    Summary

    "♩ ♩ ♬ ♩ ♪ ♫! [Mean very important! Not many!]"

    Grace racks his brain for a moment, then offers, "Precious?"

    "[Yes! Teachers precious! Grace precious!]"

    On Erid, teachers are the protected, prized few. Rocky learns that Grace was a teacher, and they have a discussion. (Can it be counted as one if dissonant notes are shrieked at the revelation for the majority of it?)

    Summary

    Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.

    What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.

    or

    Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.

    UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

    Summary

    The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still. 

    A child, I realize with a start.

    That’s a child! 

    “Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.

    “Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students. 

    Used. 

    The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

    Summary

    It's not jealousy. Adrian is adamant about that. They are actually insisting that it’s not any emotion at all. Not even dislike. They are simply completely uninterested in anything that concerns “the human”. 

    Rocky believes them. Adrian has always been the level-headed one out of the two of them. They are too logical to be jealous. They acknowledge that Grace and Rocky have a special bond after everything they went through together and also understand that none of that will ever pose a threat to their relationship. 

    Neither are they heartless or ungrateful. They know that Grace is the only reason that Rocky is back at all, the only reason their star has stopped dying. Adrian has told Rocky again and again that they are grateful and happy and wish the alien no ill will. They even helped with the construction of the biodome.

    And yet they have no desire to get to know Grace. 

    **************

    You know those videos where the dad is like "You may keep the cat but I will have nothing to do with it" and a few days later they are smothering the kitty with cuddles and love?

    Adrian never stood a chance.

    Summary

    The Hail Mary has been shot out into the depths of the infinite void of space to search for an answer that may not even be there. Aboard, the three crew members lay in stasis as the ship hurtles like an arrow towards a distant star, with no hope of return, but a desperate hope to make things right.

    At home, two brothers are left in sudden and violent grief. A woman grapples with whether or not she made the right decision. The world strains and suffers under the weight of the coming Fimbulwinter.

    And then one of the beetles returns.

    Thirteen years early.

    Summary

    For all intents and purposes, this strange woman looks indistinguishable from a strange man. The disguise fooled Satomi, anyway. Or, partially fooled. Maybe this is why she, despite her terror, so willingly climbed into the passenger side of her car and allowed herself to be driven away. A deep, buried ruby that pulsed in recognition.

    Summary

    In modern day London, Tom finds a dark-haired boy lying unconscious in the snow in front of his Children's Home. The circumstances of his appearance are suspicious to say the least, just as the fact that the boy doesn't remember anything apart from his name: Harry.

    How can this boy resist his powers? What was this green light when he appeared out of nowhere? Tom is determined to solve the mystery of Harry, but if he's not careful, he might find more than he bargained for.


    A story spanning more than a decade, exploring the slow growing bond of two boys that everything opposes. If length doesn't scare you off and you like thorough character development, then welcome to a tale of obsession, mystery, hope, and love found even in the darkest of places.

    Summary

    “You know what I think?” Daniel begins, and Armand responds by way of an indulgent flick of his wrist, a raise of his eyebrows. “I think you weren’t just bored but jealous. Jealous of Louis’s attention, maybe mine too. And you couldn’t resist having a little bit of that attention on you. And then there was the chance to observe a real life human specimen in the flesh, tap on the glass and see what I do. I don’t think you could resist it.”

    Mid-Dubai, Daniel is tired, frustrated and generally sick of Armand’s bullshit. He has some things to get off his chest.

    I wanted to take Daniel's canon compliant 'splinter of coldness' out for a ride.

    Summary

    The story goes like this:
    In 1973, Armand met a beautiful boy and chased him around the world, until the boy finally stopped running and started loving him back.
    In 1985, Armand erased all of the boy's memories, and let him go to live a normal human life.
    In 2022, Armand was desperate and heartbroken enough to bind them together forever.

    That's the story... according to Armand, who can't string three words together without sneaking a gaslighting attempt in.
    So yeah.
    No.

     

    Or: Armand tells Daniel the "truth" about their relationship after '73. Daniel calls bullshit.

    Summary

    Jesus,” Daniel said, once his dead heart had stopped racing.

    “I don’t care for him,” Armand said. He was tapping away at his iPad. “Tell me. Which word do you think would cause greater offense: vapid or insipid?”

    “Insipid,” Daniel said immediately, then, taking a closer look at the screen, “Are you fucking review bombing Lestat’s album?”

    “It’s something to do,” Armand sighed.

    Daniel just wants to get through The Vampire Lestat's documentary in one piece. The Vampires Lestat, Louis and Armand aren't making it any easier for him.

    Summary

    ISO: Carer to look after my father for 8 weeks this summer.
    Dad is 71, early stage Parkinson’s disease, broke his hip 6 weeks ago. No signs of cognitive decline; mostly needs help with household tasks (cooking, light cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping), getting dressed, showering, changing cat litter/general cat care, getting to and from appointments.
    Please know what you are getting into; Dad is physically more or less in good health but awful at accepting his limitations, unnecessarily mean, generally uncooperative, and largely nocturnal. Imagine yourself caring for a feral raccoon that is convinced it’s going to write another book, then subtract everything that is cute about raccoons.
    $20/hour, roughly 4 hours a day. Must be able to pass a background check and lift 50 lbs. Patience of a saint not required but preferred.

    Summary

    Satomi is about to take his cock in hand when his phone buzzes. He blinks blearily, glasses askew. With one finger still half-buried in the hot clutch of his ass he reaches blindly for the phone, opens up his text thread with Kyouji, and reads: dinner tonight? could go for some hot pot! followed by a sticker featuring a heart-eyed cat plucking a prawn directly from a bubbly hotpot bowl with an extended claw.

    Satomi is so profoundly flooded with self-destructive rage upon bearing witness to this infernal duo of texts, he blacks out.

    Summary

    “Such a good fledgling,” he says, drops the cigarette, then twists further around in Daniel’s arms to reward him with a kiss; it’s a cheeky one, just a little dirty, full of a coy promise with the way Armand’s tongue swipes through his mouth, and just when Daniel is about to give chase and go in for more, Armand pulls back, the little shit. “Watch the parade, beloved,” he says, eyes like a million sparklers.

    Daniel growls, but does as he’s told, because A) this parade looks kinda awesome, and B) if he’s a good little fledgling, then maybe he’ll get to take Armand’s tights off him with his teeth.

     
    Or: Armand takes Daniel to Venice, for the Carnevale.

    Summary

    That leaves Daniel and Armand, still covered in dust, sitting in the living room.

    “So,” Daniel pours a glass from the copper pot and plops a sugar in because why not? He deserves a little treat after destroying an immortal marriage. “Does he get the penthouse in the divorce? Who signed the papers?”

    Armand’s fingers are rubbing back and forth in that little tell. They press hard enough that his pale nails turn white.

    Summary

    An Eridian mining crew find a human welded into a stranded ship on the surface of a moon. They bring him back to Erid, to the only other human they know.

    Something in Grace's chest flickered into life. He had buried it so long ago that he hardly knew what it was anymore, and so he took off his glasses and cleaned them on the edge of his cardigan, as if Rocky's words were a smudge he could clear away before finding the will to hope.

    “Ah…” his words failed halfway out of his mouth. Rocky chittered at him, a little sound of encouragement. “There’s another human? Here. And… alive?”

    Summary

    He’s sitting on a beach he hates, trading shitty jokes with a centuries-old monster whose body count would put Ed Gein to shame and who is almost certainly also plotting to turn him into a flesh lampshade.

    “Don’t be dramatic,” Armand says, picking up on that thread, “I do wish you’d stop returning to that.”
