Summary
James Potter had been burned more times than he could count. It was expected as a firefighter, but he'd never really known the line between helping someone else and destroying himself in the process. Until it almost cost him his life, until he fell lower than he knew how to get back up. He'd learned his lesson since then, learned to slow down and breathe.
But history always seemed to repeat itself, especially when one flew near the stars.
Regulus Black was the kind of prince who didn't have a crown, the kind of resident surgeon who didn't know what the fuck he was doing there. He was legally an only child, his parents' last hope at carrying on the family legacy. Little by little, he had allowed himself to be buried alive until he could no longer breathe, and it wasn't his small, insignificant acts of rebellion that were going to unearth him.
He didn't really have much reason to fight anyway, until he remembered the warmth of the sun on his skin.
OR
This story begins like all the others: doctor meets firefighter, firefighter turns out to be the best friend of the doctor's estranged brother. They fall in love somewhere along the way.
(If only it were that easy.)

Summary
Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.
Faith.
His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.
"I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.
I remember you.
I remember you.
I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.
(A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)

Summary
“Sirius,” Remus said.
That was the only warning.
He said it softly, like a statement, almost casually– so casually that Sirius turned expecting him to ask something about what they were having for dinner, or telling him he wanted honey in his tea, or complain about how off brand sports-drink didn’t taste as good as Gatorade.
Instead, Remus’ knees were already buckling. His arm was sliding off of the granite corner of the countertop, and his shoulder was colliding with the barstool to his right, and his body was thudding against the hardwood, and the only warning Sirius got was his name. That was it.
He was moving before he even realized what was happening.

Summary
“Could I get a name for the order?” Marlene asked.
“Serious,” the man replied. “Like the star,” he clarified, and Remus mentally scratched out 'Serious' and rewrote 'Sirius' in his head.
“The… star?” Marlene asked, her pen hovering over the cup as she hesitated.
“S-I-R-I-U-S,” Remus said. He stocked croissants into the display case, not looking up. “The Dog Star,” he added, “brightest star in the sky, actually. Visible from both hemispheres.” When he looked over, the man– Sirius– seemed surprised, his eyebrows raised as Remus spoke, and when Remus finished, he blinked a few times before smiling lopsidedly.
“Er– yeah,” he breathed a laugh. “That.” There was a baby on his hip. Somehow, it had taken Remus a second glance to notice that.
---
Or, Remus works as a barista and Sirius comes in every morning with the world's cutest baby, and man, these two just wrote the book on mutual pining, huh?

Summary
After Regulus spends a difficult year alone with their parents, Sirius convinces him to spend his last summer before college on a road trip with him and his closest friends. The very last thing he's expecting is for his feelings for Sirius' best friend to resurface with a vengeance (and he certainly isn't expecting them to be returned).
As it turns out, he and James aren't the only ones dealing with complicated emotions. Sirius has just returned from a year long trip abroad and Remus is having a difficult reconciling with just how much he's missed him.
Or, a coming of age road trip AU full of angst, fluff, healing family trauma and navigating old feelings.
//
He doesn’t realize his heart is beating hard again until he has a hand pressed tight to his chest like he can reach right into his ribs and still it. “Wait-“ his door is closed, there are footsteps on the stairs (heavy ones, they belong to Sirius, uneven like he’s hauling something heavy on one of his shoulders).
“Wait,” he hisses again, one hand gripping his doorframe, standing like a deer in actual headlights in his pajamas, hair wild and eyes wide. “You’re sure there’s room?”

Summary
Viktor remained silent for a moment longer in consideration. “I would like to see that one day.”
“See what?”
“Your perception of me. Wholly and truthfully.”
Jayce’s heart skipped. “That…” he flustered. “That sounds…personally intimate, doesn’t it?” he responded light-heartedly, pretending as if he were not crumbling into fragments of dried paint scratched off a canvas.
“In a sense, yes.” And Viktor stood, cane hitting the ground with a click. Jayce almost felt inclined to take a step back, but he did not move. “May I see the portrait yet?”OR
Jayce is Viktor’s personal artist, they have sexual tension, and Viktor finally acts on it, somehow not expecting Jayce to pour all his love into every touch, as he had with his paintings.

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
Viktor knew how he looked. With his sharp angles and hollowed cheeks and colt-like limbs, he was a serpentine god with all his alabaster beauty.
The nobles whispered about it. The investors watched Viktor move, fascination warring with discomfort. The Council scoffed at the idea of a Zaunite on their board—until they saw him.
Exotic. Enthralling. An exquisite thing to be coveted for themselves.
Viktor had once despised it.
Despised the way they stared, the way their fascination was always tinged with something possessive, as if he were a rare specimen on display. Loathed the murmurs in the Academy halls, the furtive glances that dogged him everywhere he went.
Now?
Now, he used it.
If they should lust after him, they did so at their own peril.
Desire was a fundamental human weakness. A distraction. A vulnerability. And if Jayce Talis was to prove useful, then Viktor would use every weakness he had.

Summary
“Is that… you, Viktor?”
It was barely more than a whisper, but he almost couldn’t bring himself to ask in the first place. The question scared him, the coming answer he feared even more. He knew the question was callous and loaded, but he had to know.
Those warm eyes faltered and became reproachful, they averted with a look of guilt, his eyebrows scrunching together. Viktor hugged his good knee tighter to his chest, his short and shallow breathing and his tightened lips betraying the hurt he felt at the question. The creases at the side of his nose deepened in dismay in the way only Viktor's face suited. All of these things told Jayce everything he needed desperately to know; this wasn’t the serene herald, or even the maniacal machine herald.
This was Viktor.
