Welcome to Night Vale

Fic/Author	Pairing	Author Summary	My Notes
From the Ground Up by Xparrot	Carlos/Cecil	"The colloquial name is bloodstone," says the man from StrexCorp's Acquisitions division. "Heard of them?" Carlos shakes his head. "No, but I'm not a minerologist. Are you certain this wasn't intended for the geology department?" Carlos is a loyal company employee, who has never been to any place called Night Vale and never met anyone named Cecil...which doesn't explain the mysterious woman appearing in his lab, or these dreams he's started having...	Mind the tags. Carlos is kidnapped by StrexCorp and loses his memory.
He Says He Is An Experimental Theologian by ErinPtah	Carlos/Cecil	Ever since Carlos was little, he and his daemon have been fans of Dr. Lyra Belacqua. Both as the most groundbreaking experimental theologian of the 20th century, and as the heroine of dozens of fantasy-adventure children's stories (based very loosely on her own mysterious childhood). But Lyra's true legacy is still bigger than Carlos ever imagined...until he took a team of scholars to study Rusakov particles in the most theologically interesting community in Hispania Nova. Now his own day-to-day life is full of things like angels, witches, hooded spectres, portals between worlds, vague yet menacing branches of the Magisterium, and a man who walks around without his daemon and can read an alethiometer as easily as a stop sign.	A His Dark Materials AU/Crossover--knowledge of HDM not required (I've personally never read the books or seen the movies) though would likely enhance the experience. Part of a series. OC-heavy and slowburn.

Star Trek

Fic/Author	Pairing	Author Summary	My Notes
We Will Meet Again by Darksknight	Spock/Kirk	For the first time in his life, things are going right for Jim Kirk. He's been promoted to captain, he's getting the flagship, and he gets to hand-pick most of his crew. When he hears he's being assigned an XO-an infamous jerk of a Vulcan instructor-he's sure that it's bound to mess everything up. There's a catch, though; even though no one (Jim included) knows it, this is the very same Spock that Jim was best friends with as a kid.	AU of TOS and AOS; Spock was on Tarsus IV with Jim.
