Summary
AU (hopefully) where time isn't fixed, and instead more like Back to the Future, and Maxwell and the rest of the Wind Riders are about to leave to create a world where Torse maybe won't exist.
'"Torse, if this works, and I think it will, then the Corrodi will never come to power. At least, not through Ludmila. Zern will never be at risk."
"A world I would never have been able to dream of before. It will be a kinder world, I think."
"Yes. A world that perhaps will never shape an Aganti Zernai rebel."'

Summary
It's 2017. Blackbeard is a famed thief, whose crew signs on with a tall ship or yacht, scouts out the valuables while the ship sets out for international waters, and then Blackbeard sneaks aboard, ties up the crew, robs them, and leaves. Izzy has just met this incredible ponce of a man who has entered the Transatlantic Tall Ship Regatta with no experience, and Izzy thinks he should be the next target. The ponce, of course, is Stede. One problem: he's already seen Izzy, Fang, and Ivan, so Ed, who hasn't joined a target's crew all season, will have to do it alone.
Another problem: it's love at first sight.

Summary
For challenge #37: NASA's Perseverance Rover and China's Zhurong Rover are on Mars together. Are they bitter rivals? Is there a meet-cute and romance? Is it a love triangle with Ingenuity? Write the fanfic story of their relationship. - Vanessa T.
"Perseverance knew blue.
Ze'd first seen it when ze was young on Earth. It had been a bright colour on lab coats and flags, and best of all the sky. Ze had seen the sky once, when ze had done a field test out in the desert. It had been so bright, with clouds that formed new designs every time ze looked."

Summary
Instead of being sent to Hyperion-8, the crew of The Raza are sent to a different maximum security galactic detention facility: a prison ship. One and Three find themselves handcuffed together and need to work together if they're going to get themselves out of this mess.
“We suck at this.”
“This?” One asked, confused.
“Getting along. Working together.”
“Oh. Yeah.”
“It’s like we’re dancing with two left feet. Except instead of dancing, we’re crawling down hallways handcuffed together with no gravity and no good plan.”

Summary
After the crew lands in Zumhara and the Wind Riders have headed into the city, Torse goes in search of somewhere he can process everything, away from prying eyes. He does not process very well, but he's trying.
Maxwell experiences a perfectly justifiable level of mortal terror when he returns to find his friend missing, and overt declarations of lifelong devotion after 2 weeks of knowing each other is actually kind of a slow burn for Zood, okay?
----
“Why would she...? Oh.” Maxwell stiffens, then blows out a breath. He reaches past Torse’s mantle to clasp his neck, tucks them firmly together, and rhythmically brushes thumb across his vulnerable nape. “Oh, Torse.”His friend’s comfort breaks the dam. “What drove her to save me, when she was comfortable condemning so many to destruction? What had she found worthy of salvation within me that she deemed the rest of my homeworld to be lacking? Why am I not taken apart in the Amphereon, or walking as one of the Naughtomata, or lining the throat of that vile beast?”
Maxwell goes rigid.

Summary
After his confrontation with Shuro, Laios is feeling self-conscious about his monster obsession, and wonders if his friends even like him or if they're faking and giving him signals that everyone but him can see, like Shuro was.
His friends have some things to say about that.
-------
"Looking back on it, the disgusted faces he made whenever Laois had tried to follow him and Falin were clear. The needlessly irritated tone and the back-handed comments… It must have been so obvious to everyone else, yet Laois hadn’t even had the thought that Shuro felt anything but kindness towards him.
He clenched his hands into fists and dug his fingernails into his palms in despair.
But… These people actually do like him, don’t they?"
