    Summary

    "I don't know how you landed such a lovely girl, Wednesday, but you had better not lose her!"

    Wednesday stares blankly at her mother and blinks as she tries to parse the words.

    Land… a lovely girl? Lose her? Her? Enid?

    She knows that Enid has an agreeable temperament and people gravitate towards her— even the more anti-social sorts like herself. "Lovely" would not be an inaccurate description of her roommate. As for losing her, they are on excellent terms as roommates and even as… well, friends.

    "You need not fear any such thing happening. Is that all?"

    "You could learn a thing or two from your wife, you know that?"

    It is Enid that spits out her drink at her mother's strange words.

    "What???"

    "Have you finally lost it, Mother?"

    "That's what I want to ask you, you ridiculous girl!"

    "Huh? What do you—"

    "When were you going to tell me you two got married?"

    Wednesday and Enid wake up one morning and discover that they are married now.

    Summary

    Tonight was to be the first Friday Alastor had spent in the hotel since Charlie and Vaggie had discovered his unfortunate night-time extracurricular activities.

    Prior to that untimely discovery of what he might argue was simply Radio Demon enrichment, he had spent his Fridays in the staff parlour, usually in the company of Angel Dust whilst they critiqued the dancers on Vox’s show. Though he had spoken to Angel more than a few times since everything had happened, he still wasn’t completely sure where he stood with the man.

    At least nobody had insisted he apologise to Angel – because where would he even start? Should he be apologising for trying to kill his friend – or for not trying to kill him?

    Summary

    After accepting Lucifer's proposition, Alastor's arrangement with the King has evolved into something far more intimate than they ever imagined. Whatever this is, both are willing to put in the work to make it through any emerging obstacles.

    What Alastor hadn't expected was for said pesky obstacles to come from outside their little bubble, or for them to involve the lingering ghosts of his previous relationship.

    Summary

    “Look, I know it’s difficult for you, but try not to piss off the King of Hell for ten minutes, maybe?” Vox muttered as they approached the pair. Alastor let out a derisive snort, feedback ringing in the air around him.

    “This coming from the man who tried to electrocute him? I dropped a piano on him, Picture Box, and he jumped up and started playing the accordion. I’ve no idea what you thought your little lightning trick was going to do,” Alastor shot back, voice low. He kept his back straight, resisting the urge to adjust the straps over his chest, even though one of them felt like it was shifting over his bony ribs. They couldn’t afford to show the least bit of weakness – not now.

    “You – what?” Vox frowned.

    Summary

    Anomalies found? Could that be any less helpful? My fucking blood is full of anomalies, that’s what you get for spending your formative years in Crime Alley.” And that was in addition to the regular miscellaneous cocktail of toxins and poisons residing in the blood of every Gothamite. That shit was, literally, in the water.

    “The analysis is configured for each individual,” Bruce grunted, obviously annoyed by the implied disparagement of his systems. Before Jason could reply, he pushed some buttons. A graph opened, zooming into Jason’s results.

    “Substance unknown,” Tim said as all of them stared at it. “And the concentration is very high.”

    Okay, fine, maybe that was bad.

    ***
    Jason had no idea how bad. He really should've just left.

    Summary

    She watched as her father climbed up the steps to stand by the unfamiliar man. They stood there somewhat awkwardly, unsure of themselves and waiting for her to take the lead. Suddenly it became clear to her. He was carrying an infant. It was wrapped in two layers of clothing, one dark navy and the other a paler, blue-grey violet plaid, held securely in his arms, his hand peeling from sunburn and familiarly stained, the sides of his fingernails caked in old blood. The heavy smell of motor oil and tires hung over him. He was somewhat unshaven above the upper lip. Trying to smile.

    “Come in,” She said, feeling as though she was seeing an unbearably bright mirage. “-please come in.”

    Summary

    Whilst some may claim that happiness could only be found by ridding oneself of distraction, Alastor found himself seeking out more and more things to do with his time as the day wore on, the hour drawing ever closer to the time Vox would visit and they would need to discuss all that was said the previous night.

    All that Alastor had said.

    He still couldn't quite believe he'd revealed his entire hand so easily – it was a good thing he had never been tempted by gambling. Or perhaps he would have done well? His poker face was stellar, so as long as he kept his mouth shut and didn't let thoughts of Vox make him say or do anything completely foolish, he might just clean up.

    Summary

    Alastor had a plan.

    Well – the bare bones of one, anyway.

    Gone were the days when he wanted nobody to find out what he'd been doing. Despite the fact that he'd already been alive – well, in a manner of speaking – for an impressively long time, longer than most demons lasted in Hell...

    He found he'd quite like to continue existing, thank you very much.

    Now, all he needed to do was pick up his phone, call the number Vox had given him, and ask the man to come over.

    Summary

    Alastor at the table, and pulled out his third purchase of the evening – a book with a cheery yellow cover, the words 'TV Maintenance for Beginners' printed in bold black font across the front of it.

    With a static filled sigh, he flipped open the book to the first diagram, a frown line immediately creasing his brows as he rechecked the cover, double checking that this was, in fact, written in English.

    This all looked... incredibly complicated.

    Summary

    Batman and his ilk were notoriously, fastidiously, pathologically private people.
    It was a well known fact, practically a law of the universe.
    Which was why Conner was having an incredibly difficult time with the request being made of him.
    "Sorry, you want me to what?" Conner's disbelief was potent enough to overrule his well-learned fear of Batman almost entirely.
    "Red Robin is in a compromised state." Batman's tone was as stony as ever, his form looming and intimidating as he spoke to Conner. "He has . . . made it clear to me that you are his . . . preferred avenue of rectifying the situation."

    Or; Red Robin gets dosed with sex pollen and asks Batman to ask Conner to help him out ;)

    Summary

    “Why?” Giyuu croaked out.

     

    Why did you help me? Why did you let me in, hold me, patch me up? Why did you give me a gentleness I’ve never seen before. And how- how am I supposed to live without it after?"

     

    or,

     

    On an unlucky snowy night, Giyuu gets badly injured. Tired, dizzy, and bleeding, he stumbles across none other than the wind hashira's estate- Sanemi Shinazugawa. Despite his apparent dislike for the water hashira, he was determined not to let him die. No other reason, just because of his moral duty...or so he thought.
