    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

    From a Hobbitkink prompt:

    The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.

    The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.

    (Follows the story of the War of the Ring).

     

    (Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

    Summary

    This is a story about stories, and about what happens to the characters caught between the pages when their story ends. There are a lot of places it could start. It could start with four children tumbling into worlds that aren’t their own. It could start with those four children finding their way back home and learning to pick up the pieces. It could start with an old woman with a bit of Nonsense left in her step restoring a large house in the country and painting elegant letters onto a sign. Or, it could start with a frightened girl running away and ending up in the place where all stories start.

    But for this telling, the story begins on a blustery April day, when Rose Lalonde dodged out of the way as three figures plummeted out of the sky and landed in a heap on the lawn of Jane Egbert’s Home for Wayward Children.

    Summary

    “Wait, Lexaeus. You shouldn’t go to face him all by yourself.”

    Lexaeus’ eyes narrow, but before he can claim insult, Zexion lifts one hand and seeks his eyes.

    “It is not that I doubt your strength, but for all that he still fears the Darkness, we must not underestimate the potential within Riku. If we truly are to obtain him… we must assume that it will take more than brute force to overcome him.”

    Lexaeus relaxes a fraction, apparently satisfied with Zexion’s reasoning.

    “Then…” he asks, “what is it that you suggest?”

    ----

    Or: When confronted with both Lexaeus and Zexion at the same time in Castle Oblivion, Riku gives in to the Darkness. The resulting events affect not just him…

    Or, or: the Riku-joins-the-Organization-XIII feat. memory-loss AU that absolutely nobody asked for

    Summary

    You wake up on a desolate street in torn pajamas and get about ten minutes to wander around in confusion before being forcibly recruited into the so-called “Organization XIII.”

    You’re not supposed to be here. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to know why you’re so certain of this fact when you have no memories. What else is there to do but chase the fragments of your past while trying to stay alive?

    Summary

    “Do you see now?” Xehanort says. “The darkness covets you, Sora. The shadows fit you like a second skin. Deny it all you want—you were born to control the Heartless. And your keyblade refuses to let you summon it now, doesn't it? Now that your heart is tainted." Xehanort smiles. "It hardly matters. The darkness will never abandon you again."

    Unwillingly drafted into Master Xehanort's new Organization XIII, Sora finds himself leashed to the darkness. Working in the shadows shouldn't come this naturally to a boy who fights for the light. And now, forced to track down the New Seven Hearts with his Organization XIII peers, Sora is unable to stop the war that threatens to lay waste to the universe.

    Sora's only hope is realized when Riku and Kairi take his place as the light's champions—even if he must eventually meet them on the battlefield. But Sora's uncontrollable darkness threatens to consume even them. The people he loves cannot be safe until he escapes the Organization and controls the powerful darkness inside himself.

    Except—he's not sure he wants to.

    An alternate take on KH3, in which Sora is 'Norted at the end of Dream Drop Distance. Soranort fic.

    Summary

    “It’s really very nice. Seducing people, I mean,” Aziraphale says, and Crowley really does nearly discorporate.

    “You’re an angel!” he says.

    “Well, yes,” Aziraphale says. “But it’s not a sin if you love someone, and of course I love all of Her creatures.”

    “I—that’s not—that’s not what that means!” Crowley yells.

    “Isn’t it?” Aziraphale blinks up at him innocently. Crowley is reminded, again, that Aziraphale is just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing.

    Summary

    When teenagers reach puberty, their bodies undergo various changes. One such change is the addition of a soulmate mark, one's soulmate's name written across their chest, right above their heart. In Radiant Garden, it's one of the biggest events of a person's life.

    When Braig receives his soulmate mark, he's horrified to find that it's complete nonsensical scribbles - a phenomenon he hadn't been prepared for and had never heard of. Confused and ashamed, Braig hides his soulmate mark, and joins the Royal Guard in an attempt to learn more about the blemish inked into his skin.

    Unfortunately, things only escalate from there.

    Summary

    In 1934, an Apatosaurus skeleton was mounted in the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh. Under the name of "Brontosaurus", the headless skeleton was fitted with the cast of a Camarasaurus skull. In 1979, both Camarasaurus and Apatosaurus were put to rights. But how might it feel, to be two ghosts haunting the same skeleton?

But soon the cries of wargs split the night air, silent strangers glide into Buckmaster Keep, and the famed Messenger-Men of the North come under attack -- the results of an imbroglio between Men and elves, and a contrivance to lay low an inconvenient King.

    Summary

    Thranduil Greenleaf is the reclusive owner of Woodland Coffee and Books, reluctant to face the outside world ever since the death of his wife twelve years ago. He downs three cups of coffee in the morning, serves customers until closing, and then attempts conversation with his son before giving up and reading until the ungodly hours in the morning. It was a simple routine, albeit the lack of proper social interaction. This all grinds to a halt when the door to his shop opens one rainy afternoon, and in steps Bard Bowman.

    Title: The Cord
    Status: Complete
    Pages: 184 (2 parts)
    Characters: Thranduil Oropherion; Legolas Thranduilion; Elrond; OCs.
    Warnings: None.

    This Mystery is a complete standalone story.

    Summary: This is a complete fan-fiction set in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings universe. When a troop of Northern Rangers arrive at the Great Gates of Mirkwood they reinforce what the Elfking there already suspects: Destroying the Dark Enemy and The One Ring did not wipe all Sauron's strife from Middle Earth. Rather, the vacuum has created a renaissance of darkness. Other powers afoot in the land are locked in competition for mastery over the Children of Iluvatar (Elves and Men), and a series of events on the Forest River, Long Lake, and Erebor slowly reveal that the Kingdom is falling under the shadow of a new threat. The Northern Rangers have also come to warn of a strange attack. In fact, their leader remains ensnared in the sway of dark forces and cannot speak of the event. Can the elves of Mirkwood and their great King, along with a handful of Northern Rangers and a rising city of Men, untangle the mystery of the cord?

    Summary

    Most elves only have one love in their life; Thranduil thought his lost many years before. Some elves, however, are blessed with a second name on their hearts, and Thranduil has felt his own stirring ever since he got a collection of dwarven prisoners in his dungeons. After a short period of horror in which he fears one of the dwarves is his love, he realizes that there has been a hobbit in his dungeons, hiding in order to help them.

    Also, this is dedicated to the person who requested it on fanfiction.net, vampygurl402.
