From queenbookwench - "Due South: an interaction between Inspector Thatcher and Captain Welsh."

---------------------------------

It's been a helluva day.

Captain Harding Welsh slumps back in his chair and stares at the mountain of paperwork on his desk. Technically, it's a mountain range: peak one belongs to a Canadian Mountie, peak two belongs to a certain wiseass cop, and peak three somehow, somehow, is all about a wolf.

Why? Why the wolf on top of everything else? Weren't the mountie and the idiot enough for one captain to handle without a wolf, too?

The door to his office opens decisively. That's his first clue - his detectives usually either creep in in anticipation of being yelled at or barge in doing the yelling themselves. But a civilised middle ground - that's unusual. That's Canadian.

Sure enough, it's a Canadian. Not the one he was expecting, though.

He raises his eyebrows as Inspector Thatcher comes to stand in front of his desk. He never really wants to handle international diplomacy, but today he's feeling particularly ambivalent about it. That would be due to the fourth peak of paperwork, which is all about how somehow a mountie, a cop, and a wolf got sent to a mall opening and ended up busting a drug ring smuggling drugs in rubber ducks, which then somehow ended up shutting down two major intersections and personally traumatizing the nephew of the chief commissioner.

"Inspector. Not that I don't -"

She slams a full bottle of whiskey down on the desk. "If you speak to me I will leave and take this bottle with me."

Ah yes, that's right. The nephew of the chief commissioner had been escorting the Canadian ambassador's daughter.

Wordlessly, he digs two glasses out of his desk drawer and puts them next to the bottle. Thatcher pours them both a glass and slumps down in his guest chair.

For a long moment there's beautiful, wonderful silence.

"Why the wolf, though?" Thatcher says sadly under her breath.

Harding will drink to that.

TITLE: Darkness, Flooded In Light
FANDOM: Thor (movie)
RATING: R
SUMMARY: “When much is taken, something is returned.” - Terry Pratchett, Nation
Loki falls. Injured and unable to access his magic, he must struggle to restore himself physically and mentally before the Bifrost is repaired and Asgard comes to find him. That alone would be difficult enough, but some of Asgard’s deepest secrets have followed him...
CATEGORY: Angst, AU, Fix-it, Hurt/Comfort
AUTHOR’S NOTE: The title comes from the song ‘Head Full of Doubt/Road Full of Promise’ by the Avett Brothers, specifically from the lines “There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light / In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right.”
WARNING: This story deals with the recovery from trauma and includes a few of the many ways people develop to deal with that, so it may be triggering or upsetting to read depending on your background. I have tried to be both sensitive and realistic, but if I’ve gotten anything wrong please let me know. Also, Chapter 16 may be upsetting for parents.

Beta credit goes to the incomparable Xparrot, who deserves flowers and candy and the Norse deity of her choice for getting me through this monster!

DARKNESS, FLOODED IN LIGHT

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Chapter 13 Chapter 14 Chapter 15 Chapter 16 Chapter 17 Chapter 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20

TITLE: One Eye For Wisdom
FANDOM: Thor (movie), Avengers (movie)
RATING: R
SUMMARY: Even in the ravings of a madman there can be found a glimmer of truth.
CATEGORY: dark, missing scene
SPOILERS: Thor, Avengers
AUTHOR’S NOTE: The title of this story is taken from the old legend about Odin trading one of his eyes for the Wisdom of Ages. The movie, of course, implies that Odin’s eye was lost during the war with Jotunheim, but I decided to borrow from mythology in this case.
DISCLAIMER: On a scale of One to Not Mine, these characters are Not Mine. They belong to a lot of terribly important and official people who work for big companies and get salaries and basically aren’t me. Suing me for copyright infringement would be pointless and unprofitable, I swear. A Jotun once bit my sister.

( One Eye For Wisdom )

FANDOM: White Collar
RATING: PG
CATEGORY: angst, humour, hurt/comfort
SUMMARY: Peter would laugh to hear him say it, but Neal Caffrey loves rules.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This was written as part of the Remix Redux challenge, and is a re-imagining of bibliothekara's terrific story Corollary Alpha.

Rule Number One (the Wildcard Remix)

TITLE: Intangible
FANDOM: X-Men 2
RATING: PG 13
SUMMARY: The Professor knows a little girl who can walk through walls.
CATEGORY: Missing scene, character study
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This was originally a scene in a much longer story I had planned to write. The larger story never quite materialised the way I wanted it to, but this bit works as a one-shot and I was rather fond of it so I decided to go ahead and put it out there. Enjoy!
