Summary
At the end of the worst year of her life, Rory Gilmore is six months pregnant, newly fired from the NYT DC bureau after getting Twitter-cancelled, and still stunned by the election results. At the airport, a couple days before Christmas, as flights get cancelled right and left due to a blizzard, she runs into Paris Geller, who has also had a nightmarish 2016, losing her congressional campaign to a talentless hack she despises and much more in the process.
One thing leads to another and they find themselves in a shared rental car, trying to find a passable route home to Connecticut for the holidays.

Summary
After more than fifty years with Yaz in Sheffield, the Doctor has formed a web of personal connections. Her instinctual move, to disappear without saying goodbye and never return, would hurt a lot of people and disrespect her wife's memory. But old habits are hard to break, especially when you're more than 2100 years old.

Summary
Prompt from Tumblr: "First kiss scenario for Gelphie which starts with Elphie stealing Glinda's pillows to prop herself up whilst reading. When Glinda returns to their room, she decides to play Elphie at her own game and climbs into Elphie's bed rather than arguing." Please R&R - It gives me fuzzies when I get notification emails that I have reviews - you guys are lovely.
