Rating: PG-13; het
Warnings/Notes: Canon-divergent AU, from 2.12 "Paradise Lost." Titled from a quote from the episode. I've been promising this one for months; here it is! :)

Summary: It might not be the time to act on the realisations he'd lately made, but Ichabod would not pretend the emotions didn't exist; that was how he had ended up failing her before. And not a particle of his being wanted Abigail Mills to think she wasn't wanted. 21,400 words.

Abbie Mills/Ichabod Crane; 300 words. AU post-Season 2.

Yeah, no. Abbie wasn't going to let Crane just go on walkabout without her.

He wasn't looking away anymore; wasn't fidgeting, or hastily bringing up his connection to some other woman, or making some flirtatious affirming reference to their bond before turning away to research the current villain.

PG-13; Sleepy Hollow (tv); 4400 words. S2 Canon Divergence AU/Time Travel Fix-It.

What had Grace said? The greater magics never interacted without consequences? Somehow Abbie's travel back to the present had stumbled right over the day they'd ripped that first gate into Purgatory.

T/PG-13; Sleepy Hollow S2 divergence; Ichabod/Abbie & Ichabod/Katrina. For

hetswap.

Abbie had only known Ichabod Crane for a little over a year, but over the course of that year he'd made himself a fundamental part of who she'd become ... which, given the prophecy at hand, could potentially be a problem.

PG-13; Sleepy Hollow (tv); 3000 words. Timey-Wimey Canon Divergence AU.

Grace Abigail Mills in 1781 had been fierce, determined, a force of nature; Lieutenant Mills of 2015 was still all of those things, but also, Ichabod was not surprised to find, a woman of deep heart and spirit as well.

PG-13; Sleepy Hollow/B:tVS; 5000 words. AU for SH 1.6, "The Sin Eater". Originally posted in three parts at

twistedshorts.

How could she have believed that anything that appeared to her in Purgatory of its own volition could show her how to work against the one who ruled that realm? What thorn would Katrina be sending to her husband's bosom, if she allowed her desperation to drive her into the thicket of Moloch's manipulations? Surely there must be an alternative....

Warnings/Notes: A canon divergence story, breaking away at the end of Season 1/beginning of Season 2. In which Ichabod stops to ask a question in Purgatory....

Summary: No amount of linguistic detachment could ever now change the fact that regardless of his feelings on the subject, Ichabod had, when put to the question, chosen her partnership over his marriage. 23,000 words.

Frank Irving looked down at the card, then dialed the 1-800 number on its face. Which had come first, the group from the cheesy teenage horror show, or the esoteric cleanup company currently using its name? Whichever, he didn't care, as long as they lived up to their billing.

Warnings/Notes: A mid-Season 3 fix-it/divergence story, breaking away at the end of 3.8, "Novus Ordo Seclorum". In which Ichabod reacts just a little bit faster, and everything changes. Titled for the U2 song.

Summary: There they were, literally the only two people in the world. Abbie didn't know whether to view that as an opportunity to breach the distance, or a torturous exercise in being constantly within arm's reach of what she desperately wanted and couldn't have. 18,200 words.
