Summary
In darkness two shadowed boys reach towards each other, bonded by their shared experiences. Like always where John and Arthur are concerned, they begin their stories with family and then with each other. The connected memories and feelings are always somewhat indefinable, but they are the only real comforts they can offer.
(A mostly canon-compliant prequel Morston tragedy)

Summary
Gabriel brought his knees to his chest and settled his chin atop them. “I wish wanting them here was enough to keep them.”
And Javier’s chest stretched again, but this time with a dull kind of ache. “…Me too Gabe, me too.”
[A study into love and grief, in a world that makes time for neither.]

Summary
“You asked me,” he said, voice low and rough as if he had just swallowed gravel, “If I like the violence? If I like when it goes wrong?”
“Bigby, please, you need to rest—"
“I do.” He said, whispered into the small space of his apartment. “I do.”

Summary
Skulduggery Pleasant is a man who enjoys being untouchable by so many people. He is a man composed of wit, charm, and power. Skulduggery Pleasant was, to be frank, somewhat unshakeable. There was very little in this world that could throw off the composure of a 438 year old living skeleton.
Apart from maybe, China Sorrows.
(Set in Mortal Coil era Skulduggery Pleasant, a overly hopeful missing scene of China giving Skulduggery his facade tattoos, and then a re write of the chapter where she fixes them.)

An AU where Zagreus was raised by Demeter and ends up fighting his way through the Underworld regardless - just in the opposite direction. Guarding the entrance out is the terrifying monster Cerberus, but guarding the entrance in is Achilles, best of Greeks. And he has strict orders not to let anyone in.

Summary
“I want to help rebuild Richmond.” Javier said, Jesus’s advice came back to him. “I don’t want Kate’s sacrifice to go to waste…for everyone we lost to make this place better to be in vain.” Javier met Luke’s eyes once again. “I want to step up. Be a leader. Be there for people.”
“I admire that.” A pale ribbon of smoke rose from the glowing end of Luke’s joint. “But it’ll take time. Your arrival started this whole mess...people will need to forgive you, then learn to trust you. You gotta earn it.”
“Then I will.” Javier resolved.
“I hope you do,” Luke extinguished his finished joint on the armrest of his wheelchair, then wiped the ash off. “I think you might be what Richmond needs, Javi. I’d like to see what you’ve got. The make of your character,” Luke looked over and gave Javier a gentle smile, friendly but inquisitive. “You won’t let me down, will you?”
( A continuation of the "Luke Lives" AU, following post S3. Luke and Javier work to rebuild Richmond and themselves, blossoming a friendship along the way. Which, over time, becomes more. Slowburn romance, there will be character analysis as well. This will also deal with the Virginia War, involving Delta and Chesapeake, stay tuned. )

Summary
Once upon a time, John had been small. Living things often are. Small things get fed and get bigger. They grow up. Or sometimes, if you are very unlucky, they don’t.
After a while, Arthur murmurs in the dark, “Ain’t babied you like this since you broke your arm when you was fourteen. You was already too big for it back then too, to be honest. Cain’t say what to do with you now.”
It takes a moment for their body temperatures to match, and Arthur feels John’s voice against his chest when he quietly replies, “I don’t think about it like that.”
[A precanon Morston Oneshot] Arthur questions what his role is where a young John is concerned.
