    Summary

    Based on a writing prompt I saw:

    https://x.com/KaylaAncrum/status/1748613400010121444

    "Man who falls in love with a sphynx and solves her riddles daily, in spite of the threat to his life.
    The boon he requests every night is to sleep by her side in the warm sand and wake up safe. As he grows old, then forgetful, she reconfigures her riddles to accept any answer."

    I took this in my own direction.

    Summary

    Samuel Dalton was a complete fiction, of course, but that didn't mean that when Sam Reich snuck back upstairs to get tied up in the “out of order” bathroom, the Sam that remained on the monitor, laughing at the contestants, was a pre-recording. And if Brennan, Siobhan and Lou had snorted at the idea of a time-travelling evil magician great-grandfather (for good reason), going in with the actual truth of the matter would have sounded like jumping the shark.
    It sounded bizarre, but the time travel bit was the only part about his new partner in crime that was confirmably real. Admittedly, the jury was still out on “evil”—he gave off a weird vibe at times, but so far, no lines had been crossed, and it had all been funny as hell—so for now, Sam was willing to roll with it. But perhaps most surprisingly, there wasn’t even the possibility of blood relation between Samuel Dalton Reich and the guy who had shown up out of the blue one day with his exact face and a plan to really fuck around with things on Game Changer.
    Yeah, the whole alien thing had really ruled out that particular prospect.
    or:
    game changer gets somewhat more dangerous when sam's doppelganger turns up with ideas.

    Summary

    The singer turned her red-painted pout to the crowd, hamming it up as she crossed the stage. Her backing band wore shabby suits, and her slinky black dress looked like it had come from a costume trunk, a poor person’s idea of what a rich person might wear, but she had a certain jaunty charisma, an infectious smile, and the beginnings of a healthy flush on her cheeks.

    On the edge of the marble dance floor, Sabina closed her eyes and massaged her temples.

     

    In 1966, an ageless vampire known as Sabina encounters the lead singer of a New Jersey-based Halloween novelty band called Vera and the Vamps. Annoyance soon gives way to other emotions.

    Summary

    Don and Kathy would move in together. They would have a dog or two and then inevitably, a small parade of adorable little brats who would call him Uncle Cosmo, and they would spend less and less time with him, not on purpose but busy with the rest of their lives, and ultimately Cosmo would learn to make his peace with it because he’d have no other choice and he would have to try to move on and not live too much in his memories. He could picture it so clearly, he figured if the songwriting gig with Monumental didn’t pan out, he could always return to the backwater circuit with a new act: The Amazing Cosmo of the Cosmos—ladies and gentlemen, he sees the future, he reads the stars, he silently pines for his best married pal and all the while tap dancing!

    Don and Kathy inviting him along on their honeymoon, though—that part was a surprise.

    Summary

    Hello, former Homeworld loyalist/Crystal Gem who has been recently freed from the Corruption! Confused as to what happened on Earth the last 5000 years? (Trust us, you missed a whole lot). Here's a more-or-less accurate guide as to what has happened that turned this former gem colony into what it is today - a blending of Homeworld gem technology (which we can only have so much of on account of how it can weaken the reality around it), human culture (we're still trying to get out a lot of the issues that are coming from that), and Crystal Gem beliefs (which were never something that we all agreed on) without too much clashing between everybody.

    (Trust us, it's still a huge work in progress).

    Summary

    They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.

    But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

    Summary

    A DC universe where moms are awesome and raise their kids right. Now with more melanin and queerness. Also, Gotham's in Michigan and Metropolis is in Connecticut. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Fics are in chronological order but are all standalone.

    A series of short, non-chronological one-shots that take place at varying points during "Spin the Rails". Mostly cut content and deleted scenes that either messed with the flow of the story, or wouldn't fit anywhere else.

    Summary

    "Bloodbending is far older than most historians would like to believe. It is a technique that has been endlessly discovered and rediscovered over countless centuries. In most cases, development of the skill is an act of true desperation. Active practitioners are driven to madness, and inevitably their own ruin, as they are either struck down by themselves or those around them."

    Just a slip, that was all it took. A second too late; she couldn't see his dark blue tunic as he fell from the peak. It was black against black. Too dark. When the clouds shifted, revealing the full moon, Kuvira knew it was over.

    The Red Lotus fell, but the Avatar fell further.

    Summary

    Asami Sato can say no. She can refuse to believe that the world is on the edge of something beyond terror and comprehension. She can reject the possibility that grieving for the death of her father is necessary, as he was already dead to her once before. She can close your eyes, cover her ears and convince herself that everything is fine. That she's fine. Through grinding teeth and a belly full of rage, she's fine.

    All of these problems, these impossible problems with no solution that involve science humanity was never meant to understand, are manageable. Spirit weapons are a terrifying threat, yes, and the fuel for them literally grows on trees, but she can fix it.

    She's Asami Sato, the Engineer. She can fix anything.

    It's in her blood.
