Title: Price Willingly Paid
Fandom: Marvelverse
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, they themselves do. This is not fiction. No money being made from this.
Series: Soldier of Tomorrow
Characters: Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark
Rating/Warnings: Gen fic, spoilers for Captain America: Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War
Notes: Second part of my Allegiance swap AU. The original prompt say bad guys as good guys and vice versa. I have decided to have fun. The first part Out of the Ice is found at that link.
Summary: Any price Bucky can pay, he'd pay it for Steve.

~~~~

( He's standing next to Steve, holding him up, or the other way round, when Stark comes at them again. )

End note: The "I could do this all day" bit and how much Steve in that moment looks and moves like pre-serum Steve is my favourite non-T'Challa part of Civil War, so I couldn't help but want to play with that scene in this AU.

Not including that one Snake Eyes fill I just could not get to work in 3 sentences. I have 2 different 4 sentence versions and it's oh so frustrating.

Prompt: any fandom with a high-technology setting, any, sword & sorcery AU
Fill: To Seek Out New Civilisations (Star Trek: TNG, gen)
( Fill )

Prompt: any, any, struggling against muscle memory
Fill: Made To Measure, Kurogane, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (Spoilers)
( Fill (small spoilers for Ceres onwards) )

Prompt: mcu, any, sponsor
Fill: A Word From Our Sponsor, Nick Fury gen
( Fill )

Prompt: Any fandom with a late-20th-century setting, any characters, “It's about the Marshmallow Incident; and the Filing Cabinet Incident; and also the Volkswagen Beetle Parked On Top of the Fountain in the Fucking Lily Pond Incident.”
Fill: There are reasons (X-Men gen) (like I could help it given that prompt)
( Fill )

Prompt: any, any, that intermediate level of language proficiency where you can pretty much get your point across but sometimes the way you phrase things is bizarre
Fill: Old-fashioned (Star Trek Reboot verse, Uhura and McCoy gen)
( Fill )

Prompt: any, any, David Attenborough narrates a nature documentary involving AUV Boaty McBoatface
( Fill )
Let's be honest, every British child of my gen can do a David Attenborough impression.

Prompt: Dune (any version), Liet Kynes, paths not taken
Fill: Family Tree (Miniseries version in my head)
( Fill )

Prompt: Any, any, toxic yuri selfcest
Fill (and long explanation): It's always you and me, always and forever (AEW, Toni Storm / Mariah May)
I realised while writing why it fits the prompt and looks like it doesn't if you're not following this storyline. For those not into wrestling, Toni Storm returned as a Norma Desmond type character. Mariah May appeared, and it all went significantly All About Eve [complete with TCM intro and Ben Mankiewicz voice-overs]. Both of them have canonically dressed up as each other, and the resemblance is uncanny.)
( Fill )

Prompt: Star Trek, any, the difference between theory and practice
Fill: The Wrong Button, Reboot Verse Scotty fic
( Fill )
Inspired by this fill upthread - https://threesentenceficathon.dreamwidth.org/5186.html?thread=11086146#cmt11086146

Prompt: LOTR, Boromir, I can see no way, I can see no way
Fill: Bereft of Hope
( Fill )

Disclaimer: The characters aren’t mine, they belong to themselves or a variety of wrestling companies. No money is being made from this, and it is a work of fiction. I also don't own the quote in the summary, which is from Blake's 7.
Characters: Sting-centric gen fic
Rating: PG-13
Notes/Warnings: Set in Aces and Eights era TNA

Summary: As far as Sting's concerned, a man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.

~~~~

( A man who trusts )

The End

Title: Out of the Ice
Fandom: Marvelverse
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, they themselves do. This is not fiction. No money being made from this.
Series: Soldier of Tomorrow
Characters: Bucky Barnes, Steve Rogers, background SHIELD characters
Rating/Warnings: Gen fic, spoilers for Captain America: First Avenger and Captain America: Winter Soldier
Notes: Allegiance swap AU. The original prompt say bad guys as good guys and vice versa. I have decided to have fun.
Summary: They all said finding him was a miracle.

~~~~
( Out of the Ice )
~~~~

End notes: This goes AU at two points in order for the characters to swap places. Bucky still falls off the train, but Hydra don't find him, while Steve still goes down stopping Schmidt's plan, but he is found by Hydra. I have also included a piece of personal fanon, which is that Bucky was experimented on by Schmidt and Hydra while originally captured so he has something similar to super soldier serum going on.

