    Summary

    So you remember that episode where the Enterprise-D picks up some humans from the 1980's and it serves as a contrast between the 20th century and the 24th? Because I do, and I have THOUGHTS. I think that the premise of cryonics was fundamentally counterproductive to the episode's purpose because cryonics inherently biases the pool towards relatively wealthy people who have their lives together. So I wrote a story about the crew dealing with an untrusting, uncooperative, mentally ill, belligerent trans autistic person. Because I found it amusing. Data heavy and tagged self-indulgent for a reason. Enjoy.

    Summary

    The citizens of a research-focused planetoid have no conventional means of defending themselves from attacks due to their strictly nonviolent culture, but when a team of bio-engineers are tasked with finding some way to handle the threat, their solution is a nonlethal bioweapon more powerful than any of them realize.

    Summary

    A poor adventurer finds himself trapped in an Illithid lair. Normally this is a death sentence, but this specific Mind Flayer has discovered after a long and arduous series of testing that maybe ceremorphosis isn't the only way to create more of their kind. They just need a "willing" test subject.

    And besides, humanoids like this "sex" stuff, right?

    Summary

    “Proof of concept,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. “We’ve tested it thoroughly to ensure it fits the specified nutritional profile, and several members of our team have ingested small amounts of it to ensure there were no adverse effects.”

    “You ate some of it?” I ask, rudely. I’m too irate to mind my language. Who do they think they are? That meat is for Grace. In a way, that meat is Grace.

    “Yes,” ♫♬♯♩♩♫ says. They and the rest of the human life support thrum know better than to be offended by my occasionally strange behaviour. “Obviously we weren’t going to risk the life of Honoured Grace on a completely untested technology.”

    That doesn’t mean much. There’s a lot of things that are safe for ingestion by Eridians that would outright kill a human.

    Trust Grace, I remind myself. He’ll have thought of all this.

    (OR: Grace's meburgers from the book epilogue. Let's talk about those!)

    Summary

    The System had been very clear: User 001 had transmigrated into Shang Qinghua’s character. For the past ten years, as he struggled against the limitations of his child body, Airplane had tried to reconcile himself with the fate that awaited him—the sect burning because of him, his neck snapped by a demon’s hand—and hoped desperately that he could change it somehow.

    Except now… his fate seemed to have changed by itself?

    “You have indeed been selected to join Xing Jiao Peak,” the teacher repeated. “Do you accept?”

    Summary

    Rocky, an Eridian from Erid, is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission. If he fails, his species—and his planet—will perish. With his crewmates dead, Rocky realizes that an impossible task lies in front of him. Hurtling through space aboard a xenonite ship, Rocky must puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery and conquer an extinction-level threat to his species. With the clock ticking, Rocky has to work quickly against it. Alone.

    Or does he?

    A reimagining of Andy Weir’s book ‘Project Hail Mary’ from Rocky’s POV instead of Ryland Grace’s.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    “Bolg is my son.” He prodded again, even though the scales of dwarven armour were rather unforgiving against bare hobbit fingers. “He has been my son nearly all his life, as good as born to me. You dwarves respect adoptions as good as blood kin, and you will respect my family in my home, just the same. Or you'll leave, now, through the door you came in.”

     

    On one fated night, Bilbo Baggins finds a pitiful little creature huddled in his garden, bleeding and broken. Adopted!Bolg AU, written for a kink meme prompt.

    Summary

    Bilbo has heard fairytales of the lost prince of the dwarves, Thorin son of Thrain, who disappeared the day Smaug attacked the Lonely Mountain. But he does not believe in fairytales until he comes across the dwarf sleeping in the depths of Erebor, and kisses him back to life.

    Now Thorin - a hundred and fifty years out of his time - has to confront a world in which his city is empty, his people scattered, his baby brother Frerin is king, two nephews he's never met are missing in action, and a war is brewing right on his doorstep.

    And as if that wasn't complicated enough he's trapped in the body of an old man and falling stupidly in love with a gossipy, grudging little hobbit.

    Summary

    It didn't take long for it to become clear that no one had actually put any thought into how to rebuild a kingdom. The fact that it was haunted wasn't making things any easier.

    In which Bilbo is going to fix things, come hell or high water.

    Summary

    It’s a time loop. After Zabuza’s fifth time dying and starting over again, he felt pretty confident in that assessment, and each cycle, he only becomes more certain. The reset trigger is his death, and the start point is always right before his first confrontation with Hatake.

    But no matter what he does, it ends the same.

    Well, that’s not quite true. Sometimes it’s worse.

    ---

    When Zabuza dies in the Land of Waves after Haku's sacrifice and Gato's betrayal only to wake up again at the beginning of the mission, he sees an opportunity to change things. But when all logical paths lead straight to death, Zabuza is forced to make the illogical choice--side with Hatake and hope that just once, he and Haku can make it out of this alive. Kakashi has his own motives for agreeing to an alliance, however, and with so much at stake, both shinobi find themselves far more entangled with each other than either had intended when they set out.

    (Haku isn't sure what happened to Zabuza-shishou to make him care so much all of a sudden, but he's not complaining. Naruto & Sakura are already planning the wedding. And Sasuke can't believe his definitely-not-a-family just grew by 2.)

    This close, looking directly at him, Luo Binghe can make out what's beneath the blood covering Shizun's forehead.

    He pulls in a sharp breath.

    There, pulsing like a heartbeat, is a flamelike demonic sigil.

    or: Luo Binghe isn't the only Heavenly Demon whose seal breaks at the edge of the Abyss.

    Summary

    A thrill ran through Hob’s frozen body. The words were dangerously close to those forbidden ones. The words that breached the Pact and got a person exactly what they wanted — to be sent outside. No need to pack anything more than a scrap of wool.

    Hob’s stomach clenched in what he recognized, shamefully, as excitement.

    The silo had been quiet for a long time. Far longer than any of its living residents besides him could even remember. Too long, a horrible part of him had started to whisper. After nearly a century and a half of relative peace, Hob had started to realize he was… just… bored.



    Hob never let a simple poisoned atmosphere keep him down. Survival in the silo has been a challenge, but he's making it work.
