Summary
"He didn’t have a plan then, just smoldering rage that suddenly caught fire like the invasive eucalyptus that dotted the hills.
All the losers in his crime books, Homes, Bundy, Gacy, and Dahmer, had the luck to be white men, near perfect camouflage from suspicion, almost invisible to the keystone cops.
He had one better: the crushing chafing mantle of girlhood."

What if Angel enjoyed beating up Riley a little too much... a very AU take on the Yoko Factor.

Summary
" "You only keep him ‘cause he's so sensitive," Willow said, as Spike fed Twinkie more cookies. The little treat had been even lower on the social ladder than she used to be; even Xander had bullied him a little. Twinkie cried easily and often still, but she knew the real reason he was still alive. She could taste the magic in his blood, rich like pastry cream.
"He’s better here than on the street, isn’t that right Lemondrop?"
"Yes, Mr. Spike." The boy’s eyes were glossy from pain and blood loss, but he looked at Spike with obvious affection. Stockholm Syndrome. One of her mother's phrases. Before Willow ripped out her tongue."

Summary
The beating hadn’t done him any favors but Vitus received the letter with a sketch of Stede Bonnet, the ‘Gentleman Pirate’ and known associate of Blackbeard. Officially, everyone in the Navy was on the hunt for him. Unofficially, none of his fellow captains wanted to die the horrible death tangling with anyone connected to Blackbeard.
But their reconnaissance was out of date. Known associate was one thing, married in all the ways that counted was another. They were utterly fucked.

5 Times the Raptors Tried to Kill Miriam, and 1 Time They Didn’t by tardigradetardis

Summary
Miriam thought the job working for InGen sounded perfect. Tropical island, good pay, first dibs on publications… At least, she thought so until she found out that she was the only behaviorist on staff. Once the eggs hatched, it became all she could do to keep up–with the dinosaurs, the science, and her health.

"Second, the raptors—of whatever sort—have put paid to a dozen theories on the origin of birds and contributed to a dozen more by sprouting feathers. And not, to Nikolai’s disappointment, since he holds the equally absurd belief that birds originated from a different reptilian branch, due to the inserted avian DNA.
His genetics team got their act together and went over the DNA thoroughly, and the root gene for feathers wasn’t in the avian segments. It is, as it transpires, in the original dinosaur DNA"

Summary
The retreat of the US government led to the rise of many independent factions in the regions left behind- one particularly notable of these sought to recreate the antebellum South, including its heinous system of chattel slavery.
But all chains break eventually, including levees.

Bookmarker's Notes
“I understand it was typical for decades to name hurricanes- is there one particular name you call the one that freed you?
Not any name we would give a person, no- it is bad luck to give a storm a person name, especially when there are people living that might share it. Katrina was a beautiful name, before it was the storm, and now no one is named that anymore.”

Summary
Sailors call them watermarks. A gift from the sea, a name or symbol written on your chest, meant to guide you to your own true love.
But Stede Bonnet's mark doesn't look like anything at all. Not really. And it certainly doesn't look like 'Edward' or 'Teach' or 'Blackbeard' or a black beard and that's fine. Completely fine.
Ed's absolutely fine with it.

Bookmarker's Notes
"A gardener. Ed can suddenly smell flowers, tiny white ones. He doesn’t know what the fuck they were called, their proper name or whatever. There was a glass vase of them once, or maybe the vase was crystal, and someone had taken them one by one and pinned them into his hair. Someone had said ‘they suit you. These look lovely. No, no one will laugh. There, see? Just so. Perfect.’
The officer is crying in front of him. Ed’s mouth has gone dry and everything tastes like ashes."
