    Summary

    The mission fails catastrophically. So does SecUnit. When it comes back online without any functional sensory inputs, it believes that it's still trapped on the surface of the cold, desolate planet, that its humans are all dead, and that nobody will ever find it. Luckily, it's wrong.

    Summary

    Tim was completely still, staring up at Dick with a kind of steely determination that was completely out of place on his young face. “You’re his brother. I thought that if there was anyone who loved him like that, it would be you.”

    Dick tried to swallow, but his mouth and throat were completely dry. “It doesn’t matter,” he said hoarsely. “You can love someone to the stars and back, and it doesn’t mean you get to keep them.”

    Love alone wasn’t enough, had never been enough, would never be enough. If it were, then Dick wouldn’t have had to be dragged away, kicking and screaming, from every great loss of his life. If it were, then all of Dick’s howling grief would have meant something.

    There’s an entrance to the underworld beneath Gotham City. Tim is certain that the only way to stop Batman’s rampage is to give Bruce his son back. Dick just wants a second chance with his brother. It's an old song.

    Summary


    The Tale of the Witch of the West and her Prince, by Dorothy L. Gale

     

     

    The records during the Wizard’s corrupt reign, some 80 years ago, are scarce and poorly preserved - just one more thing that the Wizard took from the people of Oz. Dorothy Gale and other historians take it upon themselves to unravel hidden secrets as everything people think they know about the story of Elphaba Thropp and Fiyero Tigelaar needs to be re-examined in order to discover the truth

    Summary

    A collection of au Griddlehark ficlets of varying lengths, each based around the most wretched pun I could think of for the name Harrowhark. Will update daily until day 999 of the Alectopause, or until I run out of puns, or until trained snipers take me out. More specific warnings on each chapter, since these vary wildly in tone.

    Current featuring: Hair-grow-hark, the one with two girls, a tower, and an excessive length of hair.

    Summary

    “Hey,” says the kid. He’s painted in green, yellow, red, and he’s wiggling back and forth in his seat.

    “Hey,” Jason says without turning around. “I made french toast. You like french toast?”

    The half-smile turns into a wide grin. “Fuckin’ duh.”

    Because of course he does. Because Jason has always liked french toast.

    Summary

    For personal reasons, the rock that had become ugly meat (that had– for just a brief moment– become a beautiful, beloved child) was now six dogs. This decision, while admittedly made under duress, had nonetheless paid out in dividends. As she lay in sun beams, as she rolled around with herself across the soft ground, she liked to count the reasons why this had turned out to be a terrific idea.

    Summary

    "You do believe we can put it back together, right?" She asked, her hand gliding across the railing as she inched closer, attempting to get a better read on his stony expression.

    It took him more than a split second to contemplate it, which spelled out his answer better than words ever could.

    "Do you?" Hunter countered.

    There was no such delay with Willow.

    "I have to." Her answer came from the gut.

    Summary

    When two unconventional lead actors are cast in the series adaptation of Agnes Nutter's Prophecies, sparks fly and new ground is broken.

    Aziraphale Fell, classically trained and known for powerful biopics, yearns for a popular lead but is hindered by his brother's insistence that he stay in the closet. Anthony J. Crowley has perfected flashy, charismatic villains, but wonders if a hero will ever be on the cards for him.

    With Aziraphale as the angel Raphael and Crowley as the demon Asmodeus, something feels... off. But a breakthrough during a late-night rehearsal sets into motion something greater than they ever dreamed. Now all they have to do is overcome nefarious producers, bigotry, and a set that seems to be haunted by all manner of spirits and curses - all while falling for each other in a way Crowley finds exhilarating and Aziraphale finds terrifying.

    If they can survive it all, they'll come out the other side with the series of their career... and maybe even a chance at their own happily ever after.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    The view from the staircase is, well, not stunning, that’s definitely not the word. It’s just that “view” is supposed to be accompanied by “stunning,” and Luz can feel her brain coming to a screeching halt and refusing to process what they’re seeing.
    It's skeletons. Come on, they both knew it was going to be skeletons. The entire Isles know at this point.

    (Or: despite what the stories would have you believe, in the aftermath, there are things to deal with. Those things include ruined infrastructure, electing new leaders, and prosecuting those responsible for the old regime. And apparently, also Grimwalker mass graves.)

    Summary

    Jesper and Wylan meet at a farmers’ convention and, long story short, they might have to overthrow the government.

    Jesper was supposed to spend spring break at Nina’s—then a joint turned up in his backpack and his da decided he was coming to the convention instead. He’s miserable and bored until a chance encounter with a shy artist. He never expected to meet someone sweet, gorgeous, and interested in him in the middle of Iowa.

    There’s just one tiny problem: Wylan’s father is nationally prominent and openly homophobic.
