Summary: As cadets at the Space Academy, Arris Gyreth, an all-too-noble Alpha Prime, had regularly helped Dezko Corrick, a scrappy Omega from the Confederation, through his heats.

Twenty-three years later, to end a long war, Arris Gyreth, now Lord Commander of the Imperium, demands Fleet Admiral Dezko Corrick's hand in marriage. Dez must also explicitly declare that any offspring of the marriage will be subject to the laws of the Imperium.

Dez is very confused, to say the least.

Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None
Word Count: ~1000
Summary: Eobard Thawne, in the guise of crippled scientist Harrison Wells, obsesses over both the Flash and Barry Allen. He loves and loathes them both in equal measure.

Author's Notes: Written for Day 9 of the 2017 Edition of Merry Month of Masturbation, for the prompt "Discovery". This story is sparked by discussions with spaceoperetta on Tumblr about whether or not (and definitely NOT) that the Flash that EoWells hated was actually Barry-Savitar, and that sort got all messed up with another conversation with my enabler-in-chief, kyele, about EoWells hating the Flash, but loving Barry Allen.

Title from the Annie Lennox song of the same name.

Summary: Part Three of Deadmarked. Eobard Thawne, now a resident of Central City, is masquerading as Harrison Wells - founder and CEO of S.T.A.R. Labs. Tonight, the Particle Accelerator goes on line and if everything goes as planned, there will be a small accident, one that releases x-elements into the atmosphere. Elements that will trigger the mutation that creates soul marks.

But Eobard has one tiny problem. His mark, which has been dead for centuries, is now glowing with life.

Author's Notes: Written for Day 3 of the 2017 Edition of Merry Month of Masturbation, for the prompt "Future". As with all of the Deadmarked series, it's inspired by kyele, who wanted some achy EoBarry soulmate fic.

Summary: Eobard likes taking trains, although he doesn't particularly enjoy when they get stalled by unexpected snowstorms – but he makes the best of it. Nor does he enjoy having some quiet time interrupted by the appearance of an old fling. No-powers A/U

A/N: Written for @timeforalongstory (kyele on AO3), who was having a particularly bad day. I asked her for a random number, and she gave me "23", which was "Meeting on a train a/u" on the list of prompts for a short fic meme.

__________________

Summary: Part Two of The Seduction of Barry Allen. Harrison Wells is having a very bad day, and takes his anger out on Caitlin, Cisco and Barry. But Barry – being Barry – isn't the type to give up on a friend. Until he has no choice.

Author’s Notes: I still haven't finished watching Season One – so there are probably more than a few inaccuracies in canon. See end notes for an explanation for one very story-spoilery canon inaccuracy.

To my White Collar friends who might be intrigued, this pairing presses all of my Neal/Adler buttons big time. A quick primer on Barry and Harrison can be found here.

Summary: Peter Burke, a young FBI agent, meets June and Byron Ellington during an investigation of a series of mortgage fraud cases. They take him under their wing and become his surrogate family. During his first visit to the Ellington mansion, he sees a magnificent portrait of a young man and becomes captivated. June and Byron invite him to spend Christmas Eve with them, and he begins to notice something wonderful about the portrait. For a little while, it comes to life. For almost twenty-five years, Peter spends Christmas Eve with the Ellingtons, and each year, he grows closer to the man in the portrait.

A/N: Inspired by kanarek13's artwork – or more accurately, the concept that Kanarek told me about, which set my brain whirring. I had the basic idea of this story plotted out before she finished the piece. I'm only sorry it's taken longer than I'd planned to finish it.

Beta Credit: sinfulslasher, who, once again, was absolutely heroic in her work on this epic. Also, deepest thanks to my good friends and constant cheerleaders, theatregirl7299 and miri_thompson, whose endless encouragement helped me every step of the way.

Summary: An alternate universe partially based on the characters and location in "Upper West Side Story", but with a twist - of the "Victor/Victoria" kind. Neal Caffrey teaches European History, but has an interesting and potentially career-damaging gig at his godmother's nightclub. Enter Peter Burke, talent agent and an old friend of June's, who plays the fairy godmother role to the hilt.

Author’s Note: My deepest thanks to my artist, kaylashay, for being so patient with me. Her artwork inspired me with what I thought was a simple idea, but nothing, lately, is ever simple. I had so much fun writing this, I hope it lives up to the beautiful art she created.

Author’s Note: Written for my dearest miri_thompson, who'd picked "What's Locked Behind the Glass" as her prompt for the ninth night of Fic-Can-Ukah.

Summary: Neal, a former employee of Vincent Adler – and the only person from Adler’s organization to serve jail time – has agreed to help the FBI find Adler, who disappeared more than five years ago. Peter, the case agent assigned to the Adler case, is worried about Neal’s safety and doesn’t trust the Marshals, so he’s keeping him close at hand. The attraction between the two men grows as they learn about each other and everything comes to a head when Neal finally shares a devastating secret.

A/N: Continues the story that began in Nothing Will Remain, the near-canon A/U, where Peter is an FBI agent assigned to locate Vincent Adler. He had discovered that a former employee of Adler’s, Neal Caffrey, is his ex-wife’s book keeper. Neal had been reluctant to assist the FBI, but eventually agrees to help them. This story picks up immediately after the prior story ends, but you don’t have to read that story to understand what’s going on here.

Summary: A near-canon A/U, where Neal Caffrey isn’t a forger and thief, but young Wall Street wizard who legitimately worked for Vincent Adler. He’s just out of prison, having served four years for investment fraud. He finds a job as a bookkeeper for Elizabeth Burke, Peter Burke’s ex-wife. Elizabeth and Peter have remained on excellent terms, and El wants to set Neal up on a blind date with him. But that’s not going to work as Neal’s past and Peter’s caseload collide.

Author’s Note: Written for my sweet friend sinfulslasher for Day Four of my 2013 Fic-Can-Ukah meme, for the prompt “I Was Meant to Be Someone Else”. She said “writer’s choice, but I love me some Neal angst.”

I should also note that Fic-Can-Ukah stories are meant to be short. In the original prompting post, I even said 300-500 words, knowing full well that most of these would be between 1000 and 3000 words. I was brainstorming with my enabler in chief, theatregirl7299, and she suggested that Peter and Neal are set up on blind dates with other people, but end up falling for each other. I didn’t think it quite met the prompt, but I loved the blind date idea. Next thing I knew, I had the makings of a massive fic on my hands. Seriously, if I didn’t have all the other fic-can-ukah stories left to write, this might just have ended up at 100k.

Title comes from the Oysterband song, “Someone You Might Have Been.”
