The Laird Of Rosyth

by SomnolentPavana

Some say the former island is home to a ghost. The spirit of owner Laird John MacTavish is claimed to be seen on moonless nights, pacing what was once the waterfront, calling out for a ‘Simone’. Many speculate Simone to be a former lover of the man, who died tragically young, since Laird MacTavish never married.   After his death, possession of Rosyth Castle passed to the Admiralty and it fell into disrepair. Upon closure of Rosyth dockyard, the castle and its lands were sold to...   Rosyth Castle Distillery visitors guide c.2021

Schism

by midnighteverlark

Elphaba casts one last desperate spell in the tallest tower of Emerald City, determined to defy her fate, and the timeline shatters into pieces. After Ch 1, each chapter will showcase one timeline - one way things could have gone differently.Glinda gets on the broom.Elphaba lets Glinda take her back to the Wizard to apologize - because everyone knows the best way to take down a tower is from the inside.The hot air balloon makes it out.Glinda convinces Elphaba to marry her for diplomatic immunity and takes her back to the Upland estate for safety.Hey, I didn't say every AU would be equal in seriousness. ;)Each chapter will act as a one-shot of its AU, but knowing me I'll likely make some their own fics later.I'm also a Gelphie shipper gay-married to a Gelphie shipper, so. Expect Gelphie. :)

Holding Out For A Hero

by baeowyn

The door had barely opened when Geralt froze in his tracks, one hand stuck on the handle and the other already reaching up to cover his ears. Well, ear. Even a single one would do. “It’s karaoke night. Let’s go elsewhere.” He could barely hear himself over the cacophony of cheers, boos, general chatter and dulcet tones of whoever was absolutely slaughtering Queen right now, but his brothers were typically unsympathetic. “Geralt, we just got here. Let’s at least have one drink.” “Karaoke? Fuck yeah, we’re staying.” Geralt ends up at a karaoke night against his will, where a certain 'Julek' is used to bringing the house down. Perhaps they both get more than they bargained for...

Taking the Plunge

by phenanthrene_blue

“While I was waiting, I went up to Containment and pulled that report you requested. RS-353598.”“Thanks. That’s the one – man, it’s got to be long-declassified by now.”“Yes, and you’ll never believe this.” Emily taps the stack of papers against the edge of the table; her face has the same devious expression that she gets when she’s about to divulge a juicy rumor. “I took a look at it, and…did you know there might be an Altered toilet plunger somewhere in a secret closet in Maintenance?”

In Which Curiosity Kills

by phenanthrene_blue

Jesse startles, quickly pulls off the cat ears, and tosses them back into the bin. “Oh, just found them down in the Foundation with the rest of the weird old junk. You know, old broken instruments and stuff. Someone left a bunch of those lucky cat statues down there, too. It’s probably all just trash from the Collapsed Department.”Emily raises an eyebrow skeptically.“Hey, I thought they were kind of cute, so they went into my fall bin.”Before Emily can protest with her typical, Head-of-Research caution, Jesse continues. “And yes, before you ask, I am one-hundred percent sure that they are definitely not Altered.”
