Noahs Arkangel
by abluestocking
“I’ll be up at the Arkangel,” Noah finishes. “When you lot have finished your grumbling, come up and get your assignments.” After he leaves, everyone looks at each other, still caught in the moment of silence. As might have been expected, Ham’s the one to break it. “What’s crawled up his exhaust pipe?” “I think the prospect of a life-ending flood might just have had a moderately deleterious effect upon him,” Rahela says sarcastically. “I can’t imagine why.”

At her feet
by Hagar
"Blessed among women be Yael, wife of Heber the Kanite, blessed among all women in the tent. He asked for water, milk she gave; a lord's dish of butter she offered. She put her hand to the stake, and her right to the hammer; and she struck him down, she smote Sisera, smote off his head, stricken and pierced through his temple. At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down to sleep: at her feet he bowed, he fell, and where he bowed there he was felled dead." - Judges 5:24-27

Knit Together Slightly
by fresne
All night long on my bed, I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him. I have searched for him. For the one my heart loves is a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person. His hair waves like the sweet water and black as a raven. His eyes are like eagles by the mountain tops washed in our enemies blood. His lips are like the rose of the valley dipped in myrrh. His body is polished bronze and his legs are pillars of stone. His mouth is like to the sweetest of wines that makes the head spin. Very pleasant has the sight of you been to me: your love to me is wonderful, passing the love of women. This is my friend, son of Jerusalem.

[...] And Yael Hever's wife took a tent's stake and a hammer in her hand and quietly went to him, and she struck the stake through his temple all the way to the ground; and he had been asleep and exhausted, and so died." - Judges 4:17-18, 21
