Summary
"When's the last time you had a normal dream? Just weird subconscious bleeding in at the edges, non-Euclidean geometry, tentacles, whatever. You should try it sometime," Eames insists.
"Goodnight, Mr. Eames." Arthur closes the door firmly on his way out.

Summary
"What brings you here, Gault? Not that I am not glad of your company," Lucienne hastens to add because it is true, and she would not want the dream to feel unwelcome.
"Are you?" Gault asks. "You never seemed to like me much before."
Gault visits Lucienne in the library to clear the air. They end up doing far more than that.

Summary
It's not what you say, but how you say it.
Or
Joe and Nicky have some...unconventional terms of endearment for each other.

Summary
Nicky sits up, pulling Joe with him, and he takes Joe's hands in his own. Like this, Joe's fingers are as long and thick as Nicky's, and Nicky laces their hands together, folding Joe's fingers between his. It's a snugger fit than usual, but Nicky ignores it.
"Do you remember who you are, cuore mio?"

Summary
The hinges creaked as the heavy door was pushed open to reveal Nicolò. The duke was wearing one of his more formal outfits, clearly intending to make an impression for the newest councilors who would be joining them for the first time. Yusuf allowed his eyes to rake appreciatively over his husband's form as he continued to strum gently. Nicolò glanced around, clearly seeking the source of the music, and he stopped short of the council table as his eyes caught on Yusuf, widening in surprise.
"Yusuf, my dear?" Nicolò's tone was full of puzzlement. "Why are you dressed like that?"

An unofficial coda to Sixthlight's the map is not the territory.

Summary
Joe and Nile have a difficult conversation about Andromache's past.
This fic makes reference to events from the comics, but it should still make sense if you have only seen the film.

Summary
Nile narrows her eyes. "Show me."
"That's fair," Joe says. "But it will take a couple hours."
"Wait, hours?"
"Yes, Nile," Joe says patiently. "It's not an instantaneous process."
"What kind of shapeshifter are you?" Nile complains, but she's mostly teasing because it's not like she really believes any of this quite yet.

Summary
Nile marks her page in the manual and makes to get up off the sofa when she sees Joe clipping a leash onto Nicky's collar. It's one of those retractable ones, with a clunky blue plastic handle. Nile isn't exactly an expert, but she's pretty sure this isn't the kind of leash one typically uses for kinky sex stuff.
Or
The one where Nicky is a werewolf, and Joe and Nile take him for a walk. As you do.

Summary
"I could wipe your mind clean, a blank slate," Charles says. "I could leave you in a coma or brain damaged, take away all but your most basic survival abilities, abandon you as a person without the capacity for original thought. I could rebuild you as someone else entirely and you would never know the difference. Maybe I already have."
The idea hangs in the air, a challenge waiting to be refuted.
Erik snorts, softly. "I hardly believe you'd have intentionally remade me as such a pain in your arse."

Family don't stab you in the back. (They stab you in the chest while their immortal lover watches.)

Summary
An audio performance of liadan14's story (1.5 hours)
“Do you prefer the company of men or women?” Nicolò asks.
Yusuf continues coughing.
“Sexually,” Nicolò clarifies.
“I can’t say I have ever been asked so directly,” Yusuf huffs.
Unrepentantly, Nicolò shrugs.
“Men,” Yusuf mutters.
Or: 4 times Nicky came on to Joe very badly and Joe still hit that, and one time it was the other way around.

Summary
"How long are you going to keep us here?" Nicky asked.
"It need not be long. You could be free in less than an hour if you give me what I want."
"But I don't know anything!" Nicky blurted out, sounding genuinely frustrated. "I don't know what you want from me."
The interrogator cupped Nicky's chin, fingers leaving small dents in Nicky's pale skin. "Oh, Mr. Jones. You know exactly what I want from you."
Or
What if a different team member was sent to retrieve Nile in Afghanistan (and then everything went horribly wrong)?

Summary
An audio performance of UnfortunatelyObsessed's story (6 min.)
Ed watches Stede pace.
Well. Maybe pace is a... misnomer. Stede is practically jogging back and forth in the small cell, talking anxiously out loud in a way that Ed can't even begin to respond to.
"Watching you's got me dizzy," Ed murmurs, finally looking away. "Sit."
"Sit? Sit?! You expect me to sit when they're bringing us to our deaths?!" Ed watches the way Stede's coat hangs from his form, swaying softly with the ship. "How are we going to get out of here?"
Edward shrugs.

Summary
"What are you going to tell them? 'Hi, this is Basilica. I know you all hate him but really he was just pretending to bully you and only actually tried to kill Captain Bonnet the one time so please trust that he's totally just pretending he's going to do it again?'"
Stede shrugs. "That could work."
"No it bloody well couldn't!" Baz insists. He's aware that his voice has gone a bit screechy.

"More Edward's thing than mine," Baz chuckles. "Not all of us are so sexually repressed that we'd rather take a sword through the gut than ask a guy to fuck us."

Summary
An audio performance of grandillo's story (18 min.)
“I want to suck your cock, man! Haven’t you noticed? I’ve been following you around with the moon in my eyes, Stede! I’ve not been subtle!” He gestured to himself, naked but for a pair of leather trousers.
Or: Stede Bonnet had never fallen in love, before. He did hope that could excuse him from failing to recognize any of the signs