And yes, in the AU version of Civil War that follows, the arm becomes a plot point.

Title: Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent

Fandom: Wrestling
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, they themselves do. This is not fiction. No money being made from this.
Characters: Darby Allin, Sting

Notes: Written for the 30 Day AU Challenge on the theme of Buddy Cop or Detective AU.
Summary: Darby knows they've given him a partner for this undercover mission for a reason, but he's surprised they've given him such a straight arrow as Sting. He's got no idea how Sting plans to infiltrate a biker bar.

( Starks was a loud-mouth braggart. )

Title: Now I Turn Unto My Calling
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Avengers, this one specifically references events in Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you recognise, Marvel do. No money being made from this.
Series: Oaths (Part 1 is here)
Characters: OFC Medic
Rating: PG-rated gen
Warnings: Canonical-typical violence, spoilers, gratuitous use of the one allowed strong swearword in a PG-12 film
Summary: Even with SHIELD gone, she's alright, there's always a need for doctors willing to work emergency medicine. Of course, you never really leave SHIELD.

~~~~

( Now I Turn Unto My Calling )

Title: The New York Incident
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Avengers Assemble
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you recognise, Marvel do. No money being made from this.
Series: Oaths
Characters: OFC Medic
Rating: PG-rated gen
Warnings: Canonical-typical violence, spoilers

~~~~

( She supposes it's a side effect of the sort of person SHIELD hires. )

Title: She Walks In Colours Everywhere
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Inception
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you recognise, Warner brothers and the Nolan brothers do. No money being made from this.
Characters: Arthur, Dom Cobb and Mal
Rating: PG-rated gen
Warnings: Canonical character death, canonical violence, spoilers
Summary: The first time Arthur sees Mal in Cobb's dreams

( They're in Seville (actually, they're in Hong Kong). )

Title: Fireflies in New York
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Doctor Who
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you recognise, the BBC do. No money being made from this.
Characters: Amy Pond, Alien OC
Rating: U rated gen, less peril than the Sarah Jane Adventures
Notes: Written for a meme prompt, but it went off-prompt. Slight spoilers for "Angels Take Manhattan"
Summary: Just because they're stuck in the 1930s and there's no Doctor about, it doesn't mean they're not going to investigate strange goings on.

( There were some advantages to having been sent back to the 1930s but in the US, ways it was better than if they'd been sent back in time but stuck in the UK. )

Title: Adrift in the Wreckage
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Twelfth Night
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you recognise, they're all Shakespeare's.
Characters: Antonio, Sebastian, Sebastian's crew
Pairings: Antonio/Sebastian
Rating: PG-12 (upper end of PG, canonical levels of violence)
Notes: Written to a prompt from LGBTfest 2009. The original prompt was, "The laws of every land condemn sodomy--but they're at sea." Physical descriptions from a version I saw in Manchester once (which was most excellent). The more piratical parts were influenced by this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_code. A couple of bits of dialogue pinched from Shakespeare.

There is some very 16th century medicine in here and some highly inaccurate sailing vernacular.

Summary: The law of the sea was that you look for survivors when you pass a wreck, and you save them if you find them. Antonio has followed the sea's laws all his life, and knows how they differ from the laws of the land. When he and his crew rescue a half-drowned survivor from a wreck, Antonio finds himself caught between the sea's laws and the land's laws.

( Antonio had always lived off the sea. )
~~~~

The end

End notes: I recommend the following as a soundtrack. It was certainly helpful during the writing process

.

Dreamwidth end notes: Yup, I did write this with Sebastian's name being Sebastian all the way through. And then realised that the parts I had to quote from the play included the "Sebastian called himself Roderigo on the boat" parts. I thought that it would be fine, and some retrospective rewriting of memory on Antonio's part could be blamed. And then I realised I needed the Sebastian = Roderigo bit for the ending. Cue re-write.

Title: Today When
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Batman (TV 1966)
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, DC do. ABC own this version. No money is being made from this fic.
Characters: Bruce Wayne, Dick Grayson, Aunt Harriet, Alfred and some special guest villains
Pairings: Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson
Rating: I'd call this a U.
Notes: Goes a bit historically AU in 1970, the Minnesota Supreme Court decision goes the other way. Written in response to a 2011 LGBTfest prompt. The prompt asked for the DC comics version of the character and I hope the prompter doesn't mind that I went with this.
Title taken from "A Blessing for Wedding" by Jane Hirshfield - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/53393/a-blessing-for-wedding.
This is fluffy and gooey. When I started writing it, I needed fluffy and gooey in my life.
Summary: When the Prince of Gotham and his former ward announce their engagement, Gotham has its usual over-reaction to all things Wayne.

