TITLE: Bradbury Station, Ch. 1 SUMMARY: Free at last. CHARACTERS: Wilson, House RATING: R for language and themes (gen fic). WARNINGS: This is a very alternate universe. Adult themes and adult language. NOTES: Picking up where we left off after their escape from Cierros with the assistance of that fellow who said he was an Alchemist, and who insisted upon the return of the device House used to rescue Wilson. Here's the Big Post of all chapter links so far. This story is totally unrelated to Aftershocks.
Title: Malapart Characters: Chase, OCs Summary: His whole life is gone in moments. Warnings: YES. Violence, off-screen sexual assault.

We are updating our First Readers list -- this is our loose handful of drive-by betas who screen-test this stuff before it goes live, and thus save us from falling on our faces.
If you got a notice that "black_cigarette has removed you from their friends list," it means you were a First Reader, and we've just taken you off that roster due to your having moved on from the fandom. If you got that notice and you'd like to stay, let us know. Or if you've been a First Reader and would like to be removed from that list, we'll do that too.
This post is public, but the vast majority of our readers won't see any change, because you never saw our final draft posts anyway. This First-Readers update only affects about a dozen people who have access to our almost-finished drafts, for critique purposes.
Everyone who's still around, we're happy to have you all. <3
Guys, we are so sorry to announce that due to the Real World illness of one of our members, the Distress Call installment that was forecast for this summer/fall has been delayed. Please be assured that it has not been forgotten, it is an ongoing effort, and it will absolutely be back.
This was not an easy decision, but we do not want to disappoint readers with an arc that takes shortcuts, or was not our best possible effort.
Again, our most sincere apologies for the interruption, but we will return.
Title: The Cierros Transgression -- "Pentimento" Summary: Sometimes a one-way street is the only way out. Characters: Two OCs Rating: R for language and themes (gen fic). Warnings: This is a very alternate universe. Adult themes and adult language. Spoilers: No. Disclaimer: Don't own 'em. Never will. NOTES: This is a bonus chapter for The Cierros Transgression.
