Summary
There’s just something about Lupe.
The Peaches are back for a second season, sans one bombshell of a first baseman. Greta Gill has landed a part in a movie shooting over the summer, and everything Carson’s been waiting for the past year has vanished in the wind. In the wake of her heartbreak, Carson finds solace in an unexpected person- ace pitcher Lupe García. The two may have more in common than they think.

Summary
“He abandoned me,” she murmurs. Mantis isn’t certain if she means Ronin, or Thanos himself, but the result, either way, is clear. Nebula is hurt, and she is alone.
Mantis takes Nebula’s face in both her hands and leans her forehead against hers. Nebula shudders with the contact, but doesn’t move away.
“We will make them sorry,” Mantis promises. “We will make them all sorry. Both of us, together.”
—
Before the formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy, a duplicitous alliance is struck between Thanos and Ego, the Living Planet. In service to this alliance, the Daughters of Thanos, Nebula and Gamora, and Ego’s children, the young celestial Peter Quill and the empath Mantis, come together, each with their own agendas. When an unexpected bond begins to form between Mantis and Nebula, both cast-off daughters in their own right, they must all reassess their roles, their wants, and the intended fate of the universe.
A canon-divergent AU set before GOTG. Bugborg centric.

Summary
Shadowheart should not be wanting this. Tavrak is a distraction, and not one her Lady approves of.
As the pain subsides, Shadowheart massages the back of her hand, unaware of a pair of keen, orcish eyes watching her.
Something will have to give, she thinks. Eventually.
___
Shadowheart is a cleric with a mysterious diety and a very ambiguous moral compass. Tavrak is a half-orc bard relying on her charms and her wits to make it through the difficulties life throws at her and the many messy love affairs haunting her past. Together, they might just get these damned tadpoles out of their heads.
Two missing scenes, taking place throughout Act I.

Summary
Archie loves her partners like a snake— that is to say, if she could unhinge her jaw and swallow them whole, keep them safe and warm in her own body until they became an inseparable part of her, she’d do it in a heartbeat.
Jim loves their partners like a martyr— that is to say, if they could sacrifice themself, body and soul, in some grand blaze of devotion to prove their love, they’d do it in a heartbeat.
Oluwande loves his partners like the sun— that is to say, if he could swear to spend the rest of his days shining warm and gentle on their leaves, nourishing them, helping them to grow, never hot enough to scorch, he would swear it in a heartbeat.
Snippets of a developing relationship between Archie, Jim, and Oluwande. Set throughout s2.

Summary
A four part series, beginning with Never Meet Your Heroes, exploring events following season 1 with a focus on the minor characters- specifically, Black Pete, Lucius, Oluwande, Jim, Frenchie, and Izzy.
Blackbeard has done a lot of wrong in the months since Stede Bonnet's abrupt departure from Barbados- the most heinous wrong, of course, being the murder of Lucius Spriggs. When Stede Bonnet returns and reconciles with the man he loves, what happens to those Blackbeard has hurt the most?
Basically a bunch of character studies surrounding the effects of Ed's actions, trauma, healing, and finding peace and family in unexpected places.

Summary
It strikes Nebula, suddenly, that Mantis is a lot like the sun. Peaceful and warm and bright, but sometimes, too bright. Almost stiflingly so, like it’s difficult to look at her for too long.

Summary
The Fire Lord needs a new hairdresser, a grueling process of vetting and testing and background checking. Sokka might know just the person, though--if only he can find her in the city. And if only he can figure out how to make sure Zuko likes her without revealing the whole, you know. Fire Lord thing.
Or,
Sokka takes Zuko on a date in the city that does not go at all how Zuko expects it to. (At least not at first)

Summary
Derek has a new neighbor who won't stop looking.
Excerpt:
“You’re blind,” Derek said flatly, the anger draining from him so suddenly he felt almost woozy. His vision cleared, his claws sliding back into blunt fingernails.
“Thanks for the memo, genius,” the kid said acidly. “I can still fucking defend myself, so don’t take another damn step.”
“Fuck, I...I’m sorry,” Derek stuttered.
“What?!” The kid’s brow crinkled. “I mean — what?! You’re fucking sorry!?” His lips thinned into a harsh line. “What, is this some kinda Hallmark movie where you’re discovering the error of your ways because you don’t want to rob a blind person?! That’s fucking condescending, man. I’ll have you know that —”
“Just, wait.” Derek interrupted what was apparently the start of a convincing argument as to why he should rob the kid after all, feeling his head start to spin. “This is — it’s a misunderstanding. I’m — I’m not robbing you. You’re — you’re safe, okay? I’m taking three steps back. Just — just let me explain.”
“Explain why you came busting into my apartment? Yeah, go right ahead, man, I can’t wait to hear this epic tale.”
