Summary
The war did not end when the fighting stopped.
So’lek carries the weight of survival like a vow, a promise to avenge all he lost. Tamtey carries it like a makeshift weapon with an edge so sharp it cuts her as much as it cuts them. Bound by loss and shaped by violence, they circle one another carefully. Two warriors who know too much about how to endure, but not enough yet about falling back.
As vengeance gives way to protection and attention turns into something harder to ignore, together they begin the slow, painful work of facing what was done to them.
TLDR; in which So’lek and Tamtey tell a story of shared grief, unspoken devotion, and the difficult work of choosing to heal (while Ìley & Amay are being two winged puppies).

Summary
Lena “Warsong” Rabinovich survives the war only to be stranded in the long after. 1945–present: a decade-spanning ghost story where the ghost is a woman who won’t stop living. She buries names, and learns how to be useful instead of happy. Grief becomes a country she knows by heart, Steve gone to the ocean, Bucky to the snow, and Lena lives in the border towns between memory and myth, building quiet safehouses for people the world tries to erase.
Then the news says a star-spangled ghost has stepped out of the ice.
Finding Steve hurts in the way healing always does. It cracks open everything she sealed shut. And when a metal-armed phantom carves a path through her second life, Lena recognizes the shape of the loss before she knows the name of it. Bucky is alive. He doesn’t remember. She does.
This is the story of what grief makes, what love rebuilds, and the stubborn domesticity carved between.

Summary
Rosemary Clarke never planned on finishing high school in Hawkins, Indiana. She definitely didn’t plan on living with her nerdy science-teacher uncle, getting adopted by a bunch of overexcited middle schoolers, or forming an uneasy co-babysitter alliance with Steve Harrington of all people.
But Hawkins is stranger than it looks, and normal keeps slipping through Rose’s fingers. Between Dungeons & Dragons nights, suspicious happenings no one can explain, and one ex–golden boy trying very hard to be better than he was, Rose finds herself building a new life out of grief, bad jokes, and late-night car rides.
There is too much hairspray, cryptic small-town mysteries no one quite wants to name out loud, and two reluctant babysitters who keep ending up on the same side of things. Rose and Steve are determined not to talk about the way they fit together in a crisis… or the quiet, inconvenient feelings that start growing in between monsters, math homework, and middle school dances.

Summary
Tamtey's favorite color is purple but her life is defined by red.
It has followed her from birth, to theft, to freedom. She cannot escape the blood, no matter how hard she tries. She knows it will follow her into death.
But perhaps not all red spells her doom and perhaps there are other colors that may define her.
A retelling of the Game Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora with my own little spin. Partially faithful but with an added romance between Tamtey and So'lek, more changes can and will come. Def in progress. Will go into both DLCs and probably the newest expansion though I can't promise canon compliance there.
