Summary:

Marc has the world's most tiring plane ride. Steven keeps second-guessing his theories about how this "Daemon of Khonshu" gig works. Zillah tries to mediate between them, in between naps. Khonshu has to be extra-manipulative, by which I mean extra-shouty, to keep them from communicating a little too well.

Plus: the other Daemons of the Ennead, who aren't much help, but at least they look really cool.

Additional Tags: Identity Issues, Dissociative Identity Disorder, Alternate Universe - Daemons, Hurt/Comfort

Summary:

Steven has never felt as connected with his daemon as people are supposed to. And he did, technically, sort of, almost leave the house without her one time. But that's probably fine, right? Or at least, it's not as bad as it sounds?

Or: I haven't written any non-Yuletide fic for years, and then a Moon Knight plotbunny showed up and whacked me over the head with like five of my favorite narrative things, so here we are.

Title: Vacation (Had To Get Away)
Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale
Characters/Pairings: Cecil/Carlos, Rochelle, Girl Scouts, Faceless Old Woman, others
Rating: T
Disclaimer: Night Vale and everything related are mine. All mine. Because I am Joseph Fink, creator of Welcome to Night Vale. Yes indeed. The real Joseph Fink, that's me.

Post-episode for "Missing."

They're not fleeing town. Just...going on vacation. At the last minute. With people from all over Night Vale (not rebel sympathizers or anything! just friendly, helpful, ordinary small-town folks!) working together to speed their exit along.

( A trio of yellow helicopters are visible in the sky by the time they burst through the doors. )

Title: It's A Bird! It's A Plane! It's...A Chair!
Rating: G
Characters/pairings: Jon, "Stephen", the Obama that only Republicans can see, Stephen Junior
Disclaimer: #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement. Characters belong to the Report. Names of real people are used in a fictitious context, and all dialogue, actions, and content are products of the author's imagination only.

Prompted by kribban, a sequel to the AU where "Stephen" is a superhero. (Hat tip to politicette for the title.) Now with a mirror on the AO3.

Jon, the new reporter in town, has already been rescued once by blowhard superhero The Eagle. Now it's time for him to meet the conceited crusader's sworn arch-enemy....

( 'Maybe I think this city deserves a better class of journalist.' )

Title: Stone By Stone
Rating: R
Pairings/Characters: "Stephen"/Bill O'Reilly, "Stephen"/OMC, Liz/Jack, "Stephen"/Liz, various FOX cameos
Warnings: Slavefic, associated abuse (sexual and otherwise), (skip) non-con, non-main character death
Disclaimer: #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement. Characters belong to the Report and the creators of 30 Rock. Names of real people are used in a fictitious context, and all dialogue, actions, and content are products of the author's imagination only. With apologies to everyone involved, especially Tina Fey.

A prequel one-shot for the Castle Down 'verse, which for some reason turned into a 30 Rock crossover. Scenes from Stephen's life in Vulpis before the war, and his doomed friendship with one of the other "pets" he got to know there.

Refers to the Wørd "Bite The Hand That Feeds You", which unwittingly provided this universe a bit of backstory. Other references: the O'Reilly tartan; the Megyn Kelly meme. Title is another lyric from the Emilie Autumn song.

( 'I'm on a very important mission for General Bill O'Reilly, and you are infringing on his right to have me walk here!' )

Title: Fireworks and Waterfalls
Fandom: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Characters/Pairings: pre-Kyoko/Sayaka, Yuma
Rating: G
Disclaimer: MadoMagi characters and plot aren't mine.

A battle in a dark and ruined barrier, from a timeline where Sayaka, Kyoko, and Yuma have all contracted and met up.

For the first of girlgay's planned-weekly prompts: Create a haunting depiction of the eldritch beauty of an abandoned elf kingdom. Also here on the AO3.
