Summary:

Clay

“Clay. It's rain, dead leaves, dust, all my dead ancestors. Stones that have been ground into sand. Mud. The whole cycle of life and death.” - Martine Vermeulen

Set in a galaxy, far, far away...

Revenge is a dish best served cold and what better place than in the chilling, dark recesses of outer space? Asajj Ventress once walked the path of the Jedi, but after her master was killed, her world looted, pillaged and destroyed, she gave in to the anger the Jedi code taught against. After defeating countless Jedi and winning battle after battle in the war effort, she must accomplish one last goal before Count Dooku names her as his Sith apprentice: Obi-Wan Kenobi must die. And for that to happen, she must eliminate another Jedi standing in the way of her goals: Kenobi's former padawan, Anakin Skywalker...

"I am fear. I am the queen of a blood-soaked planet and an architect of genocide. I have helped to crack the galaxy in half with this war and conquered every enemy I have ever faced—including death. All except for you."

BloodFire by madame z Rated: 17 and older starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 25]
Summary:

BloodFire

There was once peace on Earth and good will toward men; then came The Reign of the Three. Nova Markesh thought of a plan, a plan that would bring the world to its knees and in doing so would exact revenge on those who'd wronged her and Peter Petrelli (her counterpart) and Sylar, the other component comprising their trio. With the world almost at their feet, the trio encounter roadblocks in the wake of their domination. Who will get caught in the crossfire? And who will survive?

BloodFire is a fictional tale created by 'madame z' borrowing characters from the hit TV series "Heroes" (NBC). There will be a fair amount of sex and violence, as well as strong language.

Thanatopsis by madame z Rated: 17 and older starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 3]
Summary:

 

 

Intended to be a poem-fic, but didn't work out. The title "Thanatopsis", however,  loosely translated into Latin means "a mediation on death." The fic was meant to be just that, darkness, death, sadness, etc. but it became something else, something more and ultimately an ending to a longass roadtrip with characters Peter and Simone from NBC's "Heroes". I hope you like it!

Synopsis: Simone Deveaux, recently sprung from Shady Acres by her boyfriend Peter and his estranged brother Sylar, finds herself having troubling dealing with life outside the clink. Her reliance on the drugs given her while institutionalized kept her numb from the pain of reality, of past love lost and a life long forgotten. She is distant and withdrawn suffering bouts of sadness that lead her to hysterics. Only Peter can calm her down, sometimes Sylar, sometimes both. An unexpected visit from Nathan Petrelli, upsets her world and threatens to truly send her over the edge where not even Peter can save her. But a visit by a special someone, an intervention even, brings her back around and shows her the life she 'should' be living as she really does have something, some one to live for. 

Thanks & ShoutOuts: Thanks TokenBlackGirl for the awesome banner! Thanks to all who have enjoyed my foray into the world of Peter and Simone. I say this is the last...but with me, *shrugs* you never really know. *wink*

CocoCure by madame z Rated: Mature Content starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 37]
Summary:

   CocoCure

Simone Deveaux, after suffering through a series of unfortunate events, has settled on the island of Mallorca, along the southern coast of Spain. There is a new routine to her life differing far from her recent past as an art dealer living in the great city of ‘pre-blowout’ New York. She keeps up with recent events (i.e. news of terrorism, murders, death, paranormal phenomena) utilizing the security system (Bree), friend Tony Stark, created for her. She is able to remain anonymous, thus keeping her and her six-month old daughter, Nyah Arianna Deveaux safe from the outside world. Watch what happens when her anonymity is questioned by local ‘man-for-hire’, Andres Galacia; a man who shares a secret all his own. Can she trust him? Or is he out to get her like everyone else: Adam, Peter, Sylar, Nathan...

It's a mish-mash piece; Heroes stuff, Ironman stuff and maybe some other super-hero-ish stuff...meaning, "Andres" (Javier) isn't really who 'he' seems to be either. Thanks for playing!

Disclaimer: Though I wish it, Tony Stark is NOT mine, neither are any of these other characters save for Andres. Sexy Andres. Mmmmm. Delish!

Stuck by madame z Rated: Mature Content starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 13]
Summary:

Stuck

This is 1 of 3 drabbles that take place post-Like Tomorrow Over Yesterday, that deal with Simone and Peter. Yes, Peter is still fooking crazy and finds a way to get at Simone through visions and dreams. Remember, he's locked up on Level 16, but some way he 'breaks out', at least mentally to wreak havoc on Simone. Consider this a working-through of how a man can both love and hate a woman at the same time. Add a splash of QWazy to the mix and you have my version of Peter Petrelli. But fear not, it's not just crazy-time within these three pieces. Nathan (all hail the sexiness of Adrian Pasdar) makes an appearance or two and Sylar (dear God yes the evil one returneth) pops up again. At the end of LTOY he's there with Simone and you fear the worse. Well, this drabble-trio exposes his 'real' reason for being there. Not everyone is 'in the know', as it were about certain 'supers' and their powers. ;) And finally, Angela "Boss-Bitch" Petrelli rears her Madea/Medusa-inspired head and shows how she yet placates to her younger son's every whim.

This is the first feature of my Simone/Nathan pieces/drabbles/one-shots/etc.

Because I'm sometimes lengthy, this piece will consist of 3 parts.

Synopsis: Simone gets an exhibit for her gallery that she's been waiting on for some time. At the last minute she is informed of a third party to this deal. Nathan is an up and coming attorney in NYC. His family have been art patrons for many years. When Simone has to 'share' the success of the exhibit with Nathan, she will realize that art isn't the only thing they have in common.
