  1. Summary

    Trolls land in Siberia in 1908 and this is the consequence. AU based on the 1959 novel/1962 movie The Manchurian Candidate.

    The main story is finished now and I have moved on to the spiritual sequel "The Spartan Housewives of NoVa" (tumblr here) but I might add more.

    Don't let the name order fool you, this is FailureArtist's work and EveryOtherUsernameWasTaken6604 did a lovely podfic but otherwise yeah it's FailureArtist.

    You can write within this AU if you let me know. Additional podfics are welcome.

  3. Summary

     

     

    The trolls we know are now humans whose paths have somehow ended up in Midland, Michigan. Some parts of their lives are the same, some are different. Yet a cult, growing quickly in the 2010s, ensnares their lives. How did we get to this point?

    Summary

    A broken, disillusioned Steve Rogers is afflicted by a delusion that the mysterious assassin who nearly killed him is actually his best friend, who died 70 years ago. SHIELD wants to lock him up and return him to being a perfect, sparkling nationalist symbol as quickly as possible. Sam Wilson, who has wrestled with his own disillusionment and his own ghosts, knows that Steve needs compassion and the support of a true friend, not a forced regime of recovery that takes away what is left of his shattered autonomy.

    Meanwhile, as Natasha tries to track down the Winter Soldier, her discoveries get more and more disturbing. She uncovers footage of the Soldier being subjected to, and forced to commit, horrific acts to maintain Hydra's cruel hierarchy. What's more, his resemblance to Steve's dead friend is too close to be coincidence. Sam and Natasha grow determined to stop the Soldier from being recaptured by his abusers, but how will Steve react when he learns the true extent of the Soldier's torture, and the true horror of what he was twisted into?

    Is the Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes? Or is he a thing wearing Bucky Barnes's face?

    Which of those things is worse?

    Summary

    “Y’should put’that out n’me.” Harley’s eyes flicker toward Strider, only taking a few moments to take in how utterly wasted the man is. He merely chuckles in response, putting his arm under Ambrose’ so he could even stand up right.

    He instead lets the cigarette onto the ground and stomps on it with his boot. “Let’s getcha home, now shall we?” Easily ignoring the youngers’ protests, they shuffle away from the building and onto the sidewalk, one humming as a reply to the others’ in-comprehensive speech.

    The picturesque village of Buell, Maine is one of the last in the United States to continue the tradition of the “harvest” or “prosperity” lottery. Its residents insist the lottery makes them stronger, even as condemnation from outsiders grows.
