    Summary

    The thing about riding off into the sunset is that the movie doesn’t tell you what happens next. There’s no advice for how to pick yourself up and put your life back together. Sometimes there’s an epilogue to show that it all works out in the end, but it skips all the steps in between.

    Ghost packs up a truck and a trailer, picks a highway, and travels east.

    Summary

    “I’ll guard you for a night,” Hob says, “and say I please you, you can either pay me for a day’s work, or keep me on ‘til you reach where you’re going.”

    “Do you know the way to Canterbury?” the lord asks, and Hob nods.

    “Oh, yes. It’s a few days’ ride, not more than three or four, by my memory.”

    “Then you shall have three days to please me, Robert Gadling.”

    In 1389, known mercenary and bandit Hob Gadling offers to escort a strange lord to Canterbury, and wagers that he can guess the man's name in three days.

    Summary

    Sometime after the food is gone and the iced teas have been refilled, Kim realizes he’s just listening to Porsche tell stories and Porchay talk about music. He's not thinking about how to turn the conversation to his advantage.

    They don’t seem to mind that he’s quiet, or that his additions to the conversation are stilted, censoring everything he can’t say about himself and his life. They don’t push him when he evades personal questions. They fill his awkward silences with jokes and banter with each other. They listen whenever he finds something to say.

    He can’t tell whether he’s pretending to be Wik or pretending to be Kim, or something else entirely.

    It’s…nice.

     

    (or, Kim meets Porsche first.)

    Summary

    Joe folds his arms across his chest, knowing full well how much muscle he’s showing off when he does, and lets one side of his mouth quirk up. “Not what you expected?”

    Nicky’s gaze dips, taking him in before meeting Joe’s eyes again. “Not at all. Will this session be for you alone?”

    When Joe had booked a fetish professional, he has to admit he’d pictured someone a lot more sleazy. Someone with close-set eyes, unwashed hair, and a beer belly, like the guys Joe sees working in porn. Nicky isn’t someone he’d expect to see behind-the-scenes.

    Summary

    From the text: Derek didn’t want to be a part of anything. He lived a deliberately nomadic life, avoiding personal connections and never staying more than a few years in the same place. As hard as it was to be a ‘wolf without a pack, he was getting by. Shep was enough of a pack to stabilize him, and he never stayed long enough in a place to get territorial about it. Yet, the thought of leaving Beacon Hills in his rearview mirror, as he had left so many other places...

    Summary

    Three hundred years ago, Earth was destroyed. Only by shipping offplanet and transitioning into robots does humanity survive--barely. Now, centuries later, what was once their saving grace, Androids, have become expendable. Distrusted, mistreated, and forcibly deactivated, Androids are under attack.

    Steve, former human, political dissenter with an ardent love for fire, and now full Android with an inability to keep his goddamned mouth shut, is tired.

    Bucky, former human, war survivor who was rescued from a self-loathing spiral out of a literal trash can, and now full Android with emotional turbulence, is lonely.

    When the two meet, they find that living is not about what makes them robots, but the spark that makes them human.

    But is it too little too late? Because to survive the threat of this new world together, it's possible that simply feeling human may not be enough. (Length- 8 hours)

    Summary

    “MARRIED?”

    “Basically married. Permanently engaged anyway. Weres have their own deal.” Natasha sounds much, much too gleeful about Steve’s rapidly expanding personal hell. “So you better wake your blushing bride and tell him the happy news: that it was an accident and you had no idea what you were doing.”

    “I,” Steve says, strangled. “I can’t do that!”

    “You can’t?”

    “He thought I was proposing! And he accepted!”

    “Wow, maybe he’s just as dumb as you are,” Natasha says thoughtfully.

    “I can’t just promise him a ring, take him home, drink from him three times in a row and then wake him up the next morning to say oops, just kidding!” Steve casts around, looking at his wreck of an apartment. “I don’t even have any good champagne!”

    Summary

    Podfic of praximeter's 'despite the threatening sky and shuddering earth (they remained)'.

     

    “They really didn’t want the mask to come off.” Hill thumbed through the scans, and pulled out a film that she then handed over to Sam, face mostly expressionless but for the flat line of her pursed lips.

    Sam accepted the film and held it up to the light, angling so both he and Steve could see it, squinting at the outline of the Winter Soldier’s skull, and the blips of unnatural white that showed up, God, in his brain, not to mention about half his teeth, plus the mask, with its thin protrusions—

    “Those are pins,” Steve realized. He looked over at Hill. “The mask—it’s nailed to his face.”

    Hill’s face was as unmoved as ever. “Like I said. They really didn’t want it coming off.”

    Summary

    Fast and fierce, the Horse Guard protect the Kingdom and its people, and they welcome anyone into their ranks-noble, commoner, or peasant-so long as they can ride a horse like they were born to it. Guard Barnes—Bucky—has come to the Kingdom's largest horse fair to find a new horse. He's supposed to choose from one of the approved horses; instead he finds himself buying a tall, skinny, angry stallion with the ridiculous name of Steve. Bucky can't leave him behind, but he's nothing like what Bucky's looking for and everything Bucky doesn't want.

    But Bucky's more right than even he knows because Steve's not a horse at all. He's a man under a curse, victim of a powerful sorcerer's temper and magic, and he's bound to never, by action or deed, reveal what he truly is.

    It's gonna be one hell of a ride.

    Summary

    You see, my dear friend, I cannot forget our conversation though it was some weeks ago and I will surely understand if it was but a passing exchange in your view with nothing at all meant by it. As for me, it has taken root inside me and will not let me rest.

    A Regency AU ficlet and sketches about a man who is at sea in more ways than one, making a declaration to the object of his affection.
