how many will the heralds take (1599 words) by Anonymous

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Original Characters
Summary:

The rumor spread like wild-fire across the near-lying farmsteads. From there, it continued along the market roads to the villages, and from the villages onto the major roads and further on to the rest of the kingdom. It travelled from mouth to mouth, never written down but committed to memory.

A new Companion had been born.

It chilled me to the bone, and was twisted and creepy and gorgeous. I love the language in this one, particularly the children's rhymes of terror.

Fandom: Threadless T-shirt Designs
Rating: Mature
Warning: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Characters: Velma Dinkley, Scooby Doo
Summary:

The infestation gets worse and worse. They need to resupply, low on food and gas and bullets, and maybe find somewhere to sleep that's a little more comfortable than the back of the van, but every time they stop, every time it's quiet enough Velma feels relatively safe getting out of the van, they're ambushed.

Terrible and wonderful zombie apocalypse totally fitting the awesomeness of the t-shirt.

Rating: Mature
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Alanna/Jon
Characters: Alanna of Trebond, Jonathan of Conté
Summary:

It's funny, he thought later, how much the clothes became the person. How little you knew them, with something else on. It wasn't that he hadn't known by then that Alanna was a girl, but sometimes he could go whole days without thinking of it, and then it would come back in a rush, at some perfectly normal moment. That's Alanna; that's my squire there, pouring wine, and she's a girl. No one knows my squire's a girl.

Brilliant look at Alanna during her secret years.
