    Summary

    It's been twenty years since the Georgia Flu wiped out most of humanity in under a week. What's left of the world is dangerous, but there is still beauty, and hope, and community, and art and music thrive in the right places, among the right people.

    Sloane has lived most of her life in the isolated Severn City Airport, one of the adopted children Reginald Hargreeves calls his Sparrows. She's fortunate, she knows. She's safe. But safety isn't exciting, and books and daydreams and watching the airport from her secret platform in some old scaffolding aren't satisfying anymore.

    Luther is an actor with the Travelling Symphony, a group that moves between settlements performing the works of Shakespeare under their director, Allison. He loves his chosen family and he's happy with the life he lives. He's lucky, he knows, and if there's any part of his life that's unfulfilling, reminding himself of that is -usually- enough.

    AU inspired by Station Eleven

    Summary

    “Hey, er…” He’s forgotten the boy’s name. Something with a G. Was it Gavin? Or Garth? “Hey, buddy. I got somewhere to be, but if you wake up now we can go for round two before I have to leave.”


    Twenty-two-year-old Klaus Hargreeves awakes following a one-night stand with an enigmatic young artist.

    Apart from a stinking hangover, he now has two problems: he possesses almost no memory of the night before and there’s a gruesome surprise in the bed.

    Accused of a horrific crime, and with the police watching his every move, he faces a race against time to clear his name.

    If he can only stay sober long enough to patch together the memories of that night, he might just stand a chance.

    Summary

    They say the most important skill a musician can learn is to count to four.
    ---
    November 2017.

    Vanya wakes at 06:30. Eats oatmeal. Takes her pills. Commutes. Changes her toothbrush every three months like the dentists recommend.

    Checks her door twice before she retires to bed.

    Of course, no one is after her. It’s all in her ordinary, understimulated head.

    Klaus, for once in his life, hasn’t done it. Pity the criminals who want his ass on a silver plate won’t hear it. Klaus needs shelter.

    Vanya’s window seems like a good alternative.
