(Further) Adventures in Engineering: Welcome to the Jungle by Icarus_Isambard
Fandoms: Guild Wars 2 (Video Game)

Summary
When the jungle dragon brings down the entire Tyrian fleet, Pact Engineer Von Ffeldy can't catch a break. With his weapons lost, his toolkit scattered through the foliage, and a mordrem vine choking the breath out of him, rescue should come as a relief. But Ffeldy can never tell if the sarcastic sylvari is joking or not, and to what extent the Commander wants to use him to her own ends...
Takes place four years after the events in "The Engineer and the Ingénu" (part 1), but you can start here if you like.
Oops, it's technically Gen, but I teased a romance in Chapter 5 and...I kinda like it. Let's see where this goes, shall we? How can things possibly not go horribly awry?

Summary
Morrigan has always had a barbed tongue, but her dismissal of Alistair's cooking (culinary arts elective, templar school, long story) hurts worse than a darkspawn bite. When Alistair turns up the heat, he gets much more than he bargained for.

The Courgettes of Incorrigibility by Icarus_Isambard, Motchi
Fandoms: Kuroshitsuji | Black Butler, Final Fantasy VII

Summary
Sworn to defend the Phantomhive manor against all enemies (animal, mineral, and yes, vegetable) Chef Baldroy vows to torch the neighborhood blighter who keeps leaving piles of zucchini on the doorstep. But when a flamethrower ambush leads to an unexpected conflagration of the heart, Bard just might learn that “summer fling” doesn’t have to involve unwanted produce.
It's the Kuroshitsuji/FFVII crossover no one wanted, and no one asked for, but here it is regardless. Try it. Tastes better than zoodles, anyway.

Where There's a Whale There's a Way: or, How to Kiss a Harpooneer in Ten Leagues by Icarus_Isambard for Sunchales
Fandoms: Moby Dick - Herman Melville

Summary
When Ishmael angsts over never having kissed his bosom friend Queequeg, the crew of the Pequod rally around his increasingly desperate efforts, serving up a cavalcade of romcom clichés in their misguided attempts to find Ishmael his happily ever after. They’re serious about putting romcom back into Romanticism—and if there ain’t no extravagant musical number sung in the shadow of a breaching whale, then by Neptune it ain’t love.

Summary
An ace airship captain is immune to the flying sirens that captivate the rest of her crew with song. Or is she?
Chapter 1 of this story was originally written for a prompt on r/asexuality (how could clever sirens lure asexual pirates to their doom?). It was the work of only a few hours, and so I'd intended to go back and shore up/expand the material. Well, I just did. Chapter 2 is called "Nay, Calypso" and you can probably guess the premise from that.
