This is a surprisingly long story for me, for a canon I only rewatched recently and which a lot of people seem to despise. Heh. However, a) I really enjoy this movie, shite as it is in places, b) I really love Nemo, and c) I really ship these three. Two, three. So. Have eight thousand odd words as a result of my recent rewatch?

Title: Promises Sweet
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003, Movie)
Characters/Pairings: Dr. Henry Jekyll, Edward Hyde, Captain Nemo, mention of Allan Quatermain, Ishmael and the League. Jekyll/Hyde/Nemo
Summary: In Mongolia, after the wounded have been tended and the bodies of the dead brought back aboard the Nautilus, Henry and Edward wander the ship, lost and confused by their own reactions. It's Nemo who finds them, and Nemo who brings them home and finds a sort of peace for the three of them to share
Wordcount: 8347
Warnings/Notes: Right, um. Pre-epilogue, aftermath, canonical character death. Grief, shock, confusion. Multiple personalities, mental issues, Hyde being Hyde. Comfort, companionship, attraction, complicated relationships. Decisions, sharing a bed. No sex. Hopeful ending?
Disclaimer: Not mine

Um. This is a story that I've been trying to write for years, because "Mirror Mirror" and what these two in particular went through during it always affected me. This means, however, that it's something of an idfic, shameless emotional angst and h/c, and I apologise in advance. Also includes references to events during "Space Seed".

Title: Fool's Hopes and Friendship
Rating: Light R
Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series
Characters/Pairings: Leonard McCoy, Nyota Uhura, mention of Spock, Sulu, Mirror!Spock and Mirror!Sulu

Wordcount: 3578
Warnings/Notes: Tags to "Mirror Mirror" and "Space Seed", discussion of attempted/threatened non-con, nonconsensual mind melds, guilt and shame. Also emotional hurt/comfort, friendship, recovery, and a hopeful ending.

Haven't watched or written OUAT in ages, but hey. Written for a prompt on [livejournal.com profile] comment_fic: "Cora doesn't take out her own heart." Probably a lot happier and relatively healthier than that would actually have gone, mind, but I still adore Cora and the twisted, ferocious thing she and Rumple had. If she'd chosen to turn her formidable will to that, instead of power, I can't help but wonder how it would have turned out. What she said to Regina, "You would have been enough". I would have liked to see that.

Title: All or Nothing
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Once Upon A Time (TV)
Characters/Pairings: Cora, Rumpelstiltskin, Regina, mention of Neal/Baelfire. Cora/Rumple, Cora & Rumple & Regina
Summary: A glimpse of how things might potentially have gone if Cora hadn't removed her own heart. If she had chosen the love she had for Rumpelstiltskin, and borne him the child she'd promised him, and made him realise he loved her too
Wordcount: 2512
Warnings/Notes: Alternate universe, canon divergence, villains in love, families, mother & daughter, father & daughter, fate, choices, magic, determination

Part 3 of the gay supervillain fic. In which we deal with fair treatment of henchmen and a wee bit of supervillain backstory. I swear I'm not obsessed with this vid. Honestly I'm not.

Part two of the gay supervillain fic. For [livejournal.com profile] oneiriad, who wanted the serious conversation part of the whole 'defecting to be a supervillain's lover' thing. Um. Hope it turned out okay.

Rating: PG
Fandom: Genghis Khan Music Video - Miike Snow
Characters/Pairings: Michael White (Secret Agent), Sphinx (Supervillain), Jeremy Anders (Henchman). Michael/Sphinx

Disclaimer: Not mine

This music video is the most adorable thing ever. Um. I don't know if Secret Agent Man and Mr Supervillain have official names, I just made these ones up out of whole cloth. I just really wanted something about this vid. It's amazing.

