here's to feeling alive again
by DesertWillow
For as long as Peter Nureyev can remember, he’s been able to see ghosts. It was a useful skill for a kid on the streets of Brahma but he has since found limited use for it within the rest of the galaxy. That is, until he meets Juno Steel and his twin, undetected by the detective for two decades.
A friendly ghost can be very useful for a lot of things, such as cheating at cards, being an invisible lookout in an ancient Martian tomb, or even as an emotional translator for his grumpy twin. With Benten now along for the adventure, it changes the course of Juno and Nureyev’s lives, from their very first meeting, all the way to the fight against the THEIA for the soul of Hyperion.

xxx you better pray i don’t get up this time around
“The window,” Nureyev says, veering left. 
“The window?” Juno repeats, not sure at all that he likes this plan. Very certain, in fact, that he does not. 
“The window!” Nureyev fires two shots at the glass, shattering it. “Bend your knees, Juno. Tuck and roll. Remember your training!” And then he disappears.
“What training!” Juno shouts, and then he’s falling, and flailing, and the ground is rushing toward him fasttoofast and he does as Peter says and bends his knees before he hits the ground and maybe he didn’t do it right because there’s the sound of something going snap and his vision goes white and for a moment all he can do is scream. And then he looks at his leg and he screams again.
xxx 
Nureyev is about to make an attempt at picking himself up off the ground when he hears a sickening crack, followed by a pair of screams from Juno that makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up and his heart clench. He’s never heard his partner make a sound like that, not once. 
Not even in the tomb.
His pulse is racing as he scrambles to his feet and turns around. “Juno?” He closes the gap between himself and his partner in mere steps. He sees Juno’s face first, twisted in agony, eyes squeezed tightly shut. He sees Juno’s leg next, and has to turn away as his stomach does a backflip.
“My god.” He forces himself to take two deep breaths, regaining a bit of composure before he turns back to Juno and moves to his side, kneeling in the grass and not caring at all as the damp stuff presses into his bare knees. “Oh, Juno, my god,” he repeats under his breath, still not as composed as he’d like to be. “My-”
“-god,” Juno gasps, managing to look annoyed despite his obvious agony. “Yeah. Got it. It’s-it’s bad.”
“I think that may be a bit of an understatement, darling.” He tries to inject some humor into his voice and does a poor job of it as he grips Juno’s hand in his own.
He must have landed wrong. Very wrong, given that his bone, all jagged red and hints of white, is protruding from his shin. It’s bloody and it’s horrific and Nureyev honestly feels like vomiting, but that’s simply not an option. Instead he takes two deep breaths and pulls out his comm puts a finger to his ear as Juno lays whimpering and groaning and gasping beside him.
“Buddy, where are you now?” he says as soon as the comm crackles to life. 
The fear in his voice, the desperation, must be obvious because there’s a tinge of worry when she responds, “You okay, Pete?”
“We’ve got, um...a bit of a situation, here I’m afraid. Juno’s injured. His leg is broken.”
 “How did he manage that?”
It’s all my fault, he thinks, the thought making his chest go tight. Deep breath. “Can you get in closer, Buddy?” 
“...No. No, I’m sorry, Ransom. The anti-aircraft cannons would have us out of the sky before we landed. You’ll have to make your way to us. Is it bad?”
Nureyev almost laughs at the absurdity of the question, almost, except that Juno is in agony. The man’s hand goes limp in Nureyev’s at that moment, his pained noises quieting. Nureyev is concerned but not surprised to see that Juno has slipped out of consciousness. “Yes. It’s...It’s bad. What about Rita? Couldn’t she hack into them?”
“The computer’s on the fritz, dear, remember? There’s parts that need replacing.”
Nureyev lets out a string of curses under his breath. How could he have forgotten? 
“It’s just a little over a mile, Ransom. Do you think you can get him out?”
“I…” Nureyev shifts his gaze from Juno’s face to his leg and swallows back a bit of bile. “I’m looking at his bone, it’s…out in the open. I’m afraid to move him.”
“Vespa can talk you through stabilizing the injury. Or we can come to you on foot, but--”
“But it’ll take twice as long to get him back to the ship,” Nureyev finishes, heart sinking. “They’ll be coming for us. We don’t have that kind of time.” He closes his eyes and lets out a long sigh. “Tell me what to do.”
xxx 
Juno wakes up screaming. 
“I know, Juno, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We’re almost there, darling. Just hold on for me. A little longer.” 
Nureyev is carrying Juno on his back, doing his absolute damndest to keep from jostling the man’s injured leg. But even with the improvised splint, Juno is still getting bumped around with every step.
“Ju-ju-stop! Stop, please! Please.” He breaks down into loud sobs. “Please. Fuck! Please, Nureyev, please.”
Nureyev finds himself biting back tears at the sound of his partner’s begging. 
“I can’t do that, darling. I’m so sorry. We must get you back to the ship so Vespa can do her work.”
Juno groans. “I hate you,” he mumbles.
He knows it’s the blood loss and the pain talking, but the words still send a shard of ice through Nureyev’s heart. He makes it a few more steps, and a few more shards puncture his ventricles, because he’s about to have to do something that he really doesn’t want to do.
Juno is slipping in his arms. 
“My love?” he says. 
Juno only grunts in reply.
“Darling, you’re going to want to brace yourself. I’m...I’m losing my grip on you and I’m afraid--I’m afraid I’m going to need to give you a boost.”
“Don’t.” The word comes out desperate and so very raw. “Nureyev, don’t!”
“Are you ready?”
“Don’t! Please, Peter please don’t do this please--”
Nureyev adjusts his hold on Juno, who barely manages to scream before going limp against Nureyev’s back. Nureyev steps a little faster, pushing himself to hurry, even just a little. His arms, especially his shoulders, are aching and his heart is hammering, his lungs burning, and he’s drenched in sweat. But it doesn’t matter because it’s Juno, stubborn, beautiful, infuriating, magnificent Juno, and Nureyev is going to fix this.

