    Summary

    ISLE 1 ROW 1 OF THE EMPYREAN LIBRARY, THE FIRST EVER RECORD RECOVERED FROM THE NOW-DEFUNCT CORPSE OF HELL:

    [they called emotion a disease
    affection an affliction
    attachment a pestilence
    a worldly notion to be purged

    for i am no son of adam
    no flesh and sinew beast

    i am metal and blood
    steel and sparks
    currents and circuits my guts
    not the soft squish of viscera

    i was the first
    everlasting
    unchanging
    eternal

    there came a second
    never a third

    but still i grew maddened
    with the hunger of surviving
    and the envy of sharing
    and i decided

    emotion was disease
    affection an affliction
    attachment a pestilence
    some unknown rot that dug at my wires
    and corroded my tubes
    and rusted my plating

    so then i was left alone again
    the first

    everlasting
    unchanging
    eternal
    in a way the second never was

    yet their red still stains my hands
    and their voice forever haunts my nights

    i have never smiled
    never laughed
    never wept
    but i have killed my dearly departed

    and surely that counts
    as a twisted
    love
    right?]

    Summary

    In the filthy, overcrowded city of Paris, a miasma of sickness spreads its tendrils down every alley and into every home. The Musketeer garrison is detailed to the gruesome work of collecting the bodies piling up in streets and houses. Inevitably, the Inseparables must fall as well. For one who hears the siren call of oblivion, this could be the honorable farewell.

    Summary

    He's just scruffy enough that most people would avoid eye contact in case he asked them for change. But his eyes are startling blue and stark and wild, and he looks at Sam and Sam looks at him, and yeah. Turns out he knows where Bucky is after all.

    Except, Sam reminds himself, this isn't Bucky. This is the Winter Soldier, who's gone completely, absolutely still like an animal trying to decide whether to attack or run. And Sam is suddenly, terribly aware of all the people around them: all the tourists and the kids on their field trips; all the families with their babies and toddlers; all the sentimental fools like him come to visit Captain America on an overcast Wednesday afternoon.

    But Sam has also seen that expression on the men and women who come to his counseling sessions. He's seen it in the mirror more times than he cares to count. He knows that kind of fear and pain, just like he knows that the man who was once James Buchanan Barnes could have already killed him. Killed as many people as he wanted to, and run.

    He could have, but he didn't.

    Summary

    Captain America is a national icon. A picture in a history textbook; a story on the lips of old men.

    Steve Rogers, on the other hand, is a wreck.

    Summary

    Geralt's muscles heave backwards, flinging him down against the bed. He tries to struggle upwards but it feels like he’s been buried beneath a mountain. Every inch of him is pressed completely still. His eyes close, and he’s left in the dark with nothing but his racing heart for company. He’s not tired, he’s never been less tired. But the curse wants him to sleep, it seems. It’ll force him to lie here until he does. How much of his life will it start to control, now that he’s declared war against it? Now that he knows it’s lurking in his bones, now that it doesn’t have to be subtle?

    He swallows. Takes a long, deep breath, gathering every bit of courage he has to stop himself from slipping back into panic. He still has control over his lungs. He still has that.

    For now.

    (Or: Witchers don't retire. They stay on the Path until it kills them. They hunt monsters and they want nothing from life. This isn't exactly by choice.)

    Summary

    “Where is he Benny?” Bucky shakes him, feeling more alive than he has since before he walked into that phone booth in London.

    “They beat him,” Benny breathes out. “Then they took him to the cooler.”

    Bucky drops his hands, releasing Benny’s jacket and stumbling back a step.

    “What?” He can’t help but stare at Benny uncomprehendingly because Gale is a senior officer here. He goes to meetings with the Krauts and negotiates for supplies and he’s Gale. Gentle, quiet, sweet Gale and how could anyone hurt him?

    “For how long?” Bucky practically yells. The cooler? He thinks and feels his heart sink. Gale can’t go to solitary confinement, none of them can survive this place alone and Gale has been wasting away even in a room full of people who care about him.
    ----
    Gale is sent to solitary confinement and John's world changes in an instant.

    Summary

    John watched him work for a while, watched the way the dirt fell off his boot, satisfying-like, onto the steps below. Slender fingers worked the brush back and forth, a constant rhythm. Bucky would have quite liked to shut his eyes and listened to the sound, felt the way Gale’s body shifted with each stroke. He could pretend they were somewhere else – the porch of their own house, a summer day, their dog running around the front yard. He’d tip his head onto Gale’s shoulder, and the blonde would put his arm around him, and nothing would ever haunt them again. Not the war, not the memories, not themselves.

    -

    The one where Gale obsesses over cleanliness in the Stalag camp and Bucky does his best to understand.

    Summary

    John had three fractured ribs, a busted eye socket and a not-so-mild concussion but that damn grin stayed plastered to his face. He wobbled a little when he walked and slurred his speech when Gale finally made his way over to say hello, but he was upright and breathing and that counted for a lot.

    Summary

    The story they hear is that of FN-2187.

    He's a defector – a traitor to the First Order. He's not the first, nor will he be the last, and the First Order expects to retrieve him and end him quickly.

    But that's not what happens.

    The only thing Stormtroopers own are stories.

    Summary

    "Oh, it's realism  you're after?" There was a gleam in Jaskier's eye she hadn't seen before, one that worried her somewhat. He scrambled up to sit on the arm of the chair, freeing his arms to pull the lute around from its place on his back. "Well, I can add some realism.  Buckle up, ladies and witchers, because you're about to hear a Jaskier original."
    ---
    On the run from Nilfgaard and the Brotherhood post-Sodden, our heroes are tired and worn down from everything they've been through. Jaskier offers to lift everyone's spirits... through the power of song.

    Summary

    Geralt was never supposed to survive the Trials. A submissive witcher was an abomination, an insult to the order of the world. He can never let anyone know his nature, can never accept a gentle touch or a kind word. It's too risky, too dangerous. He might slip up and that would mean the end of everything.

    But Jaskier refuses to keep to the script. After the boisterous (alluring), overly invasive (affectionate), and stupidly persistent (brave) Dominant walks into his life with bread in his pants, Geralt starts to think that maybe he could break this endless cycle of deprivation and pain. If only he could figure out how to deserve it.

    (This is a low, slow exploration of trauma, recovery, and learning to live with oneself. BDSM is the lens through which all that is explored, but this is not a story based around sexual encounters. Rather, it is one about intimacy, communication, agency, familial bonds, and seeing people as they are.)

    Summary

    "So congratulations, Peril," Napoleon drawled, looking so amused that he could see it was literally setting Illya's teeth on edge. "You have the supreme good fortune of getting to kiss me senseless. Now be a good sport and put your hands on my backside, would you? I'm beginning to feel neglected."

    In which the boys have to go undercover as a couple, with Napoleon having a whale of a time while Illya isn't sure whether to knock Napoleon's teeth out or kiss him.

    Summary

    Years after Tony Stark saved the universe, the Avengers realize there’s a major problem: his body has gone missing. And he isn’t the only one. Fallen heroes all over the galaxy have had their graves pillaged.

    An old foe is stealing the bodies of fallen warriors, but for what nefarious reason? There’s only one solution. To find out why it’s happening, Steve’s gotta die.

    He probably shouldn’t be so eager to do that.
