The Color of Your Mind by SerpentCountess for Lurafita, LeviathanBlue
Fandoms: The Walking Dead (TV)
07 Aug 2022
Tags
Summary
For Rick Grimes, the world always felt black and white. Even after he met his soulmate --- the woman he made Lori Grimes --- the explosion of color he expected never really came to pass. Instead, he built a (generally) happy life with a (mostly) loving wife.
And then his life changed with a single gunshot, with a stain of a red he couldn't see spreading across his chest, and with a series of mysterious visions flitting before him as he lies, unconscious, in the hospital.
(An AU inspired by prompts from Lurafita and LeviathanBlue)

Battle of the Brains by SerpentCountess for LeviathanBlue
Fandoms: The Walking Dead (TV), Doctor Who (2005)
12 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
Ever since meeting Milton Mamet for the first time, Glenn had found himself watching the man’s eyes. That sounded creepy and weird --- especially since, to be honest, he couldn’t even tell you what they looked like beyond “greenish” --- but there was a reasonable explanation.
He was pretty sure the man was a robot.

20 Oct 2021
Tags
Summary
Jacob's life had always been simple. Empty, yes, but simple. It was easy to fall into, easy to maintain. There was no thought involved in repeating pre-scripted lines, spitting out time-worn banter.
And then he met Hannah and his life changed completely.

Buried in the Past by SerpentCountess for typicalopposite
Fandoms: Supernatural (TV 2005)
18 Dec 2021
Tags
Summary
"Dirt. The sound of a shovel moving through the ground, of soil dancing across the surface of rough-hewn wood. Ever-increasing darkness, slowly crescendoing until the light was completely gone."
In Lazarus Rising, Dean drags himself out of that coffin with frightening know-how and efficiency. My explanation for how/why he knew what he was doing.
(Inspired by a prompt from SoooMyNamesRebecca)

Summary
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:37
In the small town of Lawrence, Kansas, the primary source of entertainment is gossip. So, when the Winchesters move to town and the elder of the two boys starts causing trouble, what are the townspeople supposed to do except talk about Dean Winchester?
(A triptych told from three different perspectives, inspired by a prompt from Umbreon/the ProfoundBond Discord Server)

Summary
It started at graduation.
When Jonathan notices something in the background of one of the photos they've taken --- a blur of *something* just barely visible behind them all as they clustered together for a group shot --- he isn't quite sure what he's looking at. He's heard of spirit photography, of course, but it takes a moment to register all the signs that, yes, for some reason, he can see Eddie Munson running away from the camera even though Jonathan's absolutely *certain* he wasn't there when the photo was taken.
Something's going on.
(A fic at the exact junction between the film Shutter, the show Doctor Who, and the show Stranger Things, inspired by SoooMyNamesRebecca. Will be vaguely Steddie in nature as a result)

Wait For Me (I'm Coming) by SerpentCountess for typicalopposite
Fandoms: Supernatural (TV 2005)
09 May 2023
Tags
Summary
Stories are, generally speaking, supposed to end happily. And, now that Chuck was gone and Billie was dead, it was the perfect time to develop said happy ending. Sam's happy with Eileen, Jack's the new God, and Cas is... Cas is alive. He's not happy, though. He's distant. Worried. Like he doesn't want to be happy. But that doesn't make sense, right? Dean's just making it up. Or something.
That is, until it became abundantly clear that, no, actually, he wasn't making it up, as Cas says one simple, devastating statement. “I have to die. And you have to kill me.”
(Fic outline by typicalopposite, so... blame her for the plot, blame me for the writing!)

Summary
Dean gets Cas out of the Empty, but something goes wrong; not *all* of Cas gets out of the Empty. Instead, he’s left with little recollection of the past and a near inability to produce new memories of the future. Angst ensues.

Summary
The sight of dead Musketeers was never an easy one.
(aka a ficlet inspired by the painful parallels between what happened to Cornet and company in episode 1 and what happened at Savoy in episode 4, plus some borderline codependency on behalf of the Inseparables. Can be perceived as Portamis if you squint.)

Summary
Porthos needed a drink.
Well, probably multiple, eventually, but one was a good place to start. And, given the events of the past few days, it might be a good place to stop too; the urge to settle his nerves was strong, but the desire to keep a firmer-than-usual grip on reality was stronger.
(aka a ficlet inspired by the painful parallels between Athos' false arrest in episode 1 and Porthos' false arrest in episode 5, because, as much as I love Porthos and Aramis, it's Athos who best understands the imprisonment side of the episode)

Summary
When Curt's first mission back from leave goes just slightly awry, Cynthia leaves him with no choice but to fake his own death and stake out the funeral to deal with the consequences. With one dead man walking in attendance, it's not surprising that there might be a second lingering at the back of the crowd.
