twistedchick
Rating: Gen
Pairings: Helen/Nick, Helen/Stephen, Nick/Claudia Brown
Warnings: canon-level violence, alternate interpretation of canon, anomaly travel, multiple universes

Disclaimer: Primeval isn't mine, but any alternate universes may be.
Length: 9,900 words
Title: The Selkie's Lover
Series: Life, Refracted (part two)
Author:
twistedchick
Pairing: Nick/Helen, Helen/Stephen, Nick/Stephen
Warnings: canon-level violence, possible OC death, multiple universes; unrated but this is not for children.
Summary: Stephen's world is changed, three times over ten years, by luck, love and loss.
Disclaimer: Primeval isn't mine, but any alternate universes may be.
Length: 65,500 words
Notes for both: I am profoundly grateful to the beta readers and Britpickers, without whom this would have been an inexact mess: silicon shaman, writerlibrarian, neotoma, blktauna, alyse, ciann, clanwilliam, zana16.
This story takes certain liberties with the geography and history of Britain (and Europe, as well) but in its (and my) defense I will point out that this may not be the Britain you know, but the ARC-Universe, through the anomalous looking-glass, so to speak. Also, I have borrowed the words of a conversation many years ago with one of the Marines who liberated an international group of nurses who had been held in primitive conditions in a Japanese detainment camp during World War II, and transformed the words into quotes from a nonexistent study; for the sake of confidentiality I will not attributed the quotations further than that.
