    Summary

    Hua Cheng has wanted Dianxia for so long he doesn’t know how to survive knowing that Dianxia is his at long last. Worse still, Dianxia doesn’t seem to have any interest in consummating their relationship, leaving Hua Cheng in the midst of his greatest trial yet: keeping his lust from consuming them whole.

    But a gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials - and after everything, Hua Cheng will not let this trial be the one that defeats him.

    Summary

    "Were you aware that LuthorCorp was using Wayne technology in their illegal weapons programs?"

    For the first time, Bruce looked genuinely surprised. "Those contracts were terminated."

    "When? Before or after Luthor's crimes became public?"

    Bruce was quiet for a long moment, his fingers drumming against the arm of his chair. "I'd have to check with our legal department about the specific timeline."

    "So you don't know?"

    Bruce was silent.

    Gotham's drowning, Batman's bleeding, and a nosy reporter won't stop asking why.

    Three years after the flood, a rot festers, born from the stragglers of Riddler's movement.

    The Sons of Gotham, neo-Nazis with mysteriously deep pockets, rise from the grime. Bruce bleeds for a city that keeps sinking.

    Enter Clark Kent: infuriatingly earnest, maddeningly handsome, and asking questions Bruce can't answer.

    When threats grow too big for one city, Batman reluctantly teams up with Superman. Saving Gotham wasn't hard.

    Letting someone help? Letting someone in? Easier said than done.

    Summary

    “Come on, Scully. I’m a single man with a dangerous job. I carry a gun for a living. I disappear without notice. I sleep on couches and in motels and occasionally in our office. I don’t exactly scream stable home environment.”

    “Yes, you scream questionable life choices and no experience with children–”
    He snorted. 
    “—But you also scream resilient. And protective. And incapable of walking away from someone who needs you.”

     

     

    Mulder and Scully’s partnership deepens even further when Mulder petitions to adopt his biological niece.

    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)
