    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    How Grace finally gets back into a classroom, where he belongs

    Summary

    Loid and Yor instate a new daily routine practicing physical displays of affection for the sake of their cover. It's a simple plan with only one rule: "one kiss per day". Intended as a way to quell Yor's anxiety around physical touch, their little rule soon becomes the one thing keeping them from eating each other alive—for now.

    Summary

    The TARDIS strands Eleven at Clara's flat — six years later than he'd intended to arrive. Trapped across his own timeline and up to his delicate eyebrows in spoilers, he receives a cryptic message from Twelve: one of his former companions is in danger, and he’ll need the help of the others to save her. It’s a reunion the Doctor would love to remember… but one the laws of time doom him to forget.

    Summary

    An AU for the Under Strange Stars series, in which the events of Under Strange Stars are identical, until Elrohir decides to travel north with Glorfindel instead of going alone.
    'On the Starlit Sea' roughly corresponds with the events of 'The Stars Above the Sea' in the original series.
    'Northern Stars' covers the events of 'Northern Skies'

    Summary

    Aboard Galdor's warship, Glorfindel returns in triumph from a dangerous expedition deep into enemy territory. He has found Elrond's missing son, but all is not well: the Elf-child that was abducted by the Corsairs of Umbar is now a Man grown. War and darkness have left Elrohir deeply scarred, and he is not the mission's only casualty.

    An alternate universe for the Under Strange Stars series, in which Elrohir goes with Glorfindel instead of running away from him after the events of Under Strange Stars. This story covers the events of ‘Northern Skies’, but it can be enjoyed without having read the original.
