    Summary

    Ever since Eddie was a kid, he's known that he would die at nineteen. He never really came up with a plan for how to spend his last year. But if he'd had to guess, it would have involved spending lots of time with Wayne, and his band, and the Hellfire Club.

    He certainly couldn't predict that he'd fall in love with Steve Harrington over a summer of early morning swims and smashing shit in the junkyard. Or the whole monster fighting thing.

    (Or: Eddie and Steve navigate a little-to-the-left world where technology exists to predict the age a person will be when they die. Don't worry, no one stays dead.)

    Summary

    Jerusalem had fallen. Now, on top of the indignity of having to walk - walk! - to Alexandria to avoid getting shot out of the sky, Yusuf al-Kaysani has the double misfortune of being saddled with a filthy, empty-headed, exasperating Frank who doesn't even seem to know what his wings are for.

    But after an explosion of temper reveals something about his enemy that Yusuf could never have fathomed in a thousand years, Yusuf finds himself looking at his companion in a whole new light. Suddenly tasked with helping Nicolo achieve a dream, an unexpected spark of compassion is born, that leads to forgiveness, to friendship, to all and more.

     


    Every love story is a kind of dance.


    Or - Yusuf and Nicolo live in a world where everyone has wings. It changes a lot about their world, and nothing about them.

    Summary

    Strangers never stayed strangers for long, not to A’drii. She prided herself on knowing the comings and goings of just about everyone this side of the Jundland Wastes. She even had connections with some of the Sand People, and they were pretty damn reclusive.

    After she first met Ben, she wondered if she would ever see him again. Quietly, she hoped that she would.

    Summary

    No matter what Anakin said, Obi-Wan was not older than the holonet, thank you, and if it was actually weird to listen to the radio then no one would be operating the frequencies. Since Obi-Wan was, at this moment, listening to channel 81-75 spit crackly Onderanian alternative - a genre that was, admittedly, a little before Anakin's time - through his comm, he was forced to conclude that it was an utterly and entirely normal pastime.

     

    In which Obi-Wan finding a new hobby (that is to say, listening to a late-night radio show hosted by a man known only as Cody) accidentally saves the galaxy.

    Summary

    [Excerpt from the speech of chief curator Virginia M. Mecklenburg at the opening banquet of the "Captain Steven Rogers: A History Through Art" Exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, January 5, 2012]

    “Welcome to the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. It is my pleasure to introduce to you all an exhibit that has been many years in the making. So rarely are we presented with opportunities to join art and history in a union as perfect as this one. Though Captain Steven Rogers sacrificed his life for our country more than sixty years ago, his legacy lives on in history books, documentaries, independent films, and now, thanks to our generous donors, in galleries as well. His artwork provides us with a singular perspective of pre-war American society, as well as a unique window into the soul of the American hero himself...."

    Or, the life of Steve Rogers as told by biographers, art historians, tumblr users, a very enthusiastically queer college student, and the artwork of Steve Rogers himself. [Art included]
