    Summary

    Hunger.

    Sadness.

    Desire.

    Tyranny can’t help what she is. Ancient and aching for pleasures she’d never receive. A destructive force compelled to seek out any source of light and snuff it out - and then there was wick.

    There are many types of aches. This, Tyranny has come to know.

    Summary

    The old septa died in Bitterbridge, in a dark, shuttered room. She had been ailing when they reached the town, plagued by a sharp, nagging cough Dunk did not like the sound of, likely brought on by several days of rainy travel. They had been headed northeast, towards King’s Landing, for the landed knight they had served for the past three years had little need of septas after his daughters came of age to wed.

    Well, Dunk had been more maidservant than septa, it was true, and mayhaps she had never really said the right vows, but it hardly mattered, did it? She wore grey robes, for white showed stains too readily, and carefully veiled her hair, which she kept cropped to her chin to make it easier to tend to. Septa Arla always said a maid of her size would always stand out and attract trouble, so she ought to let the Seven be her shield.

    Summary

    In which Scanlan tells Pike about Polymachina, and Pike takes the joke rather more seriously than he expected. Because Pike loves more than one person, and Pike would quite like the opportunity to be allowed to love them both. And maybe a few more people besides as well. Percy, terrified and self-loathing as he is, needs a little bit of persuasion, but they get there in the end. They're a greedy bunch, after all, one and all.

    Scanlan/Pike/Percy, so-far-unrealised Percy/Vex, and possibly the seeds of Polymachina.

    "I think I'm in love with all of them," Percy says, a little agog.

    "Yeah," Pike agrees, as though it's the obvious reaction.

    Summary

    It's autumn, Year '32. "The Thirties." "The New." "The Disco Years." Whatever you want to call it, Revachol is in the midst of its post-Revolutionary boom--a deceptive era of comparative plenty that will, unbeknownst to its citizens, eventually fizzle and die. The Revachol Citizens Militia is rebranding, restructuring, and recruiting. As part of these efforts, Junior Officer Kim Kitsuragi embarks on a new juvenile delinquent mentor program that takes him beyond the Greater Revachol Industrial Harbor. He meets a young gym teacher named Harry Du Bois while on assignment in Couron. Against the fraught, shifting backdrop of Revachol West, their relationship develops into something neither of them expected.

    VOLITION – It’ll be work, to make you both feel right, but work is all you are. You can do that.

    Summary

    Just off the Interpelagic Highway, 500 km from Revachol West, 50 km from the edge of the Pale, stands the forgotten revolutionary outpost of Ifrania-du-roi, now nothing more than a tiny fishing village.

    Here, two strangers from the RCM find themselves: Disgraced Lt. 2/Y Harry Du Bois, suspended from duty after a disastrous investigation ended in massive bloodshed, and decorated Lt. Kim Kitsuragi, placed on leave after an event he refuses to discuss. But when a dead body turns up on the beach with an unidentifiable injury, and suspicion falls on Harry, the vacation comes to an unceremonious end.

    Casefic, canon-universe but timeline divergent. Aftermath of Martinaise without Kim.

    Summary

    Every piece of the signal Tim unlocked revealed more locks, and by the time he broke through the last one, he was already mentally rehearsing his many upcoming talk show appearances. 'Yes,' he told the interviewer, 'it was difficult for me, a ten-year-old genius, to break open the worldwide alien conspiracy. That's why it took a whole hour.'

    When the crackling audio started, he expected some weird alien language. Maybe squawks and high-pitched squeals mixed with musical woofs. Maybe they wouldn't talk at all, and images would beam directly into his mind. Maybe they'd talk in practiced English with a Midwestern drawl like their other resident alien.

    Instead he heard a low, guttural voice growling out of his computer speakers. "Robin," it said. "Are you in position?"

    Summary

    The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.

    There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.

    “Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

    In the year 2175, humans have been a council species for ten years and quickly become a main stay in Citadel holdings. Salarian art dealer, Ropon Lau, is currently having an infestation with the species left overs. A human duct rat currently haunts not only his work space, but his mental space as well. And it's getting old fast.
