Summary
In his dreams, his beloved is always wearing white — an apparition of light in his darkened room. And he is always on his knees — on the floor, on a kneeler, it does not matter — his head bowed in reverence. And then his beloved descends, from the heavens, from the skies, floating in his white garments.
//
title and fic inspired by the second chapter of the song of solomon

Summary
The scene is painted with overflowing love and devotion, he feels like he’s not meant to peek at all. Her hair is mussed by wind, but the painter paints every hair out of place as if it were meant to be there. She is more than a muse, he concludes. More than a muse for the artist has drawn and painted her, chosen his colors for hours on end, as if she were the only person in the world who could hold such beauty and grace and love.

Summary
My mother used to tell me the story of lightning and thunder. The way that Thunder hadn't been Thunder and Lightning hadn't been Lightning. But mortals. Roaming the earth just like us. She told me of Lightning and her bright crackle and Thunder, with his booming voice. And it was Lightning who made him see the light. And when he did see the light... All he saw was her.

Summary
“Martha?”
“Yes?” She manages to say once she’s sure Karen is well tucked under her blanket.
“I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love how you always make me smile. And I love the way you care so much for everyone around you. But most of all, I love how you make bacon and pancakes in the morning. I love you, Martha. I really do.”
She doesn’t look into Karen’s eyes once, only smooths the invisible wrinkles on the blanket covering the end of the bed. Karen was drunk, she reminds herself.

Summary
Her eyes are familiar but he can't quite place why. Or where he's seen her before. Of course he hasn't. Because he's so sure he would remember her—the lilt of her voice. The gold of her hair. But suppose they have? And they have. Perhaps in another life? Because one lifetime isn't enough for him to love her. Soulmate A/U based on Taylor Swift's Invisible String!

Summary
She couldn’t possibly be one of them, she thinks, because that would mean being like Mary Poppins. And she wasn’t anything like Mary Poppins.
But still, she shows up at Mary Poppins’ door in the early hours of the morning—when all the house is asleep, but she. And she knocks. And Mary Poppins opens the door—properly dressed for the day, and prim and poised.
“Good morning, Mrs. Banks,” Mary Poppins says.
Winifred’s mind is reeling, and all she manages to blurt is—
“I want you to teach me.”
[Magical Winifred? Oh, the possibilities!]
