Summary
She had been obsessed with the Running Man, and McCone, since he was introduced. Her obsession was the only thing that kept her motivated as she trudged through her uptown office drone life.
But her life spirals out of control when she violently turns down her boss at work. She ends up in the slums, working with the underground to turn the tables against the Network.
She helps Ben make it through, playing McCone as she best knows how. They all barely survive, and McCone is convinced to help them kill Killian out of revenge... And his own obsession with Richards.
When the dust settles though, McCone and OC are separated from Ben, and things come to a head between them.

Summary
The Hard Deck.
There's someone new at the bar, and they shouldn't stand out.
A woman, but not in uniform, a form fitting sheathe, or a cute sundress. Her hair is pulled back loosely in a clip, with plenty of frizz from being out in the ocean breeze. She's wearing jeans, snug but not tight. A loose, open plaid shirt reveals a plain but low-cut tee. She's not a stunner, or even trying to be.
She's nothing that should catch his attention, but something about her niggles at him.

Fandoms: Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Video Games)

Summary
The once prosperous Republic is still reeling from the fallout of two brutal wars. The Jedi Order has disappeared, and efforts to recover after the recent destruction have stalled. Strange powers lurk in the shadows, and the foundations of galactic civilization are teetering on a knife's edge, ruin threatening at every side.
At the edge of Republic space, a former Jedi returns from exile, and a smuggler signs on to collect a larger-than-life bounty. An old woman chooses her final student, and, once again, there will be a battle over the shape of the future.
This is a retelling of KOTOR II, from beginning to - if fate and work-life-balance allows - some kind of end. Updated at least once a week until I run out of material. Tags are anticipatory, and NSFW chapters will be marked and tagged in the starting chapter notes.

Summary
Running meant hunger.
But for a runner like Ben Richards, it meant more than one kind of hunger.
Updates Fridays and, if I get comments from four or more people on a Friday chapter, the following Monday. (Yes, I'm bribing you to comment on this work.)

Summary
He published before he was ready. You told him so, in front of everyone. You were right. That’s the problem.
or
Three years of academic rivalry, one catastrophically bad idea, and the specific problem of being completely right about someone who’s still completely wrong for you.
What exactly happened to Ryland Grace when he published his Goldilocks paper?

I Guess the End is Here by Dredorida

Summary
When you woke, it wasn’t slow or drifting- it was all at once. There was no gradual return to consciousness, and no drifting up through layers of half-thought and sensation. One moment there was nothing- no time, no body, no awareness, no self- and the next there was everything, immediate and overwhelming as you came to life like a risen corpse, gasping and coughing, with Grace's name on your lips.
-or-
You wake four years after the events on the Vat, far from home- 11.9 light-years away from everything familiar. Dr. Grace is there- you didn’t lose him, not entirely- but when he wakes, it becomes clear that he doesn’t remember you; doesn’t remember what you meant to each other- and the strain of carrying that alone begins to show, even to him.

Summary
He had left the group of players and was walking toward her.
He took long, confident strides - too confident to be Chad. This was Russ.
Before she knew it, he was next to her and they stood in tense silence for a moment.
He leaned in. When he spoke, it was Russ’s voice, rough and so low that she knew it was meant only for her.
—
Ricky finds herself an unwilling participant in quite a bit of nonsense. Her perspective of the events from episode 4 on.
