Summary
He knelt beside the body of his sister and knew there was no one he could keep safe. When they chose to strip Benais-arik of life, the hostages of the Summer Court would be no longer needed and would be devoured alongside. Any futile resistance before that point would end at swordpoint and the distant cruelty of the expositors. But even here, as levers of compliance for his people, they were not safe. They had not even meant to kill her; only to toy with her like a child with a captured insect, petty cruelty and ignorance.

A short Bashasa POV from his moment of decision & first meeting with Kai-Enna, because Witch King deserves some fics.

Summary
But he wasn’t in the Dreaming here. He was pinned to the incremental march of seconds upon seconds upon seconds that made up minutes and days and years. He was stranded in a form severed from the Dreaming. Like soil run through a sieve, the damned circle had held back the greater part of himself. He ached for it, for a form where he could simply choose not to feel the cold sinking into his bones, or the swimming haziness of air used up, or the hunger sweetly gnawing on the core of him.
--
The same capture & rescue fic everyone has written, but playing off two ideas:
- I wanted to see Dream’s physical recovery take long enough that he could begin his mental/emotional recovery before heading back to the Dreaming
- There’s a lot of ways to hurt an anthropomorphic entity without taking them out of their snowglobe -

Summary
Patrick Wilkinson watched the newest Hitchcock flick with his mates last night. What a stupid idea, birds going crazy and murdering people. So unrealistic you couldn't even really be scared of it. Pat certainly wasn't.
It's just that his job was keeping watch in a creepy cellar of a manor house, making sure a malevolent person-shaped thing didn't escape. That tended to make a person a bit jumpy.

Summary
For everyone who got to the end of this movie and heard Battinson monologuing about he'd be back out the next night to continue to fight crime, and went "uhh, not so sure about that buddy."

Summary
Ratchet leaves the Lost Light to find Drift. They return together during Dying of the Light, with much changed between them.
The miniseries Empire of Stone tells one possible story of how they reunited. This is a different possibility...full of all the things I wanted and EoS didn't give me: romance, character continuity and a grand sci-fi journey home constantly waylaid by adventure.
Series
- Part 3 of Drifting Together

Summary
Dratchet slow burn with a big helping of character study. I'm playing between and around the scenes of canon and filling in backstory as I go.
The first two stories are pretty romance ambivalent; you could read them as deeply emotionally invested Drift&Ratchet bromance instead of pre-slash if that's what you're into.

Summary
A timeline of events for the Sandman as they unfold on the Netflix show, with some help from the comics. Applies to the first season, with no spoilers for things that have not yet been adapted from the comics to the screen. Meant to be used as a resource for fanworks, or just for people who enjoy these types of things as much as I do.

Summary
Foggy finds the light switch, flicks it on and turns back around, to study his potential client more closely. He sees a man in black, one sleeve of the long-sleeved top ripped and bound roughly with a bandage. He looks fit, and weary, and his eyes are unfocused and directed roughly over Foggy’s left shoulder.
Foggy Nelson is successful, happy and comfortably ensconced in a good job - so why has he agreed to defend a blind vigilante he doesn't even know?
