Title: Change of Season
Fandom: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Pairing/Characters: Julian Bashir/Elim Garak
Summary: A homecoming.
Rating: PG
Length: Very Short (408 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Old ficlet I found that I never posted. Inspired by this prompt but kind of going in its own direction. Fills my 100fandoms table prompt #6 (home).
Excerpt:
In the capital, winter was on the way.  Still a bit warm by the standards Julian had grown up with, it had been getting truly cold to Cardassians for a while now.  Evolutionarily speaking, as a species they hadn’t hibernated for millennia, but they did get drowsy, even lazy, this time of year.  It spoke to how used to the climate he had become that when Julian landed he immediately felt a chill and a profound desire to remain indoors until the spring thaw.

Title: True North
Fandom: Escape Room
Pairing/Characters: Zoey Davis/Amanda Harper
Summary: Amanda makes it. Everything changes and nothing does.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (1216 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Happy Halloween, I guess?  This is kind of a horror movie. Fills my 100fandoms table prompt #22 (fire). Possibly also my hc_bingo "survivor's guilt" square, but that might be too tenuous.
Excerpt:

She looked for Amanda last, scrubbing tears out of her eyes as she read the story of a veteran who fell climbing alone-
yeah, right- and then almost threw her laptop against the wall when the article went on to talk about hikers in the right place at the right time, about miraculous rescues and brilliant doctors, about the hospital where Amanda was being treated.

Treated.

Title: Rushing Headlong
Fandom: Good Omens
Pairing/Characters: Aziraphale/Crowley
Summary: Things are changing a little too fast for Aziraphale's taste.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1543 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: I thought about tagging this for the book too, but I haven't read it in fifteen years and need to be honest about what this is. The TV adaptation was great fun and I'm getting on that train. Fills my 100fandoms table prompt #12 (new) and my hc_bingo "hugs" square. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt:

The apocalypse-that-wasn't was still fresh in Aziraphale's mind, and he spent the drive mainly luxuriating in the ‘still here’ of it all. That sweet shop down the way he had always liked? Still here. The stationary shop he often patronized? Still here. More importantly, his own shop, just waiting for him to return of an evening? Still here. And- more importantly still- Crowley in the car next to him, obeying the rules of the road for once? Still here. Everything could go back to normal.

But then, even through that contented haze, a niggling voice in the back of his mind turned strident and began to sound awfully like Gabriel. It wanted to know just how likely to go back to normal everything really was.

Title: A Step Too Far
Fandom: Callan
Pairing/Characters: David Callan/Toby Meres, Hunter
Summary: After Richmond, Callan does a spot of eavesdropping and learns something he never knew.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium (8,434 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Minor violence.  References "The Richmond File" episodes and "You Should Have Got Here Sooner" pretty heavily. I went back and forth on whether to put some kind of "not that fluffy but fluffy for the source material" tag on this- I went back and forth on how fluffy it in fact is- so YMMV. Obviously the "post-canon" tag is used in a "Wet Job? I don't know her" capacity. Fills my 100fandoms table prompt #30 (truth) and possibly also my hc_bingo "forced to participate in illegal / hurtful activity" square.
Excerpt:
Dead mother, absent father, constant stream of nannies and tutors until he could be safely shipped off to boarding school... Callan had skimmed that part of Meres' file while he was Hunter because it all seemed a bit poor little rich boy. It didn’t feel like that now.

Title: The Second Hand Unwinds
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor, Avengers)
Pairing/Characters: Loki/Thor
Summary: This isn't a quest. Thor isn't sure what it is, though.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Short (4077 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Endgame spoilers, canon character death, bittersweet/ambiguous ending.  Fills my 100fandoms table prompt #26 (balm). Title from "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper. Not a fix-it because I'm not sure how to fix a lot of this, but I was definitely working through some stuff. Set before Thor's final scene with the Guardians of the Galaxy characters, I guess, but the continuity's a bit wonky. Enjoy?
Excerpt:
There was a Loki out there who had escaped with the Tesseract, years ago. Thor did not know if he made these trips to find the strength to go looking for him, or the strength not to.

Title: And After
Fandom: The Sisters Brothers
Pairing/Characters: John Morris/Hermann Kermit Warm
Summary: Maybe there is a better world, somewhere.
Rating: PG
Length: Very short (684 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Includes canon character death.  Fills my [community profile] 100fandoms table prompt #20 (discover).  Ficlet for a movie I just saw to remind me that I can, in fact, finish a thing. 
Excerpt:
He sat on a rock that overlooked the valley and said to himself, or maybe to the Hermann he couldn’t see- he wasn’t sure when thoughts he had always kept between himself and his notebook became thoughts for Hermann, but it was long before this, whatever this was, happened- “I do not believe I wanted to be your friend.”

Title: Idle Hands
Fandom: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
Pairing/Characters: John Childermass/John Segundus, Mr. Honeyfoot, Vinculus
Summary: Childermass' plan to keep himself occupied at Starecross may not be quite perfect.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (2,392 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Fills my[community profile] 100fandoms table prompt #18 (fix).
Excerpt:
Now that Norrell was gone, and missed largely in the little moments when Childermass heard this or that piece of news and thought how he would tell it to Norrell, and how he would react- and then he remembered that Norrell was not there to tell, and he liked to be busy more than ever.

Mostly, he was- for there was a great deal to do. There were old politicians and new magicians to deal with; there was Vinculus to manage; there was a different kind of magic and a different kind of life for his people to carve out, and Childermass was busily carving it. There was little time to regret words spoken in haste, or to miss the society of men he still regarded very highly, however things had fallen out- or to be lonesome in general. But sometimes... sometimes he stopped, and he stopped most often at Starecross. And it was strange, but in that place- where he had the least reason to be lonely- he was most intensely so.
