Summary
A collection of one-shots involving my main OC JD-13 and his 3 buddies. Will add to this as I write more. This is the world's first exposure to the utter plague that is my Murder Drones OCs. Expect... a lot of things, but if you have criticism, I would love to hear it. And, if you hate it, I don't blame you and completely understand. I will try to respond to all comments if I can. Expect an entirely inconsistent update schedule. Suggestions for one-shots and full stories welcome.

Summary
We have crossed paths once more, but it is not your soul in which I have fallen in love with this time.
A continuation of Gilded Lily, if you haven't read it I'd recommend reading it first, it helps make this story make more sense -

Summary
These were the best days he had ever lived. When he had gathered the courage to peek outside and swim a little while being extremely cautious, he noticed two big crabs already dead resting on the ground.
That was not many days before he understood the situation: he was clearly feeding on someone else’s scraps. He had even smelt the Burnt-Strong-Stone-Warm smell belonging to the individual one day.
There’s no hiding that he obviously panicked at first, then, when he got calmer he tried to assess the situation he was in: to him, it was obvious that this scent belonged to a strong and big volcanic siren.
Maybe, if he ate a little more and took advantage of the lack of presence of the other individual near the cave, he could stay a little more? Just a little. But still, that was always better than dying from hunger. The siren wouldn’t even want to find him, as they clearly had previously shown no interest in him until now, right?–
or; a small siren learns what care is after living in an abusive pod :) -

Summary
“Oh, one day we'll get drunk together and trade old childhood war stories,” Rook says flippantly, in a gallant effort to break the tension. “I'm sure Tevinter blood mages are just as inventive with raising children as a Crow.” There's a jesting tone to her voice, but Lucanis recognizes a small, nearly imperceptible quaver. She'll hide it, make jokes about it, but there is a bone-deep fear there under her voice he's been trained to listen for. To find the vulnerabilities in a mark. He would never use this against Rook, but his training, too, is bone-deep.
Rook and Lucanis are more traumatized by their pasts before the Lighthouse than either would care to admit to. Slavery, Crow training, the Ossuary. Emmrich reaches out to both of them, and against the odds, they all manage to fall for each other and perhaps even heal each other along the way.

Summary
Loyalty only gets you so far. Bend a knee too many times to far too many, and soon, you may find yourself unable to stand back up, lifting your head to the chaos of war-- of your men scattered, your friends disemboweled. Laid apart like the shattering of glass.
In a world steeped in misery and suffering, in strife and futility, there's only one Tarnished left who can still see Grace. It's fickle, it's artificial, and it's bearer is one of strange, unnatural origin. He should not be here, his existence is but a mockery to Marika's Golden... And yet, she chose him amongst thousands. Unexplained, Tiamat forges onward, seeking a prize more precious than a meager ring.

Summary
Heartbreak and hockey don't mix.
Boston's Ilya Rozanov decides to do what he'd been putting off for years. He calls off his affair with Shane Hollander, Montreal extraordinaire, right before a Montreal vs Boston game. He gets a hockey puck shot right into his hamstring for it. Right in the middle of the game. Honestly, he never guessed Hollander had it in him to be vindictive.
As for Shane...it works. He didn’t want to see Rozanov anymore. In this game. In this season. And now Ilya’s out. Ball and chained to healing and recovery, pain meds and physical therapy for the next year. Maybe when Rozanov comes back, Shane will be able to stomach breathing the same air as him again.
And Rozanov will be back. That much is guaranteed. Shane just fails to measure how back Ilya Rozanov will be. If he thought Rozanov was a nightmare on the ice before his injury, he’s got a reckoning coming.

Summary
Netzknochen returns!
One year has passed since Ojo's defeat at the hands of a leather-clad, spider-themed hero, and her name has only gotten bigger around Lübeck.
Working her way through college with the help of her parents and the undying support of her best friend, Mandy, Ilse Schüler must find the correct balance between being a hero and being a person. She's not very good at it, until along comes a slithering second-skin of alien flesh, which binds itself to her in the night and makes her the best version of herself she could be. Gone are her brittle bones, gone is her filter; she is herself, loud and proud, except better.
Where is too far, though? When does pride become arrogance, and where does arrogance become megalomania?
Can Ilse get a hold of herself before she does something she'll regret? What happens when she tells her alien symbiote no? What do the people of her city, who respect her so, think of her after she goes on a tear of brutal violence in the night?
What does she do if she feels like she's wasted her second chance at life? What if she doesn't want it anymore? Can she leave the mask behind, and just die quietly, or is something always going to pull her back?Series

Summary
After yet another meeting at the Golden Tower, where Jin Guangshan seems unable to breathe just by mentioning Wei Wuxian and repeats like a broken record that he wants both him and the Yin Tiger Seal, the situation explodes. Not content with that, he also demands that the few surviving Wen be handed over to the Jin “for judgment.”
Jiang Cheng has already tried to talk to Wei Wuxian. He came back more frustrated than ever, with zero results and a massive headache. So, for “one last diplomatic attempt,” Jin Guangshan decides to send Lan Xichen and Nie Mingjue. Obviously not because he trusts them, or because he believes in peace at all: he just hopes that Wei Wuxian will make a mistake, even a tiny bit, so as to have the perfect pretext for an attack.
Lan Xichen leaves full of optimism, Nie Mingjue with a headache. At the Funeral Mountains they find no armies or living corpses, but elder Wen men tending the fields. The only thing they don't find... is Wei Wuxian. Instead, they discover that he is in Yiling every day, at the inn he opened with the few surviving Wen. And perhaps, between steaming soup and unexpected smiles, something could warm them much more than their stomachs.
