Summary
“What did we say about being careful?” Cyphre repeated. He was very close to Harry now; up close, Harry could see that the yellow in his eyes did not really disappear, but instead lurked as a ring of gold around Cyphre’s irises, waiting to bleach across the brown. He smelled like woodsmoke and some deep, musky scent, and his breath when it ghosted across Harry’s face was sweet with ash.
“What the fuck do you want?” Harry breathed back, voice hitching slightly. “I don’t have anything to give you.”
“That’s not true,” Cyphre countered, the words bending around his smile. “A long time ago, you sold me your soul for a taste of that fame you humans always dream of. I’ve only come to collect.” Cyphre’s hand trailed up Harry’s shoulder until it clasped the nape of his neck; Harry flinched, but the hand stayed, stilling his retreat. “You may not remember our deal now, but you will in time. And I do believe you’ll be mine for a long time, Johnny.”

Summary
Bucky rubs the fuzz of sleep from his eyes again, trying desperately to remember who the hell has an eight year-old that would be wandering around at three a.m. in the morning. It takes a couple minutes of awkward staring, and the child shifting her stolen prize in her hands, but the name comes quickly and suddenly.

Summary
Some people say that ghosts aren’t really real— they just appear in places where time is a bit thin.
The first time Tony sees him, he’s sure that he’s hallucinating.

Summary
"I just wish things were different," Crowley says... and the universe happily obliges.
Stuck - perhaps forever - in a reality in which Shadwell is the first Wiccan MP, Pepper's only aspiration in life is to be a dutiful wife to someone, and his beloved Bentley is a rusty VW bus, Crowley is slowly learning that "different" doesn't necessarily mean better...
But how long can he bear to live* in a world where Aziraphale hates him?
*Not that he has any other option. The Death of this world can't see blood...

Summary
“We… found you out by Lake Franklin, on the rocks,” Goodsir began, halting. “Sprawled there, all but dying. Your body was shutting down. None of us knew who put you there or why you might have arrived. Dr McDonald and I have been working to stabilise you.”
“McDonald,” James repeated. Once more, his judgement of the situation veered toward his own afterlife - - McDonald had died during the Carnivale fire. “I - I died, then? This is - Hell, or Heaven, or some such afterlife?”
Goodsir stared at him.
“I don’t quite think so, sir,” he said. “As I said, this town - it’s for… er, unworldly things, I should suppose you might say. Things that might make men uncomfortable, should they know they roomed with us. It’s safer for us here, out of the way.”
or: Life after death is not a foreign concept to James - but he'd not been expecting this. Struck with the knowledge he's been placed into a different time, James finds himself unable to escape the Expedition in a new way - each face he meets in town is one he greeted on the ships in 1845, and some of them seem awfully interested in seeing history repeat itself.

Summary
J.A.M.E.S. “Fitzjames” is the result of a cutting-edge Admiralty-funded project, developed by Dr Gambier in the Jersey Android Mechanics and Engineering Studio. The only successful attempt at artificial intelligence, he has served in the Earth Navy for several years. He was injured in the line of duty and is the first artificial intelligence to receive a medal for his service.
Now that the war is over, the Navy has assigned James to the research vessel Erebus, about to undertake the exploration of an uncharted star system that promises access to precious lithium together with its sister ship Terror. These are the most technologically advanced ships of their day.
Complete, updates every Sunday.

Summary
He raised his head, opened his eyes.
There was a bear right in front of him -
James yelled again, jerking backward and lashing out with one hand - paw - as he did so. The bear snarled, throwing its head to one side to cover the new red lines on its snout; James, for his part, had fallen back into the shallows of the stream and ended up on his soggy furred arse.
Slowly, the bear turned to stare at him again. Pointedly, it let its other paw drop back to the ground - Lord, it really was so much larger than James - and leered.
But it didn't move to attack. No, it - it spoke.
"First day on the job?"
or: James gets cursed. What he doesn't expect is to meet a man - a bear? - dealing with exactly the same problem as he is.
