    I drank from Dame Carmilla’s wrist
    And we went forth to roam
    Then the tavern burned behind me
    And I’ll never go sailing home

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims has a talent for being kidnapped. Unfortunately, he wasn’t expecting to accidentally be kidnapped by a bunch of immortal space pirates when he was investigating a statement about them. Now he’s stuck on the Aurora in some far off galaxy as his assistants try their best not to lose their minds.

    This is why he doesn’t do follow-up investigations…


    Who needs a timeline and comprehensive plot when you have shenanigans and fun? I am in deep denial about the tragedies. Also let's ignote the fact that i haven't finished tma <3 ANYWAY this is just purely self-indulgent writing to satisfy my autistic brain

    Summary

    "I'm going to heal you, but it's a slow process." Brian pauses. "...With- with magic. I'd rather not leave your wounds to heal on their own."
    Tim's unseeing eyes go wide. "Oh. You're-"
    "A witch, yes. But I'm a good witch, promise." He hopes his smile reaches his voice.
    "...Huh." Tim sounds unconvinced.
    Brian frowns softly. "I know we get a... bad reputation, to put it lightly, but I really do just want to help any way I can."

    Summary

    Polymechs fluff for a trade. Prompt was the sillies being silly. Influenced by my own headcanons, this is what happens during an average day on the Aurora. To me. In my head. This is what happens.

    Summary

    FIRST MATE: i will literaly hunt you down and use ur head as a fuckkign paperweight

    Pew pew: says the one who actually got decapitated and then bit a bloke’s toes off

    FIRST MATE: hEY, you say that like its a bad thign

    A real Doctor: I agree w Jonny, toes are yummy :D

    Pew pew: shut the fuck up Marius

    FIRST MATE: shutt he fuck up marius

    The hot one: Shut the fuck up, Marius.

     

    OR -- I wrote a chatfic like it's 2020, except it's a TMA/Mechs crossover that really never should've left the dark crevices of my brain that it crawled out of. Featuring a vast array of homosexual hijinks, innumerable octokittens, emotional constipation to such a degree that no amount of laxatives could fix it, and a fuckload of explosions.

    ALSO -- This fic contains violence. And character death. Personally, I wouldn't say that it warrants any archive warnings, as I personally wouldn't consider it graphic and, although it is character death, the characters in question are kind of immortal, so, y'know. But I'm using 'chose not to use warnings' because others might consider it graphic or MCD. Please bear this in mind, and look after yourself :]

    Summary

    Jonny instinctively gets trigger-happy (or rather, more so than usual) when he spots a member of an elvish-looking species. Good thing none of the crew have pointy ears or anything- oh, wait.

    Or: New Midgardians are kind of elvish-looking, and Lyf's death count rises quickly after they join the Mechanisms.
