( You have a whole beach to walk down together, after all. )

fic: the mechanics of a smile (kaylee; firefly; rating:pg13)

[noblealice.livejournal.com]

Title: The Mechanics of a Smile
Author: lily_268
Pairing: KAYLEE (Kaylee/Simon, Kaylee/OMC)
Rating: PG13
Summary: He began to split into someone new everyday until there weren't any letters left to label all the shades of Simon.
Spoilers: BDM
Word Count: 900
Author's Notes: I really hope I didn't go overboard with the accent. I've never written Kaylee before and I tried to sound it all out in my head and read it aloud, but I never know how much a reader wants of the voice to be left in and how much they can add on their own. Concrit is appreciated.

( His new cut-and-dry diagnoses grated on her skin and when they docked, there were matching scratches on the hull.  )

fic: justification (adam; heroes; rating:r)

Title: justification: or why ninety-three percent of the world deserves to die
Author: lily_268
Pairing/Character: ADAM MONROE (Adam/OCs)
Rating: R
Summary: Too bad he stopped believing in God centuries ago; around the time he witnessed a trusted friend and his lover embrace under falling petals.
Spoilers: to the end of S2 and using the graphic novel 'The Ten Brides of Takezo Kensei' so reading that might be a plus.
Word Count: 5,000
Author's Notes 1: I had to fudge timelines slightly to make this all fit and even then, it is an exhaustive task trying to write 400 frickin’ years of a character.
Author's Notes 2: Ideas expressed are of the character, not of the author. I was just trying to understand how Adam would want to kill almost everyone in the world and figured that 1) seeing a lot of disgusting things over four centuries would colour your view of humanity and 2) Social Darwinism would probably seem appealing to someone who was aware of a genetic mutation that privileged certain individuals over others. So, this is basically "immortality SUCKS" with a little dash of "humans suck" on the side. Enjoy!

( he discovers that some things are more painful than re-growing your spine: memories of a starving officer sharing his last can of rations, mementos of last words promised to relay to a wife, the silence just before the artillery guns start up or the simple feeling of being genuinely <i>scared</i> for the first time in decades. )

fic: honor thy mother and father (marian; robin hood; rating:pg13)

[noblealice.livejournal.com]

Title: Honor Thy Mother and Father
Author: lily_268
Pairing: MARIAN
Rating: PG13
Summary:She picks at the loose thread that's unraveling. Slowly, the stitches that hold together the leather encasing her fingers falls away, allowing the slightest of drafts.
Spoilers: set VERY pre-S1 (like, Marian's childhood to when she's a teenager, exploring what growing up without a mother was like in the Dark Ages)
Word Count: 2,000
Author's Notes: written for anythingbutgrey's birthday. Robin's a bit of a cheeky bastard here, he hasn't yet learned how to charm the ladies and this is un-beta'd, so it probably stinks. But I can't read it through another time or I will start seeing spots. Hope you like it!

(  She clutches it between her fingers when she's scared and spends whole afternoons tracing the outline of the Holy Mother, hoping that this somehow made the serene-looking woman her mother too. )
