Summary
Johnny Cooper is a roguish, impulsive, queer man and the youngest of the original L Detachment of the SAS. He's survived a hundred nights he shouldn't have. But in October of 1943 his number comes up. In saving his best friend, Reg Seekings from a shelled truck in Termoli, Italy, Johnny is hit in the back by a sniper. His injuries at Termoli are life changing. He finds himself near death, paralyzed from the chest down, and transported to Stoke Mandeville where he finds himself at the center of a medical revolution. Before now paralyzed men were left to die, but now under the care of Dr. Ludwig Guttmann he stands a fighting chance, not just of survival but recovery. Johnny's story follows the early days of the disability and queer rights movement, and the advent of the paralympic games. And yes, Johnny Cooper will be armed once more, just not quite in the way you might expect.

Summary
In 1929, on the unfortunate opening night of his opera, Erik did something he would have never thought possible: he let Christine go. He loved her far too much to force her to stay, even if it would break his heart to part with her. And so with Christine gone, his home trounced through by an angry mob, and his tenure as the Opera Ghost terminated, Erik thought his life was truly over.
He was wrong. As always, he’d managed to survive the disaster.
Now, it’s 1940 and Erik has since taken up residence in Hollywood, even having opened his own movie studio. But when Christine suddenly arrives in town, the past pervades the air like never before. Wounds long-closed are reopened. Secrets are revealed. The bonds of love are tested. And if all that wasn’t bad enough, Erik also has to deal with the fucking Hays Code.

Summary
These days, Jughead gets more questions about the Paladin case than the comics themselves. A couple years back, some kid at the Times dug up the newspaper records, wrote a retrospective: ‘The East Village Vanishings: 30 Years On’. The somewhat unfortunate photo she chose - of a disheveled, confused-looking Jughead and friends accosted on their way out of the police station, Betty’s eyes piercing the camera lens - ended up plastered across every page fifteen whose editor had taken a shine to their story. Strange as it is, with that kind of early beat generation, vintage charm.
In 1940, the Paladin, created by Jughead Jones and Cheryl Blossom, entered the pages of Lunar Comics. Just another superhero, perhaps, but a string of mysterious disappearances in real life New York begin to rival anything the two could write. -

Summary
New Orleans, 1944. Beau Graham is the patriarch of the most prosperous crime family the city has ever seen. He is known as Vidame Graham, the Parrain.
His oldest son, Brian, is next in line to take over the family business. Hotheaded but loyal, he will make a good Vidame. Much better than his vain brother Frederick, and certainly better than Will, the youngest, who has left the crime family to fight in WWII.
Hannibal Lecter is the family's consigliere, adopted as an orphan found wandering the streets of New Orleans. His brilliance has brought the family power and prosperity. While his intellect is vast, and his talents in finance, medicine, and law are unmatched, his true passion is violence - some done in the name of the Graham family, and some enjoyed as the Pontchartrain Ripper.
But murder and cannibalism are not Hannibal's darkest secrets. He's in love with his adoptive brother, Will, and fears for his safety fighting overseas.
Today is the day of Abigail Graham's wedding. At last, the Graham crime family will be reunited. Love and death are the great hinges upon which this epic saga turns.
TL;DR: Hannigram Godfather AU -- an offer you can't refuse...
