The Amber of the Moment

A collection of one-shots, drabbles, and occasional outtakes of our stories, all written for various reasons. There is no one reason, just as there is no set pairing. Pay attention to A/Ns for pairings, ratings, and story connections.

The title for the story collection - “The Amber of the Moment” - comes from a Kurt Vonnegut quote from Slaughterhouse-Five:

"Well, here we are, Mr. Pilgrim, trapped in the amber of this moment. There is no why."
