Between the good and bad, that's where you'll find me, Reaching for Heaven

So, all this week, I have been pecking away at fics to reply to some lonely prompts in need of ficcing. Don't hold it against them that they were posted in Dreamwidth, they still gave me some inspiration to kickstart my brain after it got itself into another rut (and I archived the fics to mtxref_fic:
