    Summary

    Part 1 in a retelling of the Firebird Ravkan folktale.


    "But there are leaps between that one must navigate, and there are Grisha who are talented in ways you may, in time, comprehend. Like calls to like." 

    "Etovost defines affinity." Genya recalls the fundamentals drawn on their blackboard for a month straight. 

    Baghra swipes her youthful hand in front of Genya's nose. "What does that mean when you can do this?" 

    "I am Corporalki." Genya presses her buzzing fingertips together behind her back. "I used blood-" 

    "Wrong! There is more odinakovost to Small Science. You will be taught from all the books that it is the dividing lines, the etovost that pushes Grisha into their talents. The Squallers and the Alkemi, the Etherialki and the Corporalki. The Orders. Never forget that Grisha look to the making at the heart of the world, and it is odinakovost they seek to shape when they use their power." 

    "I have an affinity for odinakovost?" 

    The sly smile tugs at Baghra's lip once more, carving in the wrinkles deeper. "You can reach further for it."

    Summary

    This is a compilation of all the pieces that take place within my Over-City/Under-City AU, which is also a Hot Guy/Cute Guy Superhero AU, though that's not the only thing that'll be going on! I plan to keep this series in chronological order, so I'll put all the pieces where they'd fall along the timeline, which may sometimes not line up with the publishing date. The exception to this is 'Pretty Boy' which, IF someone does want to read the whole series in order, I'd want them to have read that one first and then all the rest, so 'Pretty Boy' will always be the first fic in the line-up, but after that you could read chronologically or just bounce around as you please! I've written all of these to mostly stand-alone, so you shouldn't be too terribly confused no matter where you decide to start up!

    Ask me about the series or just come say hi on tumblr! @amethystfairy1

    This series is also being adapted into podfics by @boo-the-AHH if you prefer the audio format!

    TTSBC Wiki, which you can also find here on A03, by @silver-sunray!

    Summary

    What voices, Scar?” Martyn asks again, a bit closer now, snapping him back to attention.

    “You— You know the Secret Keeper voices? When you succeed your task?” Scar asks, the words practically bursting out of him, propelled by the pressure of being kept at bay for so long.

    Martyn’s eyes narrow just slightly, his gaze flickering to the Secret Keeper and then back. “Yeah, I’ve heard ‘em. We all have, far as I can tell.”

    Scar nods and swallows, pasting on a shaky grin. “I hear them all the time.”

    OR, The Watchers take a special interest in Scar.

    Summary

    On a joint NASA-ESA mission to the dwarf planet Ceres, Iskall and Zedaph aren’t expecting much. A long, boring trip, several weeks of stress and excitement, and then a long, boring trip back.

    There’s just one slight snag: they’re not alone up there.

    With the rest of humanity millions of miles away, will they be able to make it back? Or are our astronauts doomed to sail the stars forever?

    (Or: The astronaut AU nobody asked for. Updates Mondays! This fic is fully written!)
