Summary
AU: In the 1540s, Henry VIII decides to marry his daughter Elizabeth to Charles V's son Philip. Philip is outraged, Elizabeth is terrified, but realpolitik is a harsh mistress. Elizabeth must use all her skills to adapt to such a drastic change in her life, and the pair must find a way to make it work.

Bookmarker's Notes
Marvellously written and psychologically plausible AU for Elizabeth Tudor and Philip of Spain. Also one of the best takes on the „arranged marriage becomes real“ trope using actual historical characters that I‘ve read.

Summary
Maybe, in the end, she would look her up, the sharp-eyed Robinson who’d always seemed to (grudgingly) like having her around. You know. When she wasn’t actively manipulating the children or commandeering the robot or trying to get the husband blown up in space.
It was the grudge, after all, that told her it was real....or maybe Maureen would surprise her, and come back.

Crowley showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world. The Bible recorded some version of this event, but left off the walk down the mountain afterward. Hard to find the right wording for, "And then the son of God befriended a demon. Don't try this at home."

Summary
It isn't quite a love triangle. For one thing, Clark's the only one romantic enough to even think the word 'love'. For another, Clark and Bruce would be beating the holy hell out of each other even without Lois' involvement. And if Lois was aware of the secrets they were keeping, she'd be beating the holy hell out of the both of them. Overall, Bruce's visit to Metropolis has been a mixed bag for everyone involved.

Summary
She doesn't understand. She can see ways the world fits together in minute detail, memorize books just by glancing at them, but she can't explain something so simple as happiness or pain. Sherlock may be slow, but he understands this, at least a bit.
Because there's a difference between knowing facts and being able to process concepts like death or love, and in the end Eurus was still a child and she didn't understand.
