Death Doesn't Dream (9/9)

Far too sudden, she's being forced onto her back with the cold ground beneath her. Hands holding her down by the shoulders. She groans, blinks, looks up at who the fuck just saved her life but is also kind of manhandling her to the ground. Brown intense eyes, lips set into a frown and oh, she's pretty.

"What on earth were you thinking?" The woman demands, voice sharp, rattling.

Ava adverts her eyes. "I saw a light." She snorts, not helping herself. "That's fucking ironic isn't it? I saw a light and I almost died-"

Or:

Where Ava is dead set on hiking the Halo trail - falls through the ice the very first day and is rescued by a (very hot) woman (by Ava's humble opinion) with her sled dogs.

“I’d kill for you. Please ask me to kill for you.” “No.” Is a top tier ship dynamic no I do not take criticism

The idea of a person being capable of incredibly immoral acts but held in check but their love of their partner sends me every time

[ii-zi]

yes

[joematar]

pairs well with this one

[itsoverfeeling]

ppl on ao3 should use the "this work was inspired by" option more. so many fics out there that put links to other fics in the a/n but theres a better option.....

☝️ use this!!!!!!

[itsoverfeeling]

important addition i forgot that not everyone might know. similar to how ao3 bookmarks work, you can also link to non-ao3 fanworks using this format. so, for instance, if theres some fanart on tumblr that inspired you to write the fic? you can link that fanart to your fic!

A huge, fat W for environmentalists and Greenies. what an achievement

[lumsel]
