(Fic) Women Scorned and Other Natural Disasters

Title: Women Scorned and Other Natural Disasters
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Humor, Romance.
Warnings: Slash. Angst where angst was not intended, but I can't seem to help it.
Wordcount: 3,126
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Javier Esposito/Lanie Parish, Kevin Ryan/Jenny O'Malley.
Summary: An expansion of the concept "a scene with Lanie and a naked Javier that the slash fans could enjoy".
Details: Written for roachstar's birthday. We share the same name, birth month, and fandom obsession, so I figured if coffeebuddha could give her lemur fic, then this bunny born of the same conversation was the least I could do.  I'm pretty sure a few of the ideas in here weren't mine, but I don't have a log and don't remember, or else I'd credit.
I don't like character bashing, but I felt my sane and balanced Jenny in "Free Fall" was way too OOC, so...here she's written more consistently with her portrayal on the show. ;)

(Fic) Zeitgeist, Volume One: Black Edelweiss—[51/51]

Title: Black Edelweiss
Series: Zeitgeist
Follows: One Giant Leap
Fandoms: Castle, Heroes.
Rating: R
Genre: Sci-fi, Suspense, Angst, case fic (if you squint).
Warnings: References to vivisection, torture, human experimentation, September 11th, and the Holocaust.
Details: Pre-slash, crossover, AU, genre-crack, angst, character focus slanted by shameless author bias, interpretation of minor characters bordering on OCs, angst, blatant denial of canon character deaths, questionable character deconstruction (to say the least), "morally grey", canon abuse, time travel, and angst.
Wordcount: 113k+
Characters/Pairings: Castle—ensemble, Ryan/Esposito pre-slash. Heroes—Noah, Angela, Tracy, Hiro, Peter, Sylar, mention of various others. Allusions to characters from NCIS.
Summary: Two weeks after Claire Bennet's televised leap from the Ferris wheel, the 12th handles it's first case delving into the strange world of specials. Evidence points the investigation toward a former Company Agent, a man Noah Bennet would swear up and down doesn't exist.
Notes: Takes place post-series for Heroes, and post- Nikki Heat and Knockdown for Castle. Takes place after my story "One Giant Leap" (for a given value of "after").
I'm fudging the timeline of both shows a bit, but specifically for Heroes, assuming a longer period of time between Volume 3 and 4, and that the series finale, Brave New World, took place in early December of 2010.
Disclaimer: Slash, superpowers and Nazis.
And while it seems almost a waste of time to disclaim this, no, I am not in any way a supporter of Nazi ideals, white supremacy or the Third Reich. I'm just an insane history-loving sci-fi nerd, and I like to acknowledge that Nazis, despite having been human beings moved by human desires, are one of the most universally one-dimensional characters in all of fiction, and wanted to present one that wasn't...
Remember, it's a crossover with Heroes , where things are almost always a bit "morally grey".
That said, there's enough wrong with this whole story for you to hate me, regardless. If for no other reason than because "empathic mimicry" is a horrible cop-out of a power, and is a horrendous plot device even when Peter had it.
This is without a doubt the most psychotic story idea I've ever conceived of, and I apologize in advance to anyone who actually reads this. Castle fans most especially.
Title is borrowed from the memoir by Johann Voss (which I haven't read, I just thought it fit).
