exit tax season, pursued by stork by PandaFlower

Summary
[“This just lists one male elfling, aged two years.” Fingon peers over the top of the parchment form dubiously, one brow arched as if inviting Maedhros to let him in on the joke any time now. “I thought you said this was a list of what I’d be getting in Himring’s back taxes.”]
In which Maedhros gets very creative about paying taxes after the Bragollach destroyed Himring's coffers. Everyone suffers.

Summary
She was like a blossom on the branch of an old witch elm--slender and red, undulating delicately in an autumn breeze.
Her name, in as much as she had one, was Trypanohyncha Ocellus--trypano, meaning “borer” or “burrower,” hyncha, meaning “face” or “snout,” and ocellus, of course, meaning “eye.” But Kirsh thought of her as Ocella--Cella. His little witch-flower, his little blossom of sinew and blood.
-------------------------------------------
Kirsh and the Eye explore one another -- physically, emotionally, sexually.

Summary
OC set just before and just after the Enterprise B disaster in Generations. Exploring that ship's crew, their motivations, and the political fallout from Kirk's death.
"She stepped forward again, surprising herself with the conviction in her voice. 'I followed the enquiry, you were cleared of all negligence. The panel unanimously concluded the fault was with the Admiralty for rushing preparations. The Enterprise cast off half finished and half crewed. From what I read, you logged protests at being ordered to cast off early ahead of time. You did nothing wrong. The enquiry was a clear stitch-up.'
The advantages that seemed to be afforded to Harriman still irritated her. But on knowing him well from the Academy, Commander Finn couldn’t help but believe his idealism and commitment to the service were genuine. Not just a vehicle to launch a later political career, as so many she knew, who hadn’t met him, had decided. It bothered her more than she expected to see him wounded this way."I'm not a writer and this was written as a pet project purely for my own amusement. Nonetheless - I thought I'd share with this community. Feedback always welcome!

Summary
ISO: Carer to look after my father for 8 weeks this summer.
Dad is 71, early stage Parkinson’s disease, broke his hip 6 weeks ago. No signs of cognitive decline; mostly needs help with household tasks (cooking, light cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping), getting dressed, showering, changing cat litter/general cat care, getting to and from appointments.
Please know what you are getting into; Dad is physically more or less in good health but awful at accepting his limitations, unnecessarily mean, generally uncooperative, and largely nocturnal. Imagine yourself caring for a feral raccoon that is convinced it’s going to write another book, then subtract everything that is cute about raccoons.
$20/hour, roughly 4 hours a day. Must be able to pass a background check and lift 50 lbs. Patience of a saint not required but preferred.- Language:

Summary
Holmes took a few more puffs of his cigarette in contemplative silence, before, in one fluid motion, abruptly stubbing it out and coming to kneel in front of me. He took my hands in his, clasped them gently, but kept his head bowed and refused to meet my eye.
“What I am to tell you next, Watson- what happened- I can barely believe it myself. And indeed, I would quite happily dismiss it as the ravings of a madman, the last hallucinations of the almost-dead, were it not for the nightly evidence of that little scene you just witnessed. But I beg you- doubt me if you will, but hear me first, please.”
The Falls of the Reichenbach are unsurvivable. Sherlock Holmes survives them- at a cost.

Summary
“Shit,” Sam says, staring at the thin golden ring on his finger. He blinks quickly, like he’s pushing through it all: the hangover, the too-bright sunlight, the pure insanity of this moment. Bucky watches the dark curl of his eyelashes, staring for just a second too long.
Sam blinks again, then starts to laugh. “Shit. Well, I guess we’ll have to file for annulment.”
And maybe it’s the leftover buzz of the alcohol, or maybe it’s the way that Sam has started to feel like safety to him, but something makes Bucky blurt it out; he clears his throat and says, “Yeah, or we could just stay married.”

Summary
Let’s talk about a Susan who never moved on, who buried her family in English soil and spent the rest of her life trying to find her way home. She did not believe lions were kind, but she always remembered a bow in her schoolgirl hands.
She looked in every old wardrobe she came across. It was casual, everyday– the first day in a new lecture hall, she checked the back of the coat closet. Friends had her over for Christmas dinner and she excused herself to go the bathroom, checked every cabinet and closet, and then headed back in for pudding. She went home with a cute boy she met in a smoky little pub and she checked his wardrobe before she headed home the next morning, heels in hand.
She also went to college, got a political science degree she had to fight for. She got a byline in the local paper, a few ladies’ magazines, then a larger regional publication.
She had mimosa brunches with friends. She read detective novels, never touched fantasy, and finally one day she stepped through an old stone archway barely thinking about it and–-
She was standing in a treeless plain, all yellow grass and blue blue skies.

Summary
Caranthir sighs, disgusted, and sits on the bed, as far as he can get from Celegorm without appearing like he’s halfway to crawling out of his skin. “I didn’t come back to life so I could hear how much my dying traumatized you.”
“You fucking bastard,” says Celegorm, and lunges.
[When Caranthir is reborn into Valinor, he must deal with everything he left behind in Beleriand- the annoying brothers, the overbearing parents, the family he lost and will never regain.
But there are things that Caranthir does not know. There are lies that have not yet been unwound. There are mercies he has never expected. It takes orange trees, infuriating brothers, silver ribbons and unseasonal thunderstorms, but slowly Caranthir learns precisely how wrong he is.]
