Summary
In an irradiated future frontier, Magnus and Lup enter into a marriage of safety and convenience, all to mask their ulterior motives. Lup desires to find her brother and twin, Taako, who left to seek a fortune, swearing to send for Lup when it was safe. Magnus plans to travel to Ravens Roost, his wife Julia's hometown, to start a new life. But the world they live in is violent, and fraught with dangers. They will need all the cleverness between them, and the help of new companions they gather along the way, if they are to survive their journey.

Summary
Seventy three years ago, the districts of Panem rebelled against the Capitol and were defeated. Each year since, in punishment, and as a reminder of the power and grace of the Capitol, every district yields one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 through a lottery system to serve as tribute in the Hunger Games. Twelve districts reap twenty four tributes, but the Hunger Games only ever have one victor, the last tribute standing.
Felicity Smoak is 17 when she is selected for the Games. To win means she can go home; to lose, a death to remember. The Golden Girl, they call her, the tribute from District 5 - may she rise from the ashes.

Summary
Newt is a famous rock star in the punk rock alternative band Kaiju Blue that wears skinny jeans that are too skinny and Hermann is a modest part-time bookshop employee and engineering and science student who's never heard of Kaiju Blue in his life. Classic cliched superstar-falls-for-the-only-person-who-treats-him-like-he's-human. Blushing nerds and awkward tension ensues.

Summary
Newt really, really wants to go to the convention for the best scifi film of the last 20 years, Atlantic Edge, but he doesn't have the money.
Or: Newt and Hermann have to pretend to be engaged, everyone has a sad past, Mako owns a coffee shop, Raleigh's a giant puppy, and Hannibal Chau writes self-insert fanfic.

Summary
Twelve is you washing your hands ten times up to the elbow in the space of the half an hour you spend prepping kaiju entrails for long-term cryo. It's him that stops you, him that struggles over to the sink on his cane and grabs you by the wrists, hands fitting perfectly over the open maws of Hundun and Yamarashi, and he says "Stop," and "Newton, think, this isn't like you, it is like—" and the me hangs unspoken but you get it, let him guide you over to a bench in the lab and force you to sit still long enough to tone down the compulsion.

Summary
John Watson never knew that he wanted a ‘no toast in the mornings’ normal until he realized what an honor it is to be destroyed by Sherlock Holmes.
Written for Johnlock Challenges: “The modern take of The Three Garridebs; essentially, John is wounded during a case and Sherlock loses his mind a little bit. And then gayness. Obviously that last bit is where it deviates from canon…or is it? Any rating.”

Summary
You needle him because you don’t know how to not. You push him and you keep pushing, and, to your entirely hidden delight, he pushes you right back. He pushes you so hard that your head is spinning, and for the first time in your life you’re scrambling to keep up. It’s never happened to you before, this push-pull of constant snarling, and you love it, you’re drunk on it, you never want it to stop. He hates your tattoos, your t-shirts, that you play The Clash at 3am and that you leave dogeared William Gibson novels all over the lab, regardless of what is beneath them or whether you’re even reading them at the time. He hates you, so thoroughly, so viscerally, that it almost hurts, but he sees you, and when he hates you his hate encompasses all that you are and have the potential to be.
