    Summary

    Gortash's steps are quick and precise, sharp somehow, and his feet are always too exactly where they should be. They come crashing down with exactitude at the precisely correct moment, giving his partner’s feet absolutely no quarter. He moves with rigor, executes every turn, dip, and move competently, but he doesn’t seem to feel the tug of the music. He doesn’t flow, doesn’t express anything as he moves. He is as precisely stiff and mechanical as one of his machines. He misses the point, misses the romance and the drama in the dance, treats it like Wyll used to treat his painting lessons: as a necessity rather than an art. And the man is domineering when he leads (and he only ever leads), steering his partners around the floor with an iron will. He seems to Wyll like someone too focused on controlling the thing to enjoy it. In short, his dancing is competent but it is not beautiful.

    Or was not. Not with any of the others.

    Summary

    While Miguel O Hara is explaining the concept of canon events to Miles Morales, he mentions one involving a non-spider Gwen Stacy death and Hobie is reminded of why he continues to do what is right even if it's against what others believe.

    Reader is a Gwen Stacy variant from Hobie Brown's universe !! I have not read the comics of Spider-Punk, so this will be just movie Hobie and movie lore.

    Summary

    That familiar analytical gleam in your eyes lives in Hannibal’s mind as he sinks his teeth into his prey. Despite your departure hours ago, Hannibal sees you sitting across from him at the table. Dining alone has never bothered him; yet, right now, he can’t help but desire your company—your scintillating conversation, your sharp wit, your clever smirk. Hannibal stares at the chair across from him—the same chair he’s grown accustomed to seeing you sit at—and takes another bite. Flavor explodes on his tongue, yet you are what dominates his thoughts.

    Your experience in criminal profiling means that you've met a wide variety of people from all different walks of life. You've stared down hardened criminals and fought for your life against people hell-bent on killing you. Even so, something about the FBI's new target, the Chesapeake Ripper, seems to elude you.

    Then you meet Hannibal Lecter: an enigmatic jigsaw of a man with jagged corners and misshapen pieces.

    Fortunately, you've always been rather good at puzzles.

    Summary

    Harry unwittingly starts a new fashion trend.

    “I have a solution for you.” She looks down into her messenger bag, lifting the flap. “Something from the ‘dancing legend’ himself.” The words come out dead pan, with a hint of fondness and sarcasm.
    “What?” Andre stands a bit straighter, mostly from confusion. “The cop-man?”
    "Maybe some of his… whatever he had rubbed off on it. Or inspire you to dance like him. I dunno, just wear it. You might like it.” She has to shout over the pounding music.
    “Isn’t that what that stupid pulp detective guy wears?"
    “No, it’s what the dance machine who got us into this church and gave you your track wears.”
    Egg Head spots the hat in Acele’s hands and lights up, even more excitement stretching across his face.
    “THE WARRIOR OF DANCE MUSIC!”
