Summary
A study of Vanessa and Lucy's relationship after the abduction told from Vanessa's point of view...
Chenford Week 2026
Prompt: outsider POV
---The meaning was clear: You allowed this.
Vanessa didn’t allow anything. Lucy did what she wanted, and in the end all her pushing only pushed her away. However, in her mother’s view it’s clear who’s to blame here, and it’s not her granddaughter because: Parents guide their children.
And Vanessa didn’t.
“Call her,” she said as she indicated for Vanessa to refill her tea, and she did, later in the car, because it is hard to tell her mother no. But the call went straight to voicemail, and she left it at that; she didn’t know what to say anyway. She later found out second-hand how Lucy was doing—from her sister and, ironically, her mother.
Now she can’t call, even though she did, irrationally, right after hanging up, the words ping-ponging around in her brain: “Your daughter has gone missing. It’s very likely she and her boyfriend have been abducted.”

Summary
She's walking and talking like Lucy, most of the time. She's laughing and joking. But then, somehow there's an odd energy to her he doesn't think was there before.
Tim/Lucy, on reciprocity in all things.

Summary
When her stomach finally settles and she’s stopped dry heaving, he picks her up and carries her around to the passenger seat. The glovebox yields an old packet of Kleenex, and he wipes her face off for her while she does her best to help while she’s still uncoordinated from the drugs in her system. After an attempt at taking the tissue ends with her poking herself in the eye, he gently catches her hands and sets them on her lap.
“I’ve got it,” he tells her, and then she just closes her eyes and leans her head back.
He lets her rinse her mouth out and then take a few sips of water, and he waits to make sure it’ll stay down before he buckles her in and leans the seat back so she can sleep more if she wants.
“Happened?” She asks, eyes fluttering open through sheer stubbornness, but he just cups her clammy cheek and kisses her temple.
“I’ll tell you later,” he tells her.
Trusting him, she falls asleep once more.
(alternate ending in which joel tells ellie the truth, and they work it out from there)

Summary
It’s not that Ellie means to stalk the couple she catches lurking in the shadows at 1 in the morning after sneaking out of her dorm because sitting in the room alone was making it hard to breathe, but fellow curfew-breakers can hardly expect privacy. All’s fair in love and rule-breaking or whatever their English teacher said in one of the rare classes when they were learning something not related to FEDRA policy.
And there’s something in the way the man holds his hand out to help pull the woman up over a crumbled brick wall that she just can’t look away from.
There’s a gentleness there despite his size and obvious strength that makes her breath catch for just a second. It’s too far for her to hear what they’re saying, but the woman says something with a little half-smile and presses her hand to the man’s shoulder, and the casual affection of the gesture fills her with a nameless want.
So, trailing them at a distance it is.
(AU in which Ellie follows Joel and Tess around and meets them with no Fireflies involved)

Summary
“I wanted a point of comparison,” she said. “Because he looks at me like he really – loves me, or something.”
“Yeah,” said Jaskier, resigned. “He does that sometimes. Isn’t it a bitch?”
They were half way through the second bottle by now, and their shoulders were touching. She could feel the hard line of Jaskier’s thigh against hers. She was very aware of the chest hair visible at the open neck of his shirt, and how he could probably see down her dress from here. She hadn’t moved to put any distance between them and neither had he.
“Why are we still talking about him? I don’t care about Geralt of Rivia any more,” lied Yennefer.
“Nor do I,” Jaskier lied back.

Summary
The war has not gone well for anyone. The Alliance has three months left before collapse. The Horde is not much better off. With neither victory or death as options, Sylvanas proposes an alternative. A treaty, to ease tensions and open borders, with a political hostage to ensure that both sides stay in line. A marriage with many political implications and Sylvanas would only accept one person. Jaina Proudmoore.
And Jaina Proudmoore made for the perfect hostage. If the Alliance moves wrong, Jaina dies. The Horde attacks, and Jaina reduces Orgrimmar to a wisp of a memory in the minds of children.
Of course, no one expected Sylvanas and Jaina to be anything more than uneasy partners with each other, least of all Sylvanas and Jaina...

Summary
A decade has passed since the disappearance of Prince Arthas in Northrend. Now whispers of the dead rising from their graves, and attacking the living sweep across Lordaeron.
Terrified refugees flee in all directions, many seeking asylum in the northern kingdom of Quel’thalas.
Yet they find themselves turned away. King Anasterian Sunstrider does not believe the rumours. As such, Ranger-General Sylvanas Windrunner is under strict orders to turn away any humans at the border.
Soon, the flood of refugees becomes a trickle, and then nothing.
In Dalaran, the Kirin Tor struggle to maintain a collapsing portal system. They sense strange magic in the air, but are unable to pinpoint its cause.
Jaina Proudmoore is plagued by nightmares of Northrend, and the horrors she witnessed years ago. Wounds she received in the frozen wastes now ache as if fresh, and she cannot shake the sinister sensation that doom has come to the Eastern Kingdoms.
Clouds gather on the horizon, and a cold, unrelenting rain falls on kingdoms bordering Lordaeron. Ominous winds carrying a bitter chill wash over the Eastern Kingdoms, and a whisper of doom is spoken to the unawares people.

Summary
So a large part of this new fic is what I have in mind as something that could happen in Book 9 (but I also know probably/definitely won’t). I was outlining it to Gotham one night a WHILE back and promised her I’d write it for her and since so much of it fits with various prompts we already have in the drafts, it just made sense to use it here on Imagine.
Also a small disclaimer: I do not read the Daily Lines and in fact, try to avoid them (I prefer passages with full context and like my first read through the book to happen without me getting constantly distracted by my brain jumping up and going, ‘oh, I remember when DG posted this bit,’ or ‘I guess X scene was edited out/down’).

Summary
5 times where Dani didn’t need Malcolm (and 1 time she did)
--
Dani’s been taking care of herself for as long as she can remember. It’s not that she doesn’t have people in her life who aren’t concerned about her; she has relatives, she has friends, she has a work family. It’s not about having a lack of support.It’s about trust and the fact that she doesn’t give it easily. She’s been working to fix it but currently it’s not one of her strong suits. In her experience it’s hard to depend on someone; she’s learned that people leave, that people are far too capable of disappointing her.
It’s because of that she doesn’t let many people in—a defense mechanism, but it’s one that works.

Malcolm’s intimately familiar with the sensation of falling.
But this...this feels like plummeting. Weightless. Disorienting. Panicked. An inevitable descent he has no control over. Helplessly and uselessly grasping at air.

Summary
It was a feather. A really filthy-looking feather - broken and bent, but still wide and about as long as her hand. It was too big to belong to a seagull, and it didn’t make any sense for it to be here, in the middle of the precinct. Ella picked it up, oddly compelled despite the old blood caked on it.
-or-
An exploration of the Ella & Lucifer friendship, in which Ella uses forensics to figure out that he's maybe not a method actor after all. Set after the season 3 finale and after "Boo Normal."

Summary
Excerpt: Karen found half a park bench and claimed it, ignoring the poignant sigh from a grumpy septuagenarian on the other side. She balanced the case files on her lap and started in on her sandwich, looking up occasionally at all the people.
She saw him that day, as she did most days, puzzled together from pieces of strangers. The crew cut off a jogger. The prominent ears off a gangster. The broad shoulders on a business man. Her last three jobs entailed her taking tiny details and cobbling them into one comprehensible picture, it was second nature to her now.
Hello, Frank.
After events at the hospital in Punisher season 2, Karen lives her life trying not to look for a certain vigilante.
