Fandom(s): Wicked (movie)
Rating: PG
Word Count: 6,070
Summary: Misunderstandings are a bitch. Or: 6,000 words of Elphaba realizing Fiyero and Feldspur were not, in fact, laughing at her that night in the forest.
Author's Notes: Canon divergence AU where the Ozdust doesn’t happen, so the status quo is still status quo-ing.

( “I’m just here to offer you a ride, Elphaba,” Fiyero sighs. His voice has dropped slightly, losing its usual silver-tongued affectation the way it had upon their first meeting. His real voice. She hasn’t decided whether to interpret it as a compliment or insult that he doesn’t keep it up around her.Collapse )

Summary: Created by Dark Dimension magic, the Framework is a world all its own — which means it can be portaled to like any other.

Whumptober 2024 Day 5: Sunburn
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,509
Summary: In which Daisy and Robbie get stuck in rural Utah.
Author’s notes: Premise is in reference to 4x05 when Daisy says, “[Getting off the plane] would put you in rural Utah. You think you're pissed off now ...”

Whumptober 2024 Day 4: Hallucinations
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,788
Summary: “I’m gonna kill him.” The declaration is more growl than speech. “I’m gonna fucking kill him.”

( She’s at her wits’ end. So, she tries the only other thing she can think of. While it’s not something she wants to resort to — surely it’s not mentally healthy — it’s worked before and she’s desperate. She also can’t say she hasn’t missed him, mirage or no.Collapse )

Whumptober 2024 Day 1: Race Against the Clock
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,182
Summary: Once everything settles down, then what? She has no idea how long he’ll be gone this time, or if he’ll ever come back at all. She hadn’t thought he was coming back the first time; a second time, or third, or fourth, is a gamble she’s not inclined to make.

( Choosing not to sweat the probably very important details, Daisy turns from the portal to Coulson. 'I have to know.'Collapse )
