    Summary

    “The Maedhros who stands before his son is not one thing but many. He is a struck-down statue. He is a fading demon. He is a sword in a nuclear war. He is historical debris. He is the sum of a nation’s ruin. He is the first sunset of the Empire’s apocalypse. He is Elrond’s beloved Baba, who would find him under every starless sky. Archives will dissect him. Historians will redeem him. Writers will swallow him whole.”

    In 1937, notorious Indian revolutionary Maedhros Fëanorian and his brother Maglor, take in a British colonial officer's twin sons and raise them to adulthood. Decades later, Elrond Peredhel, trying to leave a family tragedy behind in England, returns to India during a time of political turbulence and finds that everything, from the national landscape to his firebrand father, the ineffable Comrade Maedhros, has changed. Chapter 19: Epilogue, Afterword and 'Alternate' Ending.

    Summary

    Stopping to explore Jamrock between the aerostatic ride from Graad to Revachol to getting on the train that would take Artemy and Daniil to the Academie de Revachol in Revachol East was a fairly pleasant experience.
    Well, except for the murder.

    Summary

    Bilbo Baggins, a forty year old hacker-slash-bookshop proprietor, found some measure of relief when he found his way back to his parents' estate in the countryside in the wake of a sudden sweeping viral apocalypse. However, in Bag End he finds only ghosts, and he soon realizes that relief is a far cry from fulfillment or closure. Enter a surprise visit from his mother's attorney and his ragtag group of foreigners led by an honest-to-God king (who may or may not be exactly Bilbo's type). According to Gandalf, they may somehow have the solution to Europe's current pesky zombie problem. For his and the world's sake, Bilbo can only hope.

    [A fairly epic length modern AU retelling of the Hobbit as the worst road trip in history, featuring motorcycles, slow-burn romance, and zombies. Yeah, I know.]

    Summary

    Ten years have passed since the fall of Babel, and whispers now swirl of a new invention being constructed in Britain. An invention capable of restoring uncontested British hegemony.

    Hermes can not allow such a thing to come to fruition. And neither can Victoire. With her return to Britain, she places herself on a collision course with not only the empire, but the last remaining vestige of her life at Babel.

    The final act in a tragedy a decade delayed is now set to play out, as Victoire and Letty finally draw the circle the four of them forged together back at Babel to its final inevitable close.

    Summary

    “He wounds, Cub. You are aware of that.”

    “Yes. But he also heals. What we saw of him back then was also a reflection of us. He became what he needed to be in order to do his duties. We were hostile to one another, Stakh. Imagine how it was for us and how it was for an outsider… how it still is for an outsider.” Artemy looked down. It’s been months since the plague ended and still others treated Dankovsky like a stranger. He treated himself as a stranger. Calling him any other thing would have felt disingenuous... but it still felt wrong.

    “Of course. Humans need to adapt to their surroundings to live and survive. But snakes do not adapt when their skins shed, nor do they become anew. They become more of what they already are.” Rubin spoke slowly, choosing his words with either care or caution while looking at Daniil’s signature coat on the rack.

    Summary

    Percy, Nico and Jason have been sent to Hogwarts because the gods hate them apparently, and Hecate is in need of help, it's just a shame the kid they're sent to protect is so against letting them help him. How do you help someone who doesn't want you to? Especially when they may as well be a ticking time bomb?

    AKA, my take on the Demigods go to Hogwarts fic because it's a fun cliché and sometimes you've just gotta go back to your roots.

    Summary

    It was their birthright, their burden. He had never asked for this life, but the fates saw fit to paint his brow in blood long before he was ever born. Sometimes he grew weary of it. His joints would ache, his bones turned to lead, but he was the son of a God, war was what he was made for and to war he would go.

     

    The Giant War has left the children of the Gods weak. Still, Hecate calls upon the children of the Three Kings to ensure the stability of Wizard kind.

     

    OR the demigods just really want to get this over with and the gods have other ideas

    Summary

    LGBTQ rights have come a long way since Steve Rogers was frozen in ice. Though Steve is a transgender man, he keeps that fact out of public discourse. He prefers to focus on the present.

    When Tony Stark asks for his help making a historically accurate Star Spangled Singer costume, he reflects on growing up and identity.

    Rated M for mentions of period-typical homophobia and transphobia (for the 1930s), a brief portrayal of violence, discussions of the 2012 political enviroment, and coarse language.

    Marked "Creator Chose Not to Use Archive Warnings" for a non-graphic scene in which pre-serum Steve beats up a homophobe.
