Summary:

    "That'll be the ones whose description apparently bashes your gourd. What if I say 'ancestors'? Okay! Bit minimizing, but I suppose you can think of them as ancestors."

    (Spoilers for the Echo miniseries! Wrote the first draft a week after the show dropped, though it took a few revisions to nail down the ending. It takes place shortly after The Cold Light of Earliest Spring, because the visit to the Barton farm is what prompted Team MK and Layla to memorize a bit of ASL.)

Summary:

"He's on a divine mission to help us," says Sam, in the same moment as Bucky says, "Mysterious moon things."

 

Sam and Bucky have spent a while on the Moon Knights' list of "trusted people we should tell that we're plural." But Bucky is mostly Marc's friend, which means Marc gets to decide when they do the reveal, and...look, he's working up to it, okay?

Then Bucky calls about a proto-Thunderbolts mission in Chicago, and every other stressful plan in their life gets put on hold, while Steven and Jake focus on making it through this.

Title: Toto, Too
Fandom: Oz
Characters/Pairings: Toto & Dorothy, pre-Dorothy/Ozma, ensemble
Rating: G

Everyone thinks Toto can't talk...and that's just the way he likes it.

His second fairy adventure is much safer than the first, and his little mistress more adept at all kinds of queer travel; but Toto intends to keep to his old habits as long as possible, just in case.


( 'Where did you go, huh, boy? I know where Dorothy imagines she went, but you must've seen the real thing. Oh, I wish you could talk!' )

Title: This Rabbit Hole Never Ends (1-2)
Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale
Characters/Pairings: Cecil/Carlos, Steve, others
Rating: G
Disclaimer/warnings: Not my characters, just borrowing.

Cecil agrees to move to the otherworld desert to live with Carlos, and discovers that even when they're in a new and unfamiliar place, their relationship hasn't changed.

An anniversary, and a snapshot of what came after.

( Cecil shook himself. What was he doing, dwelling on past stresses? Tonight was supposed to be for celebrating. )

Title: When The Sun Shines, We'll Shine Together
Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale
Characters/Pairings: Cecil/Carlos, Kevin
Rating: T
Disclaimer/warnings: WtNV plot and characters aren't mine. References to character death.

The terrible light never retreated from the otherworld desert. The masked army moved on or were dissolved long ago. With Carlos stranded here, the only thing to keep him alive is his extremely scientific light-blocking invention.

And the only thing to keep Kevin alive is Carlos.

( For himself: strength, stamina, the ability not to lose all hope, and the ability to finally beat this one damn level of Angry Birds he's been stuck on for a solid month now. )

Title: A Matter of Time before All Your Alliances
Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale, The Hunger Games
Characters/Pairings: Cecil & Carlos, Khoshekh, Sheriff's secret police
Rating: T
Warnings: post-traumatic stress, violence, police brutality, badly hurt Khoshekh, references to: non-con, character death, attempted suicide. (So, a bunch of THG standards.)
Disclaimer: All recognizable characters and settings are not mine.

Like everyone else, I needed to write a cathartic Khoshekh fic post-e043, and this is what came out. A follow-up to the AU where Carlos is a Hunger Games victor.

Revolution is hard; building a new society out of the wreckage is harder. Cecil's position in the post-war Panem is shaky at best, and there are times when Carlos can't protect him...or Khoshekh. Very loose remix of e043 Visitor, crossed with e037 The Auction.

( It doesn't occur to him to go knock on one of his fellow Victors' doors for backup. They've been his allies for years, but they've also spent most of that time scattered across the Districts and unable to help in a situation like this, so Carlos the Scientist is self-reliant. )

Title: He Says He Volunteers As Tribute, 2/3: The Victor
Fandom: Welcome to Night Vale, The Hunger Games
Characters/Pairings: one-sided Cecil/Carlos, Leann Hart, Pamela Winchell, Josie, Khoshekh, others
Rating: T (violence, PTSD, prescription drug [ab]use, suicidal ideation, more character death)
Disclaimer: All recognizable characters and settings are not mine.

AU. Carlos has survived the Hunger Games, earning himself a cute nickname and a hefty helping of trauma. One year later, he has to return to the Capitol in the company of next year's tributes...and re-encounter the commentator who still has a frankly scary obsession with him.

( He reads the canned speeches Leann gives him, and walks away with vague memories of saying that such-and-such a district must be the most fascinating place in the country. )
