    Summary

    It's rare, but it happens - Peridot's run into something she can't explain. It's Era 3, peace casts its radiant glow across all of space, and everyone she loves is happy following Steven's departure from Beach City. So what are these surprise feelings she's having for Lapis? Has something changed in her, or could it be something else entirely...?

    Determined to find answers, Peridot summons all her mental might - all her inventiveness, curiosity, confidence and tact (or lack thereof) to write a study for the ages! To express her feelings, and be loved in kind, she first needs to know: what is it about Earth that makes Gems into lovesick couplets? Is there something in the soil? In the sky? Our intrepid academic sets out to interview her friends and allies, building her case to blow open this entire cosmic secret about the peculiarities of this planet. It's either that, or talk to Lapis directly about her feelings. Easy choice, right?

    Spare Time Entertainment is proud to present the great magnum opus of Peridot, the scholar of our time - a romcom of academia taking us from Little Homeworld, to the Moon, to the innermost reaches of the heart. The theory can only take her so far, in...

    LOVE ON EARTH?

    Summary

    … But being perfect is easy, once you get the hang of it. Carrying on after you fail? That’s the hard part.

     

    This is a story about the first time Peridot fused. Well, this is a story about a lot of things happening to Peridot for the first time, but it's mostly about the fusion thing.

    Things got messy afterwards. They - that is, Peridot and Lapis' fusion, which is sort of "they", right? - ran to Pearl for help, and Pearl found she might actually be the one who needs helping, and then everything kind of spiralled from there, but that's not important. Peridot and Lapis fused, and that's a good thing.

    It is a good thing, right?

    Summary

    Just two Homeworld gems trying to figure out life on the confusing, ever-changing planet Earth. Will they learn to adapt and change with it, or will they be forever trapped by their past? Much like a lapidary, perhaps they can help each other grow and shine into their best selves -- or even become something entirely new.
    This fiction goes through the span of the Steven Universe show, keeping to canon as close as possible while showing Lapis and Peridot growing from enemies to roomies to lovers. Each chapter takes place near or around an episode, with true canon divergence happening in season 4.

    Summary

    Loki survives the destruction of the Statesman. He is not sure why.

    Thor is pulled from the wreckage alive but broken, kept breathing by machines in the New Avengers Facility while something unseen continues to unravel him. Loki is left with the unbearable arithmetic of survival: he lived, and his brother is paying the cost.

    Tony Stark refuses to let that be the end of the equation. With the Avengers fractured and everything he built already in ruins, Tony turns to the one thing he still trusts—his ability to fix what’s broken. He will fix Thor. He will protect Loki. If the universe insists on taking everything else, it will not take them. His search for answers leads him to Stephen Strange, a reclusive physician hiding magic, secrets, and a war no one else can see.

    Stephen sees something in Loki he never expected to find. What begins as an uneasy alliance deepens into a slow, volatile attraction neither of them names—but both of them feel. As they are drawn together by loss and desperation, Loki and Stephen build something fragile and forbidden around Thor’s failing body, unaware that Stephen’s hidden war will demand a betrayal that will cost them far more than Thor’s life.

    Summary

    "On a second glance, Aziraphale didn't look all that different--his clothes were frayed at the edges, his shoes scuffed, his bowtie missing--and hang on, was he bleeding?
    Crowley wasn't sure how he'd missed the thin trail of blood running down the side of his very-drenched head, but it was all too noticeable now.
    He found his voice again. "What are you doing here?"
    "Right," Aziraphale said. "Um..." His eyes went unfocused, and he wobbled. Crowley found himself, despite his utter shock at the situation, beginning to worry.
    "Aziraphale, what happened to you?"
    "What do you mean?"
    "You're bleeding."
    "I'm what?" Aziraphale reached up and touched the side of his head, eyes widening in surprise at the blood that smeared his fingertips. "Oh. So I am."
    "What are you--?"
    "Listen," Aziraphale said, "I'm terribly sorry to do this, because I know we aren't talking, but there's something I need to ask of you."
    Crowley nodded slowly, his worry growing the more unfocused the angel's eyes became. "And what's that?"
    "I'm afraid I need your help," Aziraphale said matter-of-factly, and toppled forward without another word."