~~~~

( Today When )
~~~~

End note: Yes, their skiing honeymoon gets interrupted by the obvious person, but if they'd gone anywhere sunny, they would have run into one of Professor McElroy's digs. I think criminal enterprises just happen to them.

Many adventures are had when either Batman or Robin is caught in public with a wedding ring, and the reverse, on those few occasions when either Bruce or Dick is spotted without theirs on. Alfred becomes very good at surreptitiously passing them rings.

You all know the Gotham Globe, right, the Gazette is it's downmarket rival. Imagine the National Enquirer with a Bruce Wayne fixation.

LJ notes: This is the fic that is known as "Exit, pursued by Aunts".

Title: We are not love's young dream
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: TNA wrestling
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, they themselves do. This bares no resemblance to the real life of the people portraying the characters and is a work of complete fiction. No money is being made from this fic.
Characters: Brooke Hogan and Bully Ray
Pairings: Brooke Hogan/Bully Ray
Rating: PG-12, use of the one allowed swear word.
Notes: Fic set in 2012. Please give me some leeway on the bit about the Knockouts Championship.
Summary: Brooke knows what this looks like, but Bully makes her happy. With the usual thanks to Missy for putting up with some very peculiar questions while I was writing this.

~~~~

( We are not love's young dream )

End notes: I will leave to the reader whether they prefer this to go AU from the storyline as it actually unfolded, or prefer the idea of Bully playing everyone in this.

LJ end notes: Parts of this fic were at least partly inspired by how much Bully Ray looked like overgrown teenage boy having to meet prom date's father at various points in this storyline.

As you've probably guessed, I haven't see Cabin in the Woods, but I needed a film that came out around then that I could imagine Bully Ray maybe watching in the cinema. Other suggestions are gratefully accepted.

It's also very much an example of writing more fic about terrible angles than good ones, because this is fic number two of about four and a half fics about the Aces and Eights storyline when it was terrible, and yet I seem to write nothing/very little about angles I enjoyed.

Title: The Night Raven
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Marvelverse (specifically, Avengers Assemble and Black Widow)
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, Marvel does, and no money is being made from this.
Characters: Black Widow and Hawkeye
Rating/Warning: PG-12 gen fic, vaguest of vague spoilers for the Black Widow film.
Notes: Written for the 30 Day AU challenge, on the theme of mythical creatures.
Summary: There's so many reasons the raven could be coming for her.

( They're in Budapest again, she's in Budapest again. )

Title: And hailing from the Andromeda Galaxy
Author: Red Fiona
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, they themselves do. No money is being made from this. It bears no resemblance to real life (I choose to believe Luchasaurus is a dinosaur).
Fandom: AEW Wrestling
Characters: JR and Excalibur (and Kris Statlander in passing)
Rating/Warnings: G-rated gen fic
Summary: JR is used to introducing people as being from Parts Unknown and Death Valley, when they're actually from Dallas or Flagstaff. People turning out to really be aliens is a new one on him.

( JR has worked in wrestling for years )

Title: A Suitable Husband
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Last of the Summer Wine
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, the BBC do, and no money is being made from this.
Characters: Norman Clegg
Rating: PG-12
Notes: Much delayed lgbtfest 2012 fic, written to the prompt, "Last of the Summer Wine, Norman Clegg, Getting married seemed to be the easiest way out (Cleggy's queer identity open to the author)."
Warning: Mentions of canonical character death
Summary: He never did quite understand the sex thing.

~~~~

( He never did quite understand the sex thing. )

End notes: Cleggy is a delight to write, not least of all because he gives me an opportunity to write in authentic Northern gibberish.

Title: What He'd Never Thought To Want
Author: Red Fiona
Fandom: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, CLAMP and their publishers do, and no money is being made from this.
Characters: Kurogane, Fai, background rest of the team and Masayoshi.
Pairings: Kurogane/Fai
Rating: NC-17, for sex
Notes: Post-series, established relationship fic. Or "every Tsubasa writer writes at least one furisode fic," this is mine.
Tags: identity porn, clothes porn
Summary: After seeing Kurogane's reaction to him in a furisode, Fai dresses up for Kurogane. Both of them get carried away.

~~~~

( In many ways, it had started on a different world. )
