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: Season of Giving
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Gazelle/Roxy Morton
Summary: An early Christmas present.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Very Short (547 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt:
Roxy squirmed into a sitting position and opened the parcel, sliding her fingernail neatly underneath the bit of tape holding it shut. Gazelle, she suspected, would be a tearer in situations like this. It was very much how she was the rest of the time. Roxy had yet to convince her that there was sometimes more of a challenge in keeping things whole.

Title: Hollow
Fandom: Sherlock
Pairing/Characters: Sally Donovan/Stella Hopkins
Summary: A strange case.
Rating: PG
Length: Very Short (465 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: I've been working on a fic based ACD/Granada’s Abbey Grange, and it made me think about a more modern interpretation of that case, and how it might have been handled by Sherlock’s version of Hopkins. This is the result. I don’t actually remember what case she really brought Sherlock in the show, so sorry if this ignores anything in canon.
Excerpt:
She had been watching Stella Hopkins for a while- from where she sat at the other end of the bar, and also in general. She knew Hopkins was trying to make a name for herself and figured that Sherlock Holmes could be a good way to do that; either she would come out the other side of it or she wouldn’t. Sally hoped it would be the former, obviously- but she saw hints of the latter in the speed at which Hopkins had been drinking all night.

Title: On Lateness
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Gazelle/Roxy Morton, Richmond Valentine
Summary: An unexpected encounter on campus.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1,760 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: An unusual pair for me but I like to branch out from time to time. This is based on an American (and also outdated) university experience and I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about TAs (only one of my profs ever had one), so apologies in advance for any mistakes there. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: Gazelle blinked at her. “You remember me?” She sounded surprised, in that I-try-very-hard-not-to-take-anything-too-seriously way Roxy remembered her having.

Of course she remembered. Gazelle always sat at the back of the classroom, the seat beside her always empty, and she would prop her legs up on it and survey the room through the curtain of her hair in a listless fashion that did little to disguise how smart she was and how much she really did care about getting an education. Her legs were bright and knife sharp, like her smile and her eyes and her tongue- when Roxy coaxed her into speaking during class, that was. Gazelle was very hard to forget indeed.

Title: No Charm Equal
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Lancelot/Percival, Amelia/Roxy Morton, Gazelle/Richmond Valentine, Merlin, Daisy Unwin, Michelle Unwin, Chester King, Charlie Hesketh, Jamal
Summary: Harry is a cupid. His latest assignment is proving to be... complicated.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Very Long (29,095 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Not Brit-picked. Includes some references to domestic abuse and prostitution (the former is about the same as the movie itself, and the latter just a little bit more on the nose, and neither play a very big part in this story). The title comes from the quote, "There is no charm equal to the tenderness of the heart" from Jane Austen. Giant thank you to klaudos for beta-ing (and for the help with the title).
Excerpt: To say that Harry was too surprised to react at first would have been a grave understatement. He wasn’t literally invisible, because he did sometimes need to interact with mortals to do his job, he was just unnoticeable. People- the particular charge he had been assigned to most of all- were meant to see him and yet never actually process his presence. Unless he showed up in their houses- which a gentleman would never do, of course- they would ignore him and just get on with their lives. And yet here Eggsy was, closer than anyone had been to Harry since- well, since he was mortal, and that was long enough ago that Harry could hardly remember it- snarling, “Why are you following me?”

Title: Rolling Stone
Fandom: Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis
Pairing/Characters: Sam Carter/Vala Mal Doran
Summary: Sam on her way to Atlantis.
Rating: PG
Length: Very Short (912 words)
Disclaimer: These wonderful characters do not belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Written for my

hc_bingo square moving (my card is here). This is set during the SGA episode where Sam is transferred to Atlantis, but it's been a while since I've seen it, so I apologize for any possible continuity problems. The title comes from "A Place Called Home" by Kim Richey.
Excerpt: “Won’t you miss all this?” Vala asked.

“I’d say it’s not another planet, but- you know- it is,” Sam reminded her. “The one thing that’ll stay pretty much the same is ‘all this.’”

You know how fabulous I am? I just saw S3 of Sherlock. Just yesterday. For the first time. I only have a couple of the things to say that are spoiler-y and if you want to see it and you still haven't you're even more fabulous than I am, so-

( It's under a cut )

Title: The Impossible House
Fandom: Once Upon a Time
Pairing/Characters: Belle/Rumplestiltskin, Baelfire; mentions of Aurora/Mulan, Hook and Jefferson.
Summary: Doctor Who AU: Belle is a Time Lady and she wants Rumplestiltskin to come with her.
Rating: G
Length: Short (2,714 words)
Disclaimer: Neither Once Upon a Time nor Doctor Who belongs to me.
Notes/Warnings: Rumplestiltskin here is meant to come from a middle ages-ish period, but no effort has been made to be historically accurate. This is a just a bit of fun, and likewise not really intended to be part of a larger series. Also, it confuses the heck out of me that there are two spellings for Rumplestiltskin- I've gone with the spelling in AO3's tags for continuity's sake, but... *shrugs*
Excerpt: Nothing much ever happened to Rumplestiltskin. His was an ordinary life. A boring life, perhaps- but Rumplestiltskin told himself that he didn’t mind if his life was boring, so long as it was safe; since the war, and everything that happened after, he considered safe the thing to be. Most of the time, he even believed it. And then the Librarian came along.

I'd noticed this before, but I was reading Classification Error (which is lovely, BTW) and it really struck me. I mean, what happens in the story isn't exactly a normal pregnancy, but like I say I'd seen it before, and in het stories (I think the first time I saw it was in a Hermione/Snape fic rec, where her pregnancy was referred to as F-preg). It seems to me that one could just tag it 'pregnancy.' That is, in fact, how pregnancy normally goes. Calling it F-preg makes it sound like it's "that thing that's basically M-preg, but with a girl." We might even be getting toward a place where we're not expected know if a man or a woman is going to be pregnant in a story unless they tell us who at the outset. Which- by the way- is fantastic.

Anyway, takeaway message: Classification Error= lovely and leveling the pregnancy playing field= fantastic!
