    Summary

    A few fics set in an alternate universe where King Cole died without being able to turn Zantine into a ruthless empire, which allowed Snow and Rose to have pretty normal lives with pretty normal problems, like being bad with kids, destroying supermarkets, going on a disastrous road trip with your Dad, and meeting your future wife while she's trying to get out of a shitty escape room.

    Summary

    “He asked her if she had decided what to do about Carrie. She said she hadn’t. He said that it made no difference, but she thought it did. It had begun to seem that it meant all the difference.”

    In an alternate 1979, Sue Snell takes a different course of action vis-à-vis one Carrie White. This dramatically alters the course of history.

    Your standard Carrie “fix-it” fare. We’re undooming the lesbians from the narrative, folks!

    Summary

    The story goes like this: a princess is trapped in a tower guarded by an undefeatable dragon until one day, a fabled hero in shining armor arrives and they live happily ever after.

    There are no heroes in this tale.

    After a highly decorated decade-long military career, Rose’s much-needed time off is thwarted by a new assignment as commander of a space prison, of all things. Inside languishes Cinders, the victim of a burned-out planet who has been left to rot in solitary confinement. Rose sees a chance to right a long-ago wrong; Cinders sees the only kind hand extended to her in years. Pity she does not know Rose’s true colors…

    Summary

    It’s impossible to get a read on her. Maomao’s beginning to realize that Shisui is just as clever as Suirei, especially the way she filters the information she discloses. Talkative but withholding key details. Gossipy but not about the things that matter. Oversharing but only about bugs.

    She wonders if there’s any way she can chip away at that wall, to get a glimpse of Loulan through Shisui, of Shisui through Loulan. It’s a dangerous game to play, a risky puzzle to try and solve.

    A collection of one-shots from an Alternate Universe where Maomao figures out Loulan's identity while they're still at the rear palace. Not much plot, just a lot of vibes. Also not much romance, just hella bonding.

    Summary

    Then Jiang Cheng brings both blades around, two sword glares flashing, and—oh. Wei Wuxian knows the second sword’s red and silver glare better than any other. His brother is wielding Suibian, the first and last sword that had ever belonged to Wei Wuxian.
     
    Jiang Cheng and the Jin sect took away different treasures after Wei Wuxian's death. When Wei Wuxian comes back from the dead, his brother has some theories, some feelings, and two swords strapped across his back. Now Wei Wuxian must solve a Chenqing-charged mystery while surviving a passive-aggressive custody battle between Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji.

    Summary

    Not nearly enough attention has been given to the traumas and heartbreaks and wounds the Rose Reds endured during the war– and more than that, to their victories since, their fight to break through the programming that was forced on them to become people, and the way they still fight, every day, to come to terms with what they experienced and live the rest of their lives as free individuals... these are just a handful of the stories of what Rose Reds across the galaxy have experienced.

    An in-universe nonfiction book published nearly ten years after the war, discussing what happened to the Rose Reds after the rebels won.
