  1. Summary

    Some members of the cast grabbed me by the throat, okay. Robert’s everyman swag got to me.

    That and the fact he's like if Comic Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Batman were thrown together and then promptly got their asses kicked into the Worm universe with no goddamn money. And I got a couple ideas.

    If the ideas seem weird, sue me. I'm used to being in fandoms left without new content for so long we've started growing a mold culture. Each work should be considered as unrelated to each other, unless I make clear it's otherwise.

    All my works in the Dispatch fandom will be posted to this series, so if you're only interested in dispatch, subscribe here, not my user.

    Summary

    Liu Qingge screws up his beautiful face and, with the grace of a child dared to touch a particularly slimy newt, lurches forward to lift the red door’s heavy knocker. He raps it twice, then scurries back to take cover behind Shen Qingqiu’s arm.

    Shen Qingqiu stares. First at Liu Qingge, then at the bird overhead.

    “Are you unwell, shidi?” He asks.

    “You said you’d defend my honor,” Liu Qingge says.

    “Against what?

    (Liu Qingge is called back home to his family estate to meet a suitor and get married; he doesn't want to go and the sect can't afford to lose him, so Yue Qingyuan comes up with a plan to convince the Liu family that Liu Qingge is lost beyond all hopes of saving. Shen Qingqiu volunteers to play the role of Liu Qingge's despicable fiance without a thought as to what might happen when the jig is up.)

    Summary

    The roots of the sky grazer—Genesis—were swollen, the inner tissue inflamed, and the outer shell riddled with fissures. Genesis’s husk had tenrilated suddenly; even the old rooting filaments looked wind-burned and raw. It had begun to open, tearing itself away from the soft ground researchers had made for it. There is a knot at the base that it's revealing. A long, oblong shape in the soil. It doesn’t sound hollow; it has a dense, living rhythm. The innards whoosh and creak wetly and gurgle. There's a steady thumping from the center; it seems to be pushing the fluid within its innermost shell… There's fluid buildup from one quadrant. Enough of it that the pressure of the assumed rupture is causing distressed sounds to reverberate underfoot.

     

    Erid has found a tree in space. They don't know what it is, but they're too curious not to study this anomaly. One day, though this has been a long, mostly unseen process, the tree bears a single fruit. Not from its braches, but from under its roots.
    Simon is in the iron lung; something is tearing its way inside.

    Summary

    Grace has never been a more prolific scientist than he is right now on the way to Erid, which should, objectively, fill him with joy. Instead, there's this carnal emptiness growing unabated in his chest—TBD on whether or not this kills him before eating nothing but taumoeba does.

    Summary

    Eridians know about sex,” he begins, and I stifle myself before I can say I’ll bet you do because I know he’s trying to go somewhere with this. “But gender, it is more difficult. Erid not have social equivalent, language not have equivalent. We use same pronoun for everything, even not-Eridian things and not-alive things. You say humans, they are bothered by the wrong pronoun; you will be upset that we do not use for you a male pronoun, question?

    I furrow my brow and grin in disbelief. “Rock, no, that’s quite literally the least of my worries right now.”

    Summary

    Based on the tumblr tag 'tfp the kids aren't alright'.

    Jack wants to fly, wants to get the magical burning under his skin to stop, wants to prove himself before he comes of age and the Janus Order decides he's not useful enough to keep alive.

    Raf wants to be human, wants to stop hurting and itching in his own skin, wants to just explore science and technology in peace without wondering who may kill him today.

    Miko wants to never be human again, wants to tear the beating human heart out of her chest, wants to be good enough that nobody will even think about challenging her right to live.

    All three kids want a lot of things and as changelings, they're used to not getting them.

    But none of them were quite expecting the Autobots.
