    Summary

    Tim Drake is an adult. He has his own suit, his own name, his own place in the world. Everything he ever wanted. But missions no longer fulfill him. Wayne Enterprises keeps him busy, and the Nest feels emptier than ever.

    Something inside him knows that if he keeps on this way, he won't be around much longer. And if he's honest with himself, he's not sure that bothers him.

    Or, Tim Drake made a mistake, and he doesn't know how to forgive himself. But he has too many siblings and friends to help him.

    Summary

    Jack Marston returns from serving in WW1. However, he doesn't return to the lonesome home he knew. Instead, he travels to Atlantic City, in hopes of finding a better, honest life for himself.

    Soon, Jack runs into a friend he served with in the war, Jimmy Darmody, who offers to help him make good money, through bootlegging. Though, Jack doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his outlaw father. So, instead, Jimmy sets Jack up to be the driver for his mother, Gillian. A woman, who proves to be charming, classy, beautiful, and tempting. Far more than Jack bargained for.

    Now Jack must battle with the guilt of having an affair with this stunning temptress, while also trying to keep his nose clean. A feat that proves near impossible in this city of vices.

    (Crossover of Boardwalk Empire and Red Dead Redemption. Takes place after the first Red Dead Redemption game.)

    Summary

    "Don't be fucking emotional over this," Rin hissed, eyes narrowing to Reo's trembling body. Reo answered with a chuckle and his hands wiped his tears away.

    "Shut up," Reo snickered with a roll of the eyes. "Two years since the last time we saw each other and you ask me to not be emotional? Don't be stupid, Rin."

    Summary

    A year after the war, the wizarding world is still reeling between grief and fragile reconstruction. The newly-formed Auror division faces its most brutal case yet: a single creature, ravenous and merciless, leaving nothing but torn bodies and panic in its wake.

    Harry, Hermione, and Ron are sent to hunt the monster. But the deeper they chase, the clearer it becomes that this is no mindless beast. The creature hesitates. Watches. Fights with purpose. Almost as if there’s something human left inside.

    The Ministry demands blood. The Aurors must obey. But not every monster is just a monster.

    Summary

    Chan’s voice always sounds a little higher, a little chipper in the morning, even when he keeps it levelled and quiet around Minho. He doesn’t know when he started noticing that as the day goes by, Chan’s voice tends to wear in pitch, clear when he leads the kitchen, then a low, tired hum once the night comes to a close. A slow, tantalizing descending slope. Then the next day comes, and Minho anticipates his bright, morning tone, all over again. Rinse, repeat.

    Minho never meant to become chef de cuisine, but somehow, it just turned out that way—him and his friends, coming together, with him at the centre of it, Chan at his side.

    Summary

    Carys is a runner, always leaving one self-made disaster for the next. After hesitantly accepting a room & board position at an organic farm, she expects to spend her days elbow deep in dishwater and picking bugs off produce. She isn't expecting Jack, fat, curly-haired, and a little bit standoffish, to disrupt her peace. As the weeks fly by in a whirl of longing glances and mounting tension, Carys feels her resolve to stay professional weaken, and Jack begins to wonder if the new cook isn't trying to add to his waistline.

    Summary

    Rody should recoil. Should resist. But instead, he lets out a laugh — a sharp, broken thing.

    “You’re a bastard.”

    And Vincent smirks, satisfied. “Maybe, that’s what it takes.”

    Rody looks at him and for a second, he sees it — that same frantic hunger, that visceral need that has been plaguing him. Unsated. And it’s not soft nor gentle, but it’s real.

     

    or, a somewhat horror, dark romance, slow-burn-ish, trauma-bonding fic with a splash of civil unrest and culinary homicide.

    Using a dead mans calculus was an incomplete method, and fundamentally flawed approach to balance such an important equation. Seto should have realized it sooner.

    Summary

    “Isn’t there anything more detestable to God than a lover who does not risk their life for their beloved?” Hannibal asks, so casually, as if just making polite conversation—the same polite conversation that will bury her six feet under. “Some people say that is why Orpheus did not make it out of Hades with Persephone. He dared come in there alive.”

    Hannibal, Bedelia and Will discuss the nature of desire over Bedelia’s leg. At the end, they learn that desire will always leave you hungry.

     

    Heavily inspired by Anne Carson's "Eros, the Bittersweet."
