And this time, she was not coming home."News of a shipwreck reaches Ketterdam.

The Forrest The Sky

by TriCypher

Tsu'tey didn't deserve to die, so in this universe, he doesn't. He falls out of the plane but the bullet only skimmed his arm. On the ground, he finds a human that he can't help but be drawn to. This is a prequel to my main story, The Sea & The Forrest. I just wanted to see Tsu'tey, Neytiri, and Jake remain a trio, and for Tsu'tey to get his happy ending.

Cavier and Meths

by wordsphoenix

Crowley talked about London, he realized, like one of the ancient cities he’d been fond of but didn’t think of as his any longer.“Gorgeous plants,” Tom, that was his name, had held off admirably long before mentioning it. “Looking for a place to keep them?”“Well, I was going to move back into my flat in London, but I didn’t- I don’t know.” The fog was bad. Last time Crowley had drunk it away, and then his angel had come back and he’d got sober again and there were plenty of things more important than fog. Now there was so little else. “Perhaps I’ll stay here for a while.”Title from a Judas Priest song that feels like this fic feels to me.