oooh many tempting choices but I'm going with night moves 👀
[Blows dust off]
I'm in a Position with Night Moves, cause i should probably finish S4&5 of Juno Steel but also I like the canon divergence semi-au I've made here and I want to shelter it. The struggle I have with Night Moves is that it wants to be long, which preemptively exhausts me. But i love it and it does haunt me.
The monitor at the front desk chimed just as Rita, who’d been unusually quiet piped up, “Oh! Mista Steel! Company is coming!” "Take your coat off, stay a while," Juno murmured, flicking his eye to the monitor on the desk. "I'm good," Alessandra's lip curled in distaste and Juno fought down the instinctive need to come to the crappy motel's defense. Sure it was faded and out of style and dim and dingy, but it was his, damn it. It was clean, and it was the last safe place left in the whole fucking galaxy as far as he was concerned. "If I wanted -" "Take your god damned coat off and throw it over your arm," he barked, standing up to his full height and putting his hands on his hips. The bell over the door sounded like a storm warning. Juno didn’t look. "Look, do I want to leave? Of course I do. But I don't. Because we don't have the coverage! You didn't clear your time off with me, Missy, now get your ass back in that kitchen and sweat in the jello for all I care, or good luck finding yourself another job." "Go to hell," Alessandra spat, never one to be slow on the uptake. She swept past him into the back, and for his sake, Juno hoped he could get rid of the potential new customer before she had time to start poking around and find something she shouldn't. Projecting as much Hyperion ‘what do you want and make it snappy,’ as he could into his voice, Juno didn’t bother to look up as he slipped back behind the front desk and prattled off the usual spiel. “Hello traveler, welcome to the Penumbra, the finest hotel/motel this side of nowhere. Show me your token, set your price limit and we’ll start talking rooms.” Key. Key. Key. Damn it all, where did R- “Prices? I’m terribly sorry, I know this is my first time patroning the establishment, but I’ve already purchased the token.” Said token was pushed across the front desk til it was just about under his nose. J-17, huh? “Purchased?” Juno whistled low, a grin beginning to creep onto his face even through the haze of annoyance that someone ‘tidying’ his space always inspired. “Damn, who’d you piss off, Buddy or Vespa?” He could have told the guy that token’s weren’t required to be handed in until checkout, but he was already annoyed this morning and had no qualms taking it out on whatever poor sod the captain sent his way. So, he pocketed the chip and hazarded a glance up. “Excuse me?” Oh! Wow. It wasn’t professional to whistle at guests. Not even ones as good looking as this guy. He was…sharp. It was the first word that came to Juno’s mind and lingered there. Sharp jaw, sharp smile, sharp suit. “The token,” he said slowly, tongue feeling thick in his mouth, “only means you’re able to rent a room here. If they made you pay for the token too, you must have pissed them off. My money’s on Vespa.” “Ah.” The man nodded, almost to himself. “That would be why the smile. And the laughter.” “Cackle, you can call it what it is.” Juno shrugged. “I would never.” The man held out his hand to shake. “Rex Glass.” “Juno Steel."

