  • The Bartender and His Customer: A Series of Drabbles

    Modern AU for Anna and Bates, loosely based on their S1 and S2 courtship. Bates is a bartender in New York City, and Anna is a graduate student and a frequent customer. Each chapter is an opposing, parallel pair of 100-word drabbles.

  • The Little Stowaway

    Just as John and Anna Bates begin to grow concerned about their childlessness, they meet little Henry, an intriguing young rascal from the village who increasingly reminds John of his own childhood, especially as the darker details of Henry's family life come into light. S5 AU. Hints of Molesley-Baxter and Carson-Hughes.
