    Summary

    It was inevitable if the technology existed that it would be used and it would be abused. Given that, wasn’t it better for Phil to be a part of the Dollhouse, making sure that the Dolls were kept safe, than out there in the world obliviously letting the abuse happen? At least, that’s what he had to tell himself to come to work every morning.

    *

    Phil Lester is a "Handler" at the Dollhouse, an underground organization that offers their elite clientele access to programmable human "Dolls": real people stripped of their memories and re-coded to become the objects of fantasy or nightmare. Phil's job is to protect his assigned Doll, Delta, from those same clients.

    Phil's good at his job, and so is Delta, until someone from the Doll's past life recognizes him in the field. In order to cover it up, the Dollhouse makes an unusual decision: reprogram Delta with his original Personality, at least for a little while.

    And so Daniel Howell wakes up. And nothing is how he expected.

    OR: The Dollhouse AU. Please read the opening Author's Note for further context, but no worries, this fic stands alone from the show, contains no spoilers, and requires no background knowledge.

    Summary

    "Jack certainly hadn't been expecting his husband to bring home a stray. But, he'd taken one look at the kid, bag slung over his arm and looking like a deer in headlights, and knew in an instant they'd be keeping him for a while."

     

    Jack and Robby are the happily married attendings.

    Whitaker is the homeless, broke third-year intern.

    Of course they were always going to take him home.

    Just not like that.

    Right?

    Summary

    Lucius doesn’t remember being born with his mark, but he supposes he must have been. His mother tells him as much, and it’s been there as long as he can remember. And why would she lie, you know? A splotch at first, on his right hip, almost like a birthmark. But he knows, as does his mother, that it is much more.

    And it doesn’t matter much, until suddenly it matters very much—when, not long after his fourteenth birthday, the splotch finally resolves into a word.

    And that word is “bonnet.”

    What does it mean to have a soulmate? How do you go about finding them?

    And what if you never do?
