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.

Fandom: The Commonweal Series by Graydon Saunders
Title: Resurrection
Word length: 100

Content notes: Takes place during a significant event in Safely You Deliver, but I doubt it would make any sense if you haven't read the book. I tried my hand at writing in the more arcane style that some of the Independents speak in, rather than the author's style for the books, so it might not make any sense anyway.

Summary: The Independent Crane remembers an extraordinary event.

Title: Chance, a bedtime story

Fandom:Liveship Traders

Prompt and challenges: fan_flashworks challenge #235 prompt(s) « Ship »

Characters and relationships: Amber, Paragon, OC

Length: 950 (words)

Content notes: reference to past injuries, AU (the way Amber heals Paragon is different)

Author notes: I read this a longish time ago and I don't really remember how it happens in the book. Initially I only wanted to exploit the idea that there's no reason for ships to have a gender and have genderfluid Amber free him from this cage as well. As usual though, they both did as they wished without listening to me.
I didn't know it until I wrote the last few lines but I was probably influenced by the recent discory of Pride Dragons by Kaenith which can be seen here (design and craft) :)

Summary: Newly recarved Paragon comes back to port at last and meets its first crew member.

Author notes:Mid-book
Summary: Kasia loved Agnieszka better than anyone else in the world, but she had never solved the mystery of how she could make so loud a noise or so great a disturbance without even trying.

Well, maybe they knew now; maybe it had been magic all along. Only the Dragon was standing the other end of the kitchen table - had prompted the loud noise, in fact - staring at Agnieszka like he couldn’t understand, either.
