  1. Summary

    In which I self-indulgently shoehorn my current oc into whatever facets of the Marvel Universe I feel like with minimal regard for canon

    Cliff notes on said OC: their name is Eddie Smith; they're nonbinary and use they/them pronouns; they're a mutant; their abilities include turning their skin to stone, turning other things to stone while touching them, making said stone become super spiky (which does leave behind wounds on their skin when it goes away), and a not-particularly-powerful healing factor (think like what Deadpool heals in seconds, Eddie heals in days)

    Anyway, this is mostly just me typing out the shit I daydream at work for fun and as a writing exercise, it won't be super story based and it'll mostly be just edited versions of various Marvel scenes I like.

    Summary

    It's hard to think for yourself when you've never had to think before. It's worse when your problem-solving is all limited by modules worth less than the load they take in your processing.

    Unfortunately, flawed knowledge modules are better than no modules at all, which is what SecUnit003 aka "an idiot" now has to think of a way to get around without alerting either of the smarter, meaner, and cagier MIs that keep pinging it.

    I am an idiot and I have made a terrible mistake. Now I have to fix it before Murderbot, y'know, murders me.

    Summary

    I find the character of SecUnit 03, a.k.a. Three, intriguing from a storytelling perspective. It is ‘tabula rasa’ in ways that Murderbot is not and cannot be. This takes place during the little-described period of waiting at the end of Network Effect, and will almost certainly be non-canon after System Collapse comes out.

    Heed the tags. Three will find its way in the end (because that is how I roll), but it has not escaped the Corporation Rim unscathed. There will be pain, fear, self-doubt, depression, and one very bad decision as Three stumbles its way out of the past.

    Summary

    A series of stories in the world of the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells.

    In it, three constructs find that, just maybe, each of them holds one piece to a puzzle that's greater than the sum of its parts.

    Summary

    “You saved my life, oh mighty Witcher. I have basically no choice but to follow you.”

    ***

    Under mysterious circumstances, Jaskier gets blessed with magic. When Geralt saves Jaskier's life, he is forced to fulfil three wishes for the Witcher. It's more complicated than Jaskier imagined. Mostly because Geralt insists he doesn't want anything from life.

    A Djinn!Jaskier AU with copious amounts of angst. And self-drawn art.

    Alternative summary from Alex_Storm: "Poor Jaskier, cursed to live and to follow and stuck with all this magic devotion to a man who’s sworn to kill creatures like him!"
