    Summary

    .

    Several years after having found true love and lost it, talented and brilliant apothecarist Peter finds himself engaged to be married to Duke Harry Osborn, young lord of the realm. It is a marriage of convenience for Peter and nothing more.

    But the night he is married, Peter is kidnapped by a small team of criminals for reasons unknown. More shockingly, as they cross the dangerous sea and enter the enemy country of Latveria, the criminals learn they are being relentlessly pursued by the unkillable rogue, Deadpool. Yet not all is as it seems: the longer Peter remains in Deadpool's clutches, the stronger the memories of his past return, and another sinister scheme—one beyond Peter's imagination—begins to unfold.

    .

    Or, that Princess Bride AU.

    Summary

    Ed is an engineer aboard the Revenge, an interplanetary research vessel on a multi-year mission to study Jupiter's moon Europa. An accident requires that Ed awaken from cryostasis over six months early, and finds his only companion to be Stede, the ship's onboard AI. They develop an unconventional friendship, but is it possible to have more?

    This is classic mutual pining with a sci-fi twist, inspired by all of my favorite stories about the nature of personhood.
    -----
    “You–” Ed was struggling to parse what Stede was saying. “You’re playing your version of this song for me, right now? Like, in real time?”

    “Yes, Edward, that’s correct,” said Stede softly.

    Ed’s brain momentarily seized up. He supposed it made sense that Stede was capable of learning a set of rules to do something like arrange and play a piece of music. There was something unnerving about this song, though. It felt, well–it felt organic . Reactive. Almost collaborative in a way. Ed was lost in the push and pull of it, until the last notes softly petered out.

    “So, what did you think?” asked Stede. It sounded nervous again. Why the hell would someone program an anxiety response into a bot?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    It takes a lot to make me cry. This did. I can't sum up all of my feelings here (and no one will read them), but god did I need this fic. It's beautiful, I cannot recommend it enough.
