- Knowing and Understanding by Ragamuffins, Archived version (2014), Maxie had always known that May Maple had calmed Groudon down. But knowing and understanding were two different things, as he soon enough realized later on.
- Tectonic by orangemetaphor, Archived version (2014), He tasted like the aggravatingly posh red wine he was sipping before their confrontation. That fire was back, nipping at his lips, getting toothy, pulling his bottom lip between her teeth, leaving ash in her wake. Rated Explicit.
