What Tangled Webs We Weave by BonesOfBirdWings for Seika
Fandoms: Emelan - Tamora Pierce
11 Jul 2016
Tags
Summary
As any weaver will tell you, it’s much easier to tangle a skein of yarn than to untangle it. Sandrilene fa Toren had successfully woven her friends’ magic together, spurred on by desperation and terror, but that was no guarantee that she could separate the strands again.

the splintered glass in your own reflection by silverspoonful
Fandoms: The Medoran Chronicles - Lynette Noni

Summary
“She becomes a spectacle, really, and her name is synonymous with endless titles: Freyan, human-Meyarin hybrid, freak, mad girl, child soldier, draekon girl, psychopath, whore. The list is never ending. It becomes widely known that Alexandra Jennings is unstable, fragile even — not like a wilting flower, but like a bomb. Volatile and destructive and inevitable.
The world watches her ascend higher, and higher, to the point where they all know the only place left for her is to fall.”
OR: Things go a lot differently when Alex is captured by Aven. Here’s the aftermath.

Summary
Stoick has always feared that one day his son would find the black dragon-skin he kept in the oak chest at the foot of his bed.
He feared that his son would know immediately what that dragon-skin was for.
He feared that one day his son would don that skin, and discover he could turn himself into a dragon.

Just as his mother had done.

Summary
On a corporate owned mining asteroid in the depths of the Corporation Rim, a group of plucky, heroic, indentured humans have just decided to make their first move in a daring escape plan. Said first move is a deceptively simple hack, putting control of their corporate overlords' single, overworked SecUnit into their hands.
Little do they know, this murderbot is already hacked.

If I had to Perish Twice by JUBE514
Fandoms: Dead Boy Detectives (TV), The Dead Boy Detectives (DC Comics)

Summary
There wasn’t meant to be anybody here. There were meant to be people who came through and evacuated everyone out. It was dangerous to be this close to Edwin without protection. It was- Edwin needed to leave. He tries to wrap himself smaller as well, copying the boy in the corner, brings down the flame he’s had burning in the palm of his own hand for light-
The boy gasps at the motion, eyes huge and wet and focused on the fire that dances in Edwin’s palms. “You- You’re one of them government people.” He says, his voice is so, so soft. Nobody’s spoken to Edwin in that tone in years. “You’re here to help, right? Can- Can you help me?”
His lips are almost blue.
Fingertips frozen.
He’s dying.
He’s dying, past the point of saving, if the way his pupils don’t react to the light of the fire is correct.
“Are you cold?” Edwin has to ask, he’s moving forward, even though his mind is screaming at him not to, how everything these past seventy years have told him that he’ll hurt anybody within twenty meters, if left unchecked for longer than a minute.
The boy nods, weakly. “I’m freezing, mate.”
The boy in the attic is dying of the cold, who is Edwin to deny him a few minutes of warmth?

Technically Q's name and personal details are classified and beyond the purview of field agents, but he's worked for Q branch for ten years and had gone by his actual name for eight of them. His identity is as much of a "secret" as his ineptitude at filing financial reports.

Summary
“My blue box isn’t really a box,” she continued. “It’s a very complicated, very convincing illusion. And it’s breaking down.”
The Doctor paused, staring at the TARDIS sketch in the dirt at her feet. The other three exchanged glances. Mechanically, the Doctor began to sketch angles and corners, expanding the rough rectangle of the TARDIS, unfolding it, until it took up the whole of the little garden.
Ryan was staring at her work. “That’s… I’m gonna guess that’s bad.”
--
The TARDIS has crash-landed in England, 2019. Also spacetime might be collapsing. So... Yaz's week isn't off to a great start.Bookmarked by backwardswizard
