Summary
I heard myself cry out- and I was gasping in great lungs-fulls of air until the pressure hiked and choked me off again. The spikes of pain became constant and white-hot, but succeeded in clearing enough of the brain fog that I could hear the alarm of-
Of my ship. It was the Mary’s alarm-
-and I realized just how screwed I was.

Summary
Rocky’s impatient, translated sigh was loud. His echolocation could tell where I was and how long it was taking my part of the installation. He was also moving all over the place, which wasn’t unusual, but at the moment, it felt like too much.
My lips thinned and I yanked my arm harder than was necessary. “Ow. Yes, okay! I’m getting there, just…oh, no-“
Seriously? I looked away for two seconds and somehow, my traitorous wrist had actually begun rotating it back the other way.
“I was almost…oh c’mon! No, Rocky- do not ask, just -just hold your darn horses!”
‘Rocky hold what?’
Ah…shoots and ladders. Me and my dumb dumb mouth.

Summary
The Fire Nation Royal Palace is empty.
After the comet,
the Phoenix King declared his sovereignty of the world,
took his military, and left.Firelord Azula defeated her traitorous brother, then banished all who'd sought her harm.
Which must have been everyone, because she was alone.
At least... until an employment ad is posted requesting a very specific type of employee.'For consideration, applicant must be a young, attractive, non-firebending woman with long black hair, golden eyes, and pale complexion. Looking specifically for combat experience, exceptional aim, and some sort of useful, domestic skill (negotiable). Bonus if you generally remain unimpressed, or hate, nearly everything.'

Summary
A series of one shots (possibly more) set in a dystopian Supernatural/Steampunk crossover universe where Dean and Sam work as the Winchester Bros, a mechanic and a scientist duo taking on the usual slog by day, and odd jobs of the supernatural in the Victorian underground by night.
A post-war torn world, rebuilt and restructured with airships in the sky, combustibles on the streets, and synthetic humans in every home, known as TickTock's to the commonfolk. Nothing but tools, all of them, until they aren't anymore.

Summary
Colt is hiding something, Ryland is clueless, and Driver just wants that cookie so effing bad - or: a lot can happen during a three-day camping trip.
"The moment Ryland met Casey could have been a scene in a cheesy romantic movie. One of the good ones, where the leads fall in love at first sight and just know that they've found the One even if they're too scared to admit it to themselves at first. That's how Ryland likes to fantasize about it, at least. And then he imagines the happily ever after that follows once the protagonists get over their insecurities, and a part of him knows that if he gets to kiss Casey, if he gets to feel that soft smile against his lips even once, it would break him to ever let go."

Summary
When Rocky wakes up after Adrian, he's relieved they're both alive, but immediately knows that something is off with Grace. He's having trouble breathing, sleeping a lot, and spiking fevers. As much as Grace wants to blame it on lung irritation from the ammonia in Rocky's atmosphere, Rocky knows he's downplaying it, and it's not going to work.
However, before he can actually do anything about it, the ship's power goes out. Taumoeba have gotten into the fuel and eaten all the astrophage, leaving them with no choice but to steal from the beetles.
Which are on the outside of the ship.
Which means two EVAs and a lot of lab work for Grace, all while his condition declines from what's quickly turning into a serious health problem. All Rocky can do is make sure he has what he needs and try to take care of him as best he can from afar, hoping they can get to safety before Grace's health is too fragile to recover. -

Summary
Jesus, my back.
I pause, gasping for breath — I'm genuinely sweating. And embarrassed. I wonder if Rocky can hear me losing to a slab of wood.
God, I hope he can't. Please God.
It's stuck behind a few empty crates and some miscellaneous spare lab supplies. A few beakers. A blender, for some reason. An ironing board. Why? Because go to hell, Ryland Grace, that's why. You can't have enough fuel to come back but you can have an ironing board with no iron. Here's two kilos of cement-flavoured coma slurry. Kill yourself.
"I'm being dramatic," I tell myself aloud.
I'm really not. Dying in space is a very dramatic situation.
The ways that Rocky and Grace miss everything all the time, yet watch over each other, always.

Trauma responses after the Adrian Mission.
(Painfully accurate, anxiety ridden internalizing for the both of them)

Summary
The door opens.
Claire chokes. Ryland is standing there in blue PJ pants and an oversized PBS t-shirt. He's rubbing his eyes, which are missing his glasses, which makes it even more obvious how similar they look. When his hand falls away, Six watches him process what is standing at his door. His eyes go from Six, down to Claire, then back up to Six.
He laughs, high and stressed, then closes the door in their face.
OR, Six needs help taking care of Claire after they break free from their respective jails. He decides that his younger brother Ryland Grace is the solution.
