So in the end, as the knife plunged into her breast and the many faces turned toward her in terror, as the murmuring rose to a shout and the great heave of water overcame her; she thought with relief that she had finally found the footsteps of a destiny that had followed her all her life. She had done a far better thing than all she had ever done.

Sydney is rescued from the guillotine at the last minute. He soon discovers there is a reason GOD saved him and some terrifying truths will come out

Orlick's brutal attack has reduced Pip's sister to a brain-damaged invalid. What does she see and experience while in one of her "bad states"? A Great Expectations backstory. N.B. I love the works of Charles Dickens, but don't think he liked women very much. Especially the pushy ones.

DC. "Yours is the sort of love that burns until it blackens." (Rosa Dartle/Steerforth, ambiguously-requited, messy angst.)

"He was too used to worship, and too little used to love." (David reflects on Steerforth. Post-canon, or at least, at the very end. Gen. No slash. Angst.)

This story takes place many years after the beloved work which inspired it. I've deliberately placed it here, rather than in its own section. If you review this, please do not reveal the name of the book or the characters mentioned, although I daresay many readers will be able to guess!

An interpretion of Miss Havisham based upon Charles Dickens' Great Expectations and Carol Ann Duffy's poem "Havisham".

Charles dreams about his flower-girl, and soon his dreams come true...

A confrontation between Stryver and Sydney Carton over drinking on the job, Lucie and a certain doppelgänger. Very mild dub-con and slash

David Copperfield. An alternate version of Emily's rescue, in which David actually does something.

I just watched 1958 version of A Tale of Two Cities. Fate of Gabelle and her daughter was so heartbreaking, that I wanted them to get happy ending, and punish horrifying St Evremond more.

Little Lucie is put in La Force for being the daughter of an Evermond. Sydney realizes he has a hard fight on his hands and he may just have to play his ace

Amy Dorrit sees Arthur Clennam for the first time. A double drabble, for a Great Tales challenge. Usual disclaimers.

Whatever happened to Edwin Drood? Does the answer lie in John Jasper's past?

A origin story in a Tale of Two Cities. Find out what really happened to one particular knitter. Oneshot.

The Cricket on the Hearth. The Peerybingles resolved the problems in their marriage, but what happened between Bertha and Mr. Tackleton?

Our Mutual Friend. Eugene Wrayburn is not as indifferent to his rival's suffering as he pretends to be; unfortunately, it takes two to make peace as well as war. Eugene/Lizzie; unrequited Bradley/Lizzie.

This is based on Sydney's last thoughts before his final sacrifice, one of the most beautiful and saddest scenes in A Tale of Two Cities. There's not much else to say; it's all in the poem.

AU where Charles makes a wrong turn on his way to Paris and ends up in Belgium. Sydney goes to save him and learns about Belgian beer (and himself) in the process.

Sydney is granted a second chance to win Lucie's love. Will he succeed this time?

We all know Sydney Carton loved Lucie and her family enough to give his life but when they are in trouble after his death he comes back from heaven to save the day once again. Every odd chapter 1,3,5 told mostly in flashbacks until chapter 13

A series of single, double, and triple drabbles about Dickens's female characters. Usual disclaimers.

Etta is new to the frightening streets of London, but when the Artful Dodger takes pity on her she's swept up into his exciting world of danger, criminality and...love? Dodge x OC. Rated T for too many innuendos .

Edwin Drood, 2012 series. Rosa has a plan to trap the murderer, if only her friends will listen.
