Summary: Written for

100words Prompt #071 - Illusion.
Notes: Canon divergent, because Civil War was all sorts of stupid in terms of characterization and I'd like to think they worked out their issues an Bucky came home to the tower. The title is from Mary Elizabeth Frye's poem Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep,

Steve knows it's an illusion, no more real than fever dreams or Wanda's nightmares, because his life isn't this.

It isn't couches soft as clouds and televisions the size of cars. Isn't pantries stuffed with food so exotic he's never sure if Tony's joking if something's edible. Isn't a ghost sprawled beside him, eating popcorn and mocking bad movies like he'd never been gone. Never been dead.

It's an illusion and Steve knows if he says it aloud, gives into doubt for a second he'll wake up. In the war. In the ice. In the empty apartment.

So he dreams.

It wasn't real.

Simulations, even ones this good, are obvious once you knew where to look and Rodney's been through more than he's comfortable admitting, even to himself. All of this, the ambush, the interrogations, the torture-- everything since they landed was just ones and zeros. Electronic ghosts that played on his nightmares.

He watched his friends suffering, dying, knowing that in the real world he would have lost them. It's almost too much, it always is, but they weren't real… and that's why he can save them.

Rodney finally gets his fingers into code and rips the world apart.

Summary: Susan isn’t fond of stories. Written for dailyprompt challenge “the one who wasn’t there”.

Stories say Susan never returned to Narnia, but stories lie because growing up isn’t the same as losing faith. Aslan knows that even if her siblings don’t.

She follows her heart home, time and again, and after the train she visits the void they left behind. Aslan comes to her, as he always does, and doesn’t explain. She wouldn’t let him if he tried.

Happy endings are for stories.

She rebuilds their Narnia with Lucy’s wild joy, Peter’s fierce loyalty, Edmund’s sharp drive, and her faith… until it’s her turn for further up and further in.

This time Narnia remains.

Summary: Written for dailyprompt 2017-05-15 "prove a negative".

There's nothing he can say to prove he's not who they think he is. He's tried politely, with increasing panic through each interrogation. There are too many coincidences, too many correlations between his truth and their myth for rational explanations.

But that doesn't make it true… right?

They want him to be their John, need him to be with such frantic faith that for one brief moment he's wishing with them.

He leaves that out of the mission reports. And therapy sessions. And fireside chats with friends who won't-- can't understand.

Because he's not sure he isn't their John anymore...

SUMMARY: Written for

fffc challenge Little Special: Quick Creation Game (three sentence challenge, prompt: demon).

In his nightmares the chevrons are demon dogs, with cold blue eyes, deep silver fur, and a touch that turns everything to ice. They stalk the edges of his pleasant dreams with the shadows of deeper terrors pooling at their heels, waiting for their chance to strike.

In the waking world he watches them out of the corner of his eye -- he can't look and he can't look away -- each time as they sink their teeth into the gate symbols and tear the universe apart.

Gate Team 5 stared at the towel racks for a long thoughtful moment, abandoned by their native guide who had not quite ditched them in the middle of an alien jungle. An alien jungle that apparently knew how to accessorize.

"What do you suppose he meant by 'explosive growth'?"

Several fun-filled hours later they mastered the art of telling dead-and-thus-safely-inert seedpods from attractively-packaged-leafy-green-bundles-of-death. Actually, Matt had mastered the art of setting-off-explosions-from-a-distance-with-inappropriate-amounts-of-amusement, and Amy was working on poking-things-with-a-very-long-stick, in the hopes of securing a pinecone containing screws and not squirrels. Or whatever they were calling the bright orange rodents with a taste for metal and a nasty possessive streak. (Gate Team 5 had learned to stop suggesting names for wildlife in their mission reports, it just made Sam sigh heavily and pull out her red pen.)
