  3. Summary

    Flash ficlets examining Maedhros through the distorted lens of ego. Not his ego, though. That would be much too straightforward.

  5. Summary

    A season of very merry AUs, following daily prompts from LittleCrevette’s Advent Calendar prompts, the fic for which is linked in the first fic of the series. Some might be fluff, some might be scary, and there will probably be a ridiculous amount of modern AU which may or may not all be in the same universe. (See, I was going to just do that for the whole thing until I made Fëanor like 30 and then the next prompt was Elwing. Elwing! How are those timelines suppose to match up, I ask you—)

    Summary

    This was where Yue Qingyuan found himself now, in the dirty alleys behind the pleasure district, uncaring of the grime that caught on the hems of his robes. He was not searching for Shen Qingqiu. He should not search for Shen Qingqiu. Shen Qingqiu could protect himself, could handle himself. He didn’t need Yue Qingyuan to come looking for him, and he wouldn’t want Yue Qingyuan to come looking for him only to interrupt what was likely an extended brothel stay. Even if he really was in trouble, Yue Qingyuan had already failed to help him before, and Shen Qingqiu had instead rescued himself, so surely this time—

    It was a testament to Yue Qingyuan’s scattered thoughts that a group of mortals managed to sneak up on him.

    Yue Qingyuan gets kidnapped by a group of prostitutes. He isn’t at all expecting them to bring him right to the man he wants to see.

    Summary

    Transmigrating into the stallion novel he hates most is bad enough, but why did it have to be into the body of one of the protagonist's wives? Shen Yuan spends exactly two months dealing with harem intrigues, sullen maids and his husband utterly ignoring him before he decides to go on an extended holiday. Very extended. Surely no one will care if he just forgets about being married and becomes a cultivator, right?

    (In which Luo Binghe goes on a quest to bring his errant husband home and Shen Yuan takes him on an adventure instead.)

    Summary

    When Blockbuster burns down his whole life and Tarantula takes what isn't hers to claim, Dick ditches his life, his name, and his city for an anonymous, quiet life in the Bowery. Just till he can put himself back together.
    Jason is doing his best to fix his corner of the city, keep Black Mask out of his business, and arrange a confrontation with Batman, the Joker, and all the water under the bridge. He has no idea what to do with a Dick Grayson who's apparently in hiding and joined his gang by accident.

    But it turns out they need each other far more than they could have imagined, and if either of them are going to fix their broken pieces, it's going to have to be together.
