    Summary

    Waking up in the middle of the country wasn't on anyone's to-do list. Especially when Peter had no idea how he got there or what the mysterious red and blue suit in his backpack was.

    But it turns out there are some people in Smallville who don’t mind helping out a stranger.

    Summary

    Jake Lockley loves his job. Like, seriously. He gets to drive fast cars, drink good liquor, and get paid the big bucks. Also, kill people. Objectively awesome stuff. What else could a guy possibly need?

    In which being the only alter with half a brain cell can get pretty boring when you haven't got anyone to share it with. And Jake has never been what anyone would call friend material.

    Meanwhile, Bob Reynolds is...adjusting. Seriously! He is. It's only that being the objectively craziest guy in a group of messed up ex-mercenaries and super soldiers can get kind of lonely, especially when one bad day might spell the end of New York as we know it. Also, there's only so many dishes he can do before he seriously starts to contemplate the merits of re-acquiring a drug habit. (It's not like it could kill him anymore, right? Haha. Kidding.)

    But Bob's doing fine! Honest. He doesn't need a friend. And he definitely doesn't need Jake Lockley.

    Summary

    His father's death was supposed to be the end of it. When they buried him, Chris buried his pain for the last time; but that much pain never stays buried for long. Days later, his father's lawyer shows up at Chris's door bearing an inheritance settlement and a threat: sign over ownership of his dad's house to the Aryan Empire, or be prepared to defend it. As Chris struggles with what this inheritance might imply about his father's feelings for him, Harcourt adds more pressure by forcing him to see a psychologist. Could renovating his dad's house, going to therapy, and confronting his increasingly complicated feelings for Adrian somehow finally be enough for Chris to find peace?

    Includes descriptions of child abuse and mental health struggles such as dissociation, depression, anxiety and panic attacks, repressed memories etc. Explicit M/M sexual content in future chapters.

    tl;dr - Chris goes to therapy and falls in love with Adrian.

    Summary

    There was something loose in Gotham City.

    Or at least that's the vibe Nero got from Dante who was being his usual snarky, cryptic self about it.

    Though if Nero ends up having his entire life upended by the guy again, he swears he's moving to Gotham to join the Bats. He's taking that damn sword with him, too.

    Or: pre-Luke Skywalker-ed Nero is set loose on Gotham, Yamato and all. Reports of a Robin with a bleached hair job have skyrocketed, Red Hood hasn't been seen in a month, Crime Alley's is slowly eating itself alive, and there's reports of earthquakes, weird plant life, and glowing blue monsters oozing green slime out and about. What's all that about...

    Summary

    "It really is so good to meet you, baby," she says, smiling tremulously at him. He can process hearing "baby" even less than he could "son". "I'm Martha Kent. This is my husband Jonathan. You can call us Ma and Pa, once you're comfortable with it."

    "What's your name, son?" the old guy–Jonathan, Superman tries to think, because thinking "Pa" sounds way too intimidating right now–Jonathan asks. Superman knows what he wants to say, but . . .

    But for the first time, saying "Superman" doesn't feel . . . honest.

    "Experiment Thirteen," he admits in a mutter, hiding his hands behind his back after all, and both Jonathan and Martha's faces tighten.
