The Ramblings Of A Creature Of Hobbit

Prompt 1: Amber
Amber was believed by the Vikings to be the tears of Freyja, their goddess of love and beauty. It symbolises cleansing, healing, protection, renewal; some have believed it to symbolise a resting place for departed souls due to the preserved insects in the resin. It has been used as a talisman for courage and confidence. Amber is one of the birthstones of Taurus as it's known to increase good luck, as well as helping Taurus personalities in their practical ventures.

Okay, full disclosure, the prompt for amber is the one that I came up with, and I suggested it with a particular fandom in mind: Fringe, where for anyone who didn't watch it, amber was used to heal the patches where both universes were starting to break down, in some cases causing people to become trapped and preserved in amber, and it was being hushed up that those preserved were still alive and conscious.

Just a note that this fic is part of the alternate timeline I started working on ages ago as per this fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/2803634/chapters/6294041 - It's part of the same universe, where Walternate's plan succeeded and he did destroy the blue verse, with our Walter being the one to cross over at the end and failing to prevent it. It can stand alone or be read with the other.
