Moiraine opens her eyes and offers Lan a nod. He has also towelled off, and he hangs the cloth near enough to the small fire to dry but not so close that it might catch a spark. He is still naked, aside from the thin leather strips keeping his hair bound, the occasional stray bead of water catching the firelight and throwing back red-gold gleam. He is art, a statue cast in copper and bronze. Then he looks at her and becomes a man again.

After the bath, Lan and Moiraine take a moment to unwind. This is delicious and perfect.

Is anyone surprised that this is the ship I’m drawn to? They’re literally bonded to each other, they’re ride or die, all of which this vid shows it beautifully. (And yes, I know they’re not romantic on the show, but when has that ever stopped me? *g*)

In the blessed silence she could only feel his mind now: focused, surprised, and intrigued. His mind felt both dangerous and breathtakingly beautiful. He pulled at her like nothing else ever had and she got the feeling that it was mutual. A mind like that was a juggernaut, powerful, disciplined, and stubborn. He would never stop until he got what he wanted.

What if he decided he wanted her? She would be possessed completely by his fire and find herself burned to ashes.

Pitch Black fix-it, except they’re Guide and Sentinel…

Wait, What? – Chapter 1, by convolutedConcussion – Wynonna Earp (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

when Dolls comes to her, stony-faced and somber, something about that gets to her because he looks nervous.  She’s never seen that.  Uncertain?  Sure.  Worried?  Totally.  Never hand-wringingly anxious.

Heart hammering hard in her ears, she barely hears him ask her to come to his office.

As soon as she closes the door, he whirls around before she has a chance to ask how they’re all gonna die and says in a rush, “I need you to come to Arizona and be my girlfriend for a few days.”

I will never get tired of fake dating fics, and this one’s just plain lovely.

“Also, we’re here,” he says as they pull in front of an honest-to-god house.  Like, in the middle of town.  Where he has neighbors.

“What,” she says blankly.  Certain this is some kind of trick, she looks around.  “You’re not serious.”  He turns the engine off and cocks a brow at her and she gasps, “Oh my God, you’re serious.  You live right here!  You’ve—you haven’t lived here the whole time?”

Amusement crinkles the corners of his eyes as he replies, “No, I have not lived here the whole time, but I have lived here for a while.”

“Since when?” she demands, feeling a little unreal like the world’s tilted beneath her.

A funny and sweet (and yet completely in-character) first time fic for a ship I have a very real fondness for, even if it was doomed.
