Summary
Her mother holds her face, a hand on each cheek. Her grasp is too firm. “Maddie. You do not want to marry a woman. You do not think women are pretty. You do not love women.” Madeline opens her mouth to protest but is silenced by the look in her mother’s eyes. “This is not a discussion, dear. This is something you are going to learn here and now. We will not have this conversation again. Do you understand?” Madeline nods, shakily. She doesn’t understand why, but she certainly knows what her mother means. And she knows to follow the rules.
Character study of Madeline throughout her life. She and her mom are both painfully aware that she's a lesbian but they're trying to pretend that's not real--lots of stuff with her mother, lots of low self-esteem depressing sex with men. MadHel, but it's gonna take a sec and most of it will be repression and yearning.

Summary
Discontinued
“Hi, Madeline. It’s Helen Sharp, your sister rang me about—”
“Oh yes, come up.”
The line cuts before she can finish her sentence or respond, and she’s stood blinking at the door. Not exactly rude, just… abrupt. Helen makes her way upstairs, forming an opinion of Madeline which, so far, leans to the unflattering. Brisk, overly assertive, probably a nightmare to have a balanced conversation with.
Or
Helen finds herself babysitting Madeline's young daughter. It's supposed to be a one-time quick fix, but the women can't stay away from one another.

Deciding to take a leap of faith, Lute sends her memories of everything up until a month after the failed extermination BACK to the past. She cannot undo the events of the original timeline, and she has only one shot at creating a new divergent one. The question is... will she succeed? And even if she avoids the attack on the Hotel... what other forces are at work between Heaven and Hell that could still threaten Lute's efforts to save the man she loves?

Summary
“Wait!” the thing cried in that familiar voice. “Lute, fucking— Wait! It’s me!”
Lute froze, the tip of her spear pressing lightly against the skin of the sinner’s throat.
It stared up at her with wide, horrified, hopeful yellow eyes. Now that she actually looked, she couldn’t deny that she would have known them in any lifetime. The shape of his face was the same. The hair was the same. The voice was the same. But—
The creature before her had one more eye than it should have. It had horns growing out of its head — the same shape that the ones on his helmet had been, but real in a way that no angel’s were. Knives grew from the tips of its fingers, impossible to be covered even by the gloves it wore.
The thing in front of her was undoubtedly a demon.
Adam had been an angel.
Adam was dead.

Or; Lute goes to hell during the next extermination seeking revenge. Instead, she gets the crisis of a lifetime.

Summary
-A beast can never be as cruel as a human being, so artistically, so picturesquely cruel.-
Fyodor DostoyevskyNatasha, Steve, Tony and Clint have been captured.
Their captor is smug, sadistic,... and he seems to be one step ahead all the time.
Between torture that brings out their weaknesses more than any supervillain did before, and time threatening to run out, escape is necessary, yet seems impossible.I torture Nat for fun, and ruin Clint's mental health for the next twenty years. Steve is conflicted, and Tony tries being neutral and fails miserably.
(This is, in my personal opinion, the best I've done so far, even though I ripped my heart out in the process)

Summary
"What I don't understand," Steve clears his throat and watches Spider-Man hit the glass, a feral growl snarling low from his throat, "Is why he would go after Spider-Man. He only goes after children, so..."
Tony stares back at him without really seeing him, and it feels like every single bone in his body is expanding and pressing against his skin.
"About that," he croaks.
(Children in New York are going darkside and dying. Spider-Man is no exception).

Summary
Pepper Potts was a woman of great knowledge. None of it helped her after the Endgame, and none of it aided in helping Peter Parker either,
She finds him on the floor of the garage, and what is shared while the sun starts to set is a sacred sort of peace. A kinship born from the worst of circumstances.

“Is she like me?” Nynaeve continued. “One of your pet projects forced into becoming an Aes Sedai? And you were hoping she would come save you?”
Moiraine’s face remained impassive, a long silence elapsing before she deigned to reply, “No. She is not my sister Aes Sedai.”
(In which Nynaeve tries listening at a door and learns more than she bargained for)
