Summary
I found the room in the facility easily enough. It was one of many. Identical little cells with a bed pushed against one wall and hygiene equipment against the other.
There was no one else being held here. I made sure. Leaving some poor fuck here to die of starvation or run out of power was not something I intended to do. It could hold maybe twenty-five in total, but it honestly looked like it was on its way to being decommissioned.
That was probably why they'd stashed Gurathin here. They didn't think that Preservation Alliance would even know where to look.
Luckily, Preservation Alliance had me.
Written in response to the mention in Network Effect of drugged augmented humans, and subsequent discussions in New Tideland.

Summary
Despite his best efforts, he wants the SecUnit to be one of them. He will never voice it. He will never ask it. It would be pointless. Where the SecUnit is concerned, his feet bleed as he walks the cutting edge between suspicion and hope.

Summary
(The door slamming means he's going to hit you. That's how this works. He's going to be angry, even though it's not your fault what he's angry about, and he's going to yell at you and hit you and take everything out on you.)
And the worst part, Jamie knows, is that if that did happen, however unlikely— if Roy came in here and exploded at him, if he started shouting and hitting and throwing things, taking all his anger out on the easy target in front of him— he wouldn't have it in him to leave.
He loves Roy, and he'd let him do anything.

Summary
or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.
Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.
Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.

Summary
Large, freezing fingers take hold of his hair and wrench him up, up onto trembling knees as it snarls, there, close enough to rip his throat open with its maw of borrowed teeth.
"Do not think I am not tempted, Victor!" There is no heat to its breath, as it bellows its contempt not an inch from his face. Only moisture, and rushing air, expelled to defile his name. "To bleed you. To humble you."
--
"You have denied me death, I deny you in kind. You must live, Victor."
He hates the sound of his name in its mouth. Hates it. Had only it died as intended, that he would never suffer the sound again.
"For if you will not grant me a companion, I will take you as one."

Summary
Jamie's trying to be good, is the thing. A good man would go visit his dad in hospital, no matter how much he'd rather not, right? If it were Jamie himself who were ill or hurt, Dad probably wouldn't come all the way to London for him... but Jamie is better than him. This proves it.

Scenes from the House of Craft by CheersLads11
Fandoms: Dimension 20 (Web Series), A Court of Fey and Flowers - Fandom
31 Jan 2023
Tags
Summary
A series of short one-shots about daily life for the Feywild's newest family <3
1. Binx is a bit overwhelmed with how great things are going. Hob gets it.
2. Unfortunately, Squak and Chirp can't escape all the bad parts of being birds. Fortunately, neither can Rue.
3. K.P. Hob is not pretty, and that's a fact. But gods, how he wants to be.
4. A much younger Squak, Chirp, and Andhera get into some mischief at a Bloom-but can they avoid the watchful eye of Mistrex de la Rue?
5. A very very very short epilogue to Chapter 4
6. A standard morning in a little cottage at the edge of the feywild.
7. Hob and Andhera have never really talked about the Battle of Briar Falls. (Check Chapter Summary for Content Warnings)(I have soooo many acofaf thoughts, ideas, and scenes taking up far too much space in my brain so this is the solution. If you feel the same, *please* feel free to send prompts to @patcharmyof1 on tumblr)

Summary
How good is it, this lie? For he is no spirit of the forest. He is no soldier, wounded and lifted high by noble deeds and bravery in battle. His hands are a soldier’s hands–his feet, those that carried braver men to their deaths. But he is no soldier.
(In which the Creature makes it back to the cabin before the wolves attack, saves his blind companion, and tentatively steps into a family.)

Summary
Curse him. Curse his name and this supposed gift he’d given of life. Even Javert’s final thought, submerged willfully in the cold waters of the Seine, was littered with the remnants of Jean Valjean. Let him be free. Let the water wash away the curse inflicted on his soul. Let him die now, too tormented to wait in agony for a natural death, even if it meant the remainder of his soul would go to Lucifer’s domain. Let his eternal life be one of misery, as he deserved. Perhaps Valjean would meet him there, but Javert did not think it so.
Rescued from the Seine by a determinably anonymous benefactor, Inspector Javert struggles to cope with the consequences of being left alive.

Summary
Charles Smith falls in love with Arthur Morgan in the winter. He does it the same way he does everything else in his life. He falls in love with Arthur quietly.

Summary
"He's just like-"
“Like you were, when you first came here?” Xavier’s gaze was far too piercing. It sliced Logan to the bone, and he could feel his skin prickle where phantom blades cut through it.
“Exactly,” Logan growled, refusing to let Xavier see just how much that bothered him. “That’s why the kid’s dangerous.”
“That’s why he needs help,” Xavier pressed gently, as if he was chiding Logan for his hostility. “And that is why you are the best equipped to help him.”
__________________________
In which Logan accidentally volunteers to help babysit the latest addition to the Xavier Institute, a strange new student that was quite literally left on their doorstep. However, this student isn't quite a "student" at all; it is a weapon left without a handler. Unfortunately, the new mutant now thinks Logan is his handler. Even more unfortunately, Logan knows more about this situation than he would like to.AKA an AU that embellishes on the fact that Kurt was being used as a weapon by Stryker at the beginning of X2, turning the situation into a recovery scenario that ends up helping both Kurt and Logan overcome their Weapon X conditioning.
