    Summary

    "This isn't a concentration camp," Delta says, calm, like he's been rehearsing it. Erik looks at the gun on his hip, the guards behind him in the corridor, the bars between them.

    He smiles with a lot of teeth. "I think I'd know that better than you."

    AU in which the beach divorce didn't happen and Erik decides to stay and help Charles start his school. But despite their clean break, the government isn't ready to let the mutants disappear into hiding.

    Summary

    Moody reclined in his chair, his prosthetic scratched over the floor. “What year is it, Riddle.”
    It wasn’t phrased like a question, maybe that was why Tom finally answered.
    “September.” Tom clipped out coldly. “1942. You know this.”’
    Harry inhaled so sharply he choked on his spit. He hurriedly turned away, hacking and wheezing as he nearly asphyxiated on his own saliva.
    “Yeah,” Moody grimaced with a slight disgruntled noise hidden in his tone, “that’s a problem.”

     

    Or

     

    Tom Riddle, 15 years old, in the middle of the London Blitz suddenly finds himself in a future with no allies, resources, information, and everyone he knows treats him with enough restraint to not murder him on the spot. It takes a lot to truly ruin a human being, to rot them so thoroughly even fruit flies avoid the stench. Tom doesn't want this bullshit, Tom only wants to-
    'Please God, let me live.

    Summary

    Written with MustangSally, who is not yet on the archive.

    Painted across the barren and desolate reaches of Texas, the shadows of the Project put additional pressure on Scully and Mulder's already fragile relationship. After a hostage crisis raises more questions about the Project's breeding program, Scully begins her own investigation, leaving Mulder to choose between saving her and saving himself. Finally, the investigation leads to tragedy and Mulder and Scully find that more questions have been asked than answered.

    The title reference was to an island mentioned in Medea, to which we turned for fairly obvious reasons.

    Take the warning seriously: extreme violence, including the death of children.

    Summary

    After years of fighting the Empire and trying not to lose all hope, Ahsoka Tano is thrown back in time to the invasion of Naboo. Now it seems like she’s the only one who can save the galaxy, and she’ll do it or die trying.

    She may be disoriented, but this stagnant, not-yet-war-torn galaxy isn’t ready for her, either. What happens when Ahsoka—veteran soldier, Purge survivor, rebel agent—appears and starts tearing through a thousand years of corruption and Sith schemes?

    Everything changes.

    Now somehow the immensely adorable nine-year-old Anakin is her apprentice, and he’s not even her only apprentice. Maul is obsessed with her. She’s giving the Jedi Order a rude awakening. There might be a chance to stop Dooku from becoming a Sith. The Republic is falling apart in an entirely unfamiliar way. And that’s just the beginning.

    Whether or not all this change will be a good thing remains to be seen.

    And there’s one thing Ahsoka cannot let happen: Darth Vader. She doesn’t know who he is or where he came from, but she does know that she’s going to find the unstoppable monster who terrorized the galaxy once, and she’s going to kill him.
