Arctic Light

So I basically managed not to treat anyone I intended to treat and yet I wrote SIX things, between my assignment, pinch hits, and being randomly struck by treat ideas out of the blue. All in different fandoms, too. And here they are!

Small Soft Changes (Agent Carter, Jack & Peggy, 2000 words)
Jack has a concussion. Peggy keeps an eye on him.

Quantum Theory of Magic (MCU, Thor & Loki w/Valkyrie, 2700 wds)
As they rebuild the new Asgard settlement on Earth, something is wrong with Loki. Thor just has to figure out what. Canon-divergent "everyone lives" AU with references to canon character deaths.

Hardscrabble Life (MCU, Carol/Yon-Rogg, 3800 wds)
"I thought you were supposed to be a fast study," Carol said, and shoved the Scrabble box at him. "So study." (Or: One way to teach an alien to read C-53 script.)

To Every Beloved Stranger (Magicians books, Plum + Eliot & Quentin with a little side Eliot/Quentin, 4000 wds)
There was a plague of Near Deer terrorizing some of the outlying farmsteads near the Erroneous Mountains. Post-canon reunion fic.

Drinking Games (The Expanse, Drummer & Ashford, 1100 wds)
There's nothing like good company and a good drink. (Okay, maybe a terrible drink. But the company is good.) Friendship fic set between seasons 3 & 4.

Scar Stories (Iron Fist, Danny & Ward, 2500 wds)
There was an instant when Ward could have fed the car accident story to Danny. Danny would probably have believed him. If there was one thing he knew he was good at, it was lying to people who cared about him. Post-canon sibling bonding.


I continue to be thrilled with my gifts - hahaha, I DID NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY guess that sheron wrote my wonderful Iron Fist road trip gift, and snickfic gifted me delicious Carol/Yon-Rogg; everyone should read them. *__*

Two new stories for the last day of 2020! One is for the Torchwood secret santa exchange on Tumblr.
