To Conquer Death, You Only Have to Die by SerpentCountess for dante_abigor
Fandoms: Hannibal (TV), King Arthur (2004)
14 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
At one time, a knight dies on the carnage-strewn field of a battle won; in another, one lives in the bloody aftermath of an uncertain confrontation. Suspended between the two: a teacup poised in fickle stalemate with its own destruction.

Put Your Hand in Mine (And Together We'll Climb) by SerpentCountess for OneStarryNight
Fandoms: Crazy Stupid Love (2011)
02 Jul 2026
Tags
Summary
One year into a new relationship and Hannah's issue isn't her boyfriend standing her up or her job search going badly; it's her utter lack of a work-life balance and --- oh, yeah, the fact that her period has somehow gotten waylaid via a one-week pit-stop somewhere decidedly *not* the here and now.
On a related note, it is entirely possible that Hannah is panicking.
(A fic inspired by a prompt from OneStarryNight)
Series
- Part 5 of Overnight Scenes, Dinner and Wine

Summary
The fact of the matter --- beneath the farce and frippery decorating it with all the delicacy of the Prom Committee’s attempt at streamers --- is that Steff knew this was coming.
(or what really should happen after the end of Pretty in Pink because Blane doesn't know how to be honest with himself, let alone anyone else; Steff is a self-destructive little shit; and Andie's canon fantasy isn't nearly as individual as she's supposed to be)

Show Me How You Bleed by SerpentCountess for Sugar_Scrub, dante_abigor
Fandoms: Scream (Movies)
18 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
It’s then — with Maureen Prescott’s blood running down his face and, inevitably, inexorably, into his mouth — that he notices. He’s tasted blood before, if only his own, but this is different. Stronger, in a way: enough to overwhelm his senses with a sharp, meaty tang. Heavier, too. And — oddly, in a way he can’t quite explain — less transient, for it is not enough but it somehow is more, and it settles into his stomach to stoke a hunger he either hasn’t noticed or hasn’t felt until this moment, when all he can think of is getting more, drinking enough, filling the gnawing, violent hollowness of a stomach he hadn’t realised was so empty.
(aka a Scream vampire AU focused on stuilly, but written such that the B-plot is *heavily* implying that Sidney and Tatum are low-key, high-key together)

Tags
Summary
If there is one thing that Cyrus' long and storied career has taught him, it's to have a healthy respect for one's natural gifts.
If there are two, it's that closeness can be exploited.
(aka canon AU where Cyrus departs from canon enough to take a more active role in the plot, Arthur obeys canon by being easily manipulated, Dennis and the narrative continue to hate each other, and Maggie continues being the most competent character in the film; Arthur and Dennis' relationship can be read as gen or slash)

Summary
The knight is kneeling when they arrive.
(or the story of how Muriella gained entrance to Sedgewick Forest and a nymph girlfriend in one fell swoop, ft. angst)

Summary
It started at graduation.
When Jonathan notices something in the background of one of the photos they've taken --- a blur of *something* just barely visible behind them all as they clustered together for a group shot --- he isn't quite sure what he's looking at. He's heard of spirit photography, of course, but it takes a moment to register all the signs that, yes, for some reason, he can see Eddie Munson running away from the camera even though Jonathan's absolutely *certain* he wasn't there when the photo was taken.
Something's going on.
(A fic at the exact junction among the film Shutter, the show Doctor Who, and the show Stranger Things, inspired by SoooMyNamesRebecca. Will be vaguely Steddie in nature as a result)

Fandoms: Tombstone (1993)
03 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
During the storm, Doc finds Wyatt.
(written as slash but could be read as their particular brand of gen just fine, I think)
-

I Ain't Quittin' You by SerpentCountess for Sugar_Scrub, dante_abigor
Fandoms: Night at the Museum (Movies)
02 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
Octavius disappears from the Roman diorama in the aftermath of an assassination attempt, and all the evidence points to Jedediah as being responsible for the attack. He didn't do it, of course, but proof of that is hard to find and, with tensions near boiling point, time is running out.

The moments after Larkin's body vanishes beneath orange-illuminated waves can only be described as numb.

Fandoms: Sonic the Hedgehog (Live Action Universe)
11 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
Stone saw the blast approaching, fierce and unstoppable. Heard the doctor's voice, with resignation enough to eliminate any doubts about the inevitability of his death. Saw the explosion, same as everyone.
Ivo Robotnik is dead.
(aka a post-Sonic-3 fix-it wherein Robotnik did not actually die but Stone does not in fact know this)

As hard decisions are made and even harder truths come to light, can the two beings who saved the world stop their own personal Armageddon, or is this the end of life as they know it?

Summary
In one universe, Darlene Holloway made a deal for power and the world forgot her. In another, it was Duke Keane who made the deal, and only *his* world that forgot him. Yet, if time has shattered once, what's to stop it happening again? What's to stop it from getting put back together *wrong*?
(Aka tragedy + tragedy might not balance out entirely but might make things better all the same)

Tags
Summary
A new serial killer surfaces with an elaborate first murder and an eye on the Chesapeake Ripper's attention and Will Graham's therapy takes a turn.
(An alternate version of season 1 where Will is more down with serial killing than you might expect and nothing spells courtship quite like love-letter homicides)
-

Fandoms: Venom (Marvel Movies)
08 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Eddie makes it to the Statue of Liberty, somehow.
