Summary
“Goodnight, Dad!”
“Goodnight, duckling!” His smile dropped when the door clicked shut. Closed his eyes. Counted to ten. It wouldn’t do to blow a hole in the hotel they just finished. He’s spent too much of his life blowing up shit just because he could fix it afterwards. As if there were no consequences to being a giant rage monster just because nothing stayed broken. It’s a problem he got under wraps a few thousand years ago, but few things challenge his control like Charlie, her safety, their lack of relationship. But, no, this wasn’t about that; It was about that asshole being to chickenshit to go to the top and instead bothering little girls with too much on their plate.
***
It's strange for Lucifer to wander back into Hellish society after centuries of isolation. There was a reason he left, a reason he no longer even tried. But Charlie had a plan. Who knew if it was even going to work, but there was no way in Hell he was going to let her stick it to Heaven without help.
If only that radio demon wasn't such an asshole.Updates Tuesday

Summary
“Let me get this straight,” Adachi says when everyone’s been topped up and a couple of new bottles sit between them. Adachi appears to pause over his choice of phrasing before shaking his head and continuing. “The question isn’t so much if we let the guy who shot Kasuga get into a relationship with him, but, what? How do we get Kasuga to come out of the closet?”
“Worse.” Zhao sighs. “How do we get Kasuga to realize he’s in the closet.”

Arakawa comes back into Ichiban's life. It's not as straightforward as Ichiban hopes. -

Summary
“Timothy made a lot of bad decisions... So here he was alone on Elpis, with no way out and no official papers because, to put the cherry on top, he didn’t officially exist anymore. God, he sure helped that not everyone on Elpis was as mad as they made Pandorans up to be.”
---
Timothy’s boss sends him down alone, with minimal training, a couple of guns, and a couple of AI’s so experimental that don’t even have their learning algorithms up and running. There’s a lot on the line and Timothy is the man for the job; mostly because he’s the only one for around. Realistically, it going to be only days before Timothy is decomposing on the moon’s surface.Series

Summary
Timothy and Vaughn get the opportunity of a lifetime, the possibility of a free fixer-upper android. Sure, they both have no money to even really fix an android, with Vaughn going to school and Timothy trying to pay back his loans after dropping out, but how hard can it be, really?
---
Set in the Detroit universe. You don't really need to play the game to read this. It's basically just an Android AU with a bit of spice.Series

Summary
Spock struggles with his sexually repressed upbringing when the blood fever hits. (Pretty standard K/S Pon Farr story, self-indulgently focusing on the aspects of it that push my buttons the most. I have no shame. Spock totally does, though.)

Summary
“Hey, if we get out of here, let’s go to a museum on our next shore leave. Have you ever seen da Vinci's notebooks?”
“I have not.”
“I'll take you,” Jim vows, “We'll find out where they are and we'll go there.”
When yet another away mission goes awry, Jim and Spock are left stranded on a hostile planet with nothing to do but talk. What follows is a conversation about art and literature, life and death, love and friendship.

Summary
Neither of them really thought it would work. Monoco had just made a dumb comment about Verso’s feet as he disrobed for sex, and one thing led to another.
“Oh shit, that worked?” Verso said, lying on his back with his leg outstretched for Monoco to grab. “Huh. How do you feel?”
Monoco felt — well, he felt a lot.
Or: Monoco uses a dumb loophole to turn into Verso and then gets fucked in the ass about it.

Summary
A good bond requires upkeep. They aren't always good, and they aren't always good about talking it out. Extenuating factors can help with that.
