For all you shatter is our seeming, And in breaking we are free

Written for a prompt on comment_fic, which wanted G'Kar/Londo and love. I haven't written Babylon 5 in ages, but I will always love these two, as amazingly painful as they are.

Title: A Good Death
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Babylon 5
Characters/Pairings: G'Kar, Londo Mollari. G'Kar/Londo
Summary: G'Kar and Londo, in the afterlife after all is said and done. It is a mark of who they are, perhaps, that this is the sign of their love
Wordcount: 1539
Warnings/Notes: POST-CANON. Afterlife. Regret and apologies and forgiveness and love.

Written for a prompt on the kinkmeme. My first attempt at Team Peninsula.

Title: Greater Love
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (TV)
Characters/Pairings: Duke of Wellington, Jonathan Strange, Colquhoun Grant, mention of Colonel De Lancey. Wellington/Strange/Grant
Summary: "Can a magician kill a man by magic?" In the aftermath of Waterloo, Wellington revisits that conversation with Strange and Grant in an effort to put his shattered magician back together. Whether or not it entirely works, the three of them do create a moment of comfort and companionship for themselves.
Wordcount: 3329
Warnings/Notes: Aftermath of Waterloo, grief/loss, survivor guilt, self-hatred, hurt/comfort, comrades in arms, thankful-to-be-alive kissing/relationships
Disclaimer: Not mine

Written for a prompt on the kinkmeme, about the theory that Childermass is the Raven King's bastard. I feel sort of weird writing it, since I also ship Uskglass/Childermass a little bit, but I thought I'd give it a go.

Title: Fathers and Sons
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (book, largely)
Characters/Pairings: John Childermass, William of Lanchester, discussion of John Uskglass and Black Joan. Background John Uskglass/Black Joan.
Summary: John Childermass discovers that he is the Raven King's bastard. Being his mother's son and of certain opinions, this conversation does not entirely go as John Uskglass might have expected. Fortunately, it is not John Uskglass doing the talking. It's William of Lanchester, bearing uneasy news once again, and with some weary aplomb. He always knew his king's romances would one day get them in trouble, after all
Wordcount: 5502
Warnings/Notes: Discussions of illegitimate children, bastardy, abandonment, anger, cultural differences, family reunions, reconciliation, class differences, etc. Hopeful ending.
Disclaimer: Not mine.

A small addendum to The King's Roads that got rather long on me. I wanted h/c in the aftermath of the previous story, Childermass and Grant's journey north and everyone's fear/grief over it. I wanted post-apocalyptic family feels, mostly. What I ended up with was angry Emma, unconscious Childermass, and poor Major Grant getting yelled at a bit. And family feels. Heh. My apologies to all. Venturing a little towards Emma/Segundus/Childermass, with Jonathan/Arabella and possibly hints of Jonathan/Arabella/undead!Grant as well. Because I'm cracked. Maybe hints of Stephen/Vinculus too.


Title: The King's Roads: Family Disputes
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (TV)
Characters/Pairings: Emma Wintertowne, John Segundus, John Childermass, Mr Honeyfoot, Stephen Black, Vinculus, Arabella Strange, Major Grant, Walter Pole, mention of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. Ensemble, hinted Emma/John/John, Arabella/Jonathan(/Grant) and possibly Stephen/Vinculus, as well as Emma & Arabella
Summary: In which there are unconscious spies, angry warriors, sheepish undead majors, much hurt/comfort and the odd threat of shooting
Wordcount: 4102
Warnings/Notes: Post-Apocalyptic AU, mentions of past horrors, mention of loss of limbs, hurt/comfort, anger, families of choice, protectiveness, relief
Disclaimer: Not mine

I thought I'd finally try this pair. They, ah, they're more fluffy than my usual. Heh. This is sort of a combination of a couple of kinkmeme prompts, one about Segundus and Childermass on a quest in Faerie, and one about Childermass with a sword in his hand. I'm not sure how well it hews to either one, but it's too late now. Heh.

Title: The Bramble Path
Rating: PG
Fandom: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
Characters/Pairings: John Segundus, John Childermass, Mr Honeyfoot gets crashed into in passing. Childermass/Segundus
Summary: John Segundus and John Childermass find themselves trapped in a dark dream of a faerie forest together, and must escape before sunrise or risk never waking again. The fact that they somewhat fall in love over the course of it is largely an accident
Wordcount: 7613
Warnings/Notes: Dreams, quests, faerie forests, magic, swords, comrades in arms, falling in love, violence, fluff and silliness, reunions, kissing
Disclaimer: Not mine

I think I'll link to AO3 on this one, since it's an unwieldy 15,700 words and six chapters long, and I don't want to spam chapters -_-; A touch longer than my usual this last while, this one. Written for a prompt on the kink meme.

