Fic I wrote for AU Exchange (and other recent exchanges)
I love AU-Ex. It's one of my favorites of the seasonal exchange cycle. I wrote:
Math and Poetry and Gunmanship (Punisher, 6100 words, Frank & Leo)
Basically True Grit with Frank and Leo in a post-apocalyptic wilderness. Leo hires Frank to help her find her missing parents; they each learn a little from each other.
Runaways (Iron Fist, 5300 wds, mostly Danny & Ward with some Joy)
For a request for an ageswap AU in which Danny is the oldest of the Rand-Meachum kids. It's actually kind of amazing how much this changes, once I started thinking through how the characters' personalities interact with birth order and parental expectation; Danny is more responsible, Ward is brattier, and all in all it's just a really fascinating dynamic to play with.
Only as Old as You Feel (Stranger Things, 1500 wds, mostly Robin & Nancy + the ensemble)
For the requested tag (nominated by me) "Weird Adventures While Living Together In A Retirement Home AU". Instead of Hawkins the town, it's Hawkins Care Home, in which residents mysteriously go missing and geriatric sleuth Nancy is dragging her reluctant roommate Robin along to find out why.
A Zailor in the Making (Guardians of the Galaxy/Fallen London, 2100 words, Peter + team)
For a request for a Fallen London/GotG fusion. In which Peter has landed himself in disgraced exile in the Tomb-Colonies, because of course he has, but don't worry, Zee-Captain Gamora is here to, er, not rescue him. Probably.
And for other recent exchanges:
The Old Ones Wait (Doctor Strange with references to several other fandoms, 2200 wds)
Treat written for Jump Scare, for the requested tag "Unusually high death rate in peaceful English village caused by eldritch monstrosity", because I couldn't help myself.
Dragon's Daughter (Iron Fist, 2000 words, Danny & Davos)
A pinch hit for Rule 63 Exchange, in which Danny is Danielle, and it changes everything and nothing.
