Summary
When Rolan Deep died, there was a smile on Rand’s face.
And why shouldn’t there be? He kneeled before a comical depiction of an Elder Brain, pulled straight from the first Edition of the Dungeons and Dragons books he poured over less than 24 hours ago.
And he kept smiling, because after the Elder Brain arrived, everything got better. The Queen died. Police cars came. His sister was back.
Everything is fine.
Everything is fine in Galloway, Louisiana.
Everything is as it should be in Galloway, Louisiana.A theory on how 0 sanity affected Timothy Rand’s brain and about the real fate of Galloway.

Summary
"Tuesday, October 31st. If there is one thing the Wayne family hates, it’s Halloween. The newest generation of Gotham doesn’t go trick-or-treating on Halloween, no college parties with twenty-dollar costumes and cheap beer which has been hidden under the stairwell for months in preparation. In Gotham, Halloween is a time to stay at home, hoard the candy for oneself, and wait. Wait in fear.
Even Wayne manor is silent, ridiculously tall wooden boards barring the Victorian windows that usually spend fractals of light scattering across the main hall. The door is bolted thrice with an assortment of locks and even the friendly butler Alfred is nowhere to be seen. The extensive mansion Bruce has grown up in is currently quiet and personless, but not empty. To say that the mansion is empty, after all, would negate the dozens of bats scurrying around under the floorboards around the cave, flapping their wings in preparation to take flight for the night.

Summary
There’s a haunted house on every block. After the Apocalypse, a mourning man sits still as a ghost.
An excerpt:
‘You're in the house
And I am here in the car
'Cause I just need a quiet place’No One sits on a small, rickety chair any person would assume uncomfortable. He dons a filthy brown sweater, caked in sweat and mud and dust and rubble and blood. So much blood.

(A slight canon divergence where Jon is still affected by the Stranger after the explosion before Nikola truly dies)
Excerpt:
“Jon? Jon!”
Smoke filled everything: his lungs, his mouth, his eyes, his nose. Every pore of his body seemed infected by the acrid grey and his ears rang with screams. A dull throb reverberated through his body and the distinct feeling of weakness spread throughout his bones. He looked up and saw…
What did he see?

Summary
Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish is declared K.I.A during a failed recon mission in 2017. His commanding officer, Captain John Price, takes the loss personally but has no other choice then to move on. He creates Task Force 141, keeps the bad guys scared of the dark, and hunts Makarov relentlessly - the man who killed his sergeant all those years ago.
Five years later, Price fights an assassin with a familiar face.
Spectre-07 doesn’t remember anything. Maybe he had once, but years of conditioning have stripped his mind bare, save for the instinct to kill. It's all he knows, all he craves; the blood of his target between his fingers, at the end of his scope or along the blade of his knives. He's a cold-blooded, empty headed machine, and he doesn't hesitate.
Until he does.

Summary
The year is 1982, and Steve Rogers, Captain America and working commercial artist, is living in Brooklyn and trying to make it on his own. So when a bank error leaves him unable to make rent, he does what anyone else would do in this situation: he accidentally gets a job drawing erotic illustrations for a gay bondage porn magazine.
It turns out that pornography's not a bad way to make a living. The money's decent, the work is unexpectedly fulfilling, and if many of the men Steve draws bear a certain resemblance to Tony Stark, so what? No one's going to know Steve's in love with Tony. It's not like Tony's ever going to see it. What are the odds that Tony buys gay bondage porn magazines?
Tony, meanwhile, is newly sober in the wake of the death of the Carnelian ambassador, and life's been rough for him lately. He's recently single, he's desperately lonely, and he's pining after a tragically-straight teammate he can't have. At least he can show himself a good time. But what he'd really like to know is why the guy painted on the cover of this adult magazine looks so familiar.

This really should be in my private bookmarks with the amount of smut, but it’s too damn good not to put it in my public bookmarks.
All-time favorite. Perfect balance of crack and character analysis.
