Title: Ghost in the Shell
Fandom: X-Men Movieverse
Pairing: mostly gen, with some Charles/Erik
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Post-X3 interactive fiction. "Well, we've been going through some of the professor's things since he…" Hank says. He lets out a shuddery breath before composing himself. "Ms. Munroe and I have been busy with the personal effects, the physical ones anyway, but we could use a hand going through his computer files. You don't have to organize them or anything as complicated as that. We just want to know what's there so we can figure out what to do with them later."
Notes: Will not play nicely with mobile devices. I have not tested it in IE, and some functionality may not work with it. More detailed notes can be found at the end!

Title: What You Want
Fandom: Glee
Pairing: Kurt/Blaine
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 1500
Summary: AU. For the longest time, wanting was uncomfortable, scary, something that set you apart, something that made you odd and wrong and different. It feels good now, to know that you can have what you want, to know that it will smile at you and laugh with you and kiss you and sing you silly songs on your birthday, that it will let you in and let you see it at its most fragile and its most vulnerable.
Notes: A short PWP sequel to A Far Better Thing. Takes place about one year after the events of the story. I wrote this as something of a challenge to myself to see what other sorts of stories I could write with Twine over the long weekend. (The answer was 'porn' in case it wasn't obvious.) It's still recommended that you read this in Firefox or Chrome.

What You Want

Summary: "Your motivation is that you're a repressed frat boy," Kurt says, rolling his eyes, "and we're at a party. This isn't difficult."
