New challenge is on its way.

Title: Cruelty
Fandom: The World Ends With You
Rating: M
Word Count: 1653
Prompts: Challenge 252: Key, and the 'Comfort' square on my bingo card.
Content notes: Power imbalance, mind reading, mind games and manipulation, angry/violent makeout, frustrated self-pitying sadomasochists. Spoilers.
Summary: Joshua Kiryu/Megumi Kitaniji. Joshua's good at hurting people, but would it really be too much to ask for them to return the favor once in a while? (It might not be, actually, but Joshua will never know because he is incapable of actually asking for things he wants like a damn adult.)
Author notes: Hm. This one's… well out of my comfort zone for what I usually write, and ended up more rushed than I would have like because of a deadline for something else yesterday. Ah well.

( it would be so much better if Megumi were trying to be cruel )

Title: Oscillation
Fandom: Legends of Tomorrow/The Flash
Pairing/Characters: Hartley Rathaway, Wally West, Leonard Snart, Garima, Mick Rory, Sara Lance, Hartley Rathaway/Wally West, minor Leonard Snart/Garima/Mick Rory
Challenge: Key (and the Games square on my bingo card)
Rating: PG-13
Length: 1454
Summary: Hartley agrees to help the Legends when Wally asks. Leonard Snart didn't die at the Oculus, but they can't figure out how to make him corporeal.

( Oscillation )

Title: The Front Door
Fandom: The Libertines
Characters: Carl Barât, Peter Doherty
Rating: Mature (general themes and language)
Length: 3792
Notes: Also for the 'House' square on my bingo card. One of several planned for this AU but stands alone as well.
Content notes: Inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's (mainly the book).

( The Front Door )

Title: i have the key
Fandom: N/A
Rating: G
Content notes: None apply
Summary: icons of keys


( i have the key )

Title: Under Lock and Key
Fandom: Naruto
Rating: T
Length: 554 words
Content notes: Swearing, Talk of death and murder. Some Shippuden references.
Prompts: Challenge #252: Key. It also fills the "key" prompt of my 100 fandoms table challenge and the "Corpses/Skeletons/Remains" square of my genprompt_bingo card.
Summary: Kurama is a construct of anger and chakra, and hates being locked up.

( Under Lock and Key )

Title: Sensual
Fandom: Swallows and Amazons series
Rating: T
Length: 500 words
Content notes: Set just before Pigeon Post. Timothy Stedding / Jim Turner.
Author notes: For the "key" prompt at fan_flashworks . Also fits the "exploration" challenge (bingo card square). 12th in my personal 50x500 Swallows and Amazons fic challenge (prompt: sensual).
Summary: "It’s torture, to be so near Jim and yet so far; to want so badly to reach out and touch him, to be certain he’ll never dare."

Title: When I Was Older
Fandom: Guardian
Rating: G
Length: ~4000 words
Notes: Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan, canon-divergent AU. Implied spoilers up to episode 5. Also for the prompts Loud (FFW bingo) and De-Aging (crack bingo). Tons of thanks to cyphomandra and trobadora for beta. No warnings apply. (More author notes at the end.)
Language notes: Hei Lao Ge = Old Brother Black (informal). The Mandarin equivalent of "Speak of the Devil" is "Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives." (Originally a quotation from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.)
Summary: Zhao Yunlan stops in his tracks. “Hey, you’re that undergrad Li Qian’s tutoring.” He snaps his fingers. “Shen Wei, right?”

( When I Was Older )

( Author notes. )

Title: Heartstrings
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Rating: G
Word Count: 975
Prompt: Challenge 252 - Key
Summary: Rodney never knows what to get John for his birthday. And now that they're back in Pegasus, that makes it even harder.
Content Notes: None

( Story behind the cut )

Title: Once I was Shino
Fandom: Naruto
Characters: Aburame Shino, Aburame Torune, Aburame Shibi
Challenge: Key
Rating: T
Lenght: ca 3100
Content notes: mentions of child abuse and mental abuse and physical abuse, identity crisis
Author notes: h/c bingo square "Homesick", liberties were taken with personalities
Summary: When Shino was a child, Danzo forcefully recruited him into Root, the secretive underground organization who require their members to lose their emotions. Then one day, Danzo died. (In Canon, Shino's brother Torune took his place. Imagine if he hadn't.)


