Title: Death and Desire
Fandom: Nicoverse
Characters: Gabriel â™…, Michael â™…
Rating: T (L0 N0 S0 V2 D0)
Warnings: War, death, holy vengeance, ethics of a damaged archangel
Notes: In about 701 BC, an Assyrian army led by Sennacherib sacked forty-odd cities in Judah and laid siege to Jerusalem. Assyrian records report the successful sack of every city besieged, except Jerusalem. Although they also do not report defeat there, those records are kingly propaganda, so all bets are off. The story goes that Hezekiah, King of Judah, prayed in the Temple of Jerusalem, for deliverance, and as the first king in two and a half centuries to do so, his prayer was rewarded, and 185,000 Assyrian soldiers died outside the walls. This is variously attributed to Michael, Gabriel, or the onset of one of the usual siege camp diseases. I decided to go for all three. (I never thought I'd be writing Michael, but I suppose it had to happen, eventually…)

Title: The Changing Days
Fandom: N/A
Characters: Raven's daughters ♀
Rating: T (L2 N1 S0 V0 D0)
Warnings: Bizarre cultural stereotypes, goddesses acting like birds
Notes: So, first off, this has been an exercise in choppy style. They're birds. They're like that. But, don't think they're bird-brained! The sisters are goddesses, after all, for all that they're thieving, corpse-eating tricksters. It's also really difficult to write a lengthy conversation between five characters who don't have names and can shapeshift. Not the best I've ever written them. More of an experiment and a little backstory.

Title: Blessings of Drunkenness
Fandom: Nicoverse
Characters: Nico ♂, Lucian ♂, Ometochtli ♂, Yin (Magdalene) ♀, Gabriel (mentioned) ♅, Raven's Daughters (mentioned) ♀
Rating: T (L2 N0 S0 V1 D1)
Warnings: Weird cultural stereotypes, bizarre interpretations of Mexica mythology, intentional cultural appropriation by trickster deities, vast quantities of alcohol, mentions of mythological violent death
Notes: Nico's doing a gig at a political event that suddenly spawns a neverending spring of booze, courtesy of the Mexica gods of drunken shenanigans. If you read a lot of my stuff, you'll recognise a couple of faces in the crowd, pretty early on. And, yes, Lucian has an accent that occasionally gets in his way.

Title: Struffoli With Your Sulk?
Fandom: Nicoverse
Characters: Lucian ♂, Gabriel ♅
Rating: T (L2 N0 S0 V1 D0)
Warnings: Gabriel doesn't have internal organs, but Luci, that's still disgusting. Also, the usual blasphemy, expletives, sibling rivalry, already-been-chewed pastry, more sugar than the Holy Father ever intended any one of his children to eat in a single sitting.
Notes: Love isn't always all it's cracked up to be. Also, why it's important to have friends who will come disrupt your sulking with their abject dickery in the wake of a truly necessary breakup.

Title: Annunciation
Fandom: Nicoverse
Characters: Octavia ♀, Gabriel ♅
Rating: T (L1 N0 S0 V1 D1)
Warnings: Blasphemy, blatant manipulation, threats of impending violence
Notes: Rating's a little higher than the numbers suggest, because the Holy Father is remarkably unpleasant, here, in completely canonical fashion. Gabi's got some issues with how the Holy Father goes about things, and tries to smooth things over, wherever possible, with the illusion of choice.

Title: In the Human Fashion
Fandom: Nicoverse
Characters: Lucian ♂, Gabriel â™…
Rating: T (L0 N2 S1 V0 D0)
Warnings:  Naked angels cuddling, passing hands through skin
Notes: Again with the 'this wasn't where I meant to go with this'. *shrugs* Something about 'affection in the human fashion' and 'I'm fairly certain humans have intestines, o radiant light of truth'.

Title: Holy Water, Holy Earth
Fandom: Nicoverse
Characters: Gabriel â™…, Nico ♂, The Magdalenes ♀, Father Peter ♂, Lucian ♂
Rating: T" width="32px" /> (L2 N2 S0 V0 D1)
Warnings: Blasphemy, naked archangel, horrified priest, way too much pastry
Notes: Lucian gets his ass handed to him (but you should see the other guy). Gabriel is left to clean up the mess. Yes, I will eventually write what actually happened between Michael and Lucian, but that doesn't really go here. Lucian's trying not to get too specific.

Title: Livening Up the Party
Fandom: Nicoverse
Characters: Nico ♂, Lucian ♂, Gabriel â™…
Rating:T" width="32px" /> (L1 N0  S2 V0 D1)
Warnings: Heavily-implied totally-alien eroticism. Nothing particularly recognisable as smut. Also, reaching through someone in a non-violent way.
Notes: I had no idea where this was going. I just started typing, and this happened, which is kind of how that's supposed to work. Nico and Luci decide to catch up with their other favourite angel, who is known for improving the party atmosphere, in … unexpected ways.

Fury and Retribution – Test

Title: Fury and Retribution – Test
Fandom: Ostian Adventures
Characters: Dahak ♂, Iblis ♂
Rating: T" width="32px" /> (L0 N1 S0 V2 D0)
Warnings: A half-naked barbarian demigod, covered in blood, swinging an axe.
Notes: My first OA post in like a billion years. I was considering having a nap and posting when I woke up, but then the sky cracked open like it was struck by the hammer of an angry god, so I got the fuck out of bed and finished what I was doing. The Lord of Frenzy and the Father of Retribution. Neither of whom I was ever arsed to depict, before this. I'm not real thrilled with how light Dahak's skin came out. He's supposed to be a non-metallic gold, and he just looks like a white dude with a tan. Might be the blood throwing off my perception of colour. No post, because I'm a lazy sod, and I don't do post on test shots. If you're only seeing one of them, it's Iblis. Click through for Dahak.
