Title: How To Make A Memory

Fandom: As You Are
Relationships: Jack/Mark, Jack and Sarah

Rating: Teen+

Length: Approximately 5,100 words.


Content Notes: A brief reference to past parental abuse, a brief moment of cultural incompetence. Drug and alcohol use. A late teen (19 years old) semi-closeted relationship. Sex, overstimulation and (mostly) repressed anger.

Author notes: Despite the content notes, this story is on the softer side. It’s a missing scene from a canon-divergent AU I wrote in 2018-19. It should make sense to anyone who hasn’t read the original story/isn't familiar with the source, but does contain vague, inexplicit references to a significant, unfortunate event that happened off-screen, precipitating this scene. The album referred to is Spiritualized’s Lazer Guided Melodies.

Summary: Ten hours. But who’s counting.

Title: One Conversation Klaus Never Had (but perhaps should have)
Fandoms: Umbrella Academy, Lincoln in the Bardo
Rating: General Audiences
Characters: Klaus Hargreeves, Roger Bevins iii
Words: ~1500
Content Notes: Crack? Complete crap? And in 1st Person to boot. But taken completely seriously. References to suicide and war and injuries sustained in it.
Author Notes: With most abject, heartfelt apologies to George Saunders. I've been thinking about various ways to explore Klaus and his relationships with ghosts, and try as I might I could not make this plot bunny die. There's a little more of it I wasn't able to edit in time for the deadline, but it ends at a natural pause. An umbrella ripped open by a wind I could not feel is a quote from the book.

Title: I'm Dealing With It
Creator: sjnt
Fandom: Jessica Jones
Rating: N/A
Length: 23 songs, 1 hour & 29 minutes
Author Notes: I wanted to put together a playlist for the deal challenge, and the first character I connected with the phrase "I'm dealing with it" was Jessica Jones. I put together playlists to evoke a certain mood/feeling. These songs are not words coming directly out of Jessica's mouth; they're not meant as stand-ins for her POV, or any other character on the show. If you need a playlist of the songs outside the Spotify embed, just let me know.
Content Notes: Explicit language. References to substance abuse, self-harm, rape and domestic abuse.
