Title: Knit Together, Slightly Raveled
Author/Reader: fresne
Fandom: Bible (Old Testament/Tanakh)
Pairing: David/Jonathan
Rating: PG-13
Length: 4.61 Mb, 10:58
Summary:
All night long on my bed, I looked for the one my heart loves; I looked for him but did not find him. I have searched for him. For the one my heart loves is a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person. His hair waves like the sweet water and black as a raven. His eyes are like eagles by the mountain tops washed in our enemies blood. His lips are like the rose of the valley dipped in myrrh. His body is polished bronze and his legs are pillars of stone. His mouth is like to the sweetest of wines that makes the head spin. Very pleasant has the sight of you been to me: your love to me is wonderful, passing the love of women. This is my friend, son of Jerusalem.

Length: 24.82 Mb,52.57
Summary: Marie could have managed horrible dreams. The soldiers who returned from the trenches missing arms and echoes in their eyes, they had horrible dreams. Everyone had nightmares. She dreamed of Papa tangled in the barbed wire, split in half by a winter hail of bullets as he drowned in mud, but that was normal.

Instead, ever and even before the Great War to end all Wars, horrible thoughts constantly bubbled up. Marie didn't know where the thoughts came from or even why.

The Comtesse Melusine de l'Eau could have told her that they came from under the skin.

Summary: Lugalbanda wished to be of use to his king. His seven brothers were mighty and great generals, but he was small and weak and could not eat the things that made a man strong. He could not run very fast, but he did have one skill, and that came from his heart.

Title: Gods Versus Aliens
Author/Reader: fresne
Fandom: Greek Mythology, Mahabharatha - Vyasa
Pairing: Iphigenia/Artemis, Penthesilea/Achilles, Mahabharatha-Gen
Rating: PG-13
Length: 23:18, 11.19 Mb
Music Credit: Star Trek Original Series sounds and closing credits
Summary:It may be generally understood that the Greek gods were arrogant a******s and Artemis was really good at violence.

At the dawn of the Trojan War, Iphigenia was prepared to be a willing sacrifice to Arrow Rain Showering Artemis (she's so moon-struck dreamy). Penelope was ready to do the practical thing in Ithaca. Circe had vital experiments to complete. Vital! Penthesilea was just waiting for the war to start. Achilles was looking forward to some lovely encounters with heroes. Helen was taking a hot steamy bath.

Which is why the aliens really shouldn't have tried to shock and awe the earthlings by beaming up the Queens and stealing Artemis' sacrifice. Big mistake. Huge really.

Or, how Iphigenia escaped certain death and Helen found new opportunities.
