  1. Summary

    A revision of my old epic trilogy, As the Turn of the World, aka The Avatar/Firefly Fusion AU.

    In which Aang never woke up from the iceberg, and the world went on without him. Over the next three thousand years, technology advanced astronomically, and the people of the overcrowded world took to the stars. Now, the Avatar is an obscure myth, bending is regarded as a relic of a dead past, and only two of the original countries still exist: the Fire Nation, one of the most powerful forces in the Union of Allied Planets, and the Water Tribe, clinging to life on the Outer Rim, still fighting for the dream of independence. The latest civil war ended seven years ago, in a landslide victory for the Alliance.

    What follows is a magnum opus of friendship, camaraderie, trauma and its scars and healing and pain, rekindling what's been lost, forging new paths forward through a muddy and uncaring universe, and finding desperate hope in the black at the edge of space, hope enough to rise up and defeat the darkness to bring light and balance to a 'verse with precious little of either.

  5. Summary

    Aang never woke up from the iceberg, and the world went on without him. Over the next three thousand years, technology advanced astronomically, and the people of the overcrowded world took to the stars. Now, the Avatar is an obscure myth, bending is regarded as a relic of a dead past, and only two of the original countries still exist: the Fire Nation, one of the most powerful forces in the Union of Allied Planets, and the Water Tribe, clinging to life on the Outer Rim, still fighting for the dream of independence. The latest civil war ended seven years ago, in a landslide victory for the Alliance.

    Katara is a Companion working on Sihnon, and has been lucky enough to be picked by the Princess of the Fire Nation to attend to her surly brother, but there's strife in the family that spills over into her life: when she exposes the princess's plot to kill the Fire Lord, she finds herself in prison for conspiracy, and must call in a favor from an old friend, another Companion who travels the border with a band of thieves. Meanwhile, a man named Sokka is on the hunt for his long-lost sister, Admiral Zhao is on the hunt for an old mark, and a man smuggles a large box onto a transport ship...

    Summary

    The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.

    To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.

    In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?

    What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

    Summary

    Based on a writing prompt I saw:

    https://x.com/KaylaAncrum/status/1748613400010121444

    "Man who falls in love with a sphynx and solves her riddles daily, in spite of the threat to his life.
    The boon he requests every night is to sleep by her side in the warm sand and wake up safe. As he grows old, then forgetful, she reconfigures her riddles to accept any answer."

    I took this in my own direction.

    Summary

    Tante Mattie once told Remy that he wouldn’t recognize destiny if it fell out of the sky and crashed right on top of him…

    …which is why when—after a loud crack and startled yelp—someone fell down from the tree directly above his head, the normally well-attuned thief didn’t even see it coming.

    Summary

    Inej had never thought herself to be the jealous type.

    Saints, the very idea of it was antithetical to the way she was raised in her caravan, the way she’d lived her whole life  — always taught to share things, to think of others and not herself. 

    For a good long while, she’d believed it, too. Generosity was a virtue, and one she figured she ought to cling to amidst the others she’d be forced to give up during her life in the Barrel.

    But now, looking across the room to where the evening’s mark blushes and giggles and places her hand oh-so-delicately on Kaz’s sleeve, Inej immediately knows — 

    She doesn’t want to share him with anyone else. Not even a little bit.

    OR: Inej watches Kaz flirt with a mark for a job and decides she's having none of it. Roaring Twenties AU.
