Summary
He’d changed.
The expensive suit and watch were missing. Instead, he wore all black now. A long sleeve shirt, black slacks and black loafers. The black leather gloves were the only thing the same. This fact did nothing to calm my racing heart. Something told me the wardrobe change wasn’t a good sign.
“Oh. You noticed,” Roman Sionis said as he walked closer. “Blood is… difficult to get out of linen, so I like to wear something a little more… forgiving when I’m working. Or playing.”
He stalked up to me and grabbed my chin in an iron grip. Tilting my head this way and that, he hummed.
Then smacked me right across the face.
Right where Dylan had hit me earlier.
My lip split again; the scab ripped away by the casual violence. I cried out and held my freshly throbbing face with both hands. Blood poured out of my mouth and I let it drip onto the floor between my bare feet.
“You know what they say… do what you love and you’ll never really work a day in your life,” he intoned. A grotesque amount of glee in his voice. “You have a part to play now, doll.”
I was really beginning to hate that word.

Summary
I hate men.
Persistent and annoying vermin of the earth- they just never seemed to know when to shut up. A small voice from the corner of your mind objected, feebly reminding you that, hey, some of them are okay, but your rage quickly vanquished the thought. Two whole days of being cut off by pickup trucks, Subarus, and the like all occupied by gross, hairy old men with their idiotic hats had worn you down and this sleazy motel owner had been the straw to break the camel’s back.
You huffed in frustration, bunching up the rough comforter in your hands, freezing as a hint of smoke wafted into your nostrils. Your blood blazed with panic, and you scrambled out of the bed, eyeing the singed silhouette of your body, outlined with flames that were quickly growing.
Well, shit.

I have been writing this fic in my head for years upon years. In all honesty, this is a self-insert maladaptive daydream turned reader insert. This fic is canon-compliant and follows the overall plot of the MCU, starting before the events of Iron Man 2. Extremely slow burn. Reader is referred to with they/them pronouns. Homophobia and Transphobia are not plot points.

Summary
Peter Parker didn't mean to wake up in Gotham, with no one, no way back, and powers that barely function. He's hurt, he's hungry, and he's all alone. But most of all, he's desperate to survive on his own. The last thing he expects is to catch the eye of a notorious thief, or a boy his age with a sharp tongue as sharp as his knives, and lonely eyes.
Damian Wayne doesn't need saving. Not from rogues. Not from bullies. And certainly not from jumpy street kids with shady pasts and no respect for privacy or personal space. He doesn't need help, he doesn't need family, and he doesn't need friends. He's a highly trained assassin. He's Batman's fearsome partner. He doesn't need anyone. At least, that's what he tells himself.
---
In a city of strife and survival, Peter and Damian find in each other what they learned to never expect, let alone hope for: understanding, loyalty, and a place to belong. And for the first time, Gotham starts to feel like home. But secrets don’t stay secret in Gotham, and when masked identities collide, and a shadowy enemy looms closer, the bond they've formed threatens to shatter.
Because the only thing more dangerous than a city full of crime, is letting someone in.

Summary
In life there are those who sit at the top of the food chain and those at the bottom. The hunter and the prey, strong and weak, rich and poor. Something Boston’s father made sure to reiterate over and over again since childhood. It was basically the household mantra.
“Always stay on top, never let them take you down. Never let them see your weaknesses.”
To Boston, Mew was equivalent to a small helpless rabbit, and he was a hyena. Of course he wanted to help his friend lose his virginity, but he never thought it’d be with him of all people. This one wasn’t up for grabs, he belonged to Boston and Boston alone. A wounded lion that he needed another taste of. Someone he craved to dominate, he wanted so badly to ruin him. Strike him down and use however he wanted. After all, is there anything better than conquering another top tier?
Never in a million years had he anticipated Top wanting this small nerdy rabbit. What a fucking joke.
——
A rewrite of the show from the perspectives of Boston and Nick.

Summary
The blood on my hands was warm, sticky—too familiar. But I didn’t flinch. Not when his eyes were on me. Heterochromatic, piercing, taking me apart piece by piece, reading every twitch of my fingers, every shallow breath.
Ari tilted his head, stepping closer. His presence was a weight—heavy, unavoidable. “Bailey’s shaking,” he murmured, voice gentle, almost fond. His hand ghosted over mine, smearing red against my skin like an artist blending paint. “It feels strange at first. But Bailey will understand. Bailey will see what I see.”
My stomach twisted. The body at my feet should’ve made me sick. Should’ve. But all I could feel was the warmth of Ari’s touch.
“I don’t know if I can keep doing this,” I whispered.
Ari smiled—soft, reassuring. Loving. “But Bailey will.”
His fingers curled around mine, firm, steadying. Holding me in place.
“Bailey’s strong. Stronger than he thinks. I knew it the first time I saw him.” His voice dipped, soft and syrupy, spilling into my ear. “I’ll never let Bailey go.”
A pause. A promise.
His lips barely brushed my temple, warm, suffocating. "And someday, Bailey will thank me for it.”
And the worst part was—
I wasn’t sure I wouldn’t. -

Summary
The array glows pure white and spasms into black. He hears the screams of hell, as if the Burial Mounds had dragged itself from the edges of Yiling to Lanling Jin. The moon stills in the night sky, perfectly positioned over the array.
In a moment of madness, Wei Ying raises his hands to the sky, flute falling from his lips as if with enough will he could shoot down the moon itself.
The apocalypse has started… supposedly.

Summary
“There’s an interesting philosophical question in here somewhere.” Cas begins, sounding winded, “Most living beings are made up of mind, body, and soul. All three can take damage and all three can recover— but some wounds can never heal completely. Some don’t heal correctly either.”
Dean tried to follow along, but the answer was too vague, leaving him with more questions. “Get to the point, Cas.”
“Sam’s soul…” He held Dean still in his gaze. “It’s been shattered.”
-
"You think I’m so awful you’d rather take Lucifer? Well I took him, and trust me you wouldn’t want that.”
Sam didn’t talk about Hell. Especially not unprompted.
Dean's voice softened, “Sammy, I know.”
“No, you don’t.”
-
A speculative piece on soulless Sam as an analogy for trauma; what if he had a soul all along? It's just broken beyond repair.
