    Summary

    A Radiostatic AU. Vox is an anxious nobody at the bottom of Hell's corporate food chain - an IT worker, stuck in the basement floor of Hell's biggest and most powerful company. He's accepted his fate, as dull and uneventful as it may be, even if - in the quiet hours of the night - he secretly longs for more. But when Vox catches the eye of the company's magnetically charming CEO, Alastor, and is offered the role of assistant, everything begins to change.

    An unconventional love story exploring the intense relationship between a dominant and his TV-headed submissive, how power and control can provide care and relief, and how two demons, both carrying private torments, might find healing in each other - against all odds.

    ...And maybe violate workplace conduct in the process.

    Summary

    When Husk opened his eyes, there was no sign of injury. His fur was unmarked, his hands clear of wounds. He didn't even taste any copper, nothing to stain his teeth with.

    But when he looked around, he saw prison bars trapping him. Except. They weren't metal bars. They were curved and white. Half-broken. A wrong step, and he'd impale himself on their sharp ends. This cage was incomplete. Fragile. He could step out if he really wanted to.

    Husk could feel Alastor breathing around him. He could feel the pulse of a meaty heart by his shoulder. He could feel the blood coursing around him, veins moving like the boughs of a tree. Husk reached out his hand to one of those curved ribs, enclosing it in his grip.

    He’d never been this close to anyone before.

    Or, how a day in a nightmare bayou with Alastor leads to Husk discovering something new about himself.

    Summary

    Cat grinned, mischief sparking. “Gotham holds plenty of bachelor auctions concerning you, Mr. Wayne, but tonight the big draw is Superman. Any jealousy over his harem? It might rival yours.”

    “Jealousy?” Bruce’s smile sharpened. “Not at all. If I had the chance, I’d join the harem myself.”

    -----

    Where Bruce Wayne wins an auction for three dates with Superman. For charity...or maybe for other reasons.

    Summary

    If there is a god, Bruce has met him, and he wears silly bright blue spandex and brandishes his family crest across his chest like a lighthouse lamp.

    And if there is a god, there’s a hell that Bruce must be ready for.

    So, he keeps his contingencies, and he keeps his kryptonite, and he keeps metas out of Gotham. And if he keeps Clark a little too close, it's out of care. Because Batman is careful, and Bruce is scared.

    But, beneath his fear, there is the knowledge that, deep down, Clark is a good person.
    And, deep down, Bruce is not.

    Or: an exploration of Bruce’s feelings toward Clark (and the inevitable consequences of falling in love with your narrative foil).

    (P.S. I can’t believe “If Clark wanted to, he could use his superspeed and squish me into the cement. But I know how he thinks. Even more than the kryptonite, he's got one big weakness. Deep down, Clark's essentially a good person... and deep down, I'm not.” is a real actual line from Batman: Hush. It’s just so perfect. It’s so longing. It’s what this entire fic is about. I plagiarized it in the summary.)
