Narnia, Susan, hidden weapons

[andi-horton.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you have an armoury?" Susan clasps her hands together and smiles The Smile, the one even warlords hosting Narnian monarchs on missions of tenuous and treacherous diplomacy cannot resist. So their host escorts her through the stronghold, mumbling about the beauty of her hair and how the stars are shamed by the light of her eyes, while she nods, smiles, and calculates the size of the weapons cache.

"I suspect he'd no idea," she confides in her family that night, "it is possible to count without using one's fingers."

Narnia, Peter & Lucy, fighting & healing

[snacky]

Peter doesn't want Lucy carrying her cordial to all battles, and Lucy understands why - her brother is the High King, and when given an order, she does try to obey his wishes. Still, she is very glad she disobeyed when she rides north to meet him the last stand against the Giants. And when Peter regains consciousness and finds his crushed leg healed perfectly, he is glad she did too.

Narnia, Susan & Edmund, the art of diplomacy

[snacky]

(sorry, longer than 3 sentences!)

Edmund sinks wearily onto the chaise in the luxurious suite Susan has been given in the Terebinthia royal palace, and sighs. "It's been three months already - how much longer are you going to be!?"

Susan shoots him a withering look over the rim of her teacup. "I don't know, Spymaster. How much longer will it take you to dig up something we can use for leverage?"

Narnia, Peter & Edmund, memories of home

[ceitfianna]

"Peter, do you remember the names of the English kings?" Edmund asked with a note of worry in his voice as he tapped his fingers on a book of Narnian history.

"No, I don't, but I know all the Narnian ones which matter more as we're some of them."

The West Wing, Josh/Donna, bringing each other coffee

[vialethe]

"What's wrong with it?" Donna asked, eying the Starbucks cup Josh had reverently set before her.

"Nothing's wrong with it!" Josh said, edging it closer to her before taking a sip of his own and making a face like he'd just been told the Republicans were coming up from the Hill. "Well, except for the fact that it might possibly be the same coffee you brought me yesterday."

The West Wing, Josh/Sam, fixing mistakes

Sherlock (BBC), John/Sherlock, there's always something.

[verdant_fire]

(warning: partly based on the Series 3 trailer, so please avoid if you consider that spoilery.)

---

When Sherlock first sees John again, he realises with a sick lurch that nothing about their reunion will go according to plan. John is sitting at a table for two in a French restaurant he would never willingly frequent, dressed in his best suit, and fidgeting nervously: a movement which highlights the outline of a small square box in his pocket, the sort of box used for engagement rings.

Well, Sherlock thinks as he forces himself forward, there’s always something.

Sherlock (BBC), Mrs. Hudson, maternal love

[lotl101.livejournal.com]

Martha Hudson had never planned on having children, certainly not with that husband of hers that dear Sherlock had helped her with, and not since. And yet she had somehow managed to find herself with not one but two sons, Sherlock and that wonderful John Watson. She may not be their housekeeper, but no one could deny that she was most definitely their mother in all the ways that mattered though she lacked the blood to make it official.

Sherlock (BBC), Greg Lestrade/Molly Hooper, unexpected attraction

[profshallowness.livejournal.com]

She’s not too used to someone speaking to her with such warmth, or saying something nice and meaning it. But there has been a lot of lying in Molly’s life of late, some of it by herself to herself and she’s been getting sick of it. So she tells Greg Lestrade that yes, actually, she would like to go and get a pint or something at the pub and the grin she gets in response is a pleasure.

Sherlock (BBC), Mycroft Holmes, the purpose of grief

[keerawa.livejournal.com]

Mycroft staggered to his feet, ordering his men at-ease with a single gesture, after John's unexpected right-hook at the funeral. Three lives, and his brother's strange and fragile heart, hung in the balance of this deception. John's grief was unseemly, but no one witnessing his performance could doubt that Sherlock Holmes was dead.

Harry Potter, Harry/Hermione, unlikely or unusual anniversaries

[pleonasm]

"It was a year ago today," Harry announces suddenly, and Hermione is trying to read about bandersnatch mating habits so she doesn't look up from her book before asking, "What was?"

She's sucking on a quill and bites down hard when Harry says, "When we fought the troll and really became friends"; Ron isn't here so maybe that explains his sudden blush, because she knows he's not the sentimental type, and was probably expecting some kind of fistbump solidarity thing.

