Fandom: The Penumbra Podcast, Juno Steel series Rated: M No archive warnings apply Word count: 5,795 - Relationships: The Ruby 7 & Jet Sikuliaq Characters: The Ruby 7, Jet Sikuliaq, M'tendere, Juno Steel - The Ruby 7 reflects on its life. It might be the last Ancient Martian, a lonely shapeshifter who doesn't know how legs work, but through time, and friendship, it's come to want more than just survival.

Written for the 2023 Penumbra Mini Bang.

This fic was posted in 2023. I'm sharing it now because I want my Tumblr to have a nicely organized link to each of my fics. Some I've shared with such inconsistent tags I can't find the links myself, and many I've never blogged about at all! This one I know I have, but it's easier to get organized with a fresh post.

Hey, Travelers! After a couple years away, I’m doing the @penumbrabang​ again this year! And to my absolute joy, I got to do art for @alexandenigtscreations’ fantastic fic THEIA My Name! 

It features various shenanigans with the Theia chip and a long-awaited reunion between Juno Steel and Diamond Hijikata!

Rating: M 

Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence 

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and being on Dark Matters most wanted list makes a person about as desperate as they come.  With the Carte Blanche's expert in disappearing still missing in action, Rita manages to locate another, more unlikely source.  

Which is how Juno Steel found himself on the door stoop of Diamond Hijikata.  An old flame who made just enough of a name for herself to be a problem.

(Written before Juno Steel and The Blank Slate)

(Art ID below) 

[ID: Fan art of Juno Steel and Diamond Hijikata from The Penumbra Podcast, in full color. The main colors of the piece are gray blue, desaturated purple, and peach.

In the foreground are Diamond Hijikata and Juno Steel. We see them from the side as they face each other head-on. Diamond stands to the left, glaring at Juno as she crosses her arms. She wears a button-up shirt with wide collars. Her long white hair is up in a loose bun. Juno stands on the right side of the piece, hands planted in the pockets of his purple trench coat. He looks at Diamond with a mix of exhaustion, sadness, and apology. 

Floating behind and between them in a rough peachy orange bubble is a vision of their younger selves. Young Diamond stands to the right, her long white hair hanging loose down her back. She smiles at Juno, who stands to the left also smiling, dressed in his HCPD uniform. Older Juno’s hair is in short dreadlocks, while young Juno’s hair is in short, natural curls. Young Diamond tugs playfully on young Juno’s tie. 

In the far background, in shades of blue, is a chalk drawing of Hyperion City in the rain. Raindrops fall in stiff angles across the piece.

Photo ID: a digit painting of Juno and Nureyev inside a boxing gym. Juno is punching a black heavy bag, he is wearing a purple sports bra and pink hand wraps. Behind him is a small wood table (with a first aid kit and pink water bottle ontop) and a boxing ring. Nureyev is approaching from the other side of the ring, one hand on the ropes as he watches Juno box.

glacial melt

by nocturnalex

(click to read)

Very early in life, Peter Nureyev learns what it is to lose: to lose family, to lose the warmth of another, and to lose his very own existence. The cold has clung to Nureyev’s bones for decades. In a futile attempt to escape the chill, he buries his identity, and Peter Nureyev becomes that of the past.

Peter Nureyev is meant to be dead, but with the newly found warmth of another, Juno Steel, followed by a group of criminals on a high-steaks heist, his glacier begins to melt, and the boy beneath awakens.
