Come To Your Senses by Ashlyn
November 2010, Choice 1: Autumn is a time of the senses. No matter where you live, the seasons change, nature changes, animals change, the clothing changes, decor changes, colors change...etc. It's a feast for all the senses taste, touch, smell, hearing, sight.

However, if it is slash, the more "sense"ual, the better.

Etched in Silver by Farad
February 2010, Choice 2: set the timer for 30 minutes, go look at this picture, and write whatever you like.
I cheated a little, in that I used the picture and time in every scene. Interestingly, water appears to be something that draws me to this universe. The first time I saw the picture, part of this story came to mind, and I can't look at the picture without thinking about it.
This story follows Adsum. The index to Maygra's Shadowriders universe is here.
Warnings: knives, chains, molten silver, not your average kink
C/V/B; AU: Maygra's Shadowriders; FRAO

They could be getting ready for the intra-teams ATF competition, and fully prepared to breeze along on Vin's shooting skills. They could be playing a pick-up game after work. Note: one of them could accept a challenge and the other(s) could support, bet, etc.

Warnings: Deathfic (of a sort).
Author's notes: I recently had the great angsty pleasure of reading Zeke Black's Clear Blue Sky which is about as emotionally intense as it's possible to be. This is my own version of what the epilogue should have been, and yes, Zeke has not only read it, but suffered beta-ing it for me twice!

Fortalezan Fortal by Farad
November, December 2008; February, March 2009

Note: This is a sort of founding story for the version of the Escorts universe that Charlotte and Stan Lee did where Chris and Buck are together.
