She wonders, sometimes, if it would always have been like this. If she'd answered that call 20 years ago, if she'd called her back, would they have become friends like this. Real friends. It takes four months of dinners, drinks, coffees, before she finally actually asks the question.

Summary
For his part, Perdicus laughed when Gabrielle asked if he wanted to go to Poteidaia for the wedding.
“Where else would we go?” he asked. Again, Gabrielle blushed, and he read her instantly, laughing again, this time with affection plain in his voice. “Same old Gabrielle. We can wait a few days to get home, can’t we? See our families and have them with us? You wouldn’t want us to start our life together on the road, anyway.”
--
Gabrielle and Perdicus go home for the wedding. Xena accompanies them. Callisto doesn't show up. Angst ensues. (Return of Callisto AU.)

Summary
Do you ever wonder what life would be when it’s all over?” she’d asked Cressida one afternoon. They had finished their work early and were now helping themselves to the leftover bits from the strawberry jam.
Cressida remained silent. She did wonder how things would be. Papa would be back home, along with his business partners and their never ending lines of sons she “really must meet”. She’d have to go back too, say goodbye to Mrs. Bridgerton and the farm, say goodbye to Eloise and the futures she’d written down in her journal.
Creloise but its 1940s England and Cressida has been conscripted to work on the Bridgerton farm.

Summary
She tucked the letter carefully into her coat, hands trembling slightly. She could see the edge of the woods now, and the crooked chimney of Whipps Cross rising just above the trees, silvered in the faintest blue of night.
Eloise held her breath. Cressida Cowper was somewhere inside that house.
And Eloise was about to change both their lives.
The carriage pulled to a stop.Or, the one where Eloise climbs through a window with a makeshift rope and a terrible love letter, hoping she’s not too late as she steals away the bride on her wedding day.

Summary
If you had asked Eloise Bridgerton to name the thing she least wanted in all the world, it would be the thing she has now promised to do: escorting Cressida Cowper to the furthest extremity of the kingdom so she can be married to an old man utterly undeserving of her.

Summary
Eloise Bridgerton is trapped in an ice house with the most awful person in the world. The most awful person in the world isn't Napoleon, but the insufferable, vain, and extremely rude Cressida Cowper. Unfortunately, the confined space seems to be having a strange effect on both of them. Eloise can't really explain why what happens next happens next, but nor can she stop thinking about it.

Summary
Cressida’s smile is small, kind, her pale hand warm when she reaches across the table to grip Eloise’s wrist over the cuff of her glove. It’s a gentle touch, there and gone, but the warmth of Cressida’s naked fingers lingers.

Summary
Had she bloody missed someone breaking into her flat?!
“Hah, no,” A smooth and elegant voice came from nowhere and Eloise jumped. Suddenly- She had no need for the caffeine boost as scalding hot tea sloshed over her hands, “What of yours would I possibly want to steal?”
Eloise kept her eyes clenched tightly shut, hoping she might wake up from whatever this dream-
“Not, a dream.”
Her eyes flew open as annoyance flared, what did this thing keep interrupting… Things she hadn’t been saying.
Sure enough, there in the chair across from her was… Something.

Summary
“You look good in my clothes."
“I look good in anything, Kate Bishop,” Yelena says matter-of-factly, grabbing the remote from the top of the dresser before unceremoniously dropping down on top of the covers, making herself at home in Kate’s bed.
Her smile morphs into a more guarded frown when Kate lies down next to her.
"The fact I am in your bed right now does not mean we are going to have sex.”
“Okay,” Kate says, stretching the word. “To be honest I didn’t think we were.”
or
The one where Yelena is a little bit older than Kate; Kate is a double-texter, and Lucky is adorable.

Summary
Of all the places Yelena imagined finding a girlfriend, the dumpsters behind her building were, for some reason, the last place she’d ever think to look. But hey, at least now she can finally get her mother to stop asking why she's still single.
or
Kate is a vigilante with too many injuries to count. Yelena is a former assassin with some questionable first aid skills—that’s almost the same as a doctor, right?
/
Yelena never becomes a contract killer. Kate never puts on the Ronin suit. Years later, their paths cross anyway.Bookmarked by breakingstanding
