The Witcher (TV)+1

Highway Angel (To the Dark I Said Pour and Forgot to Say When)

by Descarada

Geralt is a long haul truck driver. With long stretches on the road away from his family, and with no one to keep him company but his loyal dog Roach, he has to brave most of his life completely alone. Then one day, just as he is passing the city of Oxenfurt, he turns on the radio and hears a voice. ---- During those hours, Jaskier's voice fills Geralt's lonely cabin. It melds with the noises of the truck and the road and the night, imbuing the sounds of his life with longing and beauty. It is the highlight of every trip. The rain patters, the gears shift, Roach snores, and Jaskier laughs self-deprecatingly when he messes up a note. His voice vibrates and sparkles and Geralt takes it to his chest and holds it. When the static begins to break in, he feels regret. He feels loss. When he returns that way, Geralt counts the miles until he's back in range of the station. When he catches sight of the little green mile marker that says twenty-six, he knows it is time to turn the dial. That is when Jaskier's voice, bright and warm, fills his life again with its comfort.

How loud the silence rings

by solisaureus

Cassandra had personal distaste for Eugene, but their personal differences couldn’t justify the way that her heart would leap into her throat and her breath would escape her every time the man would lean in to kiss the princess. That was due to something entirely different. —AU where Rapunzel breaks up with Eugene after his first proposal. Cassandra is deeply in love with her, but feels too paralyzed by guilt to make a move. Slow-ish burn.

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries

You Are Cordially

by aljohnson

In 2011, DI Jack Robinson of the Victoria Police Force is getting along OK with Miss Phryne Fisher. It wasn't a smooth start, and her Private Detective Agency is sometimes a major thorn in his side, but he likes her, and he's wondering if he might be brave enough to ask her out. But the 21st Century is a dating minefield, especially if you're out of practice, and continually worried about Police Force rules, policies and procedures. But Jack and Phryne aren't that different really. Or so Jack thinks. Until an invitation to a very special wedding pops through Phryne's letterbox.... **************************************** OK, small warning: It's 2011 - everyone's language is a little more 'fruity' than it is in 1929!

Supergirl (TV 2015)

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

by UselessLesbianLaughter

The world where Lena and Kara never made up after their fall-out. Lena wouldn't give up on her project. Kara wouldn't give up on Lena. As their moralities drifted further and further apart, their feelings for each other became more and more apparent and unavoidable. It was killing the both of them and couldn't go on any longer.Kara confronts Lena. *** "How many times had she started a speech with that same breathy voice, that same just look in her eyes as though she really believed this time was going to be different. “Give it up, Kara, will you? So much of my budget goes to window repair, it’s very rude. You know these buildings have doors, right?” Lena lamented, not bothering to look towards goldilocks with glass in her hair. Kara stared at the woman hunched over a table, working against everything Supergirl stood for, once a friend, now annoyed at her mere presence, berating her for breaking too many windows upon seeing her. “I love you,” it slipped out of her."

so that i can hardly speak

by rennish

Aziraphale did not mean to creep silently into Crowley's (Nanny Ashtoreth's) room in the dead of night and investigate the gentle music, sweet smells, or soft light coming from behind the ensuite bathroom door. But. He did it anyway. It's possible he should have known better.
