    Summary

    “Worry not, Captain,” Loki says, kneeling in front of him. “You will not die today.”

    Later, when he's alone, Steve feels the adrenaline drain out of his body, and when he cries, he does so in secret. And when he thanks a god other than his own tonight, he does so in secret as well.

    Summary

    “I’m not a prostitute,” The man sitting in the small plastic chair opposite Junho’s work desk repeated.

    Junho glanced up from the arrest form he was filling out on his computer and studied him. Seong Gihun, age forty-three, resident of Ssangmun-dong. The system showed his only living relative to be his elderly mother. There were numerous citations on file for money issues mostly, but no prostitution. Oh, and today was his birthday.

    “Officer,” the man said, wringing his hands like an old woman and rocking in his seat, “I swear.”

    Junho took his fingers off the keyboard and crossed them over his desk. “Ajusshi, I have you on video without your pants in a popular love hotel.”

    Summary

    Shuri doesn't want to go to a resort on spring break; she has way too much critical, life-or-death work to do in the lab. Ch'ah Toh doesn't want to go back home to his cousin's resort on spring break; he has way too much respect for his culture to sell it out to tourists. One mezcal tasting flight later, they can't seem to keep their hands off each other. Or any of their other body parts either.

    Plus bonus terminal genetic diseases, estranged cousins who want to Be Better, all the angst of trying to get tenured in the humanities, living up to perceived family expectations, and royalty.

    Summary

    “That’s funny, I always thought why was more important than how.”

    Shuri reels back in surprise, the words triggering memories of an underwater cavern and the god she met there. The Black Panther mask snaps into place as she takes in what her shock caused her to miss. The sharper than normal ears, the ridged skin along the girl’s neck, barely discernible to the naked eye. Five elongated slits curve along her collarbones. Gills.

    “Who are you?” Shuri demands

     

    Prompt: Namuri's kid(s) time travel and meet them when they are in their enemies’ phase.
