    Summary

    Mycroft has built a careful system of predictions to control the beast he calls Greed, always roiling in his chest, driving him to gather power, knowledge and (unfortunately) calories. By predicting what he's most likely to gain however, he can direct his desire towards them and not waste time striving for impossibilities. The system's worked for a decade, and he hasn't wanted anything badly enough to break it - until, that is, he's presented with a photograph of Gregory Lestrade and Greed crashes through his carefully erected barriers. To protect Greg from the beast, Mycroft must turn him into the most unattainable man in the country... by saving the man's crumbling marriage.

    Greg's satisfied with his lot. He works long hours, sure, but it's a worthwhile job. His wife's cheating on him, yeah, but honestly if he had a chance with Mr Perfect McRockHardAbs, he'd probably cheat too. And he likes the bed cold, anyway. He's never been the sort to step on other people's feet or push for something as silly as his own happiness. Besides, he's never wanted anything strongly enough to push - until, that is, he meets the infuriating Mycroft Holmes, who seems intent on doing nothing but brush him away.

    Summary

    Being tossed into the throne with nothing to him but his name, Yi Won Beom has navigated the palace through the years filled with deception and a consuming thirst for revenge disguised as justice. Unexpectedly, the Queen presents herself as an anomaly to his carefully crafted ploy - a persona too eccentric, almost like a stranger among them hailing from another world.

    Summary

    Clark swallows, then takes a tentative step forward, then another. Soon, he’s standing right in front of it, his heart pounding in his chest.

    He takes a breath, then looks into the crib.

    His stomach drops again.

    “Oh.”

    “I’m so sorry,” Lena says quietly. Her voice shakes a little.

    Clark doesn’t reply. His eyes are locked on what’s in the crib, taking in the round cheeks, the small fists, the thick, dark hair.

    He doesn’t need to breathe, technically, but he feels like all the oxygen in his lungs has been stolen anyway.

    After what feels like an eternity, they scrunch up their face, wiggle a little, yawn, and then slowly open their eyes.

    Blue.

    Bright, otherworldly blue eyes, just like his own, stare back at him.
    -------------------
    Months after Lex Luthor used a clone of him to help nearly destroy Metropolis, Clark finds out that Ultraman wasn't the only clone he made.

    Summary

    Namesake | Nacho has to find a way to get ‘closer’ to Lalo according to Gus’ orders, but the result of his attempt to do so ends up being far more than he can handle.

    Lalo is unique. He’s not like the other Salamancas that Ignacio has dealt with, no. He’s not wired like Tuco was and still is in prison, where he might end up staying if he carries on shivving guys for nothing; he’s not intimidating in the same way as Hector was back when he had the capacity to intimidate.
    Lalo lures you in and makes you his friend, which is far more dangerous. He hides his intentions behind a friendly smile and an endlessly deep gaze that distracts you from the fact that he’s the cat and you are the mouse.

    Summary

    “Luthor…?”

    “Superman.” Lex’s voice is velvet wrapped in disdain. “I’m delighted you answered. We have something very important to discuss.”

    “If this is about a legal appeal,” Clark says sternly, folding his arms and trying to center himself with authority he doesn’t quite feel at the moment, “try your lawyer. I’m not your lifeline.”

    “Not mine, but you are someone else’s.”

    Clark blinks. “What?”

    “I’m pregnant,” Lex says, crisp and clear like he’s confirming a business transaction.

    --- --- ---

    Or, one month after Lex Luthor is imprisoned, Clark receives a startling call through the Fortress' comms.

    Summary

    Clark Kent has fought Lex Luthor, stopped invasions, and stood as a hero loved by the world. Now, with relative peace settling in, his life as Superman continues: saving lives, serving on the Justice League, discovering new heroes rising in distant cities, and quietly maintaining the balance between being Clark Kent and being Superman. He holds onto his love for Lois Lane, continues to chase stories at the Daily Planet despite the meager pay, and carries a quiet passion for helping others in every way he can. Clark believes—perhaps naively—that he can return to a sense of calm, at least the kind of calm a man like him could hope for, especially now that the world seems quieter.
    What he doesn’t expect is what comes a year later: a forgotten experiment from Lex Luthor’s files brought into the light. Not a weapon, not a monster, but a baby—six months old. A child with piercing blue eyes and a shock of black hair. A baby who bears his genes… and Lex Luthor’s.
    Clark wanted normal. Instead, he finds Conner Kent.

    Summary

    Hedonist that he is, Lestat has never particularly cared to be held to the constraints of a schedule. Louis may enjoy the routine and predictability of something as prosaic as the requirements of managing a business–one of his many little idiosyncrasies that Lestat simultaneously enjoys and is frequently irritated by–but for him? Non. He can enjoy the artistry of a well-planned ball or the satisfaction of a business deal well-struck, but he’s always enjoyed the freedom of not quite knowing what’s coming next. In a long, long life, it’s far too easy to fall into a rut and find oneself constrained to it for decades before noticing.

