I’ll See You in the Future When We're Older by TheSecondQueenOfSol
Fandoms: The Worst Witch (TV 2017)
27 Jun 2018
Tags
Summary
And then Hecate felt the wave hit. She felt the door’s ancient enchantments blasted without finesse and sensed a handful buckle and dissipate under the pressure. But only a few. The ones that denied access without permission, and those that subdued the magic of strangers. The others stayed strong, unharmed.
The magic washed through the door, purple and gold lighting up the flaws in the wood and glistening in the air.
There was something familiar about it. Something dreadfully familiar.***
The Mists of Time return to Cackle's, and Hecate gets a rather surprising peek at her future, and that of Mildred Hubble.Bookmarked by borrowthemoonlight

Summary
It doesn’t occur to her until later that Hecate might say no. Of course, she knows she is loved by her and knows there is nothing but Hecate’s insecurities that could tear them apart, but still, the fear creeps up on her when they’re preparing for bed.
They’ve gone to bed earlier than usual so as to wake up right when the moon is hanging at its highest point in the sky to ‘gather tannis root and watercress for the first full moon, Hiccup!’
It was both sad and entirely endearing how easily it was to convince Hiccup to leave Cackle’s with that invitation. Was there really watercress growing in Redbud Grove?
Absolutely not.
But the stars will be out and Hecate will wear her hair down and won’t bother to change out of her dressing gown in her excitement. And Pippa – Pippa will point out the small secluded clearing she created earlier in the week, will lay Hecate down on a blanket and will make the stars dance above their heads before she asks the single most important questions she has left.

Summary
"Hecate, what's the matter? You're acting very strange." Pippa's brows are drawn together in concern.
"I believe I've accidentally inhaled some of the exi veritas during the very last of the brewing process," Hecate admits slowly. "I should- I should go before I say anything I regret."
"What could you possibly-" The rest of Pippa's question is cut off when Hecate abruptly ends the call.
There are approximately two brief, blissful seconds of silence before Hecate begins to cry.

Summary
How typical of Hecate to think that Pippa wouldn’t want her, Pippa who has grown steadily more desperate to kiss her, to touch her, since their reunion.

Summary
Water sloshes down into puddles on the stone beneath their feet and they stand together, soaked and breathless, Hecate staring at her in a way that makes Pippa itch with satisfaction. As if she’s finally seeing her.
“Have you,” Hecate begins, voice pitched low, “lost your modern mind.”
Pippa closes the distance between them until they’re toe to toe. “Have you forgotten that there’s more to The Craft than a dusty old book of rules?”
****
Hecate learns modern magic. Pippa learns why Hecate is so loyal to Cackle's. Together they learn how much better life can be if they only just work as a team.

levitating cause we want to (after midnight we could feel it all) by thispapermoon
Fandoms: The Worst Witch - All Media Types, The Worst Witch (TV 2017)
01 Apr 2018
Tags
Summary
She allows herself to hang suspended, to dissolve into nothing - into magic - which is to say, into everything. For a time she twirls calmly in the soft dappled twilight of neither here nor there, delighted to give over the weight of her body, delighted to let herself succumb to the ease with which the spell works its way through her every cell.
****
Hecate savors the feel of her returned magic. But it might just be harder to readjust than expected.

Summary
Hecate tries not to drag her feet as they come closer to the group gathered around a long table covered in sweets and drinks. She wishes she could have a few more minutes alone with Pippa, at least enough to get her bearings; but it’s Pippa’s birthday, and she refuses to be selfish. Refuses to bring down Pippa’s bright mood with her own dourness and insecurities. She even does her best to smile, a small, tense lift of her lips that makes her face feel hot and her jaw clench.

Summary
Hecate reaches out blindly and places her hand on the floor between them, the stone cold against her burning palm. She feels Pippa’s hand move next to hers - nearly touching but not quite.
“Please,” she whispers, moving so that it presses next to Pippa’s, trying and failing to balance her desperate heart against the years of raging fear.
Pippa’s hand presses back. “May I?” she murmurs, fingertips just brushing her own. And Hecate slowly turns her hand over and allows Pippa to lace their fingers together. Breathes in and breathes out at her first true acceptance of intimacy in thirty years.
****
Pippa always knew there was more to Hecate leaving than a silly broomstick competition. With betrayal still hanging so rawly between them decades later, she is determined to finally learn the truth. But Hecate has secrets of her own. And the truth is not always an easy thing.
