Trees With Garnet Leaves

by Meredith Bronwen Mallory (garnettrees) Rating: Mature Summary: Richie Tozier is a hitman with very little to his name: some foggy memories, two unusual scars, and a sincere but inexplicable aversion to clowns. With his ass in hock to The Shop, he goes where he's told and does what he's told, no questions asked. Certainly, he's killed an accidental witness or two in his time.

But he cannot even contemplate killing Eddie Kaspbrak, so the feral little Kewpie doll is just going to have to come with.

As someone a few universes over said: "The fun's just beginning."

Hang Fire (In My Heart) 1/?

by Meredith Bronwen Mallory (garnettrees) Rating: Mature Summary: Opening her mouth, still dry from bedtime medications, Sonia Kaspbrak draws in a breath. She's ready to lay it all on the stranger in the doorway, including a demand for the Oxy the nurses are so stingy with, when he preempts her with three preternaturally cheery words: "Hiya, Mrs. K."

In 1992, Richie Tozier made a deal and disappeared from Derry. Mrs. Kaspbrak promptly picked up her son and left the state. Seven years later, Richie needs to have a little… discussion with her about the fine print.

The Shadow Is The Measure

by Meredith Bronwen Mallory (garnettrees) Rating: Mature Summary: In a universe perhaps three standard deviations from Prime, a single highly secret ritual has survived Surak's Reform to subtly impact the galaxy, even down to Federation by-laws. When a young Spock discovers the most sacred of connections, all Winona Kirk knows is that the Vulcans want her son. No Kirk ever gives up without a fight, and the choices she is about to make will have a profound effect on that which is meant to be. 
Destiny is self-correcting, and will not be denied.

by Meredith Bronwen Mallory (garnettrees) Rating: Mature Summary: "Go then, there are other worlds than these." -Jake Chambers, "Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger" Sometimes, when a Beam diverges, the separate branches are so weak and insupportable that they inevitably collapse back together. Richie Tozier is on a journey to repair the Path of the Turtle, Way of the Bear-- and find the man he loves-- whether he knows it or not. (-Or- Reddie in a Dark Tower context that no one asked for.)

Summary: It is a universally accepted truth that, should you have the misfortune to find yourself standing between a Vulcan and their bonded, you need to get the hell out of the way.

In a universe where adherents of Surak did not find pacifism logical, galactic society exists under the guidance and regulation of the Vulcan Protectorate. A rule-breaker by nature, Jim Kirk has been practically doomed from day one. Having escaped from the Elba II Clinical Rehabilitation Institute, he knows there is only one being who has ever been able to crack his encryptions or anticipate his moves.
As it turns out, Spock's reasons for pursuing him aren't what Jim assumed.

by Meredith Bronwen Mallory (garnettrees) Rating: Mature Trigger Warnings: Mentions of past drug use, Howard's less-than-stellar parenting, mentions of underage sexuality (they did let Tony loose at MIT), irresponsible use of alcohol, non-graphic captivity/torture, PTSD, philosophical/Lovecraftian horror. Additional Warnings/Enticements: Tony-whump, pre-Civil War AU, lots of Steve(s), super-sekrit art club, lots of comfort to wash down the hurt. Summary: The multi-verse is full of possibilities. Having distanced himself from the Avengers in the aftermath of Ultron, Tony finds himself abducted by unknown and seemingly alien forces. Not sure anyone knows he's missing, he can only collect data and look for an opportunity to escape. In one of the many worlds devastated by the Chitauri ripple-effect, Steve Rogers struggles with daily living, faced with the absence of a friend and lover who sacrificed himself to close the portal. Both men are desperate, and are about to rescue each other in the most unexpected ways.

Chapter 2/? @ AO3

by Meredith Bronwen Mallory (garnettrees) Rating: Mature Trigger Warnings: alpha/omega dynamics (yes, I know), the thinly veiled gender commentary that comes with said, accidental bonding, space opera, the fic equivalent of comfort food. Additional Warnings: smutty Stony flashbacks (actual smut to follow ^_~), biting, claiming, rimming, possessive Tony. Tony has an oral fixation and skinny!Steve has a mouth on him. Summary: It may not be the scandal of the decade, but it's up there: wealthy, controversial industry alpha Tony Stark caught in a spontaneous bond with Steve Rogers, a kitchen boy everyone thought was a beta. On a planet of rigid hierarchies, political intrigue, and false histories, Tony Stark doesn't play by society's rules and Steve-- beta or omega-- is the last person the world should underestimate.

Once again, we gather to celebrate the awesomeness of momentia, this time with Connor/Oliver from How To Get Away With Murder. I'm not as happy with how Oliver turned out. His hair does this adorable thing when it's messy that I couldn't quite capture. My scanner, on the other hand, picked up way too much green in the waves. -_- I swear it doesn't look like that in RL. ... we'll just pretend its a very chlorinated ocean. ^^'

by Meredith Bronwen Mallory (garnettrees) Rating: PG-13 Disclaimer: Star Wars, all associated images and characters are the property of corporate entities possessed also of a great many lawyers. I intend no infringement. Summary: The thing about secrets-- which Luke still does not understand-- is this: if you keep them long enough, they begin to keep you. There are three women in Leia's life: her birth mother, her adoptive mother, and his wife. She knows just enough about each of them to make the 'truth' a hopeless tangle.

I am the proud granddaughter, sister, and cousin of amazing people who have served in the Marines and the Army, and I have no intention of making  disrespectful generalizations or exploiting issues drama. But, if we don’t talk about these things, people will think they’re alone.
