047 Banal - Moonlight - Kid Gloves Off

[mxcatmoon]

Also Written for: my Bingo square 'kittens and puppies,' for genprompt_bingo and inspired by corinalannister
Title: Kid Gloves Off
Fandom: Moonlight
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: PG
Words: 685
Characters: Josef & Beth friendship
Summary:  Beth is healing, Josef is helping, but Mick is MIA.
Notes: This is a missing scene of a much longer fic, if/when I get it done, or may end up in the story itself (but can be understood on its own). Frankly, anything that helps me get more of that monster written is something I can’t pass up. Strictly speaking, not a kitten, but Moonlight vampires have complicated relationships with animals, and I couldn’t think of another way to include the prompt that Corina asked for. It's not a fluffy fic I'm afraid.
Warnings: Sensitive topic. You may choose to be spoiled, or not:

( Spoiler under the cut )

[Challenge #48: Misapprehension.] Halo. "Like Toy Soldiers."

[luminious]

Title: Like Toy Soldiers
Fandom: Halo
Author: luminious
Rating: T
Word Count: 790 Words (10 Sentences Fanfic.)
Characters/Pairings: John-117, Officer Mendez, Dr. Halsey, Kelly-087, Samuel-034, Adriana-111, Fhajad-084, Kirk-018, Rene-081
Warnings: Deals with child soldiers, child experimentation and indoctrination, implied medical malpractice, and an overall dark look at children being conditioned into being death soldiers, are in this, written in the perspective of a child that doesn't realize they're in a harmful situation.
Summary: Bit by bit, torn apart, the battle wages on for soldiers (Or, 10 glimpses into the early days of John-117, back when he was a kid starting out in the SPARTAN-II Program.)
Disclaimer: I do not own Halo, nor am I or will I ever profit from this work.
