Summary
“But in recent years, it has occurred to me from time to time that it might have made for an interesting twist if instead I had made the dragonlords of Valyria... and therefore the Targaryens... black.” —George R.R. Martin
They ride on the backs of beasts as fearsome and ethereal as any that the Westerosi have ever seen. With a word, they call down pillars of fire. They make pyres of the fields where their enemies once stood. Their hair is dark and sculpted in coronal braids, laced with silver, and their eyes are the inky violet of dusk.

Summary
“I guess it wouldn’t be fair if we got to keep everything,” John says. He’s doing his best to stay upbeat, and he still sounds bright, but everyone can tell he’s upset.
Rose sniffs and draws her knees up closer to her chest, shuffling to sit more comfortably on the roof. Dave clears his throat and avoids looking at anybody.
Jade stares at her dirt-stained hands. She blinks back tears from behind her thick glasses. “It’s still not,” she says, and her voice shakes.
(The kids lose their powers on Earth C.)

Summary
New Chicago is a labyrinth of argon, steel, circuits, and blood, each in every color of the rainbow. Roxy Lalonde shows up on its doorstep with a suitcase, a sniper rifle, and an assignment to guard the second most important person in the world: Jane Crocker, Heiress to the Crockercorp fortune.
With a war raging on the Empire's borders, there shouldn't be anywhere safer than the capitol city. But between rebel attacks getting more and more ambitious and the Heiress' increasingly erratic behavior, Roxy finds herself in the middle of a dynastic conspiracy that threatens everything she's ever known about the world and her place in it.

Summary
A series of fics set in the Spiderverse about home, and its variations.
All can be read as stand-alones, although they follow a vague chronological order and sometimes overlap. Any liberties taken with physics, quantum theory, or New York geography are strictly artistic and (probably) intentional.

Summary
Maybe he’d shown Crowley how to perform a few miracles, but that Crowley had taken to them so well was surely a sign that he wasn’t all bad. And maybe Aziraphale had let himself be called upon to perform a few temptations, but that was just testing the will of the faithful if you looked at it from a different angle.
He wouldn’t have needed to resort to these techniques, he told himself, if Heaven hadn’t recalled so many of their other agents over the years, if humans with their sins and their saintliness hadn’t multiplied quite so quickly, if someone had explained to him precisely his position in the Plan. But they hadn’t, and he had to get along somehow.
And anyway, if it were really so bad someone surely would have told him to stop doing it.