Title: Pas de Deux
Rating: PG
Fandom: Genghis Khan Music Video - Miike Snow
Characters/Pairings: Michael White (Secret Agent), Sphinx (Supervillain), Henchmen. Michael/Sphinx
Summary: Lying shackled beneath a laser by a dancing supervillain who says he loves you gives a man a chance for some self-reflection. And, maybe, a little bit more than that

And again, for a prompt on the kink meme. I like Ellie the noir-detective-in-training, and what's more classic than the detective and the lounge singer? There's a bit of Nick/Nate in the background, but Nick's mostly there to support Ellie. Heh.

Title: Lady in Red
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Fallout 4
Characters/Pairings: Ellie Perkins, Magnolia, Nick Valentine, Male Sole Survivor. Ellie/Magnolia, Ellie & Nick, background Nick/Nate
Summary: At the Third Rail, Ellie Perkins gets her noir monologue on, realises a few things about herself, and sets out to get a date with the woman of her suddenly-realised dreams. Magnolia may not be for keeps, but she sure shows a gal the way around her sexuality in style
Wordcount: 2760
Warnings/Notes: Prompt fic, film noir monologues, femslash, female homosexuality, sexual awakening, attraction, one night stands, friendship, support, hopeful ending

A couple of microfics for [livejournal.com profile] comment_fic:


DCAU, Clark/J'onn, Jewel

Earth looked like a jewel from space. A turquoise or a chrysocolla, shining blue-green in the darkness. A new home, shared together after loss, and all the more precious for it. J'onn watched it, Clark's arm warm and easy around his shoulders, and knew himself loved, contented, and at peace.


Dogma, Metatron & Bethany, Consolation

"What was that for?" he asked, bemused, as she pulled back from the hug. It had been a bit sudden, she allowed. Not that sudden, though. She remembered kind words and a coat when she needed them most.

"For being there," she answered simply, and enjoyed it as he smiled.

Okay, so when I said I wanted some Kronos & Grost fanfic, I was being serious. I have no idea how many people have even seen this movie, and given that there’s no AO3 category for it I’m guessing there’s not much of a fandom. I just wanted a little something post-movie regardless, though. So I wrote it. Heh.

Title: Morning Truths
Rating: PG
Fandom: Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter (1974)
Characters/Pairings: Hieronymus Grost, Captain Kronos. Slightly slashy Grost & Kronos
Summary: Two days after the destruction of Dr. Marcus' vampires, Hieronymus Grost wakes up with his head pillowed in his friend's lap and struggles to face the day without embarrassing himself further. Kronos, for his part, saw nothing embarrassing at all
Wordcount: 1396
Warnings/Notes: POST-MOVIE, vampires, aftermath, sleep, mornings, aches & pains, comfort, companionship, friendship/love, continuing on
Disclaimer: Not mine

Random thing that came into my head. I haven't been staring at Nick's face for a while, I swear.

Title: Worth A Thousand Pictures
Rating: PG
Fandom: Fallout 4
Characters/Pairings: Ellie Perkins, Nick Valentine, Ellie /& Nick
Summary: Nick and Ellie, after the Sole Survivor rescues him from Skinny Malone, as Ellie deals with fact that for a while there she thought she'd lost him

Combining two one-word prompts from the kink meme, 'Immortal' and 'Endless Night'. I've been wanting to do something with these two and immortality for a while, especially given things like Nick's Poe quote. Heh. It's my first time trying to write Hancock, by the way, so I'm not sure how that went.

Title: Made to Last
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Fallout 4
Characters/Pairings: John Hancock, Nick Valentine, mentions of SS. Nick & Hancock
Summary: Nick gets philosophical in the long watches of the night. It's probably not good for him, or for Hancock either, but sometimes something warm can come out of it
Wordcount: 4141
Warnings/Notes: Conversations, ghouls & synths, immortality, angst, fear, despair, hurt/comfort, hope determination, promises, friendship

Kink meme once again. I think I just like writing these as little pick-me-ups. Heh.

Title: Acquired Taste
Rating: PG
Fandom: Fallout 4
Characters/Pairings: Male Sole Survivor, Nick Valentine, Nick/M!SS
Summary: The first kiss deeper than a peck on the lips doesn't go entirely well (static electricity). Doesn't mean it wasn't interesting enough to be going on with, though.