( Once I was Shino )

Title: The key to winning

Title: "What doctrine call you this?"
Fandom: The Magicians (TV)
Relationships: Arielle focus [Arielle and Teddy, Arielle*Quentin*Eliot]
Rating: Mature
Length: ~4800 words

Content notes: Warnings for consent issues and disturbing content. I keep my warning policy in my AO3 profile and am always willing to answer private DW messages or emails asking for elaboration or clarification on my warnings for a particular story. Regarding the pairing: Much as with my last story for FFW, I've been using the "*" for relationships that don't fit neatly into the "&" or "/" categories, a note that here applies to Arielle, Eliot, and Quentin in essentially every combination.

Author notes: For both the "Key" challenge and the "Apple" square on my bingo card. Since the word "key" occurs zero times in this story, I should note—on the off chance that anyone is giving this a cross-fandom read—that it is in reference to the canonical context: a quest, in which Eliot and Quentin are trying to solve a puzzle to find a magical key. Title from "Doctor Faustus." There's a choose your own adventure element, here: while this is, technically, part of my massive post-S3 Magicians id-universe, it also should be perfectly happy standing alone, and part of me wants to write a, like, AU of my own story, in which the two universes more or less diverge at this point. I'm not going to do that, though—no, really. I'm actually not. Probably. With many thanks to glorious_spoon for the parent- and child-pick, and to breathedout for the beta. ETA 2019.02.01: this story is now also posted to AO3.

Summary:

The last temptation of Arielle Perry.

( 'What doctrine call you this?,' The Magicians, Arielle*Quentin*Eliot, ~4.8k )

Title: Accessible
Fandom: Magic Knight Rayearth
Rating: Teen maybe
Length: 1000ish words
Content notes: None
Author notes: Stand-alone established Zazu/Ascot (probably fits in the series of stand-alone Zazu/Ascot little fics I have going but there's literally no reference to them.) - For 'key', but also 'comfort' for my ffwks bingo card, and for 'feathers' for the magicknightrayearth challenge.
Summary: Zazu wonders how Cephiran locks even work.

( Accessible )

Title: The one you love and the one who loves you are never the same person
Fandom: Carmilla (Web Series)
Characters: Carmilla Karnstein, Laura Hollis (mentioned)
Pairings: Laura Hollis/Carmilla Karnstein
Rating: G
Length: 33
Content Notes: Takes place during 2x22 - Compulsory Violence
Author Notes: Title is a quote from Chuck Palahniuk Invisible Monsters 1999 - The Quietest & Most Constant of Friends. Written for Challenge 252: Key and Challenge 25: Borrowed Title (Bingo Square) at fan_flashworks
Summary: "You want the kind of love that clicks. Like a key into a lock. But I don't have any of that to give you."

title: your first mistake
fandom: Shivers (1995 video game)
word count: 150
contents: second person; no spoilers beyond the opening movie (and I took some poetic license with that)

Note: I loved this game so much! But I haven't played it in years, and was just reminded by finding some old game CDs. Now if I can just find this one and make it work on my laptop... oh, and this also fills the Haunted square on my bingo card :D

( Ghosts aren't real! )

Title: Unravelling A Mystery
Fandom: Torchwood
Author: badly_knitted
Characters: Ianto, Jack, Tosh.
Rating: G
Word Count: 1535
Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Torchwood and mysteries go hand in hand. One of the best parts of Ianto’s job is trying to figure out the things that fall through the Rift.
Content Notes: None needed.
Written For: Challenge 252: Key. Also for the ‘Paper’ square on my bingo card.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
