Summary
The last thing Dallas wanted to do was survive in that desert. After the last horse had disappeared over the horizon, after he'd wandered back to the scattering of bodies, after he counted the amount of men here out on an expedition that should've been easy treasure hunting, an easy plunder of the ancient pharaohs, he wanted to simply die.
Life had other plans, like the Professor who saves his life.
— a pulp inspired mash up.

Summary
Alastor felt his stomach drop, his blood cooling in his veins. Someone had seen him in the throes of murder last night, and he hadn't even noticed them watching. He had gotten sloppy, and now there was a faceless witness out there possibly holding that information to their chests or possibly spreading it. He needed to find them.
Vox. That name was the same as the production manager that had mailed him earlier, he was certain of it.

Summary
“I thought you didn’t care about sex, ” Husker said.
Alastor tilted his head, pondering the question with a low, drawn-out humm until the belt fell loose with a metallic clink. His hands reached for Husker’s neck. For a moment, Husker thought he might try to strangle him—his muscles tensed, ready for a fight that, despite their size difference, he was only mostly certain he’d win. Instead, Alastor slipped his fingers under the loop of his tie, tugging with deliberate force.
“Oh, Husker,” he said, his voice light. “I’m only human, after all.”

The Reign of the Paladin by ethelmuggs
Fandoms: Riverdale (TV 2017), Archie Comics & Related Fandoms
12 Jan 2025
Tags
Summary
These days, Jughead gets more questions about the Paladin case than the comics themselves. A couple years back, some kid at the Times dug up the newspaper records, wrote a retrospective: ‘The Greenwich Village Vanishings: 30 Years On’. The somewhat unfortunate photo she chose - of a disheveled, confused-looking Jughead and friends accosted on their way out of the police station, Betty’s eyes piercing the camera lens - ended up plastered across every page fifteen whose editor had taken a shine to their story. Strange as it is, with that kind of early beat generation, vintage charm.
In 1940, the Paladin, created by Jughead Jones and Cheryl Blossom, entered the pages of Lunar Comics. Just another superhero, perhaps, but a string of mysterious disappearances in real life New York begin to rival anything the two could write.
