Summary
They’ve survived the apocalypse and now as far as they know, they’re the only ones left. Perhaps it was inevitable that they’d consider… repopulation. Lucretia writes up a weekly schedule to try and address that. Absolutely no one is happy with this.

Summary
“We were never just hunters, though,” Sarah says. “We’re sailors. Even with all those monsters swimming in it, the sea’s our home. It’s in our blood.” She levels a look to Jacob. “It’s in her blood, too.”
Again, he doggedly shakes his head. “It’s no place for a kid.”

Summary
“What the… what are you all doing? We have work to do!”
It’s a justified reaction, Lucretia thinks, to finding your entire crew literally lazing about on deck not an hour into this new cycle.
“This one's on me,” Taako says. “It’s a new trend I like to call: taking a fucking break.”Cycle Nintey-Five. Everyone’s maybe not doing so good and could use a little warmth.

Summary
“Enough!” Cassandra was on her feet, her hand slicing through the air as she rounded on Varian. It was impossible to miss the look in his eyes, or the way he startled back. She winced, squeezing her hands tight. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
“I think you’re going to have to,” Varian said softly.
~ ~ ~
After the battle Varian and Cassandra have a heart to heart, and they’re not the only ones.

Summary
“Margaret,” he says for a third time. “The result of this test… the one that goes in your file, the one we tell Colonel Potter… it doesn’t have to be positive. Not if you don’t want it to be.”
Margaret laughs, because it’s just like him to think he can make a test say what he wants.
“I think people would notice when I had a baby,” she says, trying hard to sound funny.
“If you have a baby,” Hawkeye says quietly. Seriously.An AU of What's Up Doc? where Margaret is pregnant, but still doesn't want to be. Hawkeye offers her another choice.

Bookmarker's Notes
The only story on Ao3 about Sarah Sweeting and a beautiful, poetic one at that. A study of her past and who she is, how language and home are intertwined, and does a great job in the M&C style and the historical setting.
