    Summary

    Charles Cholmondely was a scientist; his purpose in life was to notice what a layperson could not. Big things about small creatures during his previous works became small things about big creatures once within the walls of MI5. But, with no bugs in a quadrat and no prospective corpses on a morgue table, the creatures he was left observing were the colleagues who had become closer than family.

    It was Monty who worried him though.

    [or, when tension cracks through the basement, secrets are revealed and apologies are made]

    Summary

    Two people met and fell in love and lived happily...but not ever after. And life kept going, even after that.

    You're the echoes of my everything
    You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night
    You're the laziness of afternoon
    You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom
    How will I break the news to you?

    No one drew attention to my increasing efforts and difficulties—not at performing Aigeus or Athene, which weren't going badly, but in the role of Nikeratos, son of Artemidoros. Perhaps I had them all fooled...or perhaps they were kind.

    Carson doesn’t know whether Charlie will be more disappointed that she’s joined a coven or that she’s having an affair with one of her coven sisters.

    It could go either way really.

    It’s probably for the best she never plans to see him again.

    Summary

    Lupe and Jess end up in New York City for the off-season. Most confessions can be made over a good ballgame. New York is the prime spot for those few exceptions that can’t.

    Here’s yet another take on the off-season based on that two-second background conversation about going to New York. Title from "You've Got Me" by The Greeting Committee.

    Summary

    Jess and Lupe know too well how the world looks at people like them. But then they meet, and they see each other.

    This is an exploration of Jess’ and Lupe’s relationship throughout Season 1, as they become friends, get wildly horny for each other, fall in love, and finally do something about it. This fic is as canon compliant as humanly possible, and is built out of a mix of scenes from the show told from their perspectives, expanded upon background moments, and plenty of missing scenes.

    Summary

    “’Would you hate me if I came to visit? I know we both need to find our own paths, but all I ever do is count the days until they merge back together again.’

    She thinks of Greta during every waking moment and dreams about her when she falls asleep as whichever train she finds herself on hurtles onwards through the night.”

    Carson struggles to find herself after Rockford, cast adrift from her friends and from Greta. She quickly learns that she is not the only one, but The Peaches will help each other readjust together. They are there as Carson reclaims lost parts of herself and slowly makes her way across the country to Greta, to her home. [Or, post-s1 Carson introspection ft: drinks with Jo, roadtrips with Lupe and Jess, hugs from Maybelle, a blissful reunion with Greta, and all the letters Carson never sent]

    Summary

    It's not that Lupe is a pessimist. Really. Sometimes things go right. And things have been going right: the Peaches are consistently winning; she's acquired a Jess; she's even managed to avoid any extended conversations with Shaw for the last two weeks.

    But... generally, at least in her experience, when things go right for longer than five fucking minutes, the world has a habit of using its middle finger to trip her ass over tit.

    So, in hindsight, Lupe probably should have predicted that things were about to go to goddamn shit.
