Padma/Pansy through the years. "She feels Pansy's eyes on her. She simply tilts her head back and, for an instant, meets her gaze. Then she glances away, dismissively, as though there's nothing to be seen there. It'll have Pansy seething for hours. This is the war they wage against each other."

This is when the thought crosses her mind, not in something as crude as words or limited has as images, but just the concept, the truth, the truth she's been told so many times but has never really sunk in: "Where doesn't matter."

Abigail, age 26. "Fine is a continuum. A spectrum. Fine has everything to do with coming to terms with the intolerable things in your life. Abigail is fine."

Sherlock gets an unusual case tip via his website; not a week later, he's in America, surrounded by film students who are convinced of supernatural intervention in their lives. "Sherlock," John starts. The look in Wilkerson's eye, the dead, focused fury, it strikes Sherlock as a familiar darkness. He wants to know. "I'm bored," he warns John.

A night of firsts. Dee is kind of into Cas, Cas is kind of into Dee, and he's probably going to be dead tomorrow. About as fluffy and shippy as an AU of 5x03 "Free to Be You And Me" can get. For the prompt "always-a-girl!Dean/Cas, the first time they...(author's choice)."

The Third Doctor is trapped on Earth, and muses on his circumstances. "He doesn't feel like the Doctor today.
