Solving A Problem of Time by alyseofwonderland (Esyla)
Fandoms: Discworld - Terry Pratchett
18 Jul 2018
Tags
Summary
It was a question of distraction. Humans needed to have more than one thing going on in their lives, not because it made them more productive but because it made them less. Captain Samuel Vimes had proven himself to be extremely efficient when he put his mind to it, and The Patrician was not amused. Oh, it was all well and good now, this time, when he was the one who benefited from these aptitudes, but there was bound to be a time in the future when Samuel Vimes would be a problem. When that happened he would need something in his life besides The Watch.
Samuel Vimes did not have hobbies, outside of drinking, and he appeared to be giving that up in favor of doing his job. The horror. He had no living family, and the only friends the Captain appeared to have were his coworkers.
Something would have to be done.

Always Near by afrai for imperfectcircle, antediluvian
Fandoms: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

Summary
The man's face fell. "Do you not – have you no interest in the sport of cloud and rain?"
Baze did something he would later have cause to regret. He told the truth.
"No," he said. "Sex is fine, just not – I'm not interested in sleeping with people who've been paid for it."
"You are in luck, my friend!" said the man, pleased. "I am not paid a single credit to be your host. I'm a slave."
Baze is on security detail on a luxury Hutt transport when he meets the worst sex slave in the galaxy. Weirdly, not actually an AU.

Summary
Stede's birthday is coming up and all he really wants is a pirate themed party. His boyfriend thinks he's being childish and stupid. The handsome stranger in the cake aisle disagrees.
~~~~~
“Pirates, is it?”“Please don’t tease. I really don’t think I can handle any more ridicule today.”
“Shit, no I didn’t mean it like that. I’m a bit of a pirate nerd myself. Can I show you something?” He began unbuttoning his dress shirt before Stede could form the words to answer.
“What are you doing?” he started to ask, trailing off quickly as his mouth went dry at the sight of the man’s bare chest where he had pulled his undershirt all the way up. Stede was too distracted to finish speaking by the overall impression: a canvas of ink covered skin, muscular and soft in all the right places, a tantalizing trail of dark hair leading Stede’s eyes down, down…
Fuck. Focus, Bonnet.
He dragged his focus back to the inked images which were surely the point of this man’s public indecency.
~~~~(Mary to Ed, some time later):
“So, do you throw personalized birthday parties for all of your patrons, or just the ones you show your tits to in the grocery store?”- Language:

Summary
Ferrying contraband alcohol from the islands to the dry wasteland of the States had made Edward Teach a rich man, but he's starting to get sick of the daily grind. Enter Stede Bonnet, a fancy sort of egg who would look more at home in a garden party than loading a boat with crates of juice--and who's determined to learn the trade from the best, namely, Ed himself. A deal is struck: Ed will teach Stede the ways of the Caribbean bootlegger if Stede shows him how to fit in at the swankiest parties. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
After being pressured by their families into a marriage neither of them want, Aziraphale and Crowley resign themselves to an unfulfilling life together. For Aziraphale that means trying to be the dutiful wife she was always taught to be and for Crowley it means hiding an important part of who he is.

Search and Rescue by snae_b for marsch00

Summary
“Mount Meeker. Small avalanche from the sound of it, R2, R3 maybe. But we’ve got two missing hikers, caught in the powder, so at least a D2 in terms of force. Bentley and I are out first. Adam, you’re on extraction gear, Pepper, you’re on medical. We don’t know what shape these folks are in.” He finally sets his gaze squarely on Aziraphale, his eyes flick to the lens of his camera and back up again. “Stay out of the way.”
Aziraphale packs his camera gear and heads to the Rocky Mountains to film with an elite search and rescue team. Turns out the terrain isn't his only challenge.

Summary
“You’ve never been anything but–perfectly considerate, my love,” Stede manages weakly, staring straight up at the ceiling, flexing a hand in Ed’s hair. Ed can be impatient in bed, erratic, firm and greedy in his touches, but he’s always asked Stede from the first– Is this ok? Like this? Is it good? Am I hurting you?
“You’ve never hurt me, or…” His cheeks pinken slightly, “Well, beyond what I imagine is the normal amount of soreness the day after, of course, but…”
Ed grunts, and scrapes his teeth over the bone of Stede’s jaw in a way that makes him gasp and brings him right back to himself. Ed seems to freeze at the noise, fingers digging shakily into Stede’s hip. “But what if I wanted to?”
-------------------After a rough raid on another ship, Stede lets Ed express the Blackbeard side of himself a little more privately.
Shameless PWP with lots of feelings.

Summary
There are books missing from the library in the Abbey. A crime, Aziraphale suspects, that carries something much more serious underneath. He isn't expecting to deal with a demon summoned to kill him. He isn't expecting to find an ally in the oddest place.
An ally, and something else.
“Okay, so. The thing is,” Crowley starts, shifting again in his spot, “uh, someone wants you dead.”
Aziraphale blinks. “Pardon?”
“Didn’t you hear me? Someone wants you dead. As in deceased. As in six-feet-under. As in–”
“Alright, alright! That’s quite alright, thank you,” Aziraphale chokes out. “I still don’t see–”
Crowley heaves a sigh. “Listen, Angel.” He leans forward, elbows pressed against his knees, his hair falling around him like a curtain made of fire. He closes his eyes before continuing. “Truth is, someone summoned me to, er, to kill you, actually.”

Summary
“How dare you!” Aziraphale shouts.
“It’s not personal!” the demon shouts back, peeking around the edge of the bookshelf. Aziraphale flings a blessing at him, but he jerks back before it can land. “I was assigned to you.”
“I’ll smite you back to Hell, you—you—snake!”
“Funny you should say that,” the demon mutters, before lifting his voice again. “Or how about we carry on what we’re doing and not attract the attention from Downstairs, yeah? Or Upstairs, for that matter.”
Or: Aziraphale has been assigned to secure The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. He really shouldn’t have been surprised to learn that Hell had an agent of their own assigned to him.
Luckily for him, Crowley is a dreadful spy.

“Mr. Crowley, I presume?” Aziraphale asked in lieu of an introduction, which was not forthcoming. The guy hadn’t even removed his sunglasses. Oh God, he had a tattoo on his face. Aziraphale wasn’t one to judge, but… what kind of gardener had a snake tattoo on his face?

But then neither the snake nor the castle turn out to be quite what he’s expecting…
