Summary
There’s a ball of ice in his belly. Always been there, but some days it’s bigger‘n harder‘n colder than others. The first time it grew so big that it choked him was back when he was nine, and his daddy was laughing at a man in a ditch, holding Ennis by the neck so he couldn’t look away.
A kind-of novelization of Brokeback Mountain from Ennis' point of view. Strong focus on Ennis's anxiety and his feelings of lust and love, represented metaphorically because that boy is too repressed for anything else.

Summary
Jack set off for Signal the day before, just in case. Broke down when he stopped for gas. Didn’t even turn it off, and that damn engine idled itself to death. He and a coupla truckers got it going again, gave him ample opportunity to break down ‘bout an hour outside a Signal. Took a snooze on the shoulder, figured he could hitch if he needed to. Route 26 was busy enough. But salvation came once again in the form of a family asking for directions, and he putted the rest of the way to Aguirre’s just to break down in the damn parking lot.
Novelization of Brokeback mountain from Jack's POV. Strong focus on Jack falling for Ennis, how Jack cares for Ennis, and how he tries to help Ennis open up and truly be himself. Represented metaphorically because Jack's got a colorful way of thinking.
This is a companion fic to to be warm.

Summary
A pair of Brokeback Mountain "novelization" fanfics. They are written in third person POV either Ennis's perspective (to be warm) or Jack's (to dream).
"Novelization" is in quotes since each work combines parts of the movie, the short story, the script, a pdf of missing scenes, and my own headcanon. Further, each work focuses on what Ennis and Jack would personally care about, prioritize, think about. Their motivations, hopes, dreams, and fears. The things they hyperfixate on or avoid. The ways they feel loved. The ways they feel misunderstood or ignored. They are not independent novelizations that can be read in place of watching the movie: they are most definitely fanfic.
I think they're read best alternating between the two POV's, chapter-by-chapter, but I understand if you prefer to do all of one then all of the other. Each POV has its strengths, and I love them both deeply.

Summary
"Young men are so confident that there will always be more time, later... Old men know better. We remember all the times when we thought there would be more time, and there wasn’t. All the things I thought I would say to your father, someday, remain in my heart, unsaid."
Three generations of Farseers. Three friendships that defy expectation and understanding. Three men, both young and old, with so much left to say.

Summary
The wind whispers to those who listen, as do the rain and the worms. They whisper of a foolish king and a merciless deity. They whisper about the slow decay of the world and the rebirth of all things.
They whisper that, during the Great Purge, Uther trapped a being no mortal was ever meant to trap. He bound it in the deepest cave of his kingdom and atop the highest peak of his land.
And the rain whispers: fear not, for only mortals remain bound forever. The seasons will come and go, the world will freeze and the snow will melt. And one day, Emrys will be free once more. Magic will walk the Earth anew.
◊◊ ◊◊ ◊◊
Arthur is in love. Merlin is tired. And Mordred will free Emrys, no matter the cost.
[Emrys revealed - Good!Mordred]

Summary
'I sighed, bracing for the words I foolishly and pettily did not wish to speak into reality.
“If I have left you unsatisfied, you might have simply told me about it,” I managed through gritted teeth. “I could have done something. I’m not so loutish that I would begrudge you that.”
He turned to face me again, a noticeable frown marring his soft features. In this light, his downy brows nearly blended into his complexion.
“Unsatisfied?” His tone bordered on disbelief. My chest swelled with an exasperated breath at his feigned obliviousness.
“You know of what I speak.”
“I assure you I do not,” he insisted, but I dared not say anything else, lest I make myself an easy target for his mockery. Suddenly, his head whipped around his shoulders, flashing me a sideways grin. “You mean sexually?”
“Could you not?!”'

Fitz makes a chance discovery of a peculiarly shaped item among Beloved's belongings. He confronts him about it, then regrets it... then doesn't.

Summary
When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.
Now a captive of the Absolute, he is left starving and huddled in the corner, waiting for the beast that shares his cell to finally strike.
Bears, after all, are not known to be the most gracious killers.
