[opheliet.livejournal.com]

Title: Blood and Memories
Author: opheliet 
Fandom: The Hollows series
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: dark themes, violence, vampires (hey, I know some people have had it up to their ears with them, though these most assuredly don't sparkle), allusions to and results of an emotionally abusive/manipulative relationship
Prompt: 13) If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down, these women together ought to be able to turn it right side up again.--Sojourner Truth (1797 – November 26, 1883), African-American abolitionist, women's rights activist, advocate for prison reform, anti-capital punishment activist, lecturer and saint of the Episcopal Church.
Summary: Ivy can't tell which way is up anymore.
Author's Notes: First of all, massive, enormous, truck-full-of-cupcakes thanks to tearlit , my amazing, wonderful beta. Without her this would probably just be scrawlings on a napkin. Her magic beta brush is awesome, and any mistakes in here are most certainly mine. Love, thanks for everything ;)
The quote in the beginning is from the song Tightrope by Art of Chaos.
Also, many many thanks and cupcakes to gehayi  for running this amazing fest every year.
In case it's important to anyone, no spoilers for any of the books within.

Author: ctquill
Fandom: Robin Hood BBC
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Violence, death, language.
Prompt: #61: Nothing could be worse than the fear that one had given up too soon, and left one unexpended effort that might have saved the world. -- Jane Addams (1860-1935), founder of the settlement house movement in the United States. Laid the foundations for social work as it is now practiced. Her writings and speeches influenced the later shape of the United Nations. Second woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, and the first American woman to win it.
Summary:  Marian is presented with an opportunity, but the price may be too high. Set just after 2x11 and during 2x13.
Author's Notes: Expect historical inaccuracy. A huge thank you to jagnikjen and roh_wyn for beta reading. Any changes I've made that have messed this up are entirely my own fault. Thanks to the participants of the rewatch at roh_fics and to allthingsrobin's transcripts at Hoodwinked. I used both sites for reference. This version of Robin Hood belongs to Tiger Aspect and the BBC.

[magglenagall.livejournal.com]

Title: Chargée d'affaires
Author: magglenagall
Fandom: Vorkosigan saga
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: N/A
Prompt: 40) There seems to be a kind of order in the universe, in the movement of the stars and the turning of the earth and the changing of the seasons, and even in the cycle of human life. But human life itself is almost pure chaos. Everyone takes his stance, asserts his own rights and feelings, mistaking the motives of others, and his own. --Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980), Pulitzer-prize winning American author, journalist and political activist.
Summary: Missing moment from Diplomatic Immunity. With Miles and Bel in cryostasis, it's up to Ekaterin to prevent Barrayar and Cetaganda from going to war over the lost haut infants.
Author's Notes: Thanks to my beta-readers katieay and govcampbell.

DISCLAIMER: Lois McMaster Bujold owns the Vorkosigan universe and everything it encompasses. This is a work of fan fiction, and thus derives no profit or material benefit therefrom.

Book of Secrets (Djaq, Robin Hood BBC, PG13)

[roh-wyn.livejournal.com]

Title: Book of Secrets
Author: roh_wyn
Fandom: Robin Hood BBC
Rating: PG13
Warnings: Mild allusions to battlefield violence/death
Prompt: 2) Whatever fills the human mind with uncommon and honest delight is fitting for a human woman – Anna Maria von Schurman (1607–1678), 17th century Dutch scholar, poet, linguist and artist.
Summary: Djaq reads Lambert's ledger and reflects on her own life.
Author's Notes: Despite my best efforts at research, much of this is of questionable historical accuracy. Advance apologies for any mistakes with respect to (a) the cultural setting of this story, i.e. the Levant of the 12th century, and (b) transliteration of Arabic terms which I know only from friends and the internet. A huge thank you to wenrom31 for her amazing beta work and general cheerleading skills. Any errors are entirely mine. Robin Hood belongs to legend, Djaq belongs to Tiger Aspect and the BBC.
