Summary
“What superpower would you wish for?”
“Right now? Super strength,” Eli grumbled, pulling against the restraints holding his arms behind his back. He was bitter that he was chained up while Victor was free, not that either of them was actually free at the moment. “Or maybe quick regeneration. That way, when I got hurt, I could heal instantly.”
“Or you could stop getting hurt so much,” Victor teasingly suggested. He dropped back onto dusty stone ground beside Eli, letting out a deep sigh. They both looked up at the dingy walls surrounding them, only broken up by a short door of metal bars.
“Where do you think we are?” Eli asked.
“Why do you think I know?”
“Because you pretend that you know everything.”

Summary
Eli lunged. He caught the thing around the waist, wrenching it off of Victor and slamming it into the wall. It made a sound, a strangled childish giggle. The sheriff, to his credit, staggered to his feet and the moment Eli had rolled away from it, unloaded three shots, two into its chest and one into her forehead.
There was no scream, just a choked cough, before it laid limply against the wooden floor.
“Man, what the fuck?” Rusher had lost all his professional pretense. “That’s a fucked up little girl, man.”Victor hadn’t even caught up to what had happened before the next shot rang out. The entity jerked, convulsed, but its body settled motionless. Not a twitch. Not a sound. Just a splay of black blood fanning out beneath its head, already sinking into the hardwood like ink.

O Icarus of the fearless flight

Summary
Father Ever, the holy father known for his crusades sweeping Europe. His ideology at first had not been widely accepted, he preached that EOs, ExtraOrdinary people, were to blame for all the death and destruction that had gripped the world during the last few decades. Now, a decade after his climb to power, families were turning on one another. Neighbors accused each other of being devils. A witch hunt started looking to root out the cause of evil. Entire towns, cities, and even some countries were turning out their civilians for the holy cleanse. Simply put, Father Ever had started a small-scale genocide of a specific type of person that no one even knew existed until the late 70’s. There was only one thing standing in the way of his path to glory: Victor Vale.

Summary
That night was the first time in 17 years they had a drink together. Eli couldn't get drunk so Victor puzzled over why he had even offered.
It was four drinks in and the slight glassiness in his eyes that Victor realized with squinted eyes Eli was definitely not sober.
"Cardale, did you swipe Haverty's serum?"
"Don't call me that" grumbled Eli. "It was only a little bit. You probably wouldn't notice."
"I could kill you now."
"Will you?"
"No."
Eli took another sip and they stared over the railing. Cold wind blew his rich brown hair back and his eyelashes fluttered shut, cheeks rosy.
"Getting drunk on the rooftop" mused Victor. "How nostalgic."
OR,
The only one who could heal Victor was Eli. Victor wonders what would have happened if they never became EOs

Summary
Even when they took away his power to heal, put holes in him and spat on his dead body for good measure, Eli still found out a way to come back from the corners of hell alive.
But the problem is this- it wasn't intentional. The truth was he'd been dragged out of hell unconscious and against his consent.
And now a part of him was broken. Literally.
Now, Eli wasn't unhappy that he was alive but he wasn't quite happy that he had fix this mess either.
Fuck it. He really didn't sign up for this.

Summary
“The deal is simple – either you both get exactly the same treatment, or, you can sacrifice your comforts for the girl. She’ll be fed decent meals, have a bed to sleep in, and be warm. I will never lay a finger on her. However,” Haverty paused, “you must take her spot in my lab. No arguments, no hesitation, no struggle.” He flicked switches with every condition.
“Done.” Victor spat from between gritted teeth.
The doctor grinned. “Excellent,” He turned a dial and Victor heard the familiar hum of electricity. Somewhere deep inside, he was already screaming.
“Let’s get started then.”Victor and Sydney have been captured by EON and Mitch and Dom make a plan to break them out.
OR: Everyone's just tryin' to protect Syd with added Whumpy Hurt Fluff
OR: Victor's no good horrible very bad day(s) -

Summary
Victor Vale is restless and still hung up over the fact that Eli Ever is out there roaming the streets somewhere claiming to be a hero. Perhaps Victor has some sort of gut instinct telling him to leave his apartment and try and locate Eli based on a hunch alone. Or maybe Victor thinks a drink can temporarily solve his unease on Eli's whereabouts. Either way, he finds himself entering an elevator in attempt to leave the hotel so he can figure things out alone. But that all comes to a halt once he realises that Eli is far off from leaving Victor alone.

Summary
After his exodus, severing ties with both the city of Merit and his family, Victor Vale sets out with the goal of finding a cure for the illness that's been slowly killing him. But truly by himself and with EON on his tail, he's struggling- and no one knows this better than his friends and nemeses. For Mitch, Sydney, Eli, Dominic, and June, the chase begins: a mission to find the self-destructive supervillain before the worst can happen. Along the way, family ties are tested, old wounds are opened, and people who Really don't get along have to work together. This fic has been in the works for a very long time, I hope at least one of y'all enjoys it :-). Title is from the song Follow You Down by the Gin Blossoms.

A very self-indulgent crossover between two of my favorite books- named after a song that fits both groups of characters pretty well.

Summary
The holidays are IN, feelings are MIXED, the past is....[redacted]. Extremely canon-divergent — Victor, Angie, Mitch, and Sydney live together and hold a small holiday dinner, inviting Dominic to join them. There's no real plot, this is a one-shot with good feelings only. A gift to my Starshine. ⭐ and No.1 supporter and cohort in all things Victor/Angie. ☺

Victor has a poetry instagram account. Mitch is a fan with a lot of questions and a totally unexplainable purely aesthetic crush because:
"Listen, Dom, he has nice hands and great taste in music... and clothes. Blame my heart."
