The Surly Bonds of Earth (1278 words) by Anonymous
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Code Name Verity - Elizabeth Wein, Ballet Shoes - Noel Streatfeild
Rating: Not Rated
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Maddie Brodatt, Petrova Fossil
Summary:
Sometimes you run into the person you need to meet.
Note: This is set post-Code Name Verity so it has spoilers for the book! If you're planning to read CNV, go do that first. It's one of those books that really benefits from being unspoiled.
Pay attention to the warning in the summary - I agree with the author that it's best read unspoiled. Code Name Verity wasn't my favorite book of the year (though everyone else seems to adore it) but this story made me realise I liked it better than I thought I did.

Another take on "the problem of Susan" and one that makes perfect sense to me.

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Batgirl (Comics), Doctor Who, DCU - Comicverse
Rating: General Audiences

Summary:
“You not existing is a major screw-up on the part of the universe, Stephanie Brown,” the Doctor says.
Trust the Doctor to fix things. Or something. Now if he could only do something about the lack of Stephanie Brown in the comics.
As you may notice, I tackled the archive from Z to 1. I'm sure I missed some - I've barely scratched the surface of the archive.
