    Summary

    The Before - Struggling to keep a job, broke secondary school drop out Wheatley finds the allure of a high paying, low experience necessary job in the middle of Nowheresville USA to be extremely tempting. Running out of options, he pushes back his reservations about the bizarre opportunity and makes the move to the states where he quickly learns with the help of an orange clad test subject that this job is not exactly what it seemed.
    The After - After crashing back to Earth, Wheatley the core finds himself returned to the clutches of an old enemy who wants to exact her revenge in a peculiar way. Undergoing a core transfer to a new body, and jarring flashbacks of the past, Wheatley still wonders if he can earn the forgiveness of the test subject he betrayed.

    Portal 2 has a beautiful, well written ending that really makes you feel. With that said, while a redemption arc may not have fit into the cannon Portal universe, we (usually) don’t browse through fics on AO3 at three in the morning (I see you, night owls, go to bed) for poetic endings, we do it for sweet redemption tales that make you feel warm and fuzzy after abandoning that poor little British orb on the moon. I know you feel guilty too, you monsters.

    Summary

    Día de los Inocentes meant the world to Ella Lopez after she nearly died as a child. But, after all the bad things, she's lost her faith, and so she's not psyched when her brother Jay shows up to celebrate. Lucifer seems like a perfect buffer, but she ends up learning more than she expects about her friend.


    “So what is your deal?” Ella asked. “I mean, I always assumed most of what you say is because of your part thingy or whatever, but . . . do you believe? I mean really? I didn’t mean to offend you . . .”

    Lucifer shook his head. “It’s not really a matter of belief when you know it’s true.”

    Of course, she thought. He never broke character. “I just feel like I lost something, you know?”

    Summary

    It was a feather. A really filthy-looking feather - broken and bent, but still wide and about as long as her hand. It was too big to belong to a seagull, and it didn’t make any sense for it to be here, in the middle of the precinct. Ella picked it up, oddly compelled despite the old blood caked on it.

    -or-

    An exploration of the Ella & Lucifer friendship, in which Ella uses forensics to figure out that he's maybe not a method actor after all. Set after the season 3 finale and after "Boo Normal."
