word count: 635
pairing: Nikos Vallas/Abel Cross
rating: PG
summary: Abel comes home after two months away on business.

(  It didn't matter how much he could translate of what Nikos murmured when they lay in bed together, because he understood: he was home. )

verse: Ghosts by the Reservoir
community: writerverse
prompt: Phase #6: Challenge #08a: Big Break, The Short Story
word count: 659
rating: G
summary: Between his studies as a first year college student, his job as an admissions intern, his other job as a part-time exorcist, and the ghost that stubbornly refuses to leave his apartment, Ian is having kind of a bad day. Mary rescues him with a cup of coffee.

title: Looking Far Too Skinny
verse: Harry Potter
community: galentinesday 
recipient: flipflop_diva 
characters: Molly Weasley, Nymphadora Tonks
pairings: implied (one sided) Tonks/Lupin
word count: 984
rating: G
summary: Tonks gets some tea and comfort from Mrs Weasley.
notes: this was my first real gift fic/exchange, not counting informal gifts for my friends. I had a lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again sometime!

( 'You don't look like yourself.' )

title: Fool
verse: Cactus Flower (Jazz Remix)
community: writerverse + asexual_fandom + #femslash february
prompt: Phase #5: Challenge #3: List o' Doom: Δ (19: emotion: jealousy) + Asexy Valentine's Day
word count: 611
rating: PG13
summary: Mariel said something stupid and mean to Aya, and has to make it up to her somehow. There is kissing.
notes: this is your friendly reminder that the multiverse is a big place and Mariel and Aya have zero to do with their canon counterparts; what is it they say in TSUBASA? "people you know have grown up in different conditions in different worlds" or w/e? that.
anyway, if we're going to use modern terminology (lol what is historical accuracy???), Mariel is a heteroromantic asexual in a relationship with Aya, a sexual lesbian. it's complicated, but they make it work.

( 'You're my only girl.' )
