Let me [BEEP] sleep!
Copper-9, an exoplanet with minerals to mine and a cheap, easy-to-make work force to mine them: Worker Drones. With Worker Drones comes Disassembly Drones, their "natural" predators. Sent from beyond to slaughter all of the cowardly workers who hide in bunkers for fear of death. Except Mallory. The bastard only stays inside to sleep all day in a nice warm bed and gives lip to anyone that wakes him up. So when a surprisingly short Murder Drone waltzes right into the bunker, panic ensues, and panic makes noise, and noise tends to wake people up. == Story of a sleepy eepy guy who wishes to his sleep paralysis demon that people would leave him the [BEEP] alone. But where's a good story where everything goes the way someone wants? Got the idea from some art randomly and thought, " Ay, that's pretty good."
Keep the Ghost
Kayla is about to fake her own death. The teenager has met a couple of strangers that claim to be experts on pseudocide, and they've told her what to do. And poor Sean Reilly, the exchange student living in her house, has stumbled on the plan. When Kayla begs, Sean gets roped in. I mean, only with little things, nothing too serious: lie about when he last saw her, and hide a few facts from the police. Except, things fall apart in a hurry. When Kayla vanishes, the police suspect Sean of being more than a concerned friend. As evidence mounts, detectives zero in - there's no way out for Sean. They're arresting him for Kayla's murder. His one chance at freedom is to follow in Kayla's footsteps and reach out to the enigmatic strangers who make a life out of pretending to be dead. They call it enlightenment, but Sean calls it crazy. At least they have a plan, even if the first step is to kill himself. Will Sean have the strength to take the plunge? And if he does, who will come out the other side?Complete

UnAliver
Cale Kelly is an Unaliver. The tricky part of Cale's job is making it look like a suicide, or even better, an accident. Accidents cost extra in his line of work. Cale's job was different, depending on who you asked. According to the IRS, Cale made a passive income from online music streaming - or so said his Schedule SE Form 1040 - but the music was nothing more than AI generated elevator ambience, and his listenership were mostly chatbots programmed to "like and subscribe." According to the FBI, Cale would be legally classified as a "contract killer," should he ever get arrested or go to trial for his work. But that term was problematic for a few reasons; first and foremost, "killer" makes for a pretty poor resume keyword, and more importantly, Cale's victims were never technically "killed." That is, if he did his job correctly. But when Cale suspects that someone important to him has been "unalived," who can he turn to that would believe him? And how can he seek justice without exposing his own crimes? [UnAliver is a satirical short fiction story intended for mature audiences.]Complete
TCF Songfics (my version) SweetTMess
Summary: Cale gets caught in multiple ocasions singing for himself, singing for the dead or for his family because he is kinda dense and doesn't know how to cope with his feelings other than letting them out in his (supposedly) intimacy. Sometimes he sings his love, sometimes he tunes his pain, but there's always someone for him at the end of that episode of underwhelming feelings Notes: Please bare with my english, this is kinda my first time writting for somebody that is not myself and in OTHER language that is not spanish. Annnd yes, I love TCF songfics, I adore the idea of a singing Cale who somehow finally lets his feelings out of himself for others to help him live a more peaceful life, outside of his pain and being able to speak (or, in this case, sing) his bottled up feelings This is my version, I'll be adding more every time my Spotify decides to yeet me a song that I can put in Cale's lifeComplete
