    Summary

    A series of Root, Shaw, Shoot 'missing scenes' ficlets that are in no particular order and will be updated as I want to write them. Please be aware that while these are loosely connected, I'm also looking at this as a chance to explore different ways of writing, formatting, playing around with tenses, lengths, etc, so they might not read consistently.

    It'll probably be a lot of angst, but I'm sure I'll switch it up sometimes!

    Summary

    "Martine stands above her, gun pointed at Root’s head and her finger on the trigger, but all Root can look at is Shaw, standing at the cage, gaping at her, silent. Shaw holds her eye contact, and it’s right then that Root really knows she’s going to die."

    What if Root had taken the bullets in If-Then-Else? What if Shaw had been left to deal with the aftermath? A canon-divergent AU from 4.11 onward.

    Summary

    An unexpected visitor presents Sherlock Holmes with evidence that Oscorp is planning to pass off all responsibility for their crimes and mistakes onto the product of one such accident - Spider-Man.

    Summary

    What it says on the tin. Short fics, tumblr prompts, kink meme fills, things I can't justify posting separately. Please heed warnings and see chapter notes for information on content, pairings, spoilers, etc.

    Seriously, read the warnings. This collection runs the gamut from gen to fluff to gross problematic porn and deathfic.

    Summary

    The looped structure of If-Then-Else is impossible to ignore. The simplified simulation lampoons the common elements but otherwise, it's the variable elements that stand out. Of these, Shaw's trials with the would-be suicide-bomber are some of the most dramatic. Her repeated attempts to defuse his rage and despair tie into the episode's titular theme of choices and consequences, as well as into the show's continued exploration of empathy.

    Summary

    'Maybe in another world she would have left with Tomas. In another she might never have ended up working with Finch and Reese. She might never have had that first encounter with Root, a burning iron inches away from her chest.

    This world, it is becoming rapidly apparent, is collapsing. It would be understandable to wish for another one.

    But somehow, with the city lights illuminating the room, and the feel of Root’s (poorly concealed) smile as she kisses her, she can’t bring herself to care right now.'

    Summary

    "The only time she feels alive is when Shaw’s hands are on her skin, when she’s tugging her closer but knowing that it’ll never quite be close enough, this will never be enough but she knows that with Shaw this is all she’ll ever get so she’ll take it." The evolution of Root and Shaw's relationship, told in three parts.

    Summary

    "Chess is just a game. Real people aren't pieces. And you can't assign more value to some of them than to others. Not to me. Not to anyone."
    Just my take on one of the options which could have been shown in If-Then-Else.
