Less Than Kind ^[4] Fandom: The SilmarillionDate: 16 Aug 2015Length: 14260 wordsStatus: CompleteGenre: Fingon/Maedhros

“I hardly believed it,” said Maedhros. “What are you doing here?”

"I bring a message from my father."

Maedhros blinked. "Really?"

Fingon grinned. "I believe his exact words were: you're visiting who, well if you must you must, say something suitable, something something friendship something something kinsmen, tell him good job keeping my brother's sons out of trouble, I'd rather wrestle another ice bear myself – but don't say it like that!" _

Fingon goes to visit Maedhros, accidentally arrives during a Fëanorion family reunion, and quickly regrets many (but not all) of his life choices.

Pantië Fandom: The SilmarillionDate: 05 Jan 2016Length: 17634 wordsStatus: CompleteGenre: Findekáno/Maedhros | Maitimo, Maitimo/Sauron | Mairon, Dub-con, Non-con

“It is not my body that imprisons me,” Maedhros said with a pointed look at the shackles around his wrists. Sauron laughed. “You are quite mistaken. Take, for example, the – what is it your people call it? – the blossoming, I believe, is the local term; an interesting metaphor; the Sindar are of course very florally minded. It is most tiresome. Ah, I remember – opening.” He smirked. “Avoiding metaphor altogether, for of course it is an opening. There is the obvious if rather undignified physical action, of course, but what is strange to me is the effect that then has on the spirit – which opens, which yields. Therefore your body compels a subjection not merely to your own flesh but even to the flesh of another – and thus, of course, to the spirit of another. Now that is imprisonment, if you like!”

Accustomed To Disguise Fandom: Nirvana In FireDate: 22 Dec 2017Length: 5k wordsStatus: CompleteGenre: Mei Chansu/Xiao Jingyan, Post-Canon

Jingyan tucked his hands into his sleeves and said with serene and infinite calm, “I am going to kill him.”

Handfast Fandom: Nirvana In FireDate: 20 Feb 2018Length: 9717 wordsStatus: CompleteGenre: Mei Changsu | Su Zhe/Mu Nihuang

Nihuang with her heart pounding squeezed the Emperor’s hand. She had known before she submitted the report that it might not work. She had already thought of her last resort. She confessed, “I could not choose from the nine good men, your Majesty, because the one I wanted was not there.”

But Everything Changed Fandom: [[Nirvana In Fire],[Avatar the Last Airbender]]Date: 13 Jan 2018Length: 7591 wordsStatus: CompleteGenre: Mu Nihuang/Lin Shu/Xiao Jingyan, Alternate Universe

“Jingyan, pour the tea,” ordered Lin Shu, stretched sweating on the scorched grass.

“Pour it yourself,” said Jingyan.

“I can’t, I’m dead. Nihuang has killed me. Murdered by his fiancée when he was still a beautiful young gentleman, that’s what they’ll say. A tragedy! Anyway you should do it, you’re the waterbender.”

Mr Webster's Wager by emilyenrose, FahyeFandom: Society of Gentlemen - K. J. CharlesDate: 22 Dec 2017Length: 27k wordsStatus: CompleteGenre: Gabriel Ashleigh/Francis Webster

"Double or nothing," said Webster abruptly.

"How exactly do you mean to double 'everything I had?'" said Ash. He meant it to come out level, but there was a quaver in his voice.

"One more trick," Webster said. "Play, and win or lose you will walk away with your fortune." Ash stared at him. Webster made an impatient gesture. "I don't want or need your money. Or your house. Or your coat and shirt, come to that."

It was an offer of princely generosity. Ash's mouth was dry. "And what would you have from me?" he asked.

Something flared in Webster's cool expression for a moment, like a shark flashing a fin in still waters. "A month," he said.

like the brightest of stars Fandom: The Iliad - HomerDate: 24 Jul 2018Length: 2k wordsStatus: CompleteGenre: Gen

When I tell the story of Achilles, I tell it like this.

Jack was still not quite sure how Darling had managed to swing them a shared staircase with no one else on it for their final year. "Interlopers, my dear Jonathan," Darling had said, "are not to be borne in this, our collegiate idyll."

[The Starless Road] Fandom: The SilmarillionDate: 23 Aug 2015–20 Sep 2015Length: 62k words; 9 chaptersStatus: CompleteGenre: Maedhros/Fingon

"Maedhros sought destruction body and spirit, and found both. When Mandos summoned him, he refused, and first of them all he has been taken by the void that they swore themselves to. He is not in the world, and will not come again. Deeper darknesses are there than that which Morgoth made below Thangorodrim!” Fingon paused and looked at Finrod. “Should I not then have killed him as he asked me?”

“No!” said Finrod, but Turgon said nothing.

Sam grew even more upset. “Now that’s not right,” he said, “that can’t be right! Just or not – and I don’t know that it is, begging your pardon, sir – still, no story should end that way!”

The Waters Compassed me About Fandom: The SilmarillionDate: 11 Jun 2016Length: 1k wordsStatus: CompleteGenre: Gen,Maglor,Elros Tar-Minyatur

“You were seeking me,” said Maglor at last. “Why?” “I didn’t know an Elf could look as bad as you do,” Elros said.