    Even with his taste for surprise, however, Louis holding out a tiny, sooty, sniffling child is a shock he is not best pleased by.

    He flicks his eyes up from the big-eyed, dripping moppet, raising a brow and feeling his lip curl slightly in distaste. The child reeks of smoke and fear and God only knows what else.

    “Put it back,” he says flatly.

    (AU based on the idea of Louis finding Claudia at the age of five like in the book but raising her until she's old enough to be changed) (marked complete because each chapter can stand alone but will be updated)

    Summary

    Lex Luthor has Superman’s DNA, but can’t seem to produce a viable clone. In a last ditch effort, he injects himself with a serum made from Kryptonian cells to gain Superman’s powers… and accidentally knocks himself up in the process. This wasn’t in his original plan for world domination, in fact it might actually kill him, but he’s fueled by pure hate and alien hormones to make the most of it. On the plus side, he’s finally got a way to get Superman’s attention.

    This is entirely inspired by the moment the Fortress of Solitude opens for Lex and I had to stop myself from whispering “he’s pregnant…” in the theater. I have no one to talk to about this.

    Summary

    Superman’s parents had written the blueprint for their sons downfall, and Lex would be the architect who brought it to life. He would give the alien exactly what his creators intended for him, but on Lex’s own terms. An heir, a future, a leash. Soon enough superman would be his to command.

     


    Lex has a plan. It’s going well. He has his army of monkeys spewing out constant Superman hate, a mindless clone who is unstoppable even to Superman, Boravia in his pocket, a deal for half of Jarhanpur, his pocket dimension, and a prison designed to hold the alien. Everything is perfectly planned until a message from Superman’s dead parents, hidden in the ice fortress, hands Lex an entirely new idea. One far more dangerous and personal.

    Summary

    Clark is happy.

    He’s a part of the world and helping it. He’s surrounded by friends and loved ones. And he’s learning more about himself every day. He was truly happy for once in his life, in a way that was fleeting after his powers started coming in.

    Clark wouldn’t ask for more, but he can’t deny he still feels alone in the universe.

     

    But the choice to change that is not a choice he’s given. His choice, as always, comes after the fall.

    Summary

    Dean had heard once, that you weren't supposed to mix pills with alcohol. It made you weak and unstable.

    Delirious.

    He squinted bleerily up at the brilliant light, despite the sting from his eye's currently rupturing veins.

    A blue sun hung overhead.

    Pulsating.

    Visceral, like the beating of a heart.

    -

    Dean felt as if he was stuck in a dream, going through the same motions, living in a perpetual haze.

    Sam wasn't picking up the phone, and neither was his dad.

    But Dean couldn't quite bring himself to care anymore, not when he had a little ball of light to keep him company.

    Something... no... Someone who could never leave him.

    Summary

    The Second Jade of Gusu Lan has been missing ever since the Siege of the Burial Mounds. -- No, missing isn't quite the word the First Jade would use to describe the absence of his younger brother from the Cloud Recesses.
    When Lan Zhan had been dragged back to his sect and pulled to his knees in front of his uncle and elders, his brother being physically restrained to the side, he had been informed that he would receive one strike for every cultivator he had struck with Bichen before he would be stripped of his spiritual weapons and would enter seclusion until such a time as his injuries healed. He had broken so many of the rules of his sect, and the defiant look on his typically-inscrutible face suggested that he intended to break even more.
    "Even as the threat of the Yiling Laozu has finally been stymied, you risk finding yourself on the crooked path," Lan Qiren warned his nephew.
    Lan Zhan met his uncle's gaze dispassionately, wondering to himself what differences he would find between a crooked path and a winding road, should he dare to look.

    Summary

    [Temporary Hiatus]

    “Who else looks like him?” Tim asked rhetorically, pulling up a hologram of Superman.

    Stephanie let out a (very dramatic, in Tim’s opinion) gasp, and Duke choked on his sandwich.

    Damian and Jason sent identical scowls to the picture, skeptical.

    “Who is dealing to you?” Jason deadpanned, “When I told my men to stop dealing to children I didn’t think they’d start offering it up to the Bats.”

    “Shut up, Jason–” Both glowered, and he raised his hands in mock surrender. It was a testament to how their relationship improved the the years.

    Duke hummed thoughtfully, now no longer choking.

    “I mean, they kinda do,” He covered the lower half of Superman’s face, “Look,”

    Or, Gotham's newest vigilante looks like Superman. Obviously, he's his son.
