    Summary

    They say time heals all wounds. Twelve years after Santa Barbara, wounds may not be healed, but they’re certainly less raw.

    Desperation drives Abby and all that remains of the Catalina Fireflies to follow rumors of a person spreading immunity to the cordyceps infection. She isn’t entirely surprised when that person turns out to be Ellie, but it doesn’t make it any easier to ask her for help.

    Against all her preconceptions about the woman, she does.

    By now both of them have learned that the way forward isn’t by chasing the past, or running from it. But when forced to coexist in the same community, they have to at least confront it. For the sake of the people they love, they have to put it behind them once and for all.

    And maybe, for the sake of themselves… build something new between them.

    Summary

    Long version of my short drabble about post-canon Ellabs finding each other again in a small forestside town; how they don't really know how to act around each other at first, being rougher with eachother than they should be; how they walk the fine line between comfort and aggression, until it blurs and they find what's beyond

    Summary

    “You could take up a lover.”
    In a blink, Caitlyn’s eyes blow wide. And wider. Her wife didn’t really say that, did she. She couldn’t. Caitlyn must have misheard.
    “What?”


    A year and a half after the accident that changed both their lives, Caitlyn and her wife face the fact that things might never go back to the way they used to be.

    Summary

    “The motion passes!” Councilor Ferros announces with unrestrained glee. The other Councilors lower their hands, one by one, awaiting someone else to take it from here. Councilors Shoola and Sevika’s hands are last to come down, Sevika’s disappearing into her fraying cloak. Shoola’s lands delicately atop the heavy table. The pointed tips of her gold-wrapped fingers tinkling metallically on the brass.

    The youngest among them, Councilor Arvino, makes the order. “Sheriff,”

    From the gallery, a uniformed figure steps forward. He wears the bronze badge of the office of Sheriff, a provisional title, bestowed upon him as the most senior surviving Enforcer uninjured enough to fill the role.

    “Sheriff Steb,” Councilor Arvino repeats. “Would you initiate procedures to take the former Commander Caitlyn Kiramman into custody as soon as possible.” This is not a question, but a unilateral order.

    The season 3 that never was! References the head canon I established in "The Reason for Everything," also in this series-so read that first or risk confusion!

    Summary

    I think the tags do a pretty good job of describing this fic. As of mid February, this work is complete.

    You can't spell Sevika without Vi...

    -------

    On the day Violet was released from prison, the bus dumped her at the first stop in Zaun, the closest city to Stillwater State Penitentiary, with nothing but the clothes on her back and the few skills she’d managed to develop over the past six years. She was 24 years old and had no idea what to do next.
