    Summary

    You can't blame psychics for being cryptic but John really wishes this particular conduit for the forces of reality hadn't called in the middle of his Justice League debrief.

    In which DCU characters are faced with the truth about the Hellblazer's very Vertigo life and almost everyone has something to say on the subject of John Constantine.

    And the Swan Alignment is just a myth, right?

    A longfic following the Flufftober 2022 Prompt List, with a side of hurt/comfort and epic fantasy romance.

    Summary

    “Doubt thou the stars are fire / Doubt that the sun doth move / Doubt truth to be a liar / But never doubt I love.”
    — Shakespeare: Hamlet

    On a beautiful summer’s night, as if fated, Steve Rogers crosses paths with a supernova of a woman: Dr. Gracelynn Fey, luminous and brilliant and lethal. Their encounter is a stellar collision that sets in motion a chain of events that rocks the very foundations of the known world.

    In a universe much more vast and stranger than anyone ever thought, they’ll have to learn to rely on each other — wits and gifts and weirdness and all — to keep said world on its rails. And perhaps, their incendiary connection not a destructive but necessary force: the gravity that binds two fumbling stars irrevocably together.

    Summary

    X stares at the reploid before him – the first outside visitor in a long time - for nearly forty seconds. A quick self-diagnostic reports that X’s hearing is fine, which means he really did just hear that.
    In neutral tones, he repeats,” You want to have sex.”

    In which X tries very, very hard to gift the reploid race an opportunity to experience the more physical side of human love and suffers inconveniences along the way.

    Edit: Now has fanart embedded!

    Summary

    Everyone assumed Midoriya Izuku didn't have a quirk.

    Sure, he had the right conditions for it- he had the single pinky toe joint, both his parents had quirks, CT scans of his brain showed a definite quirk factor- but it didn't do anything. Nothing Izuku did would make it trigger. So he, and everyone else around him, assumed he didn't have one, and he was a quirkless kid with a 18 carat run of bad luck.

    But he did, and it was active. Subconsciously controlling technology that in no conceivable reality should be present on Earth, calling it to him.

    Ten months before the U.A. Entrance Exam, it arrives. With an unexpected passenger.

    Summary

    Every choice, even the most minute one, has consequences.

    Steve Rogers chose Bucky Barnes over not only Tony Stark, but the rest of the entire world as well, and he stubbornly stuck to his choice well past the point of no return.

    Leaving Siberia behind him with Bucky finally at his side, Steve foolishly thought all the consequences of his choice had been dealt with. He couldn't even begin to fathom the immensity of the butterfly effect that the events of Siberia would have caused. Nobody could know at that time, but from the moment Tony Stark finally woke up in the Avengers Compound's infirmary with Extremis running in his veins, the entire universe would never be the same again.

    Summary

    Shadow the Hedgehog was designed to protect humanity. Metal Sonic was built to destroy Sonic the Hedgehog. By all accounts, they should be two sides of the same coin; creations of mankind with an intended designation.

    However, there is one thing that separates them: autonomy.

    Shadow must endure the task to give Metal the freedom he deserves, and Metal must endure the task of finding out who he really is. The only thing stopping them is a vindictive enemy that the two of them have seemingly met before...

    Summary

    The Enterprise felt wrong without him.

    Not just quieter — wrong.
    The hum of the warp core still resonated through Geordi’s bones the way it always had, but now it sounded off, like a familiar melody played one half-tone too low. The corridors seemed longer. The lights harsher. The air colder.
    __________

    Or, it's after Nemesis and Geordi gets consumed by the thought of bringing Data back.

    Summary

    A MDZS Science Fiction AU flavoured slice of fic.

    The Wen have moved against both the Lan and Jiang Sects. Cloud Recesses has fallen victim to their new weapon the Sun Striker, while Lotus Pier has been subjugated. The members of the Lan and Jiang Sects are adrift, hiding in the shadows while Wen Ruohan establishes himself as Emperor in the Imperial Senate. Across the galaxy, safety becomes an illusion.

    Lan Wangji is out patrolling along the edges of what had been considered Gusu Lan space when he receives a broken distress call. Code Black - the most urgent call that can be made, yet there is no locator beacon attached. Buried underneath the surface is another message, one that sparks hope that maybe everything has not been lost.

     

    The signal is weak, crackling with static, and of unknown origin.
    Still, there is something different about this message.
    Lan Wangji can almost feel it.
