the heavens align

the heavens align by LadyCharity (one-shot, complete - 7,000 words)

Fandom: Dark (2017 Netflix)

Relationships: Gen

Summary:

Her face screws, and suddenly she begins to laugh. Because it is so absurd that she is crying over a dream child when her son is growing inside of her. That she will fret over the fate and wellbeing of a figment of her imagination. She sobs and laughs simultaneously until Torben wakes up bewildered, and when she tries to tell him that nothing is wrong, she wails. “I think I’ve lost someone,” she finally chokes out. “But I don’t think they exist.” In which Hannah breaks the cycle.

Notes: of all characters you want to have a happy ending, Hannah probably doesn't top the list. but this fic, and her relationship with a son she never had, is beautiful.

Wanderers in the Darkness

Wanderers in the Darkness by falafelfiction (chaptered, complete - 20,000 words)

Fandom: Dark (2017 Netflix)

Relationships: More gen, but includes canonical ships: Hannah/Michael, Hannah/Ulrich, Jonas/Martha

Summary: The day Michael Kahnwald died, seen through the eyes of multiple Winden residents. This fic is intended to read like a sequel to the Season 2 episode 'An Endless Cycle'. Warnings for canonical suicide, grief and trauma.

Notes: writing Dark fic is a difficult prospect because of the content, but by focusing in on a single day, this fic works, so, so hard, and makes all these characters come to life outside of the wild metaphysics.
