Summary
“There can’t be anyone else,” I said. “There isn’t anyone else. No one else exists except you and me and Uncle Julian and Jonas; all the rest of them are dead and only pretending to be alive. If you married a husband he would be dead and you would bring a dead man into our home, so you can’t.”
(There was nothing a husband could do for Constance that I couldn’t, except take her name away from her and give her a baby.)

Summary
The baying of hounds.
Closer this time. Much too close.
Panic thrummed in her ears. She wasn’t sure what she feared more; the vicious teeth, the hunters, or the mob behind.
She ripped herself free, charged again headlong into the dark.
You only have to reach the line, they won't cross the line.

Summary
Lyra had chosen the book quickly, not because she didn’t care about that evening’s story, but because she loved to lie in Mother’s blankets and watch as Mother rubbed away her layers of paint and metal; as she revealed the woman who was only Lyra’s mother beneath. Then came the silk pajamas, the lavender pillow mist, the twin mugs of hot chocolatl. The story, read aloud in French, their secret language in the heart of London. The forgotten prayer, even though both Lyra’s schoolteachers and their priest said that praying before rest was a necessity. The lights turned out, Mother’s arms opened, Pantalaimon and Mother’s dæmon sitting sentinel at their feet. Mother’s arms were Lyra’s favourite place to sleep in all the world; as a young girl, she’d hoped that she’d always be allowed to snooze in that warm, safe embrace, the smell of Mother’s potions and perfumes perfusing her dreams forever.
Such was the way of Lyra Coulter’s little life. (Marisa raises Lyra herself.)

Summary
The woman cants a curious head and has the audacity to grin, “Funny way of saying thank you.”
“I’ll give no thanks to a Selûnite!”
“Ah,” The woman taps the side of her nose and nods to some silent thing not spoken, “you picked up on that quickly. Congrats to your dark mistress for raising such a gifted war dog.”

(throw a punch, fall in love) give yourself a reason by ifthebookdoesntsell

Summary
Maria only had the honor of meeting Peggy Carter a few times in her life, and she still thinks about those days she spent with her all the time.
“You remind me of myself,” Peggy told her, once, when they grabbed drinks – the only time they grabbed drinks.
Peggy was fully grey by then, with a perfect red lip and sorrow in her eyes, and Maria wondered if this would be her one day: a decorated woman with medals heavy with regret. Part of her knows it will be, but at least Peggy has stories, which means that Maria will too. She noticed that Peggy still wore two watches: one for Steve and one for her, to mark the time when they were in different places, to see if there might be a moment where they could find time for a 25 cent phone call.
Maria wonders if she’ll ever have a reason to want to know the time in more than one place. She’s not sure. Her closest relationships have always been the other soldiers in her unit. To this day, she thinks about what Peggy told her about the Howling Commandos, about adventure and choices, about always doing what is right – or to at least die trying.
(Or, a Maria Hill character study about learning to throw a punch and learning to take a hit, about doing what's right.)

Summary
She didn’t even really ask a question when she told Elphaba what she’d done, when she told her about the house, the biggest purchase of her life: a safe place; a place where, if she’s horrendibly honest, she imagines that maybe they could grow old. Galinda never saw the appeal of it before, of the ache in her bones or the aging lines on her face.
But looking in the mirror lately, they’re there— and she doesn’t hate it. She doesn’t hate knowing she’s changed. That they both have.
(Or, a post-canon fix-it. Elphaba comes back to her. Galinda buys them a house. The eroticism of a gentle life.)

Summary
Miranda had a plan. A nice, easy plan to have it out with Jack in the comfort of her own cabin when Shepard finally stopped hovering like a worried mother hen. They would beat each other senseless. There would be insults. And it would be bloody glorious.
But then they made it back from that one-way trip, and things changed. Miranda changed. Jack changed. And somewhere along the line, a mutual desire to bash each other’s heads in turned into something strange and very, very messy.
And Miranda doesn’t have a plan for that.
