Summary
Modern AU, the prequel to Wisteria.
From his first day of college, Jean Kirschtein is determined to be different: the guy he always wanted to be. The student who gets good grades without trying, the painter whose art blows everyone away, the cool kid, the guy who gets all the girls. He's tired of being the youngest brother in a privileged, impressive family -- the kid with no reason to be angry all the time and no plans for his life other than to paint. He's tired of being afraid of everyone, wondering if they can tell what he's hiding.
Art college is his dream. This is his year. School, art, girls, freedom, independence, hell yeah. And then he meets his new roommate. Marco Bodt sweeps him off his feet -- or more specifically, knocks him on his ass.
Forget Me Not is a collection of memories. It's the struggle of a boy who falls in love with someone who accepts him for who he is, when no one ever taught him how to accept himself. It's the story of choosing duty over love; family over his own failures; what he thinks is right over what he knows he wants. Told by the man who knows how the story ends, but has to make sure you know how it began.

Summary
[“There’s this thing that you do,” Alec murmurs. “This power you have that makes you look indestructible.”
“You know that’s not true,” says Magnus.
“I do,” replies Alec, “But even then … there are times when I’m not so sure.”]
1992, New York, a city hanging on to politically-tinged Cold War feelings. Alec Lightwood is a Corporate - a superhero for hire - jostling with a secret identity, holding on to a sense of a normal life, and the fact vigilantes keep turning up murdered in the gutters with no explanation.
Things can only get worse when Magnus - an investigative journalist - starts peeling back Alec’s carefully-crafted mask … and then there’s the mysterious vigilante with the power to move things with his mind who keeps turning up wherever Alec goes - Alec just can’t cut a break.
A neonoir slow-burn superheroes AU about identity, truth, and falling in love without knowing someone’s real name (ft. everyone has superpowers because I couldn’t help myself).

Summary
Marco Bodt has a problem. He has the biggest hero complex out there, and though it gains him friends he isn’t thought of kindly by the police: they don’t appreciate a scruffy wannabe bohemian trying to do their job. He helps people, and then he vanishes. But when he saves a rather hostile man from being mowed down by an over-enthusiastic bus driver on the streets of Trost, he doesn’t get the reaction he expects. He gets shouted at for helping, for saving, and realises that sometimes people don’t want to be saved, or worse still, don’t think they should be.
He also begins to find that no matter how hard he tries, he can't pull himself away from the one person who destroyed his universe... and then put it together again.
One thing's for certain: it's going to be a hard pill to swallow.
