"Surrealist beauty is convulsive. That is, you feel it, you don't see it - it exists as an excitation of the nerves. The experience of the beautiful is, like the experience of desire, an abandonment to vertigo, yet the beautiful does not exist as such. What do exist are images or objects that are enigmatic, marvelously erotic – or juxtapositions of objects, or people, or ideas, that arbitrarily extend our notion of the connections it is possible to make. In a way, the beautiful is put at the service of liberty."

- Angela Carter, The Alchemy of the Word

Irony by SentinelSpockNimoy reviews
This spawned from a weird dream I had about a very odd pairing with one of my favorite characters. Will be multi chapter. In an ironic twist of fate, Picard has his heart stolen by the last person anyone would expect. Male/Male pairing, don't like, don't read. Rating will change later.

It never happened, except that it did by Spectre-the-Zombie reviews
'It never happened' is what she told him. If only it were as easy for her to believe such a lie. ((In which Tasha has some complicated regrets, Troi does some actual counselling, and people try to talk things out like adults.))

Fifth Stage of Grief by zakhad
This story picks up about the end of season four. BOBW bridges Season three and four. Elizabeth Kubler Ross: The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. (Not quite humor, but also not drama or angst.)

He's My Father by Tarado reviews
Luke's eyes were cold steel, ice. Han felt a chill crawl down his spine. The Kid had changed. Something had rattled him, something that had taken the optimistic teenager and replaced it with a brittle edge, cynical, almost dangerous. Post-Endor, the Alliance cleans up the mess and Han gets up to speed on what happened while he was gone. One-shot.

The Misfits by davidnm2007 reviews
Alastar, Nasty and Patreus are training to be Space Marines - or trying to, anyway. Ever get bored of Chapter-zombie, personality-free, lemming-like marines? This is my attempt to avoid those tedious stereotypes.

The Serpent by The Unholy Trio reviews
Not everything concludes with the end of the world. Spurred by instinct, forced by guilt and driven by ambition, life continues for the rueful few who survived the apocalypse. AU, JillxWesker, JillxChris, mature content.

Strays reviews
Nobody can travel with the Doctor for very long without something about him rubbing off on them. Doctor/TARDIS, sort of TARDIS/Wheatley if you squint. Massive spoilers for Portal 2, and for 6x04 "The Doctor's Wife".
