    Summary

    It's not the best move to burst into his office first thing the next morning and demand, "You're royalty?" with probably a little too much glee in her voice, but Liz couldn't care less. This motherfucker has a coat of arms.

    Finn startles so badly he almost falls out of his chair, eyes wide for a moment before settling into their normal squinty belligerence. "The correct term is 'aristocrat,'" he says. "And how did you not know this? It's hardly a secret." He still looks shifty, though. More than his usual, default shifty.

    "Because the minute you weirdos start talking about dukes and duchesses, I feel like I'm trapped in a shitty off-Broadway production of The Lion In Winter."

    Summary

    The truth is a dead language. Trust is a type of necromancy. (Five attempts at saying "I love you", whether they were aware of it or not, plus one when it happened naturally.)

    Summary

    Malcolm stops the second he's through the door, stares right at her before demanding, "Am I going to enjoy hearing your explanation for how you've lost your fucking mind?"

    "Yes," Nicola says, the bitterness rising in her throat, ignoring Terri standing right behind Malcolm, able to hear every word. "Because clearly that's what happened, I decided to end a twenty year marriage to the father of my kids on a whim. Got me all figured out, haven't you." She wants, so badly, for her voice to stay hard and dismissive, but despite Nicola's best efforts, a wobble slips through right at the very end.

    (AU, set during Series 3.)

    Summary

    Ignoring Danny, Clara rushed out of the TARDIS and into the snow. Carefully, she crept up the hill and found herself overlooking one of the bridges spanning the Thames. A man and a woman danced around the ice, arms wrapped around at each other. Her eyes narrowed. Was that Stevie Wonder sitting at a piano?
