    Summary

    "I'm a little confused." Danny admits. 

    Nicholas nods. That's his fault, probably. “This isn’t—it's not a language I know how to speak.”

    Danny gives him a funny look. “It isn’t Chinese, is it, Nicholas, you're just…a little worked up, is all." 

    “Mandarin.” Nicholas corrects, staring at a spot above Danny’s shoulder. "And I just…I'd like for you to tell me how you feel, because I don't know how to…" Nicholas gestures between them, taking another step forward but not daring to cross the rest of the distance, to speak the language that he's never been able to.

    Summary

    Nicholas gasps, chokes, then loses his breath completely, falling to his hands and knees as he crawls over squeaking rats, tearing apart thick cobwebs to kneel forward, so desperate to prove his eyes wrong even as he palms the icy, sallow face in front of him.

    Summary

    "Hey, what d'you look so sad for?" Danny asked, leaning over till his head rested on Nicholas's shoulder. "I thought maybe we'd cured you."

    Nicholas blinked, having briefly fallen under the spell of those liquid brown eyes. "Of?"

    "London," said Danny, snuggling up closer. "Good riddance, eh?"

    Summary

    Nicholas thought he was done with London, but London was not done with him.

    In which Nicholas and Danny talk; a lot, but not about dragons; and Nicholas realizes he’s a terrible liar and a bit of a sap.

    Summary

    "I doubt they would've been interested anyway."

    Danny snapped out of it. "In what?"

    Nicholas laughed. "My fantasies, such as they are. And I take it you're not really that obsessed with Bond girls, are you, admirable though they may be?"

    It was Danny's turn to laugh. "No, not really. There are plenty of other things in the world worth wanting!"

    "Such as?" Nicholas asked, raising his eyebrows. So fucking earnest.

    "Things I can't have," answered Danny, simply, looking him square in the eye.

    Summary

    “You lied to us but I think for the right reasons. The tea is destroyed. This fucker’s gonna die. I’m gonna die. Put me in the Flow. Run.”

    Pete’s jaw was half-hanging off what remained of his face, mangled beyond repair, but it still lifted at the corner, just a little and Carlos exhaled in a rush. He was trying to smile.

    He swallowed thickly, just barely managed to choke out an affirmative. “Sí.”

    ~*~

    Carlos makes it out of Sinkenton Park Palace just in time but the others do not (or: Carlos, John Nipples and a funeral of sorts)

    (Just a really angsty piece to cope with that ending because wow I feel emotionally devastated)

    Summary

    “John McAllister,” she said dryly. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

    John tipped his head in a polite but small bow of acknowledgement. “Lady Roland.”

    “Don’t call me that. You know I hate when people call me by my father’s name.”

    “Yes Ma’am.”

    Angel waited but John seemed content to leave it at that. She felt something stirring in her stomach, a rush of anger and upset and embarrassment that she had spent years pining for a man who could barely afford to spare her four words.

    “Are you done? Is that all you have to say to me?”

    John looked up at that. It may have been her sharp tone or the words that stirred something in him but when those eyes found her they were full of restrained emotion. Something bitter and tragic she did not like the look of.

    “My Lady, I have so much to say to you.” He cut himself off, glanced around. Some of that fire dulled and he shook his head. Angel figured it a small amount of progress. “But not here. It wouldn’t be appropriate.”

    ~*~

    An AU where that night in Paris ends differently and somehow, despite the odds, Angelina and John find each other again many years later.

    Summary

    Cheeky hadn’t spent much time around those hulking automatons in the past and as a member of the Mobgoblins, much preferred it that way. A criminal and member of law enforcement were hardly going to be the best of friends and even though the thing was clearly broken as hell, Cheeky was still distinctly aware of what they could do – what he had seen them do to those less sneaky and agile than him.

    “I-“ Cheeky swallowed thickly, found himself for once at a loss for words. “I don’t understand lads. I thought the bosses said they’d get me some muscle. I didn’t- I don’t know what I’m even looking at ‘ere.-“

    “Well they ain’t gonna send one of us with you, are they?” The Mobgoblin grinned and it seemed like this was a cruel joke all along. “No, our lives are much too valuable to risk pulling you out the way of a bolt, old man.” He pointed into the darkness of that last cell. “That’s what you get.”

    ~*~

    How Cheeky met Pete and how they worked that first job together.

    (Set before the events of 'Lock Stock & Two Smoking Fireballs' episode 1, pretty much a made up prologue for this duo because I love them so much)

    Summary

    The Knights’ cloaks are the color of an open wound against the walls of the atelier, their pennants like exposed bones. They look at him like Olruggio has committed a crime he cannot remember. Maybe he has.

    They do not tell him who Qifrey is, even when he asks. They do not tell him much of anything.

    Olruggio thinks he can figure it out from the empty space.

    Summary

    "Nothing, nothing." Scar patted Mumbo's cheek condescendingly. "You can go back to sleep now."

    "Come on, what is it?" Mumbo sat up, trying to rub the drowsiness from his eyes.

    In lieu of an answer, Scar reached into Mumbo's hair. Mumbo felt a sharp pinch, and then Scar's hand retreated. Grasped between his index finger and thumb was a single gray hair.

    Mumbo's going gray. For real, this time. He feels no particular way about this whatsoever, where did you get that totally inaccurate impression from?

    "Had it not been for his ailment, Qifrey would have liked to spend every day just like this. Forever basking in these simple touches. Holding dear these fleeting moments without fear or consequence ever looming."

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    He stared up at the person above him. No. Not person. The angel above him, lit with stunning white light, brighter than Simon had seen in years, with clean blond hair, the only spot on his entire form the blood on his hands from touching Simon.

    "Is alive!" The mechanical voice chirped the words from beyond Simon's line of sight; all he could see was the brightly lit angel standing above him.

    "Oh god," the angel whispered, "oh god oh god oh god...."

    The tree?” Ryland asked before he could think better of it. “Only one?”

    “There was only one left after,” Simon answered. “We watched it slowly die.”

    There's a new passenger on the Hail Mary, and Ryland doesn't know what to make of him.
