Summary
"It is two in the morning, and I pace the halls of our house in Silvertwin. This shouldn’t be happening. I should be done. The fight against Godolia over, Jenny and Sheils managing affairs for now while we get a chance to rest. I figured this out, who I was, months ago: the girl who loves Eris, who loves her crew. The girl who has been fighting Godolia since she was nine. Gearbreaker, Pilot, human, Glitch, but always Sona Steelcrest. So why does the other me keep trying to creep back in?"
*******
In which Sona has trouble figuring out what feelings and thoughts are real post-corruption, but the gang is there to help her through it. -

****
Andrew after Neil is kidnapped in TKM, based on the song (you guessed it) I Know Him So Well from Chess. Alternating between Andrew's internal monologue then, and scenes from earlier in the series. -

Summary
"Here is the way it works: when one’s soulmate says something memorable, however the universe decides to define that, the words appear emblazoned on one’s wrist. The words can stay there for anywhere between a few minutes and a day, depending on the person, depending on the memorability, depending on the whims of whoever or whatever decided these things, depending, depending, depending.
That is what Andrew Minyard has been told - by books and movies, by old classmates excited about the idea, by his cousin; who learned an entire language to understand the sentence that appeared on his skin. That is not something Andrew has experienced personally.
Until now."
********
Andreil soulmate AU! This covers the canon timeline, skipping around in time some. Lots of Andrew's internal monologue.

Summary
Despite it only being Mid-October, Andrew's kitchen counter is currently covered in mini chocolate bars; the type children receive when trick-or-treating, all the way down to the pumpkin-shaped Reese's.
There are pros and cons to this.
The pro: Andrew has spent the better part of the afternoon before practice compiling a pile of candy wrappers on the ground. Internally, he's created a bracket of which Halloween-themed candy is the best. Snickers and Baby Ruths are the current top contenders.
The con: people.
Or
The 5 times Allison tried to bribe Andrew, and the one time she succeeded.

and don't go there (cause you'll never return) by purplecowboywombatgoth

Summary
Jenny was young, but even then, she knew that showing love would not be her strong suit, no matter how much she felt it. It never has been, not even with her parents. She figured that as long as they can show that unconditional love, she was fine to not be so over the top about it.
Protecting Eris, though? That was something she vowed to do with every ounce of strength she had. She knew that they lived in a cruel world, that people got hurt all the time and it was inevitable for her to feel pain. But, as long as Eris was breathing, she was doing her job as a big sister right.OR
The Jenny centric fic that I couldn't get out of my head.

Summary
And Icca has plans- oh, so many plans. She wants to drive her knife between Caro’s ribs and twist the handle and hear the symphony of bones breaking. She wants to run her fingers through Caro’s tangled blond locks and pull until she rips off her head. Oh, “off with her head, indeed!” she’d chatter to the Darkness afterward, Caro’s head swinging by her hair from Icca’s fingertips. And oh, how beautiful she would look, how lush and complete with her hands gloved in red. She would wear it proudly, Icca thinks, and the crimson of Caro’s blood would complement her skin tone wonderfully.
OR
Icca and Caro in Wonderland. We all know how this ends. -
