    2018: I have left these stories up despite their well-intentioned but oft-problematic and insensitively handled elements as I believe they stand as a testament to growth, and for those who managed to enjoy them despite their problems.

    Summary

    Jaina's been living a pretty sub-par life so far, all things considered.
    So after another bad shift at the diner, she shouldn't really be surprised when a truck comes hurtling into the pedestrian crossing. Still, it's a bit of a culture shock when she wakes up on Azeroth, rather than in the hospital or the morgue.
    Even worse, they think she's a Horde spy - one that's taken the Lord Admiral's face, and won't change her ridiculous story no matter what.

    And Sylvanas? Well, it's bad enough letting the Alliance have one Jaina Proudmoore; she's certainly not going to let them have two.

    Summary

    In a heated duel at the height of a losing battle, Jaina casts a last-ditch portal. It's meant to send the Warchief to the center of Alliance command, where she can be subdued and put on trial for her crimes. Unfortunately the portal sends them to another plane entirely—where Jaina, stranded in unfamiliar wilderness and crippled by the magical backlash, finds herself dependent on the assistance of an experienced ranger.

    Mutual need allows them to hammer out a truce, but even that can't keep them from falling back into old habits; once through the shock, neither of them wants to rely on the other, and they're both quite willing to lie, double cross, or otherwise manipulate the other to achieve their own ends. The tentative ceasefire seems doomed to failure, until contact with the residents of this strange new planet makes it horrifyingly clear exactly what kind of civilization they have stumbled upon.

    Suddenly, everything has become simpler—and infinitely more complicated.

    (Or: An archmage and a banshee take it upon themselves to fix Gor by any means necessary.)

    Summary

    A recently-divorced Jaina Proudmoore is taking a break from overseeing the renovation of her soon-to-be-opened bookstore. A convenient time to finally introduce herself to the owner of the art studio across the street. She's watched her through the storefront windows more than she cares to admit, because how could she not? There wasn't really anything else to do in this town, after all.

    That introduction, as inconsequential as Jaina intended for it to be, sets both their lives on a course that feels too perfect for either of them to believe. But Sylvanas has a secret. Sylvanas has so many secrets. Skeletons in her closet that haunt her even now. Even as far away as she's run.

    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.
    “You have nowhere left to run witch!” Calia- once a friend, a sister- “And when I catch you my hounds will glut upon on your heart!”