For the kink meme again. I meant to post this yesterday, but Christmas-related panic interfered -_-;

Title: Sheltered

One more quick story before I go to bed for two days and pretend that work is a thing that happens to other people. Heh. Not a prompt fic this time. I thought I'd try Nick/F!SS.

Title: Mornings Grey and Bright
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Fallout 4
Characters/Pairings: Female Sole Survivor, Nick Valentine, Ellie Perkins. Nick/F!SS, Nick & Ellie
Summary: Nora wakes up achey and exhausted at the Valentine Detective Agency, and shambles out into the office to find a half-dressed and rather startled Nick Valentine staring at her. To be fair, she's doing some staring herself. It's not a bad sight to wake up to of a morning
Wordcount: 3928
Warnings/Notes: Exhaustion, aches and pains, unexpected nakedness, embarrassment, coffee, explanations, banter, attraction, insecurity, comfort, romance, happy ending
Disclaimer: Not mine

Again, for a kink meme prompt. I apologise for the spam the last few days, by the way, I'm just having a rough week in work and apparently writing about post-apocalyptic robot detectives is soothing to me. Um. Also. The story features the Stranger as a possibly immortal mission-oriented serial killer slash minor eldritch abomination. I don't know that much about the Mysterious Stranger, not having played the games, this is just based on whatever info I could find on various wikis plus some random insanity. Apologies in advance.

Title: The Lights of their Eyes
Rating: Light R
Fandom: Fallout 4, Fallout
Characters/Pairings: Nick Valentine, the Mysterious Stranger, brief cameos by M!SS and Piper. Nick Valentine/The Mysterious Stranger
Summary: Nick Valentine finally catches up with the Mysterious Stranger. The confrontation doesn't really go any way he might have thought to expect. Turns out the Stranger finds being seen rather ... intriguing
Wordcount: 4542
Warnings/Notes: Prompt fic, shaky canon knowledge, robots/androids, detectives, immortal serial killers, chases, confrontations, anger, fascination, touching, kissing
Disclaimer: Not mine

Again, for a prompt on the kink meme. I really think I like Nick. And this pair. Heh.

Title: Doubting, Dreaming
Rating: PG
Fandom: Fallout 4
Characters/Pairings: Nick Valentine, Male Sole Survivor. Nick/M!SS
Summary: Sole touches him a lot. Nothing weird, nothing funny. Just ... constant. Nick can't help but notice, and consider what it means
Wordcount: 1496
Warnings/Notes: Prompt fic. Touching, touch-starved, introspection, angst, non-sexual intimacy, hurt/comfort, self-acceptance, friendship/love, hope
Disclaimer: Not mine

Um. This is another video game I haven't played, and another canon I don't entirely know. A friend on tumblr had a lot of posts recently about Nick Valentine, though, and ... well. Battered film noir robot detective in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. This is relevant to my interests on a couple of levels, yes? So I watched some things on youtube, and read some things, and browsed the kink meme, and then I came across this prompt. I have such a thing for this. The throat, the vulnerability, the trust. So. Yes. Ah. I wrote a thing? My apologies in advance.

Title: The Ragged Edge
Rating: Light R
Fandom: Fallout 4
Characters/Pairings: (Male) Sole Survivor, Nick Valentine. Nick/M!SS
Summary: There are times when the Sole Survivor cannot help thinking about that gaping tear in Nick's throat. The vulnerability of it, how much it shows he's been hurt, how much ... how much trust he must have to let anyone near it. How much trust he must have to let Sole near it. Though, admittedly, Sole hadn't expected that part. Not at all.
Wordcount: 2962
Warnings/Notes: Okay. Robot/android anatomy, scars, old injuries, offering a throat, vulnerability, trust, demonstration of trust, some intensity, declaration of feelings
Disclaimer: Very much not mine
