Summary
"If you ever make me stay behind again," Kaoru said, "you're going to be dead before you leave the city walls."
Kojiro smiled at him. It was a tired smile, edged with something that looked a little like desperation. "You're just too beautiful to take with me. It's distracting."
"I'm being serious, Kojiro."
"So am I." Kojiro sat up a little straighter, wincing as he jostled himself. "If you're on the battlefield, you're my priority. It doesn't matter what I'm there to do because at the end of the day, all that matters to me is keeping you safe."
Fantasy AU in which Kojiro is a soldier who hunts monsters and Kaoru is a healer.

Summary
The moment feels like it stretches forever. The realisation. The slow turn back to Kaoru. The way the blush rises to Kaoru's face, until it's entirely pink.
"Kaoru," Kojiro says, amazed at how even his voice is. "Are you wearing—?"
"Get out," Kaoru snaps, getting to his feet.
Kojiro discovers Kaoru's collection of princess plugs. Things spiral.

Summary
One of the waiters is bringing a tray over to their table, with two tall layered rainbow cocktails, while another is recording on a phone. Kaoru looks from them to Kojiro, who is also staring with his mouth open.
"We heard that you're on your honeymoon!" The waiter with the drinks announces, loud enough that several tables around them can hear. "We just wanted to give our congratulations to the newlyweds. I hope you enjoy your drinks!"
Kaoru and Kojiro lie about being on their honeymoon to get an upgrade on their cruise, and have to face the consequences.

Summary
“Fuck,” Kojiro mutters, feeling along the wall and trying door handles until he finds one that works. “Hurry. In here.”
He pushes Kaoru through the door first and pulls it shut behind him, expecting a room. Instead, he runs right into Kaoru. The faint purple glow coming off Carla lights up the storage closet that they’ve found themselves in. It’s empty, but it’s cramped. Kojiro is pressed up against Kaoru, chest to chest.
“Shit.”
A police patrol at S leads to Kojiro and Kaoru confronting things that they've been tiptoeing around for months.

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
After a failed attempt at living in Kansas, Kon-El is living alone in the Justice Cave with only a mattress and twenty cents to his name. That's completely fine in his books, and handouts from Robin are not appreciated in the slightest.
Thankfully for a concerned Robin, Tim Drake has plenty of money to help fund the young superhero in a completely innocent, platonic manner. He just needed to capture Superboy's attention for long enough to load him up with cash before the Kryptonian inevitably got bored.
It does not stay innocent or platonic for long, and Kon is far more interested than Tim could have imagined.

Summary
“Crowley is no longer affiliated with you.” The angel manages to sound indignant, of all things. “I—that is, he even got it in writing. Signed by three of Hell’s kings. It’s all very official.”
“Well, we’re not here in any official capacity,” Hastur says. “It’s more of a personal visit. Friendly chat, that sort of thing.”
If he was indignant before, Aziraphale is outright angry now. “You’re not his friends. You hurt him.”
“Of course we did,” Ligur says, as if the angel is particularly slow. And he might well be, if he needs this much spelled out. “We’re demons.”
“You tortured him,” Aziraphale presses, unrelenting.
“It’s Hell,” Hastur says impatiently. “It’s ninety-nine-percent torture on a slow day.”

Summary
A.Z. Fell, one of the most respected names in wine and food blogging, has been sent on assignment with his assistant Warlock Dowling to spend six months in California Wine Country. Under direction (by his boss, Gabriel) to use this experience to double his blog followers and write a novel, Aziraphale is both excited and anxious about the opportunity.
Anthony J. Crowley is the owner and viticulturalist of Ecdyses, a winery that unexpectedly fell into his lap eleven years ago when he hit rock bottom. He may be in debt, yeah, but he’s paying off his loans — and despite pressure from his lenders and their team of inspectors, Crowley has found a kind of contentment tending his little corner of terroir and producing extraordinary wine. Crowley’s old vines are the heart of his vineyard, and he’s never let anyone in.
Crowley finds Aziraphale intriguing; Aziraphale finds Crowley enthralling. Turns out a famous wine expert and an experienced viticulturalist can still learn things from each other. The summer of 2019 unfolds.

Summary
Nobody said traveling through time would be easy — nothing Wen Kexing has done has ever been easy — but A-Xu was dying. He was going to die.
If Wen Kexing could not save his A-Xu in the life they shared together, he would save him elsewhere in the past. And then some other version of them could live on, while this A-Xu and this Wen Kexing would stop existing. Would become something that never existed at all. If Wen Kexing did this right, he would die one day after — and some twenty years earlier than — his husband.
Only, A-Xu died and Wen Kexing didn't stop existing.
(Only — maybe A-Xu didn't die.)
