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: 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: One In a Thousand
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Dagonet
Summary: A year from the day they met, Eggsy decides to do something special for Harry.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium (6.724 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Not Brit-picked. Also I'm a little bit sick, but hopefully my editing job was sufficient anyway. Part of my Heart and Understanding series.
Excerpt: Eggsy could hardly blame Harry for not realizing back then how important the day they met would eventually be, and- again- keeping track of time wasn’t Harry’s strong suit.

Harry’s strong suit, as far as Eggsy could tell, was being really good to Eggsy. Eggsy had come around, for the most part, to the idea that he deserved it, but he still wanted to… not pay Harry back exactly, but do the same. Harry had told Eggsy enough times how happy Eggsy made him already, just by being himself, that Eggsy believed that too- but he still wanted to do something to show Harry how special he was once in a while, and today seemed like the perfect place to start.

Title: The Wind In the Dark
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Merlin, Amelia, Original Characters
Summary: Sequel to Enough To Live On, or five ways having an undead Arthur comes in handy (and one way Harry is really a lot of trouble).
Rating: NC-17
Length: Medium (6,145 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: This fills the "haunted" square for my H/C bingo, because the first thing that prompt made me want to write was a sequel to Enough to Live On. I’m not sure whether or not the Canonical Character Death tag is still applicable, but this is a sequel so it’s canonical to the series. Now, I call this a series, but I decided not to create one here because I’m not planning any other installments (though I may change my mind about that in the future). Since I remember some people not being too into the sex scene last time, fair warning: I open one in media res in this story. The title comes from "Enough To Go By" by Vienna Teng just like the previous story. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: “I miss being invisible,” Harry told Eggsy.

“No you don’t,” Eggsy returned immediately.

“I definitely do.” At the very least, Harry missed being unable to go far from Eggsy’s side. It had been frustrating- even painful- at the time, but it was much worse being so far from him now. Eggsy’s voice through the glasses was no substitute for Eggsy himself. “If I still was, you’d have to be here talking to these idiots with me.”

Title: Today and Every Day
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Roxy Morton
Summary: Eggsy is planning to ask Harry to marry him. The question is- how?
Rating: R
Length: Medium (5,139 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: The title is from "Marry Me" by Train and is the result of me really scraping the bottom of the title barrel. When I looked up the lyrics there was some confusion as to whether the line was "every day" or "everyday" but the former is the one that makes the most sense to me, so it's what I'm going with. There's a reference to Eggsy and his mother's past with Dean here which is vague enough that I don't think it warrants a "past abuse" tag, but if you prefer not to think about any of that, know that it's there. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: All of the proposal ideas that Eggsy had had since his conversation with Roxy- ranging from just asking over dinner in a quiet booth at Harry’s favorite restaurant to sky writing- all seemed like either too little or too much, sometimes both at the same time.

Title: The Calm
Fandom: Kingsman
Pairing/Characters: Eggsy Unwin/Harry Hart, Merlin
Summary: An interlude while in the field.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (1,734 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: This fills the scars square for my H/C bingo. Not Brit-picked.
Excerpt: “Keep still,” Harry instructed quietly, his lips twitching with amusement.

“Sure,” Eggsy said, and smiled when Harry gripped his chin lightly and turned his head away so that Eggsy’s eyes- or rather Eggsy’s glasses- couldn’t take him in anymore. Harry bent and pressed a soft kiss to Eggsy's shoulder, right above the bandages he had just applied.

Title: A Journey Home
Fandom: The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings
Pairing/Characters: Gimli/Legolas, Tauriel (references to Kili/Tauriel), Thranduil
Summary: Legolas returns to the Greenwood with a dwarf in tow.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1,551 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Includes references to canon character death and a generally unforunate balance of sadness and fluff.
Excerpt: “He is a dear friend who has been with me through many hardships.”

“Undoubtedly,” Tauriel replied. “But do not doubt for a moment that I have been among dwarves enough to know courting braids when I see them.” She nodded to Legolas’ hair. Her expression grew melancholy, but it carried traces of amusement still.

Title: Observation 101
Fandom: Sherlock
Pairing/Characters: Greg Lestrade/Molly Hooper, Mycroft Holmes/Sherlock Holmes
Summary: Greg is stood up on a blind date, whereupon things get... strange.
Rating: PG-13
Length: Short (4,559 words)
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes/Warnings: Written for this prompt on

sherlockbbc_fic. Warnings for incest, and Greg and Molly being really incredibly dense. They got a nice date out of it?
Excerpt: That was Mycroft Holmes sitting a few tables away; Greg would know him anywhere. It wasn’t his presence in itself that was so surprising; this might not have been Greg’s kind of place, but it had to be Mycroft’s. The surprise lay in the fact that he had a woman with him and Greg had been reasonably sure that Mycroft was gay. Gayer than picnic basket. Gayer than Christmas. Gayer than… something really very gay.

Title: Awake
Fandom: Sherlock
Pairing/Characters: Greg Lestrade/Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Mary Morstan
Summary: Greg wakes up in the hospital.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (3,012 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Written for my

hc_bingo square blood loss (my card is here), so warnings for mentions of blood loss. Being that I know very little about the subject, I apologize for any inaccuracies- I was just kind of doing my own thing when I wrote this. Also, this isn't Brit-picked. Finally, I decided to go for a positive Mary depiction. Please don’t shoot me for it.
Excerpt: “Here to kill me?” Greg croaked at Sherlock. It was unlikely, with John present, but Greg had had a recurring dream of Sherlock hovering over him like this- except with an enormous knife in his hand- ever since he’d first met the detective. Most of the time, he understood this nightmare to be a subconscious manifestation of his conviction that Sherlock Holmes would one day be the death of him- but on his most paranoid days he caught himself thinking it might in fact be a premonition of his murder.

Sherlock rolled his eyes. “Hardly. Not after all the trouble John went through to save you. Try not to scare him like that again.”

Title: Full Circle
Fandom: Once Upon a Time
Pairing/Characters: Belle/Rumplestiltskin, OFC; mentions of Jefferson
Summary: Belle and Rumplestiltskin end up more or less back where they started.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1,456 words)
Disclaimer: These lovely characters do not belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: This was written for the

older_not_dead promptathon 18 prompt "when you get to live forever."I really have no idea where things are going on OUAT lately, so I was a little at sea imagining a "Future Fic" scenario. Many thanks to

a_phoenixdragon for giving me some great ideas and generally holding my hand. As for the actual contents, I'm not sure how valid or possible this scenario is. I just want them to be happy, you know?
Excerpt: Rumplestiltskin eyed her. “I have little desire to take on another princess for a maid.”

“I didn’t think it went so terribly for you the last time,” Belle replied.

Title: Happy Anniversary
Fandom: Agents of SHIELD/The Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
Pairing/Characters: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson; mentions of Bruce Banner, FitzSimmons and Nick Fury
Summary: Director Coulson tends not to make it to dinner, so Clint brings dinner to him.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1,157 words)
Disclaimer: These lovely characters are not mine!
Notes/Warnings: This was written for the

older_not_dead promptathon 17 prompt "anniversary dinner"
Excerpt: Clint rolled his eyes and put the bag in the machine by the front desk. The machine was way cooler than a metal detector. It was Asgard tech, specifically designed to identify weapons. Forks only got past it some of the time, which puzzled Clint. When it did detect something, the machine started screeching like it was Ragnarok, and since that would pretty much ruin Clint’s evening he had decided to forgo utensils altogether this time around.
