Summary
Many months pass since Ellie's return, and as she slowly pieces herself back together, she finds her way back to Dina.
// Post-canon //
Dina draws back slightly, eyes lingering on Ellie’s for a long time before answering, “Okay. We’ll see.” And that's more than enough for Ellie - more than she’d hoped to get, more than she knows she deserves. She still doesn’t believe in second chances, but she believes in luck and fate and on good days, she believes that the future doesn't necessarily have to be anything like the past.

Summary
Alternative title: undercover missions go terribly wrong (or right?) for the Danvers sisters
Bad-ass DEO secret agent Alex Danvers loves going undercover. Problem is, her partner Kara Danvers keeps coming up with increasingly ridiculous undercover identities which involve yoga, vegan ice cream, and frayed throws. Worse still, one particular woman - they've taken to calling her the /leather jacket vegan/ - keeps appearing & mucking up the lines between Alex's real, private life and her fake identities. Meanwhile, Kara engages in her own undercover shenanigans with a certain billionaire whose company they're investigating.

Summary
The four times Peggy apologises to Angie, and the one time she doesn't. With an extra few chapters of Angie being (always) right.
Or: Peggy falling in love with another scrappy Brooklyn kid, in a mostly-canon re-write of Agent Carter season 1 and a non-canon-re-write of season 2, because we all know how that went down. Domestic shenanigans from New York to L.A.
//
Peggy Carter pushes open the door and takes a corner seat, still feeling like she's somehow betraying her Queen by being publicly seen drinking coffee twice in a week (and /enjoying/ it, too). Angie spots her from across the Automat and comes hurrying over, a huge, shit-eating grin plastered to her face. “English!” She bends down and pulls the woman into a tight, brief hug.
When Angie finally pulls away, Peggy isn’t sure what she’s more concerned about – the fact that this waitress doesn’t seem to understand the meaning of personal space (of which she herself places great importance) or the fact that she actually finds herself enjoying the said invasion of personal space. She clears her throat. “I have a name, you know,” she says. “It’s Peggy. Peggy Carter.”

Summary
Five years of buried emotion, of sad smiles and wasted chances, of fear and inertia and suppressed desire. Of escape and abandonment and this inexplicable force that keeps pushing Beca right back to the woman she thought she'd left behind.

Summary
Perdition, noun: (in Christian theology) a state of eternal punishment and damnation into which a sinful and unpenitent person passes after death.
~~
They’ve been doing this for years. It’s almost crazy, how familiar it all is. And every time, their excuses get flimsier and flimsier.
Beca still has a boyfriend, Chloe still has to graduate, and yet time and time again they find themselves tangled up together, naked in bed or stuffed into a bathroom stall or sneaking out of a party.
And Beca still has a boyfriend, and Chloe knows it’s wrong, but she just can’t seem to stop.

“So, what, I can’t want to get to know you?” Dina challenges her with a cocked eyebrow.
“Uh,” Ellie stutters. “I guess that’s your risk to take.”

Summary
****UPDATED VERSION RELEASING 07/08/25****
"Dina brought the button-up close to her face, slowly closed her eyes, and deeply breathed in the lingering scent.
It smelled like…
...like the earth out in the woods.
Like the soap they all shared in the bath, tinged with lavender.
Like the oil she had watched Ellie rub into the fretboard of her old guitar.
Like whiskey.
Like Ellie."
A slow burn, Dina-centric story, about whether or not love can ever find it's way back home through hurt and loss.
Complete.
