Summary
“Hide that,” he says, forcing the words out past every instinct. “As well as you can, all right? Before morning.”
Steve stares at him blankly, like he needs a moment to work this out, then swallows once, sharply. "What's your name?" he asks at last—asks as he stands there with the pelt in his hands.
And oh, he thinks suddenly, what is his name? He can’t speak it, not with this mouth, he can’t sing it into the air like he can in the ocean. He just shakes his head; like his nakedness, it’s something he can't explain. Steve nods, just nods, his eye swelling shut and blood drying on his shirt collar, and says "we’ll figure it out."
(An AU where Bucky is a young selkie who is accidentally called to Steve and ends up staying around to help this poor, wretched kid not die.)

Summary
“So,” Jade says, marching on ahead with her list like a determined little artilleripper, tapping at her papers. “The…Dark Carnival.” She sounds it out every part one after the other, ‘fatal-funny cullpit of the messiahs’, like how a corpse dismembered and all laid out turns into pieces instead of a whole troll.
“Dark Carnival,” you say, putting the corpse back together to show her, fast and fluid how it’s supposed to flow.
“Dark Carnival,” Jade repeats after you, choking just a little on the shift of chirr into click. “Okay! Say me what does that mean?”
--
A diplomatic voyage of xenosociological discovery and awkward flirting takes place in Karkat's shitty living room, heavily backdropped by only the finest of cross-species anatomy textbooks, shitty Alternian cocktails, and schlocky Alternian romance movies.Series

Your revolution failed. Your moirail is dead. Your body's dangling helpless in the grip of a thousand burrowing biowires.

The Lost Prince and the Forest Witch - A Jotun Fairy Tale by ClockworkCrow (icemink)

Summary
The prince, tired of hearing his companions complain about the cold of Jotuneheim, walked with the witch.
"Finish your story, tell me how the Casket was made," he asked.
The blue-skinned witch gave him a half-smile, and for a monster, Loki thought she was beautiful. He hated her, but perhaps it was not so bad to owe her a kiss.
"The Allfather did not seem to think my story worth listening to," she said slyly.
"Well, it's obvious how it ends," Loki said, playing off his interest. "But it's bad luck to leave a tale untold."
"Tell me, how does my story end, little prince?" her eyes amused.
He shrugged. "Laufey betrays your mother and steals the Casket. She cursed him and his son. The baby dies, and Laufey has had no children since."
"You are wrong." Sylvie snapped. "The prince is not dead. Odin stole him, cursed him, turned him into a monster, and keeps him in Asgard."
Loki laughed. "Then I am sorry for you. It must be terrible to be promised to an ugly monster. No wonder you wanted a kiss."
"He is ugly," the witch agreed angrily. "With skin like a shaved beast. And he is a great fool. But time changes things. Kings become monsters, and sometimes monsters become kings."Bookmarked by wandersoffdoodling
