Summary
The door to the garage hung half open, tense voices floating through. Holden almost pushed it the rest of the way open, but the bitter scent of anger made him hesitate, spine prickling with unease. Were Amos and Alex… fighting? Why on earth would they be fighting during his heat?
“Put that down,” Amos said sternly. “Alex, stop it.”
OR:
Stranded on Earth after their shuttle loses power, the Roci crew is forced to bunker down when Holden’s heat hits. Alex nearly resorts to drastic measures to get them back home.Series

Summary
Holden slammed the door open, rifle in hand and radiating threat. Amos’s scent immediately dropped into something softer, as if trying to placate him. The effort proved fruitless when Holden’s eyes caught on the cuff around Amos’s wrist and the rage in his scent boiled over. Apprehension flickered in the back of Wei’s mind; alphas may be better known for it, but omegas could be just as protective, vicious even in their defense of their pack. If Wei didn’t plan her moves carefully, she could very easily end up with Holden’s teeth in her throat.
“Unlock him,” Holden growled. "Now."
OR:
An exploration of Wei's perspective of Holden and Amos's relationship, including insight into Wei's values, the reasons behind her loyalty to Murtry, her budding attraction towards Amos, and the tension it causes between her and Holden.Series

Summary
“There’s protomolecule down there, you know,” Bobbie said.
Alex sobered. “Yeah. It’s getting harder to avoid these days.”
“How are you feeling about it?”
“Would feel better if you were here,” he muttered.
Bobbie sighed. “Alex…”
OR:
Having a pack member at distance is never easy. Bobbie's loyalty to Mars is steadfast, but Alex worries she'll end up burned. Later, with the Roci's fusion drive offline and the threat of falling out of orbit hanging over their heads, Alex teeters on the edge of a breakdown; it's up to Naomi to pull him out of his downward spiral.Series

Summary
He’d almost done it, one day. Had snuck up to the roof, electrified with fear, pressing himself to the walls and dodging monsters floor by floor. He’d nearly collapsed once he reached the rooftop, heart hammering, breaths rocketing in and out of his chest. Holy fuck, he’d thought, I’m alive.
Alive.He’d looked out over the rooftop, at the desecrated city below, and he’d known in an instant that he couldn’t do it. Not with the way adrenaline still zipped through his veins, the way his heart hammered away in his chest.
Alive.
Alive.
Alive.
And in that terrible moment, he knew.
What do you desire, Hyun-su?The only thing he wanted was to survive.

I thought there wasn't enough Sweet Home fanfiction out there, so I put this into existence. You're welcome.

Summary
“That sounds really nice,” Naomi said. “I’m sorry I can’t do that for you.”
Holden snorted. “Oh, are we apologizing for our genders now?”
“Shut up,” she giggled, smacking his arm. “It sounds stupid when you say it like that.”
“That’s because it is.”
“Quit making fun of me.” She nipped the back of his neck; he yelped and squirmed.
OR:
Naomi talks to Holden about Amos, scruffing, and submission. They get a little distracted.Series

Summary
Gen a/b/o Expanse one-shots/short stories, semi-connected, taking place at various points within the TV/book series. I'll be mixing and matching some details/scenes from the books and the show, which I will try to state ahead of time in the work notes to avoid confusion. There will be continuity errors bc this is my series goddammit and I'm gonna write whatever I want, conflicting timelines be damned. Not critical to have both watched the show and read the books, but I may eventually post works taking place in the last 3 books (post show finale)
Requests/prompts are welcome but not guaranteed to be taken
Disclaimer: I'm aroace, if I write characters as romantically involved it was an accident- Words:

Prophet!Holden by likeasoup
Fandom The Expanse (TV), The Expanse Series - James S. A. Corey
27 Sep 2025
Summary
I didn't plan on making this a series, but here we are. Basically what it says on the tin: Holden’s exposure to the Ring station changed his perception of time and gave him prophetic abilities, which comes with a whole host of new issues. Contains references to the later books (7-9), you don't have to have read them to read these fics but Holden’s visions will make a lot more sense if you have. Obligatory spoiler warning, though most of the references to the future are very vague.

Summary
In 1949, we sent the first primate to space.
A little rhesus monkey. The scientists forced him into the rocket.
He died upon impact with the ground. But, first, far from home, a monkey touched the stars.
Far from home, a child of Earth was spat out. Here, he is resurrected, emerged into a new world.
Monkey... something has followed you.
(Three years in to the journey to Erid, there is something so bright and big in the Hail Mary’s path that it triggers an automatic shutdown of their engines.
When they stop, there is nothing bright there. In the center of where this anomaly would have been, there is a submarine. An improbable submarine, and the even more improbable person inside of it. He is far from home, praying for safety in his dreams, where he floats in the water of kind oceans and hears his mother spin bedtime stories. He wants, with all his being, to be saved.
Someone is listening. Someone is re-writing his story.
Someone gives him Grace.)

Summary
Zoro’s used to being the one people rely on in a fight. A tool. A shield. A sword (or three). No one’s ever accused him of being intelligent—or even having common sense. Then he met Luffy—and the rest of them—and somehow, he thought he’d found something different. People who saw him as something other than an idiot. Something other than a weapon.
But between getting lost, missing things everyone else seems to just get, and saying the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time, it’s not hard to start hearing the same old story again—from the very people he opened himself up to: he’s stupid, and he’s only good with a sword.
And if that’s how the Straw Hats see him… then maybe that’s all he is.
The problem is, the Straw Hats don’t realize what they’re reinforcing.
And by the time they do, Zoro’s already running himself into the ground trying to be useful enough to keep.
Now they just have to figure out how to fix something they didn’t even know they broke—before he breaks himself for good.

Summary
“What’s wrong with me?” Grace manages, the words squeezed out through the tightness in his throat. “We just got attacked by the people who want both of us locked in a bunker, I nearly crushed everyone by accident, YOU made people BLEED FROM THEIR EYES, it’s finally hit me that I’m never going to get my old life back and now you're offering me a potato chip?”
Simon just looks at him, holding out the bag of chips in question. “Well do you fucking want one or not?”
