not today or tomorrow

Title: Like a Thief in the Night
Rating: PG
Series: Fallout: New Vegas (original characters)
Wordcount: 1922
Summary: In at least one 'verse, Larkin and Vivian don't start off on the best of footings.
Remarks: What the devil I cannot stop writing lately, and also when will I be any good at action. Viv is still Kris'.

( larkin woke without knowing why )

Title: Night Walking
Rating: PG
Series: Fallout New Vegas AU (original characters)
Wordcount: 1156
Summary: Modern high school AU, mostly because Why Bloody Not. The working title was 'useless lesbians'.
Remarks: This is ju-u-ust shy of completion, but it might as well be stored here in the meantime. Vivian is Kris' in perpetuity, and Ryker is Gray's.

( her phone buzzes sharply, three times )

Title: Snapshot
Rating: G
Series: Fallout: New Vegas (original characters)
Wordcount: 635
Summary: Larkin is a slightly less terrible date - but still a difficult partner for someone with long-term inclinations.
Remarks: Vivian continues to belong to Kris.

( only threat to be found was in vivian's satisfied smile )

Title: Endothermy
Rating: G
Series: Bungie's Destiny (original characters)
Wordcount: 749
Summary: In which there are some hurdles to being the only human on a fireteam.
Remarks: Pure unbridled sap, as a gift for some friends. Of course they then swung around and outsapped me by actually drawing a bit of it! Critical hit.

( the wintering has settled across the world )

Title: Home is in the Ground
Rating: G
Series: Bungie's Destiny (Shin Malphur)
Wordcount: 519
Summary: It's not fun being undead.
Remarks: I wanted this to be longer, but after weeks of wrestling with it I threw a minor tantrum, slashed it down to 500 words...and decided that actually worked pretty well. Sometimes drabbling is the way to go.

( shin dies for the first time )

Title: When the Bough Breaks
Rating: G
Series: Person Of Interest - Foster AU (Harold Finch, Nathan Ingram, the Machine)
Wordcount: 2594
Summary: When a college-aged Harold decides to take responsibility for the consequences of youthful indiscretion, he knows it's going to be a challenge - single parenthood usually is. Fortunately, Nathan takes his role as auxiliary support seriously.
Remarks: I wasn't even done with watching POI before I was commenting to the enabling wretch who got me into it that this show was begging for a foster home AU - aka my most favourite kind of AU, as you can possibly guess. So naturally the first thing I manage to write on the subject is a oneshot set 30 odd years before any foster-homing takes place. I suppose there's merit in starting from the top. (Why Aurora? Because Northern Lights.)

( oh nathan, he says, i've made a terrible mistake )

Title: The Human Condition
Rating: G
Series: Bungie's Destiny
Wordcount: 311
Summary: There is purpose in pain.
Remarks: This is officially the most popular thing I have ever written. Go figure. 

( ever been down to watch the civilians train? )

Title: Paterfamilias
Rating: G
Series: Bungie's Destiny (Jaren Ward)
Wordcount: 2042
Summary: Shin had three fathers in his life. Two of them overlapped.
Remarks: I had a hard time pulling the pacing together and it's very talky (surprise surprise) but I think it hit the notes I meant it to.

( the gunslinger cuts a sharp silhouette where he is perched )

Title: The Dead Ghost
Rating: G
Series: Bungie's Destiny (original characters)
Wordcount: 2699
Remarks: I don't even know if I agree with the premise any more, but at least it's done.

( it didn't much like finding the corpses of its kin )

Title: Post-Mortem
Rating: PG
Series: Bungie's Destiny (original characters)
Wordcount: 2624
Remarks: Something hammered out quickly as a gift for my Destiny mentor / babysitter earlier this year. Euclid is his, and also a huge cutie.

( awareness came back to yarrow )
