Title: R&R Stands for Revelations and Reactions
Fandom: Mass Effect
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Male Shepard/Kaidan Alenko
Disclaimer: I don't own them, I write for fun, not profit!
Notes: Usually I reread and rewrite my stories obsessively before posting. This? I pretty much wrote in one go when way too tired, then checked for typos and semblance of sense the next day...;) I think the characters get more OOC the closer it gets to dawn but hey, it's all in the name of humour? Last chapters written the next night, and boy, can you see where I took a break to get some sleep...

Sequel to Let Your Mercy Spill

As per my new motto, I'm blaming shiny_glor_chan for this;)

Shepard feels it was all planned to get him to talk about his private life but in the end can't argue with the results.
Notes: Horribly self-indulgent fic! Inspired partly by all the romance options in the final game.

( In the interest of teaching human culture to our alien crew mates, we are now playing a game called 'Never Have I Ever' )

Thanks to Sila for yet more Dutchisms! Source reading at the end of the this chapter. Thanks to Mr Niki (he chose the name;) for random historical data. Oh, and to my mom for the suggestion for the location of the treasure.

( Fitting Ornaments for Heroes )

(No, there will not be a sequel. Really.)

I suck. I suckety suckety suck. So, jedibuttercup, I am one year and a month late. But it's here. The story is finally finished. (Blame Riley for clamming up on me for a few years. And then he wouldn't stop babbling...) I fear the seams show quite clearly on the new bit but, well. It's here:) Now all that remains is posting the final chapters.

Title: From the Cold and Frost 4/6: Finland; “This Cold and Cruel Country”

Title: The Key that Opens is the Key that Rusts
Writer: Niki
Fandom: Lewis
Disclaimer: Colin Dexter and ITV own the actual characters; Aisha, Clem and Gleed belong to my subconscious mind; the rest are my fault.
Characters: Lewis, Hathaway, Hobson, Innocent, original characters (pre-slash Lewis/Hathaway if you have your slash goggles on)
Genre: Case fic
Rating: NC-17 for the subject matter
Beta: lygtemanden (Contestant for the Fastest Beta Ever award!)
Warnings: Contains non-graphic references to rape and murder of children.
Wordcount: 8571
Notes: I had been looking for a story that could link Morse and Lewis, maybe a case spanning decades. Then I had a dream, which was this story, and it was coherent and made sense even after waking up! I couldn't wait to write it down. It honestly took me hours to realise how grisly and horrible the whole thing was and to think about what a messed up thing it was to dream about.

In the end, I didn't want to write a story about Morse failing to solve a case so it ended up having less and less to do with him.

My entry for lewis_challenge
Summary: A case that Morse and Lewis never actually worked on resurfaces, and Lewis and Hathaway must solve it

Title: Lacerations
Writer: Niki
Fandom: Lewis
Disclaimer: I am not Colin Dexter nor am I in any way affiliated with ITV, I write for fun, not profit.
Rating: PG (for passing suicidal thoughts)
Spoilers: to Life Born of Fire
hc_bingo Prompt: Lacerations & knife wounds
Notes: Part to of a series of fics with a working title, "Hurt/Comfort Sequence", works perfectly well on its own. In the context of the series this is pre-slash, but on its own it can be read as gen.
Summary: They both carried marks after the fire but while his was a sign of his own failure, his boss's hands bore the marks of a hero.

( He carried it like a brand. )

Title: Flying
Writer: Niki
Fandom: Banlieue 13
Medium: Fic
Rating: G
Genre: gen
schmoop_bingo prompt: friendship
Summary: They are flying over the rooftops of Paris.
