Title: Winning Bet
Fandom: Mass Effect
Rating: R
Length: 303
Pairing: Kaidan Alenko/male Shepard
Content notes: Sexual activity, fluffy pwp.

Title: Kiss With a Fist
Author: clarahow // agentroxylancelots // charleybradburies (will be posted after challenge)
Fandom: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. / MCU / Marvel
Characters: Skye & Grant Ward
Pairing: SkyeWard
Length: 1315w
Rating: M
Summary: “Not exactly a rookie here, Ward,” she bluntly states. "And you're the one with a debt to pay and loyalty to prove."
Content Notes: Slightly kinky by way of restraints, betting, and semi-public implied sex. (No sex in this fic - this is just the bickering foreplay.)
Author Notes: Written for Challenge #118: Wager. Also applicable are challenges #90: Doorway and #113: Locked. Also inspired by the OTPPrompts prompt: Person A dares Person B to kiss them as a joke, but is then taken by surprise when Person B does just that.
Sequel to Chapter 5 of 'An Unconventional Approach' but I think it can stand alone.
Named after the so very Skyeward song Florence + the Machine's Kiss With a Fist.

Title: The Quality of Mercy
Fandom: Hamlet
Rating: G
Length: ~1100 words
Content notes: Hamlet/Horatio and an alternate ending of the play wherein there are not as many corpses.
Author notes: This is mostly based on the Peter Brook production, wherein Adrian Lester as Hamlet and Scott Handy as Horatio are brilliant and intense. It was a production that made me wonder, what if Horatio actually went and did something instead of just watching, because this one seemed like he would have done.
Summary: "You will lose this wager, my lord."
