The first month after he wakes up on the meteor, WV spends most of his time alone.

I've been calling this The Sexual Misadventures of Sidney Crosby forever, and that gives you an idea, but just in case: in which Sidney wins a gold medal, has sex (a lot), falls in love (twice), and breaks a bunch of rules.

It was so much easier to be celibate when you were dead.

What's your name, kid?

A series of (relative) shorts focused on Mary Morstan from the 2009 Sherlock Holmes film.

FFVII one-shot. After Avalanche tries to blow up the Sector 5 Reactor, Cloud starts getting messages from a mysteriously well-informed stranger on his PHS.

When the Becket brothers were chosen out of nearly 200 other candidates, Yancy wasn't surprised in the least. You didn't need a genius level IQ or a football scholarship to pilot a jaeger. All you needed was a good partner. And Raleigh was the best.

Mako Mori and Sasha Kaidanovsky bond over being some of the only women in the Hong Kong Shatterdome. A short piece exploring that friendship.

Honor among thieves, or something close enough.

"Can I? Can I? Who do you think you're talking to?"

Yukina put her fork down and said, "I need a job."

In a world where everyone is born bearing the mark of their soulmate, happiness should be guaranteed; nothing is ever so simple.

Life was simple in his ledger until....

Cole likes the tavern.

Now you must endure. Drabbles of the Inquisitor and those who follow.

“Yes,” Dad says, tone matching Stiles’ exactly. “Because I’ve gone bra shopping so many times, I’m practically a pro.” -- Or the one where Stiles is a girl and nothing really changes.

Cole grows increasingly confused by gender and seeks out advice.

Three families Krem has had.

A frog, a sorcerer, a sword, a porch, and a conversation in the dark.

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” -Andre Gide

"You make me feel like I'm not good enough."

Written for the Dragon Age: Inquisition kink meme. A desire demon tries to tempt Dorian disguised as Cullen, and awkward conversations are had.

For the kink meme prompt: "Josephine who is secretly a mage, and is just really really good at hiding it."

What does a ghost care if you're mad? They've got eternity to make you count your sins.

If Cole met Anders.

Sansa knows, standing on the steps of the Great Sept, staring into Joffrey's triumphant eyes, the blood her father soaking the stones and all the Lannisters' beautiful promises ringing in her ears, that Starks have always been the best liars.

Sakura at work, because damn it, medic-nin should be scary to fight.

30 young sand sibling drabbles, wherein Temari is (sometimes) a lady, Kankurou doesn't play nice with the other kids, and Gaara is perhaps a little socially inept.

Michael and Ryan talk about what might have been for their characters.

Missing scene for the Iron Man 3 movie climax. (I actually wrote this immediately after seeing the movie last year, then completely forgot about it, and just found it again this morning. So here, have some Pepper!)

I didn't realise that it was the Silver Queen's heart you were trying to get inside.

Oberyn Martell, father of daughters.

someone said "touch-starved Finn" and the next thing I know I'm writing a tragic backstory and sickeningly cute OT3 cuddles - “Pick yourself up, FN-2187,” they’d tell him. And then they’d hit him again.

Prompt fill for - Cellular - Ryan - Unknown Number

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. (An Alec Hardison character study.)

plotless pointless, not quite full blown first time smut, Renly centric character bit

If Bro had smiled, even once...

Sanji is carefully placing a cherry on top of the ice cream, his hands nimble, soft, almost—gentle. But all Zoro sees is the way the hems of his pants are still soaked in blood from an earlier skirmish with a marine ship, red seeping into the cracks on the floorboard, spattering across the kitchen floor in a slow drip, drip, drip. Zoro stares, fascinated. He can’t bring himself to look away. (Or, Zoro and Sanji—terrible monsters, in love)

The Atlantis expedition has been lost for three years. SG-1 goes to find them, and arrives just a little too late.

The separate steps along divergent paths don’t change the fact that the destination remains the same.

For Jillian, looking directly at Erin felt like staring into the sun, something that had left her with a pretty heavy prescription for color corrective lenses as a kid. It was dangerous, and it hurt, but it was just so beautiful it made everything worth it.

Five Times Shiro couldn't be knocked off balance, one time he was, and one time he trusted the team to see. Or, when sibling bonding goes wrong. (Standalone story: You do NOT need to read the previous in the 'series' for this)

Hamon: From Japanese, lit. 'blade pattern'. The pattern on the steel that characterizes a katana blade, acquired during the folding, forging and tempering process.

You know how this is going to go.
