Summary
“There are only two truths around here. Any man can be king for a night,” the younger man says with a wry grin and long drawl, sliding cards from the card shoe into tidy rows in front of himself and Hannibal. “But by the morning, the house always wins.”
---
An investigation into the deaths of casino hostesses in Las Vegas is made more interesting by a strange card dealer with an uncanny skill at reading guests at his table. Hannibal investigates the depth of his skill, and the card player surprises him with how truly acute it is.

Summary
The thing about time rifts was that, while most people who’d ever sailed a boat or flown a plane had heard of them, almost nobody believed in them. They were like UFOs or the Bermuda Triangle in that way.
Two years after Top Gun, Maverick encounters an urban legend, gets thrown back in time, and saves Goose's life. It doesn't fix things the way he thought it would. Goose is alive, but he hasn't forgotten what it's like to grieve for him. Goose is by his side, but Iceman doesn't even know him anymore.

Summary
Bradley wakes up late on Tuesday morning. It's the third week of classes and he'd stayed up too late in the lounge with the other guys watching the game. His alarm should have gone off at 7:30, but he probably forgot to set it the night before. He wakes up to a pounding on his door at 8:50, and by 8:55 the world has changed.
Going to war. Uncle Wood says they're going to war and yeah, Bradley thinks to himself dumbly, that makes sense. But if the nation is going to war, his entire family is going with it.
-----
Or: Bradley hasn't spoken to his family in a year, when he stormed out and never looked back. Now, the World Trade Center is in flames and his family is being deployed. Returning home is never simple, but maybe it can start with a phone call.Bookmarked by deadshift

Summary
"Woah," Maverick said, stumbling backward until he bumped into the wall. The events of last night rushed back to him in a sudden, overpowering wave, and he braced a hand against the wall. "You're…real?"
Goose looked up from the newspaper he was reading. There was a cup of coffee sitting next to him, still steaming. He raised an eyebrow, his mustache twitching briefly. "Depends. Are you real?"

Summary
"His new ‘I don’t care about Superman’ thing is just weird. I mean, it’s,” Clark gestures wildly to the newspaper, the ugly headline still staring up at them, “Lex Luthor. He’s an obsessive. If he’s not fixated on me, he’s got to be fixated on something else. Something not good. Something—why are you looking at me like that?”
Kara shrugs. “Sounds like your pet psychopath has moved on, and you’re just jealous.”
“Kara,” Clark sighs, but doesn’t protest further.
Superman knows that whatever Lex’s new obsession is, it can’t be good. As he soon discovers, that new obsession is Clark Kent.

Summary
Bradley can’t stop watching.
He’s halfway through a beer and halfway to losing his mind. He shouldn’t be looking at him like this—not in front of the team, not when they’re supposed to be friends who fuck when no one’s looking and then go right back to pretending none of it matters.
But Jesus. Pete looks good tonight.

“Tell me I’m pretty.”

Summary
Balancing himself with one knee on the seat, Pete straightens up, head bent downwards so it doesn’t collide with the roof of the truck, and unbuckles his belt.
The buckle clinks; Jake watches with curiosity, tilting his head to the side. Logic escapes him at the moment, but his impeccable flirting abilities are intact as ever.
“Hm, taking your pants off already?” A practiced grin shines across his face. “That’s a personal record for me.”
The tip of Pete’s tongue peeks through his teeth as he concentrates. As light as a feather, he slides the belt under Jake’s leg, managing so without causing a new burst of pain.
*
Jake gets run off the road by a reckless driver. Thankfully, he doesn’t have to deal with the aftermath alone.

The navy has a procedure for when they need alphas to go into rut early. It’s streamlined, scientific, predictable. Unfortunately, the navy also has a Maverick—and that changes everything.
In the lead-up to the uranium assignment, Rooster and Hangman are required to rut early so their schedule doesn’t conflict with the mission. But the omega who is sent to help them might make things a little…complicated.

Summary
Kon-El Luthor Kent gets bored and decides to make the acquaintance of the other half of his heritage. This proceeds smashingly.
----
In which I take rampant advantage of whatever bits of various canons suit me to explore my Dad!Lex feels. Sort of compliant with the first couple seasons of Smallville, then it does its own thing, then I horribly cannibalize the DC comics verse to bring Kon out to play. Also some Young Justice/Titans/Justice League stuff in forms that may or may not be recognizable.Series
