Title: Gradual Developments

Rating: General
Length: 650ish
Content notes: canonical magically-induced chronic fatigue
Author notes: Somewhere just off the end of master of the clow. Touya/Yuki

Rating: General
Content notes: None

Title: break some bread for all my sins
Fandom: htgawm
Rating: teen
Length: ~100
Notes: michaela gen, pilot coda, title from k flay's blood in the cut

( The shower has long gone cold, and Michaela scrubs harder. )

Title: like taking the same picture over and over
Fandom: Good Omens
Rating: PG-13
Length: ~1500
Written For: Challenge 270: Shower.
Content notes: Pining Crowley, angst.
Author notes: It's a translation of a fic of mine (originally in Spanish), and the theme fitted, so...

( like taking the same picture over and over )

Title: Return from the Nighteye
Fandom: High Rollers: Aerois campaign
Rating: G
Length: 668 words
Content notes: SPOILERS for episode 32, Whispers of the Void (and previous episodes), set at the end of 32.
Author notes: Thought process on the prompt was shower -> rain -> storm, and was going to be more character study on different characters' reactions to storms until I watched episode 32 and... well. (skip) I cried so much about Quill, from the moment Mark went "she's not in shadows..." and I saw it coming to that damn final image of him and Sentry on the altar. I made my best guess at the spelling of place and god names, from Mark's Behind the Screen and reddit threads.
Summary: Thunder roars continuously above them, and Aila almost wants to go outside and roar back.

Title: Gold and Rain

( Gold and Rain )

Title: we sing to set the world to rights
Fandom: Guardian
Rating: G
Length: 1800 words
Notes: team, background established relationship Shen Wei/Zhao Yunlan. Because trobadora questioned whether it could be done, and I said, “Challenge accepted!” and then... didn’t quite manage it. But close! (Disclaimer: I’ve only done karaoke once, but I have watched a ton of Kdramas.) Thanks to trobadora for read-through and mergatrude for beta. <3 No warnings.
Prompt note: I do a lot of cryptic crosswords. Sometimes in the clues “flower” means flow-er, something that flows, ie, a river, and “butter” is something that butts, ie, a goat or ram. So for this, think of “shower” as someone who shows or puts on a show or... does karaoke?
Summary: They need to celebrate, to shake off the last week of close calls, and going by Zhu Hong’s choice of entertainment, tonight they want to feel like regular office workers blowing off steam.
