Summary
The door to the garage hung half open, tense voices floating through. Holden almost pushed it the rest of the way open, but the bitter scent of anger made him hesitate, spine prickling with unease. Were Amos and Alex… fighting? Why on earth would they be fighting during his heat?
“Put that down,” Amos said sternly. “Alex, stop it.”
OR:
Stranded on Earth after their shuttle loses power, the Roci crew is forced to bunker down when Holden’s heat hits. Alex nearly resorts to drastic measures to get them back home.Series

Summary
Holden slammed the door open, rifle in hand and radiating threat. Amos’s scent immediately dropped into something softer, as if trying to placate him. The effort proved fruitless when Holden’s eyes caught on the cuff around Amos’s wrist and the rage in his scent boiled over. Apprehension flickered in the back of Wei’s mind; alphas may be better known for it, but omegas could be just as protective, vicious even in their defense of their pack. If Wei didn’t plan her moves carefully, she could very easily end up with Holden’s teeth in her throat.
“Unlock him,” Holden growled. "Now."
OR:
An exploration of Wei's perspective of Holden and Amos's relationship, including insight into Wei's values, the reasons behind her loyalty to Murtry, her budding attraction towards Amos, and the tension it causes between her and Holden.Series

Summary
“There’s protomolecule down there, you know,” Bobbie said.
Alex sobered. “Yeah. It’s getting harder to avoid these days.”
“How are you feeling about it?”
“Would feel better if you were here,” he muttered.
Bobbie sighed. “Alex…”
OR:
Having a pack member at distance is never easy. Bobbie's loyalty to Mars is steadfast, but Alex worries she'll end up burned. Later, with the Roci's fusion drive offline and the threat of falling out of orbit hanging over their heads, Alex teeters on the edge of a breakdown; it's up to Naomi to pull him out of his downward spiral.Series

Summary
He’d almost done it, one day. Had snuck up to the roof, electrified with fear, pressing himself to the walls and dodging monsters floor by floor. He’d nearly collapsed once he reached the rooftop, heart hammering, breaths rocketing in and out of his chest. Holy fuck, he’d thought, I’m alive.
Alive.He’d looked out over the rooftop, at the desecrated city below, and he’d known in an instant that he couldn’t do it. Not with the way adrenaline still zipped through his veins, the way his heart hammered away in his chest.
Alive.
Alive.
Alive.
And in that terrible moment, he knew.
What do you desire, Hyun-su?The only thing he wanted was to survive.
Or:
I thought there wasn't enough Sweet Home fanfiction out there, so I put this into existence. You're welcome.

Summary
“That sounds really nice,” Naomi said. “I’m sorry I can’t do that for you.”
Holden snorted. “Oh, are we apologizing for our genders now?”
“Shut up,” she giggled, smacking his arm. “It sounds stupid when you say it like that.”
“That’s because it is.”
“Quit making fun of me.” She nipped the back of his neck; he yelped and squirmed.
OR:
Naomi talks to Holden about Amos, scruffing, and submission. They get a little distracted.Series

Summary
Gen a/b/o Expanse one-shots/short stories, semi-connected, taking place at various points within the TV/book series. I'll be mixing and matching some details/scenes from the books and the show, which I will try to state ahead of time in the work notes to avoid confusion. There will be continuity errors bc this is my series goddammit and I'm gonna write whatever I want, conflicting timelines be damned. Not critical to have both watched the show and read the books, but I may eventually post works taking place in the last 3 books (post show finale)
Requests/prompts are welcome but not guaranteed to be taken
Disclaimer: I'm aroace, if I write characters as romantically involved it was an accident- Words:

Prophet!Holden by likeasoup
Fandom The Expanse (TV), The Expanse Series - James S. A. Corey
27 Sep 2025
Summary
I didn't plan on making this a series, but here we are. Basically what it says on the tin: Holden’s exposure to the Ring station changed his perception of time and gave him prophetic abilities, which comes with a whole host of new issues. Contains references to the later books (7-9), you don't have to have read them to read these fics but Holden’s visions will make a lot more sense if you have. Obligatory spoiler warning, though most of the references to the future are very vague.

Summary
“Can you talk?” Simon asks. “Or are you past that?”
In response, Grace licks his neck. Okay then. Definitely past the point of coherent verbal communication.
“Stop that,” Simon says mildly, shrugging his shoulder to jostle Grace, who grunts when Simon’s collarbone thuds into his nose and tightens his grip on Simon’s shirt in mute protest.

Summary
It might be messed up of me to think this, but I was so glad that Simon’s an omega.
Something about Simon’s soothing, omega presence was, really, really, really nice. I was genuinely so happy that the one other human being we found was an omega.
It also just made stuff easier when cycles came around.

“Ryland.” Simon said.
“Y-yes?” I was utterly flummoxed, and completely pink in the face.
“You’re in pre-heat.” His nose rubbed against mine, scenting me. I could barely hear what he was saying over my loud purring. “And so am I. We’ve synced.”