Title: On the March
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (TV)
Characters/Pairings: Major Calquhoun Grant, John Childermass, cameos/mentions of Arabella Strange, John Segundus, Mr Honeyfoot, Emma Pole and Jonathan Strange. Grant/Childermass, Grant & Arabella, hints of past Grant/Strange
Summary: A monster out of fairytales is ravaging the Yorkshire moors. Childermass sets out to deal with it and, rather than let him do so alone, Arabella Strange volunteers Major Grant to keep him company (and keep him from getting killed). It is not initially a friendly partnership, but it does warm somewhat once the creature makes itself known. It's hard not to appreciate someone who risks his life alongside you
Wordcount: 15,751
Warnings/Notes: *deep breath* Action/Adventure, investigation, monster hunting, folkloric monsters (the barghest), magic, magical violence, illness, fainting, exhaustion, protectiveness, comrades in arms, living landscapes, hurt/comfort, past relationships, developing current relationship, escape, safety, scars, promises
Disclaimer: Not mine

Something of the mildly smutty companion to On the Road to York. John Childermass went oddly synesthetic on me, for some reason. Also, this is very much TV!verse, borrowing a lot from Episode 7.

Title: Soot-Salt and Satisfaction
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (TV)
Characters/Pairings: John Childermass, Stephen Black, Vinculus. Childermass/Stephen/Vinculus
Summary: John Childermass lays back in a king's fairy bower, and considers fate, prophecy, and the men he shares it with. They've come a ways and paid a price or two to end up there, after all
Wordcount: 2658
Warnings/Notes: Post-coital bed sharing, snuggling, contemplation, developing relationship, scars, history, fate/prophecy, magic, faerie, senses and sensation, lust, protectiveness, sensuality, smoking
Disclaimer: Not mine

This was written (somewhat hastily) for a prompt on the kink meme, which I have just discovered and which makes me very happy. This was possibly not exactly to the prompt, as I never got as far as the Raven King's return, but I hope it's not too far wrong.

Title: The King's Roads
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (TV)
Characters/Pairings: Ensemble. Emma Pole, John Segundus, Stephen Black, John Childermass, Arabella Strange, Mr Honeyfoot, Vinculus, Colquhoun Grant, Walter Pole, mention of Jonathan Strange, Gilbert Norrell, the Raven King, original faeries, original monsters
Summary: More than magic has come through the mirrors, and England has fallen to terror and ruin in the spaces between the worlds. In Last Hope, the last free citadel in the North, the survivors search for some means to push back the monstrous armies, and may have found it in the charnel house that was once London
Wordcount: 4540
Warnings/Notes: Post-Canon, Future Fic, Post Apocalypse, Dimensional Shifting, Magic, Plague, Demons, Monsters, Undead, Safe Places, Sieges, Last Cities, Spies, Magicians, Team, Hope, Hopeful Ending

While I'm seeing about getting voices down.

Title: A Hedge, A Coat, And Thou
Rating: Gen
Fandom: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell (TV)
Characters/Pairings: Vinculus, John Childermass. Mildly Vinculus/Childermass
Summary: Vinculus and Childermass are abroad in Yorkshire on a rainswept night, and end up huddling under a hedge for warmth. Childermass grumpily offers to share his coat, and Vinculus is more than happy to accept
Wordcount: 1319
Warnings/Notes: Rain, huddling for warmth, grumpiness, late night conversations, mild flirting

I was flipping channels the other day and accidentally found myself watching the tail end of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". It made me think of Civil War era vampires, Western vampires, and then naturally M7. Um. So. Have a very long, very hastily written and very random M7 vampire AU?

Title: Beneath the Skin
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: The Magnificent Seven (TV)
Characters/Pairings: Ezra Standish, Nathan Jackson, original vampire characters, and a little bit of Buck. Nathan & Ezra, mostly
Summary: Ezra Standish can recognise a vampire on sight. He's not quite a hunter, aiming more for self-defence, but at a push he might be close enough to count. When a stagecoach full of vampires rolls into Four Corners, he finds himself pushed, and a great deal more besides. It turns out he's not the only one of the Seven nursing a dark supernatural secret
Wordcount: 8827
Warnings/Notes: Vampire AU, canon character as vampire, vampire hunters, period-typical racism, reference to slavery, violence, battle, some blood and gore, identity reveals, trust issues, reconciliation, friendship
