    Summary

    Almost everything was coming together in her favour, despite all those adamant to get in her way. Everything is nearly perfect.

    It is just unfortunate that Centry is, thus far, a failure. But she will persevere.

    Now it is up to resurrecting her reputation. Image is everything and Valentina Allegra de Fontaine knows exactly how to use it. If only she could make a decision on a damn lipstick.

    "Mel!" She calls out. Her assistant was quick to emerge from the other room, meeting her eyes with a smile and a nod. Valentina holds up two lipsticks stashed on the table in front of her. "Daring or Rendezvous?"

    OR

    Valentina uses Mel as a test subject for which of her lipsticks won't stain.

    Summary

    “You’re smarter than most people I’ve met, Mel…And I’ve wondered if that’s what you wanted from me — to be taught. Or if you wanted…something gentler. People think I don’t care. I do. Just… not the right way, maybe.”

    Her fingers tap against the box of fries in her hands. She bites the inside of her cheek.

    “If that’s the only kind of care I know, does it still count?”

    This is the first time Val offers herself. And Mel, as always, receives it without making it heavier than it has to be.

    OR

    After the encounter with Bob, Valentina’s facade starts to drop, and her assistant, Mel, notices.

    Quietly, she asks, "When did you start talking like me?"

    Mel blinks, confused. "What do you mean?"

    Val watches her, posture straight, hand resting on her desk exactly as Val's does.

    "Don't become me, Mel." It's the most honest thing she's said in weeks.

    Mel half-smiles, but Val doesn't laugh. "I mean it," she continues. "Just don't."

    Summary

    “I’m not gay,” John said into the darkness. 
     
    Sherlock rolled over, facing away from him. The skin of his cleft slid uncomfortably against itself as he moved, the lubricant becoming tacky as it began to dry. He re-adjusted the pillow under his head. “I know.”

    “Sherlock, do you believe that you deserved the beating John gave you?”

    He’s quiet. This question is an unsolvable riddle, every time he’s asked it.

    ~*~

    Sherlock has never known how to take care of himself — let alone anybody else. But if he wants John back in his life, he knows he’ll have to try. In the wake of Mary’s death and John’s rejection, a countryside retreat and a new friendship help Sherlock begin to grow into a better man.

    With everyone on the Defiant fighting for their lives following the withdrawal from the station, Doctor Julian Bashir picks a strange time to suddenly realize, apropos of nothing, that he is head-over-heels in love with Garak.

    With diminishing odds, it'll be an uphill battle to make sure that either of them live long enough for Julian to tell Garak the truth.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "I'm glad to hear it." Not that Percy thought she was telling the truth. Something about her expression and her tone of voice gave him a feeling that - not that it was all rehearsed, perhaps, but that she'd taught herself to seem personable. Too personable. The perfect politician, someone who every voter might think was their best friend and wholly on their side.

    Summary

    Garak, Bashir writes. I’m sorry for the delay in my reply. As I imagine it has been for you, the past eight months have been an exercise in survival for me. An exercise in which I have questioned myself what it means to do more than just survive. What it would mean for me to actually, really live. And I think I’ve finally figured it out. Or at least, figured myself out.

    Please see attached.

    You’re infuriating,” Garak mutters between kisses, nipping at Julian’s bottom lip before soothing it with his tongue. “Infuriating. Idiotic. Dramatic. Who else would come here for six months to the same city and not even write—”

    “You would, don’t pretend you wouldn’t,” he replies, running his thumbs along the ridge of scales on Garak’s jawline before dropping his hands down to the sides of his ribcage. “You blew up your shop instead of telling Odo about your suspicions that an assassin was coming after you. You broke into a holosuite instead of telling me you were frustrated I wasn’t paying you enough attention. You would absolutely—”

    Summary

    Fourteen years after the end of the Dominion War, Bajor and Cardassia are finally poised to enter the United Federation of Planets, together. But when Castellan Garak and Military Minister Kira find the body of Julian Bashir—with a heavily encrypted datarod containing the last fifty years of covert operations by Section 31 in his hand—on the eve of the treaty signing on Deep Space Nine, negotiations fall apart.

    There is some nuance to it, of course, but what is nuance when your friend’s dead body has been found in a stasis container in Cargo Bay Four?

    Or, Julian dies in the name of service to the Alpha Quadrant, but does a poor job staying dead. It does get his friends back together in one place, though.

    He didn't tell Nerys. Perhaps he should have, but he found himself quite unsure of what to say. Nerys, did you know that you have, apparently, somehow, won some degree of protection from a former Obsidian Order agent? Oh, protection against me, lest I decide to murder you to preserve my honor. It seemed impossible to slip casually into the light conversation they made while walking to the O'Brien's quarters for dinner.

    He was struck, then, by the alienness of these aliens. In no Cardassian household, none, would a family sit around a dinner table and speak the name of the former head of the Obsidian Order at anything above a whisper.

    Summary

    Robin certainly wouldn't stab a man going through a mental health crisis, even if said man was Red Hood and was trying to kill him. Too bad Robin can't come to the phone right now, since Tim doesn't have the same reservations.

    This is technically part of an AU idea where Tim was a bit more, eh, antisociality minded and had a more difficult tenure as Robin. He eventually becomes Red Hood's Robin instead, but this is kind of their first meeting. From Jason’s perspective at least.

    The abuse tags are vague, like a combined six sentences. and the graphic violence is like, one good stab, but still, better safe than sorry.

    "I know you want to go back out" Jack says and Tim doesn’t deny it. He needs to, really.

    "I don't want you too, and you know that."

    Tim nods.

    "You are going to die in that suit and there is nothing I can do or say that will ever stop you—really stop you."

    Tim swallows, his tongue suddenly heavier than he ever thought was possible. He looked at his dad, really looked. The salt and pepper hair, the pale sallow color of his skin and the deliberate way in which he sat, as if he still wasn't used to being able to move again.

     

    Slowly, he reaches out and pulls his dad into a hug. Jack seems startled at first but reciprocates quickly. Tim sighs. It was true, only an idiot wouldn't be able to see the pattern. The lifestyle was addicting and he'd die before he ever thought about retiring.

    or; Father and son know how it's gonna end, it's just a question of *when*.

    Summary

    The thing is, right, that when you come from a family like Tim’s, where any affection at all is seen as unnecessary and not validated as a need for a person, it’s hard to pinpoint what a healthy relationship should look like. And Bruce definitely had not been in the right headspace to care for him correctly, or at all really. Paired with Tim’s conviction that Batman needed a Robin, well, it was practically fate that things started spiraling out of control quickly. This marked the start of the probably unhealthiest relationship between a Robin and Batman to date. (Yes, even including Jason, because everything with him happened after his death, not before.)

    .
    .

    (Tim had been a child before he’d been a crutch, before he’d been a partner, before he’d been a hero. Tim had been Tim, young, idealistic and with an iron moral code.

     

    or: Tim and Bruce are so similar they can't help but become codependent. They spiral from there.