Art! For @prydon's absolutely amazing fic Friendly Fire. Its such a small moment, but the imagery in this scene was so striking that I immediately knew I had to draw it.
If you haven’t read it yet, you NEED to. Just make sure you make sure you have tissues on hand.
Image description: Juno and Nureyev dancing inside a snow globe. Juno is wearing a lilac feminine suit with black heels, while Nureyev is wearing a blue shirt, black corset, grey pants and blue flats. There is blood on the snow at their feet. the snowglobe has a gold base decorated with dahlias, roses and a hummingbird. The background is solid black.

Penumbra Bang: The Broken Hearts Tour
I had the pleasure of working on art for for this year's @penumbrabang
The Broken Hearts Tour is cool, sexy, and perfectly described. It's a music AU where the music was clear to me the entire time I was reading, and it was a romantic adventure that kept me hooked to the very end.
Go read it and then shower @whumpdoyoumean with your love!
Rating: M Length: 30k Archive Warnings: Graphic Depictions of violence Tags: musician AU, Nureyev x Juno, Vespa x Buddy, canon-typical violence, mentions of addiction, mentions of Sarah Steel, mentions of Ben, fade to black sex
Carte Blanche is on tour--and their opening act just dropped out. Rita volunteers her and Juno’s band Redacted to fill in, which is just Juno’s luck since the last time the two bands were in the same city he had a one night stand with their handsome drummer, Ransom. And that’s the only kind of stand he does. Now he’s got to deal with the tension between himself and Ransom and the complexities of falling in love, on a tour bus of all places. Not to mention maneuvering the music scene as a recovering addict. Plus Ransom has a seedy past of his own, and when it comes knocking, things are going to get violent. Featuring Rita being the best most supportive friend, and Buddy and Vespa being a power couple.
Read it on AO3 here!

Juno doesn’t always have the energy to care for his own hair. Luckily for him, his boyfriend is more than happy to help him with that.

Birds of a feather
by lilarose300
Everything used to be so peaceful on the Carte Blanche. Well, technically, it's never been peaceful when you live in close quarters with five other people. Juno knows this better than anyone as he's the 6th member of the Aurinko crime family. But these days, things have been even more chaotic than usual. Missing tools, interrupted ladies night, and more. All of this mischief caused by the 7th and most feathery member of the crew, and Juno wouldn't have it any other way.

The night after the successful heist for the Curemother Prime, Buddy is recovering in the medical ward and Vespa can't sleep.

And it is here! A Penumbra Bang 2022 drawing for @alecjmarsh fic NDA No Loose Lips .
Their fic just sucks you in and is so hard to put down.
Juno Steel has done good for Mars as President Aurinko’s bodyguard, but if she doesn’t win her reelection campaign, they’ll both be out of a job. Then paparazzi photos surface of Juno kissing the Brahmese prince. It was only supposed to be a one night stand, but now the press is accusing Buddy of showing special favors to an outcast outer rim planet. Fixing Brahma’s PR would be a win for both teams, and Buddy has the solution: Juno and Nureyev have to pretend they’ve been carrying on a secret relationship for months, and create a romance so sweeping that the public forgives the ethical breach. First problem: Nureyev snuck out on Juno without even leaving his name, and Juno is maybe a little bit bitter. Second problem: Nureyev turns out to be vapid and selfish and grates on Juno’s every nerve. Third problem: Juno’s starting to suspect that the Brahman prince is hiding more than his planet’s crumbling infrastructure. Juno’s compelled to keep up the charade long enough to solve this mystery, even if his heart gets broken in the process.

never got over that dame
rated E | 4/? chapters | 49k+ archive warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence
Peter Nureyev, private eye, had a chance encounter with a brilliant, beautiful lady who left his head spinning. Nothing prepared him to face the lady down again, nor the catastrophe that could follow. He had to admit, though: he wouldn't trade it for all of Mars.
My current biggest project, the Reverse AU! Detective Nureyev meets Juno Steel, a mysterious lady from beyond the planet that has been his home for 30 years. Currently in progress.
author's note: Sex scene is optional and can be skipped while following the plot. Fic would be rated T if not for explicit content.
