    Summary

    Sora and company find themselves alone in the aftermath of a sweeping plague and are faced with the reality of the fact that life still goes on. Maybe the universe is uncaring and chaotic; maybe Camus was right about that one thing. But no one is ever as alone in it as they think they are. And even if all else fails, there's still punk rock.

    Summary

    Aposematism in animals is designed to prevent attack. It doesn't always work, sometimes it's ineffective against some predators, sometimes it isn't. As a primary defence mechanism, Newt is a colourful individual with his blue coat and golden hair. His secondary defences aren't visible however and often are what surprise his opponents the most. Bright creatures tend to be very toxic to predators, but mammals like honey badgers are aggressively defensive. Newt is a Hufflepuff and the emblem of his house suits him well. Signalling theory tells you that Newt warns off predators and opponents with his colours, but when they don't take heed he'll show his claws and fight tooth-and-nail. It's what survivors do.

    And Newt Scamander is definitely a survivor.

    Summary

    “Look,” Faraday tapped the ash off his cigarette into a plastic solo cup full of sand that he kept tucked into the cup-holder in the center console, a sort of poor-man's ashtray, “worst case scenario, I run into a spook with a bad attitude and wind up getting banned from yet another of California’s many proud testaments to yesteryear. Won’t be the first time it happens and probably won’t be the last, either. Best case, I don’t run into any ghosts at all, nobody catches me talking to myself and worries about my sanity, and we all get to go on pretending that our entire family doesn’t think I’m in the middle stages of some weird psychosis until ma brings it up at Christmas after a few too many hot toddies.”

    Summary

    It's the late 1800s, and one in four folks out west in the precarious settler communities develops a gift, a unique power that gives them some kind of advantage. Sam Chisolm has enhanced senses. Billy Rocks is damn hard to kill. Goody doesn't have a gift, unless you count being a stone-cold badass when the mood strikes. Vasquez is an empath, Red Harvest controls lightning, and Jack Horne can see the future. Emma Cullen, their new employer, can sometimes raise the dead.

    And Faraday? Well, he's harmless, really. He's got his own skills, a bit of this and that. Nothing to worry about.

    Or: that one AU where everything is the same, except nobody dies and also they have superpowers.
