Author's Summary:
"So, I think we should get married."

Peter chokes, fumbles for a second, then manages to set his mug of tea down on the coffee table. He turns to look at Stiles, who is sprawled over the end of the couch, flipping through an old book.

"What?" Peter asks.

Stiles turns bright amber eyes on the stunned werewolf. "We should get married."

“Why?”

“So all the books can be in one place.”

Review:
OMG this fic is adorable - pretty much the best ace ship fic I've found in a long time. Unlike a lot of Stiles/Peter, it's not creepy in the least - it's set up well in the future (Peter and Stiles are both college professors by this time) and Peter has a bit of a demented sense of humor but isn't insane/homicidal/feral so no worries there. The first dozen paragraphs or so, don't get freaked out by what sounds like the start of seriously cheesy bad!fic - just trust that this is going to work out to a good fic because it really, really does. It just throws you in to an established future where Stiles and Peter have been the pack's Research Team for so long that they've dealt with the canon issues, become friends, etc. There's the ace shipping in this fic, plus the Stiles and Peter pranking their less observant packmates - it's just a really sweet fic. I think the best part though is how wonderfully the author has shown the feelings between Peter and Stiles - I wish more fic writers would show the feelings between romantic partners more like this even in non-ace ship fics.

Author's Summary:
It began, or rather continued because nothing ever truly ends or begins, with a man who grew old but didn’t age. He was standing in a building that wasn’t ever built and looked out to a world that would never turn.

Review:
How did this fic sit on my ereader for so long and not get read?! This is an amazing fic with epic plot and some seriously clever twisting of notoriously-unlogical Whoniverse canon into shapes that actually make sense. I won't say this fic is without faults and a few teeny tiny plot holes of its own but it's so very good anyways.

So this fic is a Miracle Day AU that doesn't just reject canon reality and substitute fan's ship of choice - but wait, don't run away yet! I hated Miracle Day and this fic actually changed my mind about it a little bit - if this fic were Season 5, it would all be okay again.

Basically, Ianto and Amy and a Time Agent OC - who fits very nicely into the spectrum of dis-functionality of other Time Agents we know from canon - end up trapped in the Time Agency after it was destroyed and have to figure out why they're there, why they can't leave, why they all remember different timelines, and, once that's sorted, how they're going to stop reality from falling apart while also saving the human race from The Miracle. It really is an amazing fic. There's only one problem I have with this fic and that's that the villain's accomplice (who I can't name without spoiling) starts out alright but becomes very one dimensional in the end - this, as you will understand, might actually be considered a plus to some fans, but to me it could have been a little less heavy-handed at least. I actually loved the villain himself though - zero complaints there.
