All I Ask (I Promise I'll Try) by softboiorym (greywritesstuff) for exandriantrashpanda (topothesia)
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
06 Oct 2022

Summary
Orym wakes up to the scent of iron. The groggy recognition of the smell of blood jolts him fully awake, and he sits bolt upright in bed where he’s cradled between Dorian and Fearne. Dorian has shifted in the night, rolling over to his side, and Orym’s eyes are instantly drawn to the dark, red stain coating the entire left side of Dorian’s clothing. Some of it looks long dried, but there’s a fresh spot that, coupled with the smell, tells Orym that something is still bleeding, and badly. Orym feels like he can’t breathe. For a moment he hears nothing but the pounding of his heart in his ears, and it’s only made worse when he realizes he can’t tell if Dorian is breathing or not. Without even hesitating, he’s yelling at the top of his lungs as he rolls Dorian onto his back, desperately checking for a pulse.
Dorian hides an injury and it goes about as well as you'd expect.

A Really Good Lawyer by batnsons (greywritesstuff)

Summary
“Um… Mr. Murdock, sir?” The kid asks, almost for clarification but something tells Matt he doesn’t need it. But he nods anyway, and the kid continues. “I was hoping maybe you could give me some legal advice? I’m in a bit of a… tough financial and maybe legal situation,” the kid continues, stuttering nervously and unable to look at Matt directly. Matt cocks his head to the side, studying the kid in front of him. He waits, and sure enough the kid explains on his own. “You see I don’t have a job and haven’t been able to pay rent, but legally it’s been… difficult for me to get a job, if that makes sense?” Matt is confused, but legal issues he can help with.
“Well, let’s see what we can help you with, Mr…” he trails off, gesturing for the kid to fill in the blank. The teenager shifts uncomfortably in his seat, hesitating for half a second before answering, almost like he’s unsure of his own name.
“Parker. Uh. Peter Parker, sir.”
As soon as the kid says his name, something in Matt pauses. He’s sure they’ve never met before, and yet…
He tilts his head a little to the left, listening intently to Peter as he asks,
“Have we met before, Mr. Parker?”

Summary
“Rick’s missing. He went to the bank two hours ago, shoulda been back in 45. And before you tell me it’s too soon, he took the Ferrari. Higgins just checked the tracker, and it’s not transmitting. Something’s wrong, Gordon. I can’t-” Higgins grabs him gently by the elbow when his voice breaks, and Thomas takes a deep breath to steady himself. “I can’t do this again, I can’t. Please.”

Uh I Think You Got The Wrong Guy - Part 1 by batnsons (greywritesstuff)
Fandoms: Magnum P.I. (TV 2018)
03 Oct 2020

Summary
There’s a slight rustle as someone steps into line behind him, and Rick bristles slightly as the person gets a little too close for comfort. He’s got the card in the slot already, but he’s loath to enter the pin with someone practically breathing down his neck. He starts to turn, a sharp Buddy, do you mind? on his lips, when there’s something hard and cold pressed against his spine. Rick goes frozen still, recognizing the deadly muzzle of a small handgun at his back. The man, as he can tell now, leans in close, his breath warm and tickling the side of Rick’s neck.
“Thomas Magnum?”

Don’t Bats Hang Upside Down, Though? by batnsons (greywritesstuff)
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman (Comics)
01 Oct 2020

Summary
It’s freezing cold and pitch black when Bruce jerks awake. For a moment his brain is a jumbled mess of confusion and blind panic before everything hits him like a bucket of icy water. It takes him much longer than he’d like to admit to realize he actually has just been hit by a bucket of icy water. He has a head injury, then. Of course. He’s hit with what he can only assume is the third bucket of ice water then, leaving him gasping and spluttering as the freezing water fills his nose and mouth. He coughs harshly, tasting iron in the water running down his face. Head injury for sure, and bad enough to bleed.

Batdads never rest by batnsons (greywritesstuff)
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Shazam! (2019), Shazam! | Captain Marvel (Comics)
29 May 2020

Summary
As far as Bruce is aware (and he’s done his research), he is the only one who knows Billy Batson’s true identity. He has a sneaking suspicion that J’onn might know, purely based on the mind reading, but he also knows J’onn likes to let them all have their privacy if they want it. So it’s just a suspicion, and he’s no way to prove it, so definitively, he’s the only one who knows that Shazam is actually a fifteen year old boy. (There’s another unprovable suspicion that Clark knows as well, but the previous statement still stands.)
———————
When Shazam makes a tough, last-resort decision on a mission offworld, Batman can’t shut off the batdad mode and brings him back to the Cave to help him deal.
