Summary
“What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”
And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.
“I want to go to college.”
And Talia had made that happen for him.
(AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

Summary
There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.
Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

running after two hares by chaparral_crown
Fandoms: Hannibal (TV), Charlie Countryman (2013)
27 May 2023
Tags
Summary
“Do you think that maybe you have a preference for people with a certain criminal element?”
Will feels himself wilt internally. “I’m not sure how to feel about jumping to murder instead of the fact that the two of you could have been made through cellular mitosis.”
---
Hannibal has effectively replaced Will in every facet of his life by the time he is released from prison at the hands of the Chesapeake Ripper. The man takes his job, his friends, his one-time crush, and his pride.
In a spiteful random purchase made at a gas station, Will finds a way for two to play that game, and puts in motion a much wilder method of replacing Hannibal than he was really planning for.

Summary
So, I saw a writing prompt of an unsuspecting civilian saving a random kid who ends up belonging to the head of a mafia group, which lands the civilian on the "No Harm List." Pair that with my slight obsession with Hannibal, and voila~
AU where Will is a tattoo shop owner and Hannibal is the head of a mafia group.
Will has spent his life keeping his head low in the city of Baltimore. He'd worked hard to remain neutral, incurring no wrath and earning no one's interest. Until Will is heading to his tattoo shop one day and saves a kid who was going to be shot. Too bad the kid is mafia affiliated, and not just any mafia. The biggest, most dangerous group in the city of Baltimore: the Ripper Mafia. And worse, he's piqued the interest of the leader, the Chesapeake Ripper.

Freedom is Sweet by adozenbottledtales for ali_aliska
Fandoms: The Avengers (Marvel Movies)
29 Nov 2023
Tags
Summary
This is an offshoot of ali_aliska's Such Sweet Revenge. You don't need to have read 'Such Sweet Revenge' to read this, but it's awesome and some nice context.
The Rogues are back in New York and desperately trying to get back into the New Avengers. Especially one Steve Rogers with a newly reformed and recovered Bucky Barnes.
But when trying to escape a meeting Tony runs into Barnes alone and something is wrong, something is very very wrong.
(a pretty much evil Wanda is controlling Bucky's mind to make him the friend Steve lost.)

Summary
Tim’s hand grips tighter on the coffee, more determined to keep his hold on that than his phone or keys, and thank god, he doesn’t drop the drink. But the rest of it slips through his fingers, and the guy he just slammed into has some seriously great reflexes, because he manages to snatch them both out of the air before they can hit the ground.
“Oh, god, sorry—” Tim starts to say as the guy straightens up, and then he stops. A set of amused green eyes look down at him over a wide grin.
You’ve got to be kidding, Tim thinks.
“Got somewhere to be, sweetheart? Oh, now that’s a pretty shade of red you’re turning—”
“I’m late,” Tim snaps, snatching his keys and phone out of Jason’s hand. “I got lost four fucking times on my way here. If this city was a person, I would throttle it.”
-
Or: Gotham is alive, and it won't stop pushing Jason and Tim together.

Summary
Pain has always begun in Marc's lower back. From there, it's a network of scar tissue and old breaks and skin made tough through trial after trial: the cold radiates through their bones and sets them all to aching. Steven jokes that they're getting old.
"We think," he says hoarsely, painfully conscious of the gravel of his own voice where Steven's is so different, "someone is still - well - one of us is still going out as Moon Knight."

This is when it usually happens: Marc gets his adrenaline up in battle, goes all rough and efficient like he does when they're really backed into a corner, takes out the enemy with brutal finality, and gets that hungry look in his eye when there's no more fighting to do.

Summary
There comes a day in every man's life when he has to look at the circumstances of his existence and decide whether he wants to keep fighting.
For Ed, that day comes when the frost giants attack Bryn Shander.
"We are getting the fuck out of Ten Towns," he tells Holga.
When frost giants attack the city of Bryn Shander in 1491, Ed and Holga make the decision to take Kira and make the perilous journey south to Mornbryn's Shield, where they hope to start a new life away from the unpredictable Ten Towns and the memory of Edgin's wife. Along the way they meet a paladin of Ilmater who agrees to escort them as far as Mirabar, setting off a chain of events that will have Ed questioning his beliefs, evaluating his relationship with his daughter, and perhaps even let him heal enough to finally find happiness again.

And on and on it went. There was always a new story for every person who asked, and even Marc—who resolved to call Frenchie everyday to stay in touch—would get “I bit it off” and “Bigfoot borrowed it” and “how much do you think this phone call cost me?”
