Summary
A savory, sweet scent encapsulated his nostrils. Thomas's mouth was opening to reach forward and take it into his mouth before his brain could have begun to catch up.
"What—"
"Here, eat." Janus offered him a slab of steak. When did Janus get steak? It was a juicy red and ordinarily it would make Thomas's stomach queasy at the thought of eating it in that state (he ate his steaks well done), but he almost drooled at the sight.
"See that's real meat right there." Remus said, grinning, "Raw, unprocessed, fresh meat."
OR:
Thomas, Janus, and Janus' boyfriend Remus are doing normal human things in the kitchen. -

Summary
To the greater masses of the galaxy, humans were seen freakish orc-like monsters in terms of intelligence and strength. They possessed peripheral vision, towered over most alien species and could consume deathly poisons, such as caffeine and chocolate. They were aggressive, baring their teeth and making direct eye contact when first approached. They could not speak Basic, chattering in nonsense screeches and shouts.
This perception was hardly helped by the fact that galaxy's first introduction to humans were ones that were abducted and trafficked by an alien empire that lived entirely on their space-faring vessels, drifting from one end of the galaxy to the other. Abused, traumatized humans who were desperate to escape and survive by any means possible. Or yearning to be understood, treated as a sapient being worthy of respect and recognition.
Janus was once the latter kind. Until he gave up any and all pretense to be understood and treated as anything but a wild creature, tamed through jolts of electricity and food deprivation.

Summary
It is all Patton's fault, truly. He wouldn't be in this predicament if Patton hadn't shuffled into the shared quarters of the mind-scape late one night, a sopping wet-eyed sniffling mess. Janus should've ignored him. All he'd wanted was to steal a jar of Logan's Crofters, leaving Logan to play detective the next morning and incorrectly deduce the culprit as Roman.
Yet it had been three days since Patton emerged from his room and it was his responsibility to care for these such things. It has been his responsibility ever since he squeezed a young Patton's hand in comfort and confidently declared, "No need to worry about it, Patty. I'll take care of all the bad things to ensure Thomas doesn't have to think about them. That can be my job."

Summary
Needle. Shock. Scalpel. Blood. Pain, pain, pain. Cell. Sleep. Repeat.
Blue gloved hands handled him. With steely eyes and frowns permanently stitched to their faces. They poked and prodded, reprimanding him if he got out of line. They referred him as “It” or “Experiment 1217″. They didn’t think of him as human.
How could they? Not after that fateful night, the one where he convulsed on the ground. It hurt, the pain tearing at every fiber of his being. He thought he was dying. He wished he’d died. Instead he woke to find himself changed. Transformed into a different being entirely. One with long spindly appendages and far too many eyes.

Summary
Virgil's encounter with three real life werewolves left him feeling half-convinced it had to be the concoction of some fever dream. But as a former foster kid who aged out of the system with little to nothing but the clothes on his back, he has bigger things to worry about than werewolves. Like, how he was going to survive on a minimum wage for starters.
When his friend Remy presents him with a new job opportunity, his first gut instinct was to refuse it. And you know what they say about gut instincts...

Summary
Janus’s entire deal with being a slightly evil anarchist librarian in a stolen bookmobile would be going a whole lot better if he didn’t have to deal with UNEXPECTED COMPLICATIONS IN LIFE brought about by A VERY SMALL EIGHT YEAR OLD wearing A NECKTIE TOO BIG FOR HIM who has SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADMISTRESS OF HIS SCHOOL and also INEXPLICABLE PSYCHIC POWERS.
At least he totally hasn't caught unexpected emotions about it.

Summary
“Virgil! Virgil c'mon! Cup ramen is better!”
“No! It tastes like styrofoam!”
“It’s supposed to!”
Virgil took a sip of his coffee, watching idly as the Duke dodged Prince's fist and fired back a a punch of his own, straight into the Prince's face. The panes of the shop windows rattled. “I hate them,” he mumbled to the cup. “This is the worst morning.”
“You’re supposed to make ramen yourself!” an explosion boomed. “There's more to it than boiled water!”
"They could just. Leave me alone."
"You are the worst!"
The Depresso Expresso: lactose intolerant? lame
Status: Open, if you can make it through the rubble
Hours: one AM to two PM(Somewhere on the Border between two warring superpowered factions, there's a tiny cafe run by a sole resigned barista who's getting really sick of the continued tomfoolery.)
Or,
Virgil forces Remus and Roman to get along because a war is bad for business and he’s done giving them first aid in the middle of the night because they keep beating each other up instead of talking. It's really their fault he never realizes the infuriating brothers they're sobbing over are actually each other. He's too tired for this.Bookmarked by Listenerofshadows

Summary
“He’s a—he’s a what?” Zuko wasn’t sure he’d heard her properly.
“Our father, Lord and Leader of Agni’s people, has undergone a ritual that turned him into a chicken,” Azula stated again, sounding annoyed she’d had to repeat herself, which Zuko didn’t think was really fair. “To increase his strength.”
“A chicken.”
“Yes, for strength reasons," Azula said, examining her sharp fingernails. "It’s a form of advanced spiritual meditation.”
"A chicken."
Deep in the depths of the Fire Nation's palace, Ozai and the Fire Sages (side note: that would be a sick band name) have unearthed a mysterious artifact, which fell from the sky many centuries ago. The accompanying scroll promises to grant those who complete a certain ritual total domination of the natural world. Fire Lord Ozai, the man that he is, completes the ritual with no hesitation.
The ritual then swaps him with a chicken.
(The Ozai is a chicken and nothing changes AU, that nobody asked for but everyone deserves)

Summary
Even among the rest of their eccentric and varied crew, Janus manages to be an enigma. Logan has never liked leaving questions unanswered, but as captain of a rescue vessel it was important to remain professional and to respect the boundaries of his crewmates...however deeply his ignorance might frustrate him. At least until an improbable conversation offers a glimpse past the walls Janus has built up around himself...
A conversation on the absurd topic of space cryptids of all things.
(Written for @tss-camp-and-coffee's Camp Cartoon event.)
