Summary
It makes sense, of course— in everything, there is its opposite. In the waste of his Earth, there was his mother, his father, even William and Eve— before they each decided in their own ways to put their necks to the chopping block. In the glory of the Viltrum empire, there is a huge, aching hollow that conducts rage and electricity through him. On every billboard screen are a few dead pixels where his face skews as it looms over him, parroting back his own voice, his own insipid, juvenile, bullshit dogma. In his father’s truth was Mark’s truth, the real truth.
Over the three days of the Invincible War, Target Mark goes sliding down the drain.

Summary
Mark hears this is what it’s like for addicts. Weaning themselves on and off and on again. He’s considered asking the prisoner, but he won’t risk the humiliation waiting to happen. Mark isn’t addicted. It’s not the coke, or the miasma of Everclear and bullshit Mark let Rex keep in his minifridge, or the home movies, or even the red red blood. There’s no particular thing he needs but to be kept from going still. Going quiet. Anything that keeps him moving, that’s his vice of choice, though the glimmer of his face over a dark screen in the pitch, promising underworld of night— the door to the office locked and double-bolted, but still, somewhere beneath him, fourth floor, unit A, somewhere around there:
a man to which inertia does not apply and all the laws of reality and physics cower from— there, a man to which all men sink towards or sprint from— the kind of guy who has never, ever known what it’s like to stay still, because lying in wait doesn’t count—
Certainly make it easier.
Target is the building manager of the apartments where the variants live; Sinister is the serial killer dragging down the property value. Hijinks ensue. Let's call them hijinks.

Summary
Devour everything in this world — she looked down at her own right hand — and silently smiled — "There is still something I haven't eaten!" — Conchita's last gruesome meal — the ingredients were, yes, herself — the body that has devoured every food — no one will ever know the taste of it.
— mothy, Evil Food Eater Conchita.
That one where Sinister Mark successfully makes everyone a lot worse, because what the hell else is a guy supposed to do in the wasteland.

Summary
"This is the weirdest horror movie porn parody ever.”
He should be sorry, so sorry that he lives in a world where any Mark ever existed at all. He should be begging and crying to be reborn in the world where he dies long before he nears comprehension of the gulf between them.
Sinister Mark watches Maskless Mark fuck William. He's very normal about it.
Alternatively: William Clockwell finally gets dicked down. God help him, there are always consequences.

Summary
It was enough to have killed Paris, before it wasn’t. In Paris, Mark watched humans wither as down came the Eiffel Tower and smoke filled Versailles. He hovered in a mad, red, and suffocating sky and ground his teeth into dust, and thought about the boundless span of this Invincible’s life suddenly withdrawing into a pinhole. He breathed fire, and it was good.
After the wasteland and the wreckage of titanium plates from which he scavenged William, it was enough to be close to him. It was everything. First there was his voice in Mark’s childhood room; dispersed through white silt; and then: his voice, his voice, his voice for real, keening for Invincible—
After escaping the wasteland, Maskless Mark gets a second chance with William. Unfortunately, something always gets in the way.
EDIT: As of 18/03, chapter one has been reworked.

Summary
Sinister Mark and Maskless Mark are at two opposite sides of a spectrum. Their perception of William, and perception of William's perception of them, forces them to meet in the middle. It is a massive turbulent shitshow.

To bite so tenderly. by carlemon
Fandom The Sandman (Comics), The Sandman (TV 2022), The Sandman Universe
07 Oct 2022
Summary
Snippets of the Corinthian learning to love and be loved like a rabid animal: all-consuming, endlessly-devouring, frenzied. There's a surprising sweetness in there, too, a little like a percolating sugar-cube. Ultimately, what the Corinthian wants is to experience personhood, and the only ways he really knows how to do it are dark and carnivorous and so, so greedy. This is essentially the other side of that. The boy is intended to be read as your self-insert, but if you want him to read as an oc, his name is Noah Dyatlov, age twenty-two, polsci dropout, total mess!

Summary
On the 17th of June at 12:23 p.m., Prince Baelor is knocked off his horse by his younger brother, Prince Maekar, at a charity polo match in Windsor. He falls head-first into the grass, and he stands up wearily with an honest laugh. He understands the joke. God says we must love our brothers.

At 8:54 p.m., a drunken Prince Daeron disappears from Buckingham Palace with Prince Aegon in tow.
At 9:45 p.m., Prince Aerion finds himself fighting a gentle giant at an open-air theatre in a London park.
This is a love story.

Summary
“To the Giant of Flea Bottom,
Do not think this is over. I have paid three men in the Reach to follow you. If you sleep, they will be watching. If you eat, they will be counting the bites. If you find yourself some common omega wench that you’ve fallen in love with, I want their fingers brought to me in a box of salt. You are a stain on the laws of gods and men, and I will watch you rot from across the world.
— A.T.”
Dunk is only trying to be of honorable service, but his travels are constantly interrupted by “hate” letters from a certain exiled prince across the Narrow Sea.

Summary
When a mysterious force hurls Castiel into another universe, the angel crash-lands—literally—on Soldier Boy, a cocky, arrogant war hero with Dean Winchester’s face but none of his heart. What begins as instant hostility turns into reluctant partnership, as the two men are forced to fight side by side in a world that demands their uneasy alliance.
But battle lines blur quickly. Snark becomes banter, sparks become fire, and Castiel finds himself wrestling with forbidden feelings that angels aren’t meant to have. Soldier Boy, meanwhile, is torn apart by desires he doesn’t understand, haunted by the shadows of the time he came from and the walls he built to survive.
As war rages on around them, the pull between Castiel and Soldier Boy grows impossible to ignore. And when Castiel finally uncovers a way back to his own world, both men are faced with a choice that could change everything.
Enemies, allies, something more—what happens between them will test not only their strength, but the very limits of loyalty, love, and destiny.
