Summary
"That fucking chin dimple," Santos had scoffed upon falling into her seat. Mel didn’t think much at first, just cracked open her seltzer. "No idea how many times I’ve pictured riding it to shut him up."
(or, Mel bluescreens when confronted with the idea of Frank's chin dimple pressed to a certain part of her body)

Summary
Bucky does not waver, will not doubt. In his dreams, his hair falls to his shoulders, braided like a woman’s, and he feels his breath come more deeply than anything he takes while waking.
Helio’s light is that which bleaches the fields, which burns the unholy, which demands he stand as upright and exemplary as any paladin, that he not doubt. No matter that he has lied to his parents. No matter that Kristen was — nice to him, almost, even if her words were riddled with sin, even if she delighted in profanity, even if the twilight that suffused her was so cool it almost felt like relief. Even if she looked at Bucky like he was still just a kid, not almost the man of the house, not the eldest child now that — well. — like he was still growing, becoming, changing. No. Helio demanded that he stand tall, now, unwavering. Like one more corn stalk in that empty, holy field.
Bucky Applebees, on doubt, which is hope, which is freedom.
(The "Bucky as paladin of Cassandra" fic.)

Summary
“I could devour you,” Samiel says gently, and Jay can feel the heat of his words sinking into his translator. “Won't you let me, pretty human? I'd make it ever so good for you.” His voice is intimate, filthy; that of a lover. Of a predator that has caught its prey.
Or:
Wing Commander Jason Lane is doing his best. He's got a political coup to stop; a peace treaty to negotiate; half a planet out to kill him and - oh yes, Samiel.
Always, Samiel.

Summary
Batman's heartbeat keeps speeding up whenever Clark is around. For instance: when Clark greets him, half-naked, on a Gotham rooftop. Or when he uses his superstrength to save a busload of schoolchildren. Or sometimes even just when he smiles.
Clearly the poor man is terrified of him.

Summary
The media has always been wary of Harry Osborn. He grew up as modern royalty, rich and famous and son to a greedy billionaire tech mogul, which didn't paint the most sympathetic picture. He's too posh, too surly, too serious.
And then there is Peter. The orphan kid from Brooklyn Tony Stark adopted as his heir, the charming, upbeat young man with a tragic backstory, with the kind of rags-to-riches story the media fell in love with. He’s a genius, but he’s humble, and he’s handsome, but not in the waifish-Victorian-orphan way that Harry has going for him, but in a classic, American, boy-next-door way.
With a dichotomy like that, with Norman and Tony Stark’s famous feuds back in the nineties, and with Stark Industries and Oscorp being the top tech innovators in the game, it’s only natural that Harry Osborn and Peter Stark be rivals. It's a good story. Harry can't even blame the tabloids. Peter makes sense as the hero, and if that makes Harry the villain, then so be it.

No superheroes AU where Peter Stark is supposed to be Harry's rival, but Peter Parker has always been something else.
