    Summary

    Most unusually, _not_ in Tolkien/Silmarillion fandom.

    Fan poetry as tribute to the creators who have shaped me throughout the years. I have been writing these, very intermittently, for a while, and figured they should have a home somewhere.

    Chapter 1: For you, a doorway... (Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children, and the fantasy worlds we build.)
    Chapter 2: You think you're giving me the world (Frontier sci-fi, and the heroines who are expected to lose their thirst for adventure once they are married to the heroes.)
    Chapter 3: A fairytale of rockets, incomplete (Ray Bradbury and classic sci-fi, and building our own fantasies.)
    Chapter 4: The witch who used to haunt Potrero Hill (Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, and people who have fallen through the cracks.)
    Chapter 5: Red shoes. (A different take on the classic fairy tale.)
    Chapter 6: Arrival. (Fantasy characters who run away and grow up.)
    Chapter 7: Elegy for Apollo. (Ada Palmer's Terra Ignota, and the irresistible drive to explore the universe.)
    Chapter 8: Forgetting. (Memory loss, and what we leave behind.)
    Chapter 9: The Price of Fire (Prometheus, Rewind). (Our stories and histories fascinated with glory and war.)

    Summary

    Dean is an omega, though most people wouldn't guess that. And he's got nothing of value to provide for Sam's future except the potential dowry price he could earn if he applies for a Binding Union with an alpha. Everything about the idea of a union leaves a sour pit in Dean's gut -- the application process, the matching, the binding ceremony, a lifetime as trophy omega bitch for some rich alpha brat. Can he do it? Give up who he is, bite his tongue, bow at a stranger's feet just because a quirk of his biology and the rules of society say he should? Dean's not sure if he can, he sure as hell doesn't want to, but to secure Sam's future, Dean's willing to try.

    Summary

    It was 3013, and the entire world had drastically changed since World War VII.

    "I don't want to hurt you anymore," Hoseok begged, clutching Yoongi's hands over the bars.

    "I don't have a problem giving my body away. It's just a sack of flesh and blood. It's my heart I've been guarding all my life. And it's yours," Yoongi smiled sadly at Hoseok who looked back at him in anguish.

    Summary

    Amara "Mara" Shimada has a hard life. Poor, ugly, no father, an overworking mother whom she rarely sees, many health problems to the point she has only one certain thing in her life: she's going to die at 18 due to heart problems. She resigned herself to a life of faith, doing good things and small dreams.

    Her short and predictable life came to a halt when she received the visit of a beautiful and strong princess from another dimension calling herself Tojava. She explains to her that her problems are due to a curse that was placed on her own world. She also shares the same fate as her, of dying when she's 18. There is a sliver of hope though: the man who placed that cursed ran away to Mara's world and she can find a way to reserve the curse and cure them both.

    In order to do that, however, she needs to exchange bodies with Mara, because she cannot leave her kingdom unattended. Mara accepts and she becomes princess Tojava, ruler of a vast empire and innumerous subjects that love her.

    This is too good to be true, right? Mara learns that not everything is what it seems...

    Summary

    There isn't much left on Earth by the 24th century. War and climate change have left it a husk of what it used to be, and the Company long ago chose to take the opportunity to swoop in and offer to free humans through work. The lack of employees returning has given most a great deal of hesitation to join the Company, but an advertisement comes around for a new program where substantial payout can be earned at the end of your contract. In the heat of the moment, you decide to take your chance at it, leaving your desolate life on Earth behind and plunging yourself into something you fully know is a risk.
    What you ultimately take on during the job is something far more complex than you could've imagined, and not just from your life being in danger every day. This is a story of haunting creatures, a greedy employer, the transgender experience in post-apocalypse society, and finding a brother you never knew you needed.

    Summary

    "Let me, for once, care for you Taylor." Claire thinks to herself, seeing Rae's poor eating habits. She knows why, of course. It's not like Rae is used to having food readily available.

    She herself isn't used to wanting to care for Taylor, she's always been a bit of an annoyance but then again with how loyal she's been, well Claire thinks that maybe the Commoner has started to grow on her. And she's seen how Tayl... Rae lives now. Poverty really is evil, she reminds herself.

    So maybe she should start doing something about it. At the very least, she has to remind her idiot to take better care of herself.

    Summary

    There were very few documented cases of someone being rejected by their soulmate, which would lead the average person to believe it was a rare occurrence. Sand learned that it had less to do with it being a “rare occurrence” and more to do with the soulmate being too humiliated to broadcast it to the world.

    When he looked at his soulmate’s wrist, it didn’t say “Sand”; instead, his name was crossed out entirely. The name “Mew” was written sloppily in black marker, lying just below where his name should be. Ray had created a faux soulmark.

    Summary

    The king spoke up after studying Dream for a moment. "Throughout the past five years you have more than proven yourself to be loyal to my cause and I want you to become a part of the royal guards inner circle."

    Dream felt almost sick hearing those words, especially because he felt like they had become true. He didn’t want them to be true.

    "I want you to be my son’s personal guard," the king announced.

    The prince’s eyes snapped to Dream with an expression he couldn’t quite read, before returning to an indifferent expression.

    After a moment Dream answered, "It would be an honor."

    Or

    After an unlucky heist Dream gets captured and is forced to work for the corrupt king. What happens when he finds himself falling in love with the prince? Could he really betray his father’s legacy like that?
