Disclaimer: I do not own The Gifted. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. ***** Lorna Dane awoke to the unfortunately frequent sensation of being unfamiliar with her surroundings. Luckily she had learned to prevent her powers from reacting for at least a few minutes as she opened her eyes and she gained her bearings. Then as had been fre...
"Well...fuck me sideways." Mara grumbled, crossing her arms. "You neglected to mention that your best friend was an angel." "Yeah...well, she neglected to mention that to me too." Matt narrowed his eyes into a suspicious glare. "Your wings are really pretty, by the way." "Thank you..." Laila murmured, her cheeks coloring with a subtle blush as she began to...
It was a warm afternoon for the end of October. The sun reflected dramatically in the leaves of our backyard maple tree, and the fiery red matched the cloaks of our centurion costumes. Though their armor was plastic, they looked reasonably realistic. With the tall wooden fence blocking out the rest of the neighborhood, my two housemates looked a lot like a s...
Hi all! Annabelle here with something new! This story was originally going to be a surprise come October, and I was going to upload it once a week until it was done. However, with Covid keeping so many people at home, I wanted you to be able to have something a little extra to read each month in the hopes it would keep you sane. So surprise, this is the Da...
Sally curled her fingers in the soft white sand, digging them in to find the cooler sand below. The scent of sun cream filled her nose and the sun drummed on her skin until it prickled in the heat. The sound of children squealing in the sea rose over the steady crash of waves some way off. Closer, she heard John's mum turn the pages of her book laying beside...

Thanks to blackrandi, sbrooks103x, Bebop03, stev2244 and the ever-so-lovely Nora for the beta reads and editing. This would be unreadable without all of them. There are others who prefer not to be named; you know who you are and you know you ar...
The Cotillion Chapter 1 The biggest event of my young adult life was in a couple of days. This soiree was the most important step into adulthood for me. The cotillion was a little known party that attracted the best, the brightest, the most beautiful, the richest, and was a fantasy for me, and so many others for so long. The cotillion was a semi-secret g...
Big League Dreams: Chapter 03 I started this story a while ago, before COVID-19 and before the likely contraction of baseball's minor leagues. So, it exists in a fantasy world where these things didn't happen. I hope that the quality of the story allows you to ignore that. Also, while I never specifically say what baseball organization is featured, it is ba...
Big Bang Theory Season 14 Chapter 5 As Leonard and Sheldon finished with Dominica Davis in New York, Penny was just waking up in California. She lazily rolled over and found the bed beside her empty. She looked around and there was a note on the nightstand. She read it and a smile crossed her lips, "Good morning sweetie, I had to go to the studio. I have a...
