Adjournment by iceblyecyanide for @strangesoulmates [T, 5 399 words]
“Did no one ever tell you that it’s impolite to enter someone’s room without invitation, Alex Rider?”

A Surprising Holiday by TheOtherBlue for @myulalie [E, 3 487 words]
Alex runs into Yassen while on holiday in Greece and sees a chance to flip the script of their encounters. Yassen isn't entirely convinced, but is willing to play along.
The Monster in the Cellar by Too_Many_Rooks for @icebluecyanide [Not Rated, 5 104 words]
'Perhaps he’d lied to himself as much as he’d lied to MI6. Every report they’d demanded had read the same; his nephew was normal, and safe, and happy, and they couldn’t have him. Ian was his parent in every way that mattered, not a prison warden for the thing that might lurk inside him. No one would take his kid away from him.
But the snarling, blood-stained, monster, barely conscious with all his hate and his hunger that was chained up in their basement didn’t much resemble the sweet little boy who’d run to greet him at the door when he returned from long overseas missions, or the child who’d stare with wide-eyed joy and fascination as Ian showed him the world, nor even the stroppy tween who liked to complain about how boring and embarrassing his guardian was.'
Ian is forced to enact a plan he'd been desperate to avoid when he returns home one day to find his nephew... changed.
Lot 14 by Rirren for @lastlymatt [E, 2 509 words]
Blind and deaf, Alex Rider is helpless as he is auctioned off.
Pinewood by turtle_snail [T, 5 166 words]
Alex and Freddy are captured by nightshade, the situation is starting to seem dire and maybe Alex can’t sass his way out of this one.
A different kind of sacrifice by limnal for @strangesoulmates [E, 4 346 words]
Alex, a young Celt, has been chosen to be handfasted with Yassen, a druid known for his love of blood magic and human sacrifice.
There are expectations to fulfill this night.
A Winter Offering by LastlyMatt for @myulalie [E, 4 561 words]
In order for the village to make it through winter, Alex has been chosen as a sacrifice for the spirit of the woods.
Salt Water by Myulalie for @shehungthemoon [E, 4 618 words]
Five times Alex forces Yassen’s hand (and gets away with it).
Disciplinary Action by icebluecyanide for @lastlymatt [M, 4 475 words]
General Alexei Sarov makes good on his promise to have Alex whipped.
"There will be no more outbursts," Sarov told him, his tone brooking no disobedience. "You will be quiet, and you will watch. And when Juan's punishment is over, you will take his place."
Written for FebuWhump Day 24: "I'm doing this because I care about you" and the Alex in Chains prompt "Alex tied up in front of an audience".
The Mystery Suitor by turtle_snail for @myulalie [M, 8 311 words]
“I’ll think this is an amazing deal. It will bring prosperity to both our kingdoms. I think Prince Alex can agree.” He heard Ian say. Alex's curiosity doubled. He caught his name being included in some deal Ian was making on his behalf.
“What was that about?” Alex demanded, not hiding the fact that he was eavesdropping seconds before.
“You have a suitor.” Ian said, "I just got a marriage proposal.”
