Fics like Saving June

Everything changes for Serena Waterford the day Aunt Lydia decided to teach the Handmaids a lesson by staging a mass hanging in Fenway Park. Offred, (June), Serena's Handmaid, is pregnant, and Serena will stop at nothing to save her and her baby. Four days alone in a hospital room, and sharing Serena's bedroom at the Waterford's for several weeks, causes inevitable changes in their previously antagonistic and sometimes violent relationship. June holds a mirror up to Serena and she doesn't like what she sees. She sees what she might be without the need for bitterness and loneliness in her life. Gilead has lost it's shine, and they both need to escape, for themselves and the baby June carries. The story is long and takes them on a journey inside themselves, as well as outside the borders. Tragedy can't seem to escape them--but neither can the miracles. This piece diverges from canon quite substantially, and that is the intention.
