    Summary

    title from Take Me Home, Country Roads

    -

    “Ryland?” He looks up at her, his eyes wide and watery. She sees the weight of stars within them. “You're– real? You did it?”

    He reaches into his pocket. He tosses her a worn, faded hacky sack. She catches it easily. Blues and greens have faded to different, marbled grays. She brings it to her noise. It smells of sweat and dust. Conjured scents have never been this clear.

    “Davis,” she says. “We're going to the Carls tonight.”

    Summary

    Dr. Ryland Grace, destitute, just wants a job. There are certainly worse possibilities than becoming a live-in tutor.

    Eva Stratt, newly guardian of five nieces and nephews, wants a highly educated, responsible, capable governess, who will meet all of the children's needs and also who won't run away from the household (again). Someone should not be this hard to find.

    Franzi would like to draw a picture. Rosi would like to read a book. Erich would like to learn more about stars, please. Elma would like everyone to be happy. Gunther would really, really, really, thank you very much, like to have a dog.

    Sound of Music AU.

    Summary

    The possibility presents itself like one of Al-Hashimi’s last-minute fixes: field tracheotomy. Do or die. A leap that cannot be un-taken.

    Victoria's night out takes a wild turn.

    Summary

    “Don't die,” Stratt says, still having not broken her stride. “At this point, that would be an inconvenience.”

    As soon as he thinks she's out of earshot, Grace leans in and stage whispers to Carl. “Did you hear?! I got a promotion! I’m an inconvenience!”

    -

    In the lead up to the launch of Earth's last ditch hope of salvation, Eva Stratt makes a few different decisions about what it means to be human in the face of the end of the world. Ryland Grace is just along for the ride, right? There's nothing particularly exceptional about him. Together, they face the challenges and consequences of saving the entire planet.

    Summary

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.
