Title: Uncanny
Fandom: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Genre: Drama, angst.
Characters/pairings: A dark sort of Lore/Troi.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 3,104
Summary: Was it only because she was used to Data, that she wasn't put off by his inorganic nature? Or was it perhaps because of his inhuman qualities, because his mannerisms and speech were so formal as to render him more machine than man? ("Descent"-fic.)

Warnings: While there is no actual sexual assault (aside from Lore maybe sort of copping a feel?), there is most definitely the threat of sexual assault. Just so you know.

( Lore? Wanted to see her? Good God, whatever for? )

Title:  Catherine and the Pirate (The Reformed Criminal Remix)
Genre:  Historical romance.
Rating:  PG-13
Summary:  A rewrite of the book, Catherine and the Pirate.  Actual plot summary as follows:


Catherine Markham is a seventeen-year-old heiress/socialite in Revolution-era Boston, whose older brother gets kidnapped and held for ransom.  In an effort to rescue him, Catherine seeks out Derrick St. John, otherwise known as her brother's BFF, the captain of a merchant ship, and a former pirate.

Derrick already has his own share of troubles, what with running blockades, trying to atone for the mistakes of his ill-spent youth, and then there's this thing where his now-dead dad was wrongfully branded a traitor a few years back.  The last thing he needs is a side-quest down to Norfolk, in the middle of a war, with a haughty, headstrong young lady.

But said young lady's brother is his bro, so what's a guy to do?  Certainly not say no.  And most definitely not fall in love.

Title: He Did Not Drop
Fandom: Escaflowne
Genre: AU, drama, general?
Characters: Folken, Eries.
Rating: PG-13, for implied blood and injury.
Word count: 327
Summary: Based on a tumblr prompt: "[FolkenxEries] She was the last person he had expected and yet, once the initial shock had worn off, he felt immensely relieved that she was the first to find him alive." (The idea was that someone sent you a pairing and one sentence, and then you wrote the next five only I went way over that, oops.)

( ''Oh, gods,'' she said, her normally placid features overcome with alarm. )

Title: But the Rain
Fandom: Escaflowne
Genre: Drama, angst.
Characters: Zongi, Folken.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 2,007
Summary: In which Folken takes a bath, Zongi fanboys, and the whole thing is quite a bit more somber and depressing than this summary probably makes it out to be. (By no means a Folken/Zongi fic, but could be read as something of a Zongi->Folken fic. What can I say? When Zongi fanboys, he fanboys hard.)

Takes place sometime before the beginning of the series, but as far as when, specifically, well, your guess is as good as mine.

( He is always struck by the beauty of Lord Folken's body. )

Title: Hot Fuzz
Fandom: Hetalia
Genre: Humor, general, romance?
Characters/pairings: Something of a slight AustriaxBelarus.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 1,033
Summary: Austria finds himself straddled and pinned to the ground by Belarus. So she can get a piece of lint from his hair.
Period: Modern.

Inspired by a tumblr prompt I received: "what about some AusBela where the tables are turned, where Bela is the one with the power over Austria?"

( Austria never would have pegged Belarus as a neat freak. )

Title: Scientific Methods
Fandom: Escaflowne
Genre: Meta, crack, humor, romance.
Characters/pairings: Folken/Eries.
Rating: PG-13
Word count: 2,222
Summary: Merle writes Folken/Eries RPF. Which Folken and Eries then find. Awkwardness and previously non-existent sexual tension ensue. What is this I don't even.

In case it wasn't obvious, this takes place near the end of the series, after Folken defects.

( ''And to think, she used to be such an innocent kitten.'' )

Characters/pairings: AustriaxHungary
Genre: Romance, AU.
Rating: PG
Word count: 122

( Making out--for SCIENCE! )
