Summary
"Deep down, though she hated it and hated herself for it, she could still feel what it had been like to kill him. The sensual way that energy, life, passion had skittered across her skin and into her. It was subtle at first, then heady and dizzying until she recognized what she had become. It wasn’t addictive, wasn’t even that pleasant, accompanied as it was with a sucking sparking snap that felt almost as though she was breaking open to accommodate what she was stealing. Even so, like a bad habit formed of one part despair and two parts self-destruction, a part of her still felt the urge to do it again."
When Marie and Logan meet for the first time in a sleazy bar, instead of calling out for him, she stands and fights in his defense. Twenty, cynical, and self-destructive, with the innocence and wistfulness of a sheltered girl raised 'right', this Marie balances on a keen razor-edge and knows that the nature of her mutation could mean slipping at any moment. She is all too aware of just how good it feels to make use of her skin, like it or not, and she knows that she can't ever get control without practicing the use of it, like with any skill. Because of that self-awareness, everything changes.

Summary
“It was hard to believe it would be the end of the world; that morning had been a soft, lazy one, pinks and purples blooming in the early dawn as the day broke and the warm light kissed the waters in Old Town. It was an over-easy sunrise, yellow spilling over the horizon like a runny yolk, accidentally punctured after a too-enthusiastic flip of a spatula.”
Or:
In Old Town, before the tower loft and before Crane, before the apocalypse truly begins, one person survives before the outbreak really catches on. She’s not strong enough to tear through volatiles like Crane is, but she’s enduring; and she’ll build up her adoptive people until nothing can harm her found family. Or at least, that’s the plan.

Summary
The events of Mass Effect - though naturally quite a bit different than the romanticized version of events in the games - are real. Earth helped in a small way, the Reapers were defeated, and now the human race as a whole are going to have to deal with being uplifted and the confusion of First Contact having come and gone without their knowledge. The strangers bring priceless gifts, but one human in specific can’t quite accept that they come without ulterior motives.

Summary
Prompt fill for a dear friend, based on the words: Castle, sympathy, wind.
Naruto is a prince, who feels he's been locked in a gilded cage. There's something missing in his life, ever since his parents passed in a tragic hunting accident. What he doesn't know is that the marks on his cheeks are because an element claimed him, and the advisor he grudgingly trusted to rule in his stead has designs on being on the throne... permanently. Luckily, he has a faithful, strong, capable guard. Luckily, this guard knows Naruto's intelligent strategy tutor, and a burgeoning seal-master that would rather keep Danzou from slipping his leash and taking over the Land of Fire completely.

Summary
Karkat Vantas was a mutant. Rejected by the universe for his cherry blood, he searched for a way, any way, to show everyone that he was worth noticing. He thought the invasion would be the perfect opportunity. He would kill some humans, get some glory, and prove himself to be more than a freak. What could go wrong?
Dave Strider was just a teenager. With an abusive brother and not much else, he kept himself moving, leaping from one distraction to the next. He just wanted something to change.
They would both get what they wanted, but in a way neither of them would have ever seen coming.

Summary
Dream-sharing: a highly illegal little industry in which agents delve into people's dreams, and unearth their deepest secrets and memories.
Within this business, the Strider-Lalondes are known as the best there is — until Dirk Strider gets his fool-ass trapped within the confines of his own subconscious, with his Auto-Responder playing malicious prison warden.
To save him, the best and brightest dreamers in the world will have to form a team. Backed by the token rich friend, lead by the surliest extractor ever bribed out of retirement, haunted by the shade of the latest, greatest agent in the biz, and on the run through a dangerous tiered dream in a hostile mind... It's going to take a miracle to pull this one off.
