Summary
The young man stared at him, shocked.
"You... don't you remember me?" he asked, finding it simply inconceivable.
And Lance, in other circumstances, would have been amused by that reaction, but there was a little girl he had to bring back to her mother; he hadn't slept for almost twenty-seven hours and needed a break.
"No, dude, now if you want to excuse me..."
The boy turned Lance to him, their faces a short distance away, purple eyes fixed on his, and Lance's treacherous heart skipped a beat.
"Blue Spirit, I'm Red Warrior. Do you really not remember me?"
At that point, Lance began to break out in a cold sweat. Of course, he couldn't remember him. Lance wasn't the real one.
(In which, due to a stupid stunt, the seventeen-year-old Lance dies and finds himself in the body of a villain of his best friend's favourite graphic novel, trying not to attract too much attention. Too bad for Lance, Keith doesn't make things easy for him at all.)

Summary
A shared yearning turns into a shared connection and a shared pain, when Dr. Whitaker and Dr. "Robby" lose a patient together. Dennis hides an undiagnosed illness and grapples with intimacy issues rooted in his religious trauma, while Robby struggles with insecurity and emotional immaturity... basically Robby just wants to take care of Den and vice versa but neither of them know how to be loved so it takes a while.
Set at S2 of The Pitt but not very canon-compliant...
I kind of explore my own experience of asexuality and religious trauma here, so the title and chapter titles of the fic come from one of my favorite songs, Leith Ross's "We'll never have sex." Enjoy the angst, enjoy the fluff, enjoy the (eventual and earned) smut.

Summary
He sighed to himself and downed the glass of champagne he'd been nursing—non-alcoholic, but enough to convince anyone who might give him a passing glance. He hated this, every time he had to do it. There was one surefire way to derail anyone who began wondering whether maybe Bruce Wayne was doing more than just donating funds to Batman.
His tie hung loose around his neck, shirt unbuttoned to halfway down his chest, laughing too easily, pressing close to everyone he spoke to, whispering in ears, playing the part, until he turned and froze on the spot.
Clark Kent, in his signature ill-fitting suit, stood holding a notebook and pen, staring at him with barely-concealed glee.
Bruce cringed internally. He hated this. He especially hated when it had to be witnessed by someone he actually respected.
or: After a Gala, Bruce and Clark end up in bed together. They're friends, just helping each other out, no strings attached. Which would be great, if Bruce hadn't been halfway to head-over-heels since the day they met.

Summary
When Hawks presented as an Omega, he was force-bonded to a Commission Alpha to mask his scent and pass him off as a Beta. He rose in the ranks, and was eventually assigned the critical mission of infiltrating the League of Villains, which led him to Dabi.
Dabi had been in love with Hawks since they were kids. He knew it was dangerous to keep the hero around, but his inner Prime Alpha just wouldn't let him go. He hadn’t even known Hawks was an Omega, let alone a bonded one, so when he killed a corrupt Commission Alpha, and Hawks started to die, too, Dabi panicked and bonded the Omega in hopes that overwriting the bond would save his life.
In the aftermath, they're stuck navigating a haphazard bond built on a relationship that has never been anything but turbulent as long as they've known each other. It's rocky, but it's a worthwhile feat, and they're determined to make it work.

Summary
Hilda’s life was never the same once she moved to Trolburg. Though she tried to make the best of it, something was off, missing. No matter the effort, there was a slow decay eating at everything. Despite her trying, the river of fate constantly dashed her upon the rocks of upheaval around each unseen bend in her life. Something simmered there, below the surface, dark and sinister, clinging like a curse. One that was spreading. First her mum and the loss of her love, then her new dad and the wedge he was driving between them. Then Hilda turned eighteen. A day that should have been an exciting celebration, turned to horror as she learned the truth about the family duty that her mum was only too eager to share.
Fighting to regain her mother’s love and hells bent on breaking her horrid cycle of domination, Hilda now has to navigate a whole new world. One full of secrets, unforeseen consequences, self loathing, and loathsome creatures. One where she must come to terms with the revelation that her body is no longer entirely her own, that her friends are more complicated than she knew, and that some men are far more dangerous than she ever thought possible.

Summary
Consider this The Circus 1.5 - Starting with what happened when Blitzø got home from Stolas's on the day they met.
Setting up a bunch of themes I hope to explore in this story: Family, Jealousy, Self-Worth and Reclaiming One's Identity, The Comfortable Lies We Tell Ourselves (for better or worse), What We Do With Our (Limited) Time, and The Incendiary Chain of One Person Inspiring Another.
All of the content warnings from the show apply. This first chapter is fairly safe and fluffy. But I hope to dig into more mature themes as I go.

"So You've Made Several Decisions You'll Definitely Regret Later," by Greed the Avaricious by Silvex

Summary
Ling probably shouldn't feel so safe with the thing that took over his body, given how it keeps calling him its possession, talks about things it shouldn't know, and, oh, told everyone that he was dead while he was unconscious. He just... feels like he should, for some reason. If the two of them actually talked about it, maybe he'd be able to figure it out.
Greed would have preferred it if his third(?) chance at life had just picked up where his second left off, but this works, too. Sort of. He might be making things a lot worse for himself, actually, but let's not think about that.
Lan Fan's prince has been taken from her, swallowed up by one of the monsters they were trying to capture. Accompanied by a woman who claims to have lost her own friend to the monster, she swears revenge. It would be a nice sentiment if anyone actually needed to be avenged, but as it is, it's just causing more problems.

Summary
Lee Minho thought he’d buried his first, and only, love along with the life he never got to have. Five years later, he’s a single father doing his best to keep things under control because that’s what survival looks like now.
Han Jisung left Korea to make a name for himself in Los Angeles and never really came back. Fame didn’t fix what he broke, and distance didn’t erase the boy he loved or the child he never met. When he returns, it isn’t for closure—it’s because pretending everything is fine has finally stopped working.
Reuniting means facing everything they avoided: the past, the hurt, and the love that never went away. With a child in the middle and no room left for running, Minho and Jisung have to decide whether they’re brave enough to start again, knowing that this time, staying will cost more than leaving ever did.
Like their songs, Minho and Jisung’s story was never finished.
