Summary
Four hundred and some years after a three day nuclear war ended the world and a week after Nathaniel figures out how to jump through the alchemical borders which divide their lands, the Republic of Palmetto is the only thing standing in the way of Evermore’s goals of continental domination. Nathaniel’s a defector on the run, with no interest in helping the ragtag team of Fox soldiers who capture him as a Raven spy. Especially not the short blonde boy who looks at Nathaniel like a threat, and uses his alchemy to slash sand through the air like blades. But with rumors circling of an oncoming invasion that would end a decade of uneasy peace, he may not have a choice.
Or, a dystopia AU that’s more fantasy than sci-fi, and where Neil and Andrew get the chance to fight for what they believe in.

Summary
The next universe over, life has gone a bit different for Andrew. After college he’s gainfully employed as a nurse of all things, working beside his best friend Renee, and living in relative harmony with his brother, the recently graduated Dr. Aaron Minyard. Everything’s fine.
It’s fine that he hasn’t spoken to Kevin in person for three years. It’s fine if Aaron’s leaving him to marry his stupid doctor girlfriend.
It’s fine until the boy with the box-dyed hair stumbles into the ER and passes out at his feet, bringing a world of secrets and trouble with him.
And Neil? Neil’s looking for any port in a storm.

Summary
“In modern interpretations of ancient myths and folklore, the figures representing death tend to get a bad name. In Russian folklore however, the most common antagonist was not representative of death, but instead life. Koschei the Deathless, who traded his soul for immortality.
Booker hasn’t been particularly fond of Russia since his first untimely death there, but he thinks they got this one right.”
Or, Booker tries to master both literal and figurative empathy to become a better person, with some help from his friends and the sudden violent reappearance of Quynh.

Summary
Mac knows he won’t make it out of this latest abduction alive. Not with experimental chemicals being pumped into him in horrific doses.
The hallucination wearing Jack’s face—who claims he never died—has other ideas about that.
(Touch separated by inches is the greatest torture of all.)

Summary
"In as much as it is given to God, and God alone, to command such forces...all those found to control Abilities will be, in the least, imprisoned to stop the spread of their heresy...and at the most, released to the Divine Judgment of God. This shall be law wheresoever our Mother Church holds sway."

Summary
The Fox Intelligence Agency’s latest recruit, Neil Josten, is showing great promise. The only problem’s that he can’t stand one of the agency’s best agents — Andrew Minyard. And apparently, the feeling’s mutual.
When the feud between them almost costs the team a mission, Director Wymack decides that the best course of action would be to send the two on a bonding trip.
That is, he assigns them a top-secret infiltration mission, where the only way for them to survive would be to learn to cooperate.
A spy AU.
