    Summary

    UPDATES WILL BE SPORADIC as civic engagement is being a little extra right now...

     

    A Prime is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to… give or take that one small paracausal nudge.

    Or, that time the Matrix got impatient and stole a truck...

    It's only going to get more and more hazardous to binge all of this:
    ✔️ Optimus Prime being iconically wholesome
    ✔️ Cybertron being an exotic mechanical wonderland
    ✔️ Mystery, adventure, and intrigue
    ✔️ Not so much a slow burn as a long fuse
    ❌ Civil war

    Summary

    It’s not like the world is spilling over with clones, is the thing; especially not genetically stable super-powered hybrid clones with–

    Wait, Tucker thinks, and lifts his head to stare blankly at the poster on his bedroom wall. Well, there’s a lot of posters on all of his bedroom walls, admittedly, but a specific poster on a specific wall.

    You’re a genetically stable super-powered hybrid clone,” Tucker says to his poster, still staring at the digitally-rendered face of a teen idol superhero. Superboy continues to grin cockily at him, because he’s a special edition poster and obviously isn’t gonna stop doing that.

    Tucker, very slowly, reaches for his phone and types something into Bing after all.

    Summary

    "Crap!" the food truck worker shrieks in alarm. "Don't hurt him, Superman, he's just a kid!"

    Clark . . . pauses, then looks up from the kid that he is currently pinning into the street as said kid struggles underneath him.

    "'Hurt him'?" he asks in reflexive confusion, and then realizes how batting a teenager around like a person-shaped cat toy and pinning him to the street hard enough to crack it probably actually looks to an outside observer.

    . . . um.

    Whoops.

    "Um," he starts awkwardly, and then the kid slips his pin while he's distracted and throws his arms around his neck with a gleeful laugh and a bright grin.

    "Dad!" he crows triumphantly, and hugs Clark harder than literally anyone has ever hugged him before.

    Summary

    Usagi is fed up with pining after Tuxedo Mask for 4 years now, and decides to take some unconventional actions. She's done with this shit, wants to live a little, and also maybe get some pointers. Meanwhile, Mamoru has been pining for Usagi even longer than that. Guess who she goes to ask for help?

    An utterly self indulgent classic "Teach Seduction" trope story with a clichee love square twist.

    Summary

    Olivia Draper had been a good idea at first. She could pass for older than Tim could pull off while masculine and women really could get into places easier if they had a pretty face. With makeup and some stylish-yet-inexpensive clothes, Olivia could pull off most undercover ops. She was Tim’s Matches Malone.

    Then Hood had shown up on the scene.
    -----------------------------------
    When Jason met Olivia, he hadn't intended to pull a Bruce and take the scrappy teen informant under his wing. She just kept showing up where he was doing business. He had no other choice than to keep an eye on her. And kit her out with armor so she wouldn't accidentally get shot. And make sure she was being treated fairly by her mysterious boss.

    And, okay, maybe become her big brother.
    -----------------------------------
    AKA I write an enemies-to-caretakers story where neither party knows the other's identity until they're already invested.
