    Summary

    Finally, the first light of civilisation any of the marching bugs had seen in months was visible just over the horizon. The ringing of the bells halted, as the group’s leader stopped. A sign infront of them had only one character they understood, and even then it was written in a foreign style. But the character revealed that they had finally reached their destination: The Kingdom of the White Wyrm.

    The veiled bugs picked up the runed cage again, and the bell chimes continued in rhythm to their march.

    What if the veiled bugs of Pharloom came after Hornet before Hallownest’s fall? How will they react to the weaver in half part being the King’s own daughter? And how will the Pale King react to these bugs trying to abduct his child daughter?

    Summary

    Five Pebbles dies, and then wakes again.

    Bugs that walk and talk with god-given sapience, and an orange rot that’s spread throughout the entire facility grounds. What iterator could be so irresponsible as to let such an experiment waste away? On who’s grounds has he landed?

    He is no bug, and this is no maze. Oh, what is a machine to do?

    (in the meanwhile, the bugs look at this creature- pink, long, with too-rigid antennas and no mandibles to speak with yet so many things to say, and they see a remnant of their king. They do not realize that perhaps his kind are closer to vessels than to gods.)

     

    TL;DR: angry calculator god in a world of bugs. Assumptions are made.

    Summary

    THEN:
    In the midst of the Clone Wars, a newly-minted Jedi Knight vanishes, suspected of defecting. But the woman brought back to face the Council is not Knight Tulin, but an officer of an extragalactic organization that calls itself ‘Starfleet’.

    Curiosity, and a determination to rectify the mistake, drive Plo Koon to take the lost Commander Chester under his wing. But between Republic Intelligence’s sinister interest in their extra-galactic visitor, the growing Separatist determination to capture her for themselves, and the good Commander’s own determined escape attempts, keeping Chester alive is hard enough–let alone getting her home.

    NOW:
    In the horrific wake of Order 66, a badly injured Plo Koon stakes his survival on one last desperate hyperspace jump, to a mysterious anomaly that might offer hope for him–and for what little remains of the Jedi Order. For Captain Diane Chester, Plo’s arrival is confirmation of all her fears. Now, she’s got to keep the Empire’s grubby hands off the Alpha Quadrant with only one ship, one Jedi, and that greatest Starfleet tradition–a hell of a lot of showmanship.

    Summary

    Percy Jackson died for his companions, an ending as decorous as the sea’s retreat.
    In theory, this should have concluded matters. In practice, it produced Persía: a reincarnation with inconvenient modern opinions and an aversion to staying quiet. She acquired, in no particular order, a household, a cult, and a reputation for upsetting the correct people.

    Unfortunately, when immortality catches up to her, so do the Olympians. She had not requested this afterlife, but now that she possesses it, she intends to use it; primarily to irritate the gods.

     

     

    Also: includes administrative cult work, abolitionist projects, and the occasional demolition of corrupt politicians. Technically an Athenide AU.
