    Summary

    Jupiter Jones and Caine Wise were meant to be with one another, and that is plain to see. By the end of the film both characters are tentatively on board with this realization. In this loosely linked series of stories I explore how they might have gotten to that point of realization, and where canon might go from there. And when I'm done with that, I dive off the deep end and explore the question,

    "Okay, but just how quickly could they a) end up in bed together, and b) figure out the entire plot of the story, if c) enough honest communication was employed at various points by various characters."

    I'd say the series is finished, entirely written and just being lightly edited and posted in a weekly fashion... but then I keep writing more stories. So that might not be true. Still. Hurrah for weekend updates.

    Summary

    I was fucked. This man was going to ruin me.
    I knew what I was. I was a somewhat pretty, little Andonian with decent manners and an unplundered arse. I was unscarred and soft spoken. I was meek and terrified of all these Lestran people. Their entire race was bigger and stronger than mine. I was educated, but no one buys an exotic slave for their education. I was doomed to belong to a master who wanted to fuck me in the arse.
    The giant was too big. Surely, he didn't think ... Surely no one would think that I could ...

    Summary

    “I could devour you,” Samiel says gently, and Jay can feel the heat of his words sinking into his translator. “Won't you let me, pretty human? I'd make it ever so good for you.” His voice is intimate, filthy; that of a lover. Of a predator that has caught its prey.

    Or:

    Wing Commander Jason Lane is doing his best. He's got a political coup to stop; a peace treaty to negotiate; half a planet out to kill him and - oh yes, Samiel.

    Always, Samiel.

    Summary

    This is an age-old story, a story of love found, lost and then found again, grown.
    A story with wolf splices, mermen, flesh-implanted weapons and resorts the size of whole planets.
    or:
    “Why haven’t we been doing this all along?”
    “Your Majesty had ethical qualms. Had I known what it would take to help you overcome them, I would have dropped my pants so much sooner.”

    An AU multi-chapter set in Jupiter Ascending ‘verse, with dashing Finnick Odair borrowed from The Hunger Games, along with some elements of his background story, as well as the gritty realistic atmosphere and dystopian vibes.
    JA fans will be able to understand the story completely without any prior knowledge of THG. Just keep in mind that Finnick is a charismatic flirt with a heart of gold.
    I did my best to adapt it for THG fans, too. Finn deserves more fics dedicated to him, as he deserves not to die in them.
    Splices are something akin to Avoxes in this 'verse.
    Happy ending is guaranteed.
    Even Sean Bean Stinger Apini does not die in this story. What a tragic waste of a perfectly good trope.

    Summary

    Erik is an A-list action star who is notoriously difficult to work with, until the day he gets cast alongside Charles Xavier, rom-com darling who can charm the pants off movie audiences the world over and apparently even one Erik Lehnsherr. The paparazzi catch them out and about soon enough, and their real-life Hollywood movie romance becomes instant tabloid fodder.
