Summary: Thomas and Biff decide to declare who's alpha male in the traditional masculine fashion: football.
Notes: I needed to clean out my brain after the heavy duty D:-fest that is 'After the Fall.' So, silly crack.

Thomas's Adventures in Treehouse
What was Thomas up to before Raige and M.D. showed up?

Through the World-Hole: Strong-Legs first meets Thomas when he's confused, bedraggled, and stranded in another world.
A Clean Citizen is a Good Citizen: Thomas discovers that the concept of a private bathroom is not a universal one. Sketch
A Mountain of Afterfood: Thomas’s Treehouse neighbors discuss his people’s mysterious pooping habits.
Carrying the Dead: Thomas is new to Treehouse, and he plans to spend Dia de los Muertos alone and miserably homesick. The citizens of Treehouse decide not to let this happen. Illustration
The Ride Home: Still adjusting to Treehouse, Thomas deals with a labor dispute and some weird relationship dynamics that he doesn't underand with his co-worker, Strong-Legs. Illustration.
Savaged by Garbage: Thomas gets a job cleaning out a home violating Treehouse sanitation norms, and realizes the situation is way worse than he realized.

AUs, Asides, and Other Snippets
This is for all the Infinity Smashed stories which aren't involved in the main plotline. Some of them are AUs, some of them focus on minor characters, and some of them just take place so far outside the time period in the main plot that I felt they might be distracting.

Raige Expressions: Random drawings of Raige's face. Art
City Girl: Frances Bertelli loves her city, and it loves her back. A love letter to Vaygo, through the point of view of Biff's not-landlady.
The Strength of Chains: Number One likes weapons.
6 Times Raige Fell For M.D. What it says on the tin. (Sprawls ALL across the timeline of Book One.) sketch
Unstable Housing: M.D. has had a colorful, erratic history of housing over the years, but nothing that's safe, functional, and reliable. What is 'home' for her, and how does she find it when she's not even sure what it means? Bonus sketch!
Infinity Smashed Death Machine: (AU) Done in respect to the Machine of Death anthology. What if the main cast of Infinity Smashed lived in a world where they could find out how they were going to die?
Personal Space Invaders: M.D. meets her big sister Inanna... and she has platform heels and a big sword. For the "5 Cliche Challenge" prompt of 'Mary Sue.' (AU)
That Time The Zombies Invaded: Texas is a terrible place to stage a zombie apocalypse. For the "5 Cliche Challenge" prompt of 'zombie apocalypse.' Sketch (AU)
Wholesome Recreation: Thomas gives M.D. grief about her and Biff's preferred methods of recreation. (AU)
Struck (AU) An experiment in ubersquickery. Biff/M.D., which is really all you need to know.
The Gold Rings: Grey's job is the most important thing in the world to her. (AU)
Life Choices II: Biff and M.D. talk about self-harm and suicide.  As long as they give each other shit about it and act like they don't care, that makes it okay, right? (This one is locked, because it's very old and I dunno that it's even canon.  If you want access, ask for it.)
Not Built to Last: M.D. plans the end of her life.


Giant Robots 'Verse
A fanfiction crossover between Infinity Smashed and Pacific Rim, where M.D. and Biff drive giant robots and punch giant monsters for the good of the world. M.D.'s health has failed and she relies on medication and crutches to get around; Biff is arguably more healthy than he is in the straight IS universe. You can read more extended notes about this setting here, and get the spoiler-free Pacific Rim crash course here.

Everlasting Summer: The world is ending, and the Pons System gets put on the fast track to development. Corners get cut, and M.D. gets... stuck. Warning: this is a body horror story involving medical abuse.
Feet On The Ground: M.D. and Biff were convenient guinea pigs to fine-tune the early Drift mechanism. They weren't expected to ever see action, never mind survive it... Sketch
The Dark of Winter: Before the PIN can catch up to them, Biff and M.D. dash to Jaeger Academy, in Alaska. In January. M.D.'s health doesn't take it well.
The Pharmacopoeic Rainbow: M.D. goes off her meds.
Sturm und Drang: The PPDC sees M.D. as either a mascot or an embarrassment. She fights both.
On a Dirt-Bike Made For Two: It's spring at the Jaeger Academy, and M.D. and Biff are desperate to get outside. Too bad April on Kodiak Island is also known as ‘ice rink season.'
Cigarette Break: Summer has come to the Jaeger Academy, and Biff and M.D. share a cigarette on the roof. They also meet Mako Mori.
Virus Factory: M.D. and Biff are pilots now, but they have no Jaeger. Then everyone catches the flu but still has to deal with a creeping, tentacled menace from the deep.
Someone To Blame: M.D. and Biff inherit a Jaeger, and then a position.
The Flesh Is Weak: When M.D.'s plugged into a Jaeger, she's joyous.
Drown: The apocalypse hits, and no matter what happens, Biff and M.D.'s giant robot is going to be left at the bottom of the ocean. M.D. just assumes she'll go down with it, but Biff isn't going for it.
