[expansefanficstation]

Now docking at ExpanseFanficStation

Welcome

Hello! This is your one-stop shop for fanfiction for the book and television series The Expanse. We accept all fics--angst, crack, smut, fix-its, you name it! The goal of this page is to provide a place for fic writers to boost their fics, and for fic readers to easily find fics to read. Every fic will be tagged with ships, AUs, tropes, ratings, and characters for easy access. 

I will make masterlists and posts that collect fics for certain pairs or tropes in order to facilitate easy browsing. I would also like to host theme weeks and challenges for fic writers and readers alike. 

Guidelines

Please submit your fics to me and/or ping me when you post them. I will always try to reblog the fic (link or Tumblr post) from the original author, but I may also post some from AO3 with permission of the authors there.

I will do my best to tag everything, but please let me know if I am missing tags for triggers or ships. As of right now I’m one person.

If you would like to be notified when a masterlist updates with new fics, please send me an ask!

Ships will be tagged as A x B; i.e., Holden x Naomi

AUs will be tagged as XYZ AU; i.e., modern AU

Content warnings will be tagged as XYZ cw; i.e., graphic violence cw

Ratings will be tagged as Rating: T

All masterlists will have the “masterlist” tag for easy searching. 

Quick disclaimer: The mod cannot read every fic that is reblogged here. 

So how do I submit?

You can send me a submission (instructions here). You can also ping me when you post a new chapter here and I’ll reblog it. For new fics, I prioritize reblogs so that folks can find your blog! 

If I reblog your fic, feel free to request tags (i.e., smut, angst) to be included. Send me a message if you think something is missing.

What if I have feedback?

Please let me know! Send me an ask or a message.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Expanse (TV) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Chrisjen Avasarala/Bobbie Draper Characters: Chrisjen Avasarala, Bobbie Draper, Alex Kamal Additional Tags: Grief/Mourning, Missing Scenes, a rat named mouse, is not present but is definitely thought about, First Kiss, Love Confessions, Canonical Character Death, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD Summary:

She remembered, suddenly, the accident. The memories slept in her head most of the time, but sometimes they could come back on the oddest occasions. Mariner Valley, the red cliffs and stripes of dark rock. Her dad, carrying her on his back, the view over his shoulder of the sun inching inexorably down towards the horizon, glowing softly as the hypoxia set in. The fear and terror and the heavy weight of guilt, for falling, for trusting the rock to hold her.  - Bobbie and grief and love, in season five.

a terribly belated fandom auction gift for the very patient and amazing @moocowmoocow. 5.5k words of my Bobbie feels.

Love the latest Alex fic you posted! So delightful! If you’re still taking prompts, how about Nolden and 35?

AHHH THANK YOU!!! I AM ALWAYS TAKING PROMPTS I am also always working on prompts because I take forever!!!! So here is YOUR prompt fill! I wasn’t sure if I could pull of Angst with S3 just slapping me with it SO I hope this vibe is okay! And the last bit is inspired by this art by @theninjazebra!

35. “You don’t deserve this.”

Naomi’s still sleeping when Jim climbs out of bed with a soft groan. He’s not quite ready to be awake yet, but given his body couldn’t come to an agreement on whether or not he could fall back asleep curled up against his warm, snoozing partner, he figures he could at least go get some coffee for the both of them for when she does wake up. It takes him a moment to find and pull on his boots, his old Tycho shirt, but once he does he shuffles out of the room, doing his best to make as little noise as possible.

The gentle percolating sounds filtering from the machine, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filling the galley start to perk him up, his body responding to the prospect of “coffee soon”. When his bulb is full of what he considers “liquid gold”, he turns to grab the other bulb, and finds Miller watching him.

“Nope,” Holden starts, holding a finger up to the apparition or whatever it calls itself. “You will not speak to me until I’ve had my coffee.”

It scoffs. “But you’re going back in to Naomi, which means—”

“Ah, ah, ah!” He wags his finger, not looking at It, focussing on making Naomi’s cup. “Coffee now, talk later.”

The spectre grumbles, hovering in his peripheral. But it does what he says. He makes her coffee without further interruption—three whites, no sugar—and carries both bulbs out of the galley, making sure to give Miller a smug look before passing into the hall. He’s won this round. He might not win the next. He’ll enjoy the victory while he can.

“Call Bobbie,” Avasarala hissed. “Call her right now. She can’t have gone that far.”

“Trust me, I wish Babs were here right now to fuck these assholes up. I think I have a plan, though.”

Chapter 2 is up, at long last!

[little-brisk-archive]

for the three sentence fic: bobbie/chrisjen ('&' very much an option as well) + wearing armor (either literally or metaphorically, go wild)

The soldiers all arrayed across the parade field, hardware glinting in the hard winter sun, stand to attention for the anthem, then fall as one into rest with the soft sigh of a thousand boots falling in unison on the dark, dense earth.

Bobbie stands at ease, too, out of habit and because once she’s noticed she’s doing it it’s too late, and as she watches the first young Marine step up to the center of the stage for his Commander in Chief to pin a medal to his breast, she longs to be him, a longing she feels as the absence on her hips of the weight of a cavalry sword.

Tonight, when all the pomp and ceremony is done, she’ll be alone with the Commander in Chief, she’ll undress her like a squire disarming her knight, until she’s not a queen or commander or even a knight anymore, only Chrisjen, her Chrisjen, with her bare hands on Bobbie’s bare skin, a greater distinction than any she’s ever earned in the field—but standing in the January wind, for one sharp treasonous moment Bobbie knows she’d trade that private honor for the two public minutes it takes for those same hands to fix a bar of brass, a ribbon, a cross to the stiff and camphor-smelling wool of an ordinary soldier’s old dress coat.

[and-they-were-crewmates]

Chapter 24 is a weird sex sandwich with fluff bread. I thought there were going to maybe be 25 chapters in this fic but oops! definitely more.

[and-they-were-crewmates]

We once again reach a pretty solid place to end but Cam chooses not to do so. Chapter 26.

Holden insists that he and Amos are not having sex. They just put their dicks in each other, every once in a while. It’s not a whole thing. Until it is. Holden comes to term with his own feelings and Amos’s as truths are revealed.