That doesn't explain her own sudden flush, though, and without lifting her eyes from the text, she says, a bit tart, "And to think, some people just lend each other books," just to hear his laugh.

Harry Potter, Harry/Hermione, when friendship and bravery turn to love.

[i-love-freddie.livejournal.com]

Hermione had felt the stirrings of something – though she wasn't quite sure what – after Harry rescued her from the troll. As the years past, as their friendship grew stronger and she saw how bravely he fought against Voldemort, the feelings of admiration became something much more.

The day of Dumbledore's funeral, when he held her and kissed her, was the happiest and saddest day of her life.

Harry Potter, Ron/Luna, seeing the world differently

[i-love-freddie.livejournal.com]

He had started out laughing at her, but she had taught him much. In her company, he learned to open his mind and his heart to new experiences. Suddenly - when he looked at it through her eyes - the world didn't seem to be quite such a dark place.

Glee, Kurt/Blaine, New beginnings in New York

[ink-gypsy.livejournal.com]

They walked down Broadway holding hands, so happy to be together that when they stopped at the corner, waiting for the traffic light to change, they shared a spontaneous kiss.

Out of habit, they looked around, expecting to see people staring at them and preparing themselves for the barrage of insults they were all too used to hearing when two gay men were openly affectionate with each other, but to their amazement, no one on the street paid them the slightest attention.

They might have traveled only a little over five hundred miles from Lima, but standing on this bustling New York City street, Blaine and Kurt felt as if they'd arrived on another planet.

Glee, Blaine & Cooper Anderson, what it means to be brothers

[harmony-lover.livejournal.com]

Glee, Kurt Hummel & Rachel Berry, gold stars

[harmony-lover.livejournal.com]

Narnia, Peter Pevensie, more than one way to be a hero

[saoirse7.livejournal.com]

He'd seen plenty of battles, too many.

He'd won some, lost others.

But as he gingerly guided the terrified Kitten down the tree into the waiting paws of her mother, he knew that there was more than one way to be a hero.

[harmony-lover.livejournal.com]

Glee, Kurt/Blaine, through all worlds and times

[harmony-lover.livejournal.com]

Glee, Santana Lopez, being her own woman

[harmony-lover.livejournal.com]

Downton Abbey, Matthew Crawley & Dowager Violet Crawley, conspirators

[harmony-lover.livejournal.com]

Downton Abbey, Tom Branson/Sybil Crawley, quiet revolutions

[seasight.livejournal.com]

"We'll teach him Irish," Branson says, leaning around her shoulder to feel the curve of her belly. Sybil blinks, considers, smiles.

"Of course we will," she says, twining her fingers in Branson's.

Harry Potter, Harry/Luna, they were so nice to each other, they understood one another

[lotl101.livejournal.com]

They were lost and lonely souls together; sometimes content to wander alone with each other, sometimes taking refuge in the arms of the other. Harry and Luna never wanted each other, but needed instead the companionship of a matching sorrow. They always complimented each other so well in their meanders.

Greek mythology, Andromache/Helen, one night (with no regrets)

[betonyb.livejournal.com]

To heartsick Andromache, it seems they've only just extinguished Paris's funeral pyres (so soon after Hektor's) when Priam decrees a grand celebration for Helen and Deiphobus's marriage, the better to raise morale for a city realizing it's on the verge of disaster. Andromache's contribution is limited to holding Astaynx close and disinterestedly supervising what servants they can spare from the battlefield; she is ashamed of not doing more, but too weary to feel anything but regret.

But the night before the wedding, Helen comes to her, takes her hand, says simply: "for comfort"; and this much, at least, Andromache can allow them both.

The Hour, Bel/Marnie, closer

[autumnia]

I loved this show; so sad it was cancelled!

They sat in the back of the pub, nursing identical drinks and uncaring if their normally pressed and proper clothes appeared slightly out of sorts. It wasn't the type of place Marnie frequently visited but it suited her gloomy mood perfectly and unlike El Paradis, she was certain Hector would not come looking for either his wife or his boss (and sometime fling) here.

"So," Bel's voice drew Marnie from her thoughts and the other woman sounded just as tired as she was, "what did Hector do this time?"
