    Summary

    Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."

    Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."

    (Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)

    Summary

    When amateur reporter Clark Kent goes to interview arrogant billionaire Bruce Wayne, he encounters a man who's opaque, difficult, and irritatingly hot. Carefully unremarkable and usually level-headed Clark becomes uncomfortably aware he wants this man, and, despite Wayne's undeniable entitlement and seemingly deliberate jackassery, finds he is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Clark's perceptiveness, stubbornness, and persistent generosity of spirit, Wayne admits he wants him, too—but on his own terms.

    Surprised yet drawn to Wayne's singular erotic tastes, Clark hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational business, his vast wealth, his unfair attractiveness—Wayne is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When they embark on a daring, passionately physical affair, Clark discovers Bruce Wayne's secrets and explores his own dark desires.

    Summary

    Dean has cystic fibrosis, a brutal respiratory disease that means he can’t cut it in the life his father chose for him, despite his very best efforts. He also has a give ‘em hell attitude and a dogged crush on his childhood best friend. Castiel has an absent father, a stellar GPA, a comprehensive ten-year plan, and—a lot of reservations about all this.

    Summary

    In the spring of 1944, the 104th Medical Battalion of the United States Army is disbanded, and its men reassigned to various infantry companies in preparation for their invasion of occupied France. For First Lieutenant Novak, this is less than helpful, as he has so far met his platoon’s designated medic a grand total of twice, and has both times found Sergeant Winchester to be the optimum combination of reckless, arrogant, and downright insufferable so as to make cohesive platoon function near impossible. When the time comes to move out, however, Castiel has to reconcile himself to the fact that men are going to go down and trust that Dean Winchester may well be the only person who can put them back together again. WW2 ETO infantry AU.

    Summary

    “You can kiss better than that,” Grimmjow dares, wet-lipped and gleaming-eyed. It’s a game to him.

    If it’s a game, it’s one of attrition. And Ulquiorra is losing.

    Summary

    They were gone.

    Every. Single. Letter.

    Gone.

    Oh, this was bad. This was very bad.

    In this moment, Byakuya wouldn’t have considered it dramatic in the slightest to throw himself off the tallest building he could find.

    There had been six letters in that compartment. Now there were zero.

    In a way, it was relieving because he was now no longer suffering a string of very oddly coinciding misfortunes. No. Now he knew that someone had set him up for failure.

    Summary

    The first time Grimmjow runs into the orange-haired motherfucker that turns into the bane of his existence, he’s too preoccupied with not dying to notice most of the details. Later, once he’s put a healthy distance between himself and those specific sand dunes, he’ll recall impressions of bright hair and black estigma and a hole in the center of the fucking vasto lorde’s chest.

    The whole affair only gets more confusing afterward, when the damn thing keeps trying to feed him.

    Summary

    After the CyberLife store raid, Chris was left traumatized by the event of having a gun pointed at his head and was ordered to take some time off. Gavin -- currently without a partner -- temporarily received a new one... a surprisingly snarky RK900 that was to go for a test drive.

    "Take your time, not in the fast lane
    I understand, that you've been broken
    Too many times, but I'll be waiting
    To mend your wounds, from all you've taken..."

    Summary

    “‘Why?’

    Nines didn’t mean for the question to come off as so desperate. But something had latched itself to his voice—to him—and wouldn’t let go.

    Reed didn’t answer for a long time, or at least what felt like a long time. All he did was watch Nines with those gray, gray eyes, not gray like the empty ocean of ones and zeroes that was Nines’s mind palace, but gray like the mediary between the stark whites and blacks of his jacket. Gray like everything Nines wasn’t allowed to be.”

    A long broken detective aching for connection gets partnered with an android struggling to understand his place in the world. Despite all odds, they teach each other not just what it means to be alive, but what it means to live.

    Summary

    When Crowley is given the chance at a human life (birth to death, family, Free Will, the whole thing) he takes it. He does this, in part, to protect Aziraphale from being forced to take the same opportunity against his will.

    However, once Crowley is off on this metaphysical adventure, Aziraphale follows after him, retaining his memories but becoming human himself so that he can watch over his friend.

    Now the two of them are growing up together, one ignorant of their true forms and one all too aware of the strangeness of their situation.

    Before it's over, the series will follow the two of them through childhood and into adulthood, eventually becoming romantic.

    Summary

    As soon as Aubrey Thyme, psychotherapist, had opened her office door and seen her new client, Anthony J. Crowley, sitting in her waiting area, she was observing and assessing him. At first glance, she paid attention to the following:

    --His clothing was expensive and stylish;
    --He wore very strange but noticeable cologne;
    --His relationship to the seat he occupied could only, very loosely, be described as “sitting;”
    --He looked angry;
    --He was wearing sunglasses.

    What Aubrey Thyme, a professional, thought, upon first seeing her new client was: you’re going to be a fun one, aren’t you?

    Summary

    It was Crowley, Crowley, finally inside him, after so many centuries of wanting. It was Crowley, making him tremble and then making him come. He had more than any angel -- any mortal -- could ever have dreamed of, and it was the worst kind of avarice to want for more.

    (And yet.)

    Summary

    It’s with no other option, work in Canada being so scarce, that Greg moves below the border for the first time in years. He knows rationally that he’ll never see Vietnam. The draft lottery has an age limit, and he’s nearing 30. He’s just always struggled to stay rational and the whole damn world seems to be following suit right now.

    The same sets him on the path to join the family business, a company which represents everything that he has spent the past decade protesting. After a near identical flight to New York, a comparable plan, and a heart-stopping, chance meeting, that path officially crosses with Tom’s—a man who despite his experience has just as little business treading all this corporate scorched earth. Who, for reasons that he’s had under lock and key his whole life, will hire Greg when his own uncle won’t.

    It’s with as much shame as there is victory that most everything from then on are their own choices. It opens their lives right up.
