“All Eyes But These Eyes” by the_rck. “He looked at each member of his team in turn. ‘We're the third team they've sent,’ he reminded them. ‘The first team disappeared entirely. The second...’ He cleared his throat. ‘The second came back in pieces.’“

“The Better Part Of” by lady_ganesh. “The party was not quite winding down, but there were lulls, and a man could safely retire to the library to get a little peace and quiet. At least, that had been Nagi Naoe's plan.”

“The Broken” by lady_ganesh. pre-Crawford/Schuldig. “Schuldig has burned through his teammates one too many times; Crawford is his last chance.”

“Carry It” by the_rck. “Because Yohji had only the vaguest idea of what he was doing, it took them five jumps to get close to the right time. Yohji was all set to try again, but Asuka overruled him. ‘Four years early,’ she said, ‘isn't so bad. We'll need that time to prepare.’“

“Centuries of Nerve” by the_rck. Chapter 1 of the second story in a series. “Neither Schuldig nor Yohji mentioned that Schuldig knew that Yohji had cried in the shower, Yohji because he wanted to pretend that Schuldig didn't know and Schuldig because he wanted to let Yohji keep some dignity...”

“Contracted” and “Honest Work” and “Playing the Odds” and “Cargo” and “Journey’s End” by daegaer. For the prompt: “Nagi/Omi, sci-fi AU. Space pirate and smuggler Nagi finds himself strangely compelled to help Omi, a lowly bodyguard who is secretly the illegitimate heir to the Takatori planetary system, make his way home and reclaim his birthright.”

“Debt” by mami. Crawford/Yohji. For the prompt: “Enemies who keep their word, ‘You and your friends will be safe.’ ‘You'll survive.’”

“The Dream Team” by mami. Part 1. For the prompt: “WK-Inception crossover. In creating this new field, the corporate and military interests behind dreamshare are more invested in the short-term benefits of the technology and pharmaceuticals and less concerned with the long-term side effects and changes. Brad Crawford and Schuldig start to develop what might be termed, among the more credulous of the scientific community, extrasensory perception. Or they might just be losing their grip on reality.”

“Farce” by viridian5. Crawford/Schuldig. For the prompt “20 years later.”

“Finding An Exit” by daegaer. Crawford/Schuldig. For the prompt “Six times in Schuldig’s life he has tried to get rid of his telepathy.”

“Fuildoirteadh” by daegaer. “Imperial Rome AU; Sesithacus has had enough of Celtic religion; the title means ‘bloodshed.’“

“Gathered from the Gales” by the_rck. “Nagi agreed to sex with Crawford and Schuldig, agreed to act as Dom for them for one night for mutual pleasure. He should have asked more questions because what he got was a hell of a lot more complicated.”

“Ghost Coffee” by daegaer. Drabble.

“Glass Houses” (installment) by viridian5. (Ongoing work on AO3 here.) “Brad, I think I know a way we can ask Kritiker for work without losing too much face.”

“Keeping Score” by amiko. For the prompt “Three times Yohji sent Schuldig to the hospital, four times Schuldig sent Yohji to the hospital.”

“Love Runs Out” by lokuro. Fanvid. “Schwarz-centric fanvid. ‘We want to see to see this world burn. We want to see it fall to pieces and create perfect CHAOS.’“

“Negotiations” by somali77. For the prompt “Captive Yohji attempts to seduce Crawford in an effort to improve his circumstances.”

“Nothing But The...” by lady_ganesh. “Mamoru pressed his head back against the wall. He could wait this out. He'd waited out worse. There wasn't really any such thing as truth serum. There are things that make you drunk, make you talk. That was different.”

“One More Folded Sunset” by the_rck. Crawford/Schuldig, background Crawford/Manx. “//Brad, where the fuck are we?// Once he was sure he had a connection to Brad’s mind, he opened his eyes. He felt safer that way.”

“Psi Corp Vs Schwarz” by lokuro - fanvid. For the prompt “Schuldig in the Babylon 5 Psi Corps.” “The Corps is mother. The Corps is father.”

“Ran & Aya comic” by amiko.

“Recurrent” by lauand. Crawford/Schuldig fanart.

“Request Denied” by mami. For the prompt “Nagi and Schuldig draw up a wildly optimistic list of what they would most like in a new team leader after their former team leader is killed. Rosenkreuz must not be amused by the request, because they send Brad Crawford, who fulfills none of these qualities. The Irishman they've sent along for good measure is probably also a dire message.”

“Road to Hell” by mami. For the prompt “Crawford/Schuldig. Once graduated and out in the field, Rosenkreuz is alarmed to learn just how powerful (and potentially uncontrollable) Schuldig is. They send one of their best operatives, Crawford, to kill him.”

“This Rabbit is Dynamite” by somali77. For the prompt: "Kritiker has been pushing for one of Weiss to go through an experimental procedure that is supposed to turn them into an unstoppable ferocious animal-men, like a werewolf, based on an old grimoire they found. To get them to shut up, Omi does it himself. It works. Sort of."

“Schu & Aya-chan” by amiko. Fanart.

Untitled as of yet and Untitled as of yet (art) by lauand. Crawford/Schuldig. “Schuldig woke up with a terrible, terrible headache. He opened his eyes to something that looked like a wet, glassless, disheveled Crawford would look if Crawford could pull off the wet, glassless and disheveled look without spontaneously combusting in the process.”

“Untitled Too” by lauand. Fanart: “Crawford unable to enjoy nature, Schuldig able to enjoy Crawford's unhappiness.”

“Werewolves of Tokyo” by daegaer. For the prompt “Omi becoming Kritiker’s guinea pig for making a werewolf(ish) creature.”
