre-Jackson’s death you could tell that NJ had hesitations of some sort abt finally taking the leap with JK, stemming from simply being nervous, perhaps breaking the friend group up (as seen with yoonmin), internalized homophobia, being scared of homophobia (as seen with jimins incident). however post-Jackson’s death really shifted the idea of Namkook in many ways. not only did Jackson’s accident and death literally stop NJ from confessing but on NJ’s end, added another internal obstacle which is guilt. this is why NJ feels like he can never truly allow himself happiness w JK, even before ever getting together with yoonji. being with JK brings guilt bc the idea of being with JK is what killed Jackson to begin with by proxy. NJ probs doesn’t think he deserves happiness with the love of his life when that was what took someone else’s boyfriend one away. Much to think about.”
