  5. Summary

    This is based on a non-human!Edgin AU started by stele3 and joined by handwrittenhello and musicdefinesusall. FTR, if anyone else wants to play in the sandbox, feel free!

    Tasty Morsels by stele3 is the first fic, told from Holga's POV.

    in the mouth of the devil by handwrittenhello branches off from Chapter 4 of Tasty Morsels and imagines what might have happened if Xenk took more...drastic actions.

    Binding Mistakes by musicdefinesusall also branches off and plays with binding spells!

    Different Hungers by stele3 is a direct sequel to Tasty Morsels and does not follow the canon of Binding Mistakes or in the mouth of the devil.

    Summary

    James’s mother thought that one should never get attached to anything alive—including one’s own children—as you might one day have to kill and eat it. James’s mother thought that God was real but possibly a bit of a dick. James’s mother thought that the Moriartys would live and die poor, on and on, forever.

    The last of these was the most important—and the most true—of the three.

    Summary

    He drew in a breath to say more, although he wasn’t certain what it was that would’ve come out of his mouth. Instead, he loosed a shuddering sigh as Sherlock nuzzled behind the hinge of his jaw and clutched him more tightly against his chest. He deflated like a set of bellows, in truth, slumping back into Sherlock’s arms. James was tired, and as much as the fury was still boiling away inside of him, he didn’t have the energy left to let any more of it out than he already had done. Not just yet, anyhow.

     

    (Or: Five times someone tried to make James feel like Appleton could/should be his home + One time he actually started to believe it was possible.)

    Summary

    Inktober Day 1: Apples

    The smile Sherlock returns to her is not polite, or friendly. It is barely even a smile; that expression still seems beyond him. It’s more of a twitch of the mouth, a lightening of his eyes, that suggests he is also considering hitting her with an apple with great force. It’s not protective or scolding, the way he infuriatingly defaults to when speaking with her; in fact, it seems to sidestep his normal moral agonizing into something a little bit mean. It is the smile of an equal spoiling for a fight.

    It is, in short, a brother’s smile.

    As a chapter closes, the Holmes siblings do something they have not done since they were children: They play.

    Summary

    “What are you doing?”
    Eurydice glances over her shoulder to see an impassive Hades. “Making your life more difficult,” she says, moving from the mortar mixer to the portable generator. When the pickaxe rips through the metal, it sends up a gratifying shower of sparks.
    “Why?” he asks.
    Eurydice swings again. “Why do you think?”

    — — —

    Facing down an eternity of labor in Hadestown with nothing left to lose, Eurydice grabs a pickaxe and starts breaking Hades’ machines. It doesn't seem to change anything, but it makes her feel better—at least, until she wakes up on the train to Hadestown, starting the cycle all over again.
