Summary
The picturesque village of Buell, Maine is one of the last in the United States to continue the tradition of the “harvest” or “prosperity” lottery. Its residents insist the lottery makes them stronger, even as condemnation from outsiders grows.

Summary
You won’t be able to stop me, Dean thinks into the silence. Just take me, please, take me instead—
EYE FOR AN EYE, says the Empty.
Dean is on his knees in his bedroom, elbows on his mattress like he thought he might pray.
The voice fills Dean’s mind as slowly as cold oil, and drips down the back of his neck.
TOOTH FOR A TOOTH.
*
Dean makes a deal.

Summary
It isn't difficult to go on in the wake of Superman's death. His resurrection, though, poses a problem—especially when it turns out there's no such thing as the right moment to explain that Martha Kent's obnoxious billionaire friend? Is also the man who tried really hard to shove a kryptonite spear through Clark's face.
Written as a fill for the dceu_kinkmeme prompt, summarized: Bruce/Clark, identity porn. (Full prompt in author's notes!)

Summary
The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’
Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.

Summary
It requires every ounce of will he can bring to bear to force himself to meet Clark's eyes. Clark looks shocked; the expression is undiluted by anger or dismay, though perhaps he simply hasn't had time to grasp what just happened. His eyes are wide, round, impossibly blue. Color is rising into his cheeks. His mouth is half-open, slack, with the slightest damp shine where—
"That was," Bruce makes himself say, and then stops. Christ, what word can he use? What adjective is there that acknowledges his trespass fully? "Inappropriate." Inadequate, but it's the best he can do, and Clark needs to hear something, needs to know Bruce recognizes his own mistake for what it is. "I apologize. I—"

Summary
Julian doesn't think about it much these days. Why should he, when it's been so long?
But when he does, if he does, well—he considers it part and parcel of Garak, that's all. Disconcerting at first, a little invasive. Awfully close to a line but not quite crossing it, and leaving Julian with absolutely no idea what he's meant to do in response. Garak in microcosm, summarized in a single unexpected gesture.
(Or: Julian has always thought Garak just had a weird little habit. Until another Cardassian does the same thing to him, and seems to imbue the gesture with a meaning Julian really had not anticipated.)

Summary
It takes a while for Batman and Superman to work things out, once Clark comes back from the dead. Pretending to date each other in order to explain why Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are in the same place so often? Doesn't help as much as you might think.
Written as a fill for the dceu_kinkmeme prompt, summarized: Bruce/Clark, fake dating. (Full prompt in author's notes.)

Summary
“Right, Charlie,” Mitchell says. “Your agent sent me through the scripts, but she was a little vague about the target accent. Do you know exactly what it is we’re aiming for? Beyond ‘British’.”
Just aim away from whatever the hell it was I did last time, Charlie thinks, and we’ll be golden.When a perpetually panic-stricken Hollywood ingenu hires an uber-competent dialect coach, he's hoping for a crash course in Received Pronunciation and an urgent bit of brand rehabilitation. Instead, he gets an excruciating workplace crush and a head full of X-rated dreams. But he's an actor, right, so he'll probably be able to play it cool?
Not bloody likely.

17 Last Words from Hunger Games Tributes That Are STILL Echoing In Our Heads. Yes, Still. by ghostwriterofthemachine
Fandoms: Hunger Games Series - All Media Types, The Hunger Games (Movies), Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins

Summary
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We can’t wait until we can say Happy Hunger Games in earnest (only another month!), but in the meantime, we are celebrating the best moment of Games from years past. Make sure you also check out our list of the most iconic final showdowns and our favorite post-victory moments.
What’s on the plate for today? Glad you asked! The Games are all about triumph, but they’re also all about tragedy (which makes those victories even sweeter). Today, we’re looking at 17 final moments from Tributes that we are still thinking about. To make it harder for ourselves, we could only pick one from each Games (so if your favorite didn’t make the cut, that could be why!). Some made us scream, some made us cry, and a few even made us laugh (you’ll see!). Read on!
A listicle from Capitol Buzzfeed.

Summary
"Well, he has a point, Robbie reflects, left by himself to contemplate the river. Robbie doesn’t know what he’s getting so bent out of shape about. This should be no skin off his nose and it’s not like it's an assignment James asked for. It’s not like James wanted a new partner. It’s just not much fun having your sergeant effectively taken off you, is it?"
James goes undercover-as-gay with a different partner, leaving Robbie to provide surveillance.

Summary
James leans in as well, studiously ignoring how much Lewis in reality is behaving like Lewis in his head. It’s one thing to daydream about it, it’s another thing entirely to believe that it’s true.
(Or five times James Hathaway wanted to kiss Robbie Lewis and one time he did.)

Summary
"The last thing he can remember of James is a Sir, a very insistent, rather panicked Sir, as the world went dark around him, and then even a Robbie. And things must’ve been bad if James had finally resorted to his name."
Starts very early in canon and progresses through the years.

Summary
‘Hathaway had also said, relating that talk, to Robbie: ‘…but she made me bloody mad, and I didn’t stick up for you, and I just feel ashamed’. As if he not only expected Robbie to know something Innocent obviously hadn’t—that he’d decided to throw his lot in with Robbie long before this had happened—but he was already berating himself for lapses in the standard of his loyalty.’

The Apparent Places of Fundamental Stars by divingforstones for Lindenharp
Fandoms: Lewis (TV)
08 Apr 2015

Summary
"Robbie’s now thoroughly distracted by that brush of thigh against his own leg. It must be something to do with the way that they’re both wearing the thin cotton of pyjama bottoms. Because James’s thigh will often brush against Robbie’s as they sit on a bench for a lunchtime sandwich in summer, or on Robbie’s couch when James sprawls down a bit, and it’s comfortably, familiarly James, but it doesn’t normally cause quite that sort of a reaction when Robbie’s pulse quickens like that or—Christ, this is his sergeant that he’s—he must need a decent night’s kip even more than James does."
Lewis is confused, Hathaway is casually purposeful, Innocent is increasingly suspicious and there's a case fic going on in the background.
Starts shortly after Season 6. So becomes non canon-compliant.Bookmarked by monumentsails

Summary
For Richie, the Spains had been his first proper murder case, and then he’d never worked a case without me. And it satisfied me, in some quiet way: the idea that I was so constant, so solid in his understanding of himself, that when he looked back, all he could remember was the horror.

Summary
Dean showers for a long time, until the water turns cold and his skin stops itching. He towels his hair dry in front of the mirror above the sink. He brushes his teeth with his index finger. Eventually he decides to rip the band-aid off—so he opens the bathroom door again, boxers and t-shirt sticking to the damp spots on his back.
“I borrowed your clothes,” Cas says apologetically. “I hope that’s alright.”
Dean goes still.

“Ah. Here is a young man transfixed. Do you like Hunt, sir?"
"Do I like him?" Phil tore his eyes from the painting before him and marvelled at the stranger at his elbow. Like him? One might as well ask do you like Michaelangelo? Do you like Homer? Do you like the Alps?
An art enthusiast with a talent for meteorology meets (arguably) the Finest Painter in England. But impressing your idol can be damned hard work, especially when he's all pride and prejudice, and you're all sensibility and no sense. Heavy weather ahead...- Language:
