Earth has a population of roughly a billion hominids. For the most part, they are happy with their lot, living in a preserve at the bottom of a gravity well. Those who are unhappy have emigrated, joining one or another of the swarming densethinker clades that fog the inner solar system with a dust of molecular machinery so thick that it obscures the sun. The splintery metaconsciousness of the solar-system has largely sworn off its pre-post-human cousins dirtside, but its minds sometimes wander…and when that happens, it casually spams Earth's networks with plans for cataclysmically disruptive technologies that emulsify whole industries, cultures, and spiritual systems. A sane species would ignore these get-evolved-quick schemes, but there's always someone who'll take a bite from the forbidden apple.

Here's the four pieces of flash fiction I wrote in 5 minutes each, at Eastercon 2013.

Warning: Sex, drugs, rock 'n roll, and Anne Rice-sque vampires. "Hush..." Nicolai was close to Lyndall's ear now. His cold aura permeating the boy's soul with fear, incapacitating all his movements. The creature had fair skin, almost translucent, with hair that glistened over his shoulders in a shower of silver. He was as beautiful and murderous as a blizzard that was now suddenly still. The strength of his body was overbearing like a glacier at the summit of a mountain about to create an avalanche. His gelid sharp fangs flashed in his smirk, "You'll wake the neighbors." His red eyes glinted menacingly back at Lyndall's with unfettered enjoyment. Lyndall's heart dropped further into his stomach, coming to the realization that this creature was an empty tundra, and he was going to die by it... Update: Thanks for the reads... Currently rewriting and fixing up the whole story!

All John Watson and Sherlock Holmes wanted was a flatmate. But they ended up with so much more... As John and Sherlock try to deal with their inner conflicts and the aftermath of their 'adventures' with Eurus, fate brings them across an old friend and a new mystery. A man's house is broken into by his dead wife, and the crime sets into motion a series of events that no one - not even Sherlock Holmes - could have anticipated. (Contains Johnlock)

When an ancient book capable of summoning a demon is stolen from heaven, Narius, a young and not so bright angel of knowledge, is cast down and ordered to destroy it. If he fails, he can never return to his blissful life as a lazy library guard. Fortunately, to aid him in his quest, Narius is accompanied by the Codex, a theoretically holy book, who sprouts terrible courtship advice like a cheap fortune cookie. Upon arrival to the world below his, Narius is tricked into helping Emily, a greedy sorceress in a bit of a pickle, trying to deal with a hungry dragon. Together, the human and the angel must overcome enchanted apples, evil elves and the impoverished dragon or risk watching their world burn.
