Summary
The sun never rises in Cloud City. Owned by distant gods, the world creaks along in techno-magical paralysis, making Contracts with spirits, and limping along in isolated enclaves while monsters run wild in the Wastes.
Five years ago, Arthur Lester, a private investigator, made a Contract with a Summon called Hastur. The deal? His soul in exchange for the identity of his daughter's murderer. Until the time Arthur's soul is ripe for harvesting, Hastur will give him power, and eventually must find Faroe's killer. If he doesn't, they both die, so failure is not an option.
Hastur, however, is not a normal Summon... and it turns out he's come here and chosen Arthur in order to stop a threat that will destroy the entire universe if it succeeds.
Unfortunately, humans aren't meant to channel power like Hastur's, and Arthur's body is beginning to break down. It's a race against time to solve Faroe's murder and stop the incoming threat before he simply drops dead.

Summary
When piano teacher and retired composer Arthur Lester agreed to take a minor composing job with the Arkham Community Theatre group at the behest of his friend Henry Armitage, he didn’t expect to regain his inspiration and zest for life. Yet even as he rediscovers his muse, Arthur learns that the production—a musical adaptation of a peculiar play with a dark reputation—has been plagued by mysterious delays, accidents, and deaths. At the heart of it all is curmudgeonly librettist John, an even more peculiar figure who may be harboring the darkest secret of them all.

Summary
Spidey hadn’t made it to patrol since getting that text message. As much as Wade valued their time together, he could understand that sometimes, too much Deadpool left a really bad aftertaste in one’s mouth. It had been a perfectly reasonable assumption that the webslinger was doing his own thing on the opposite side of the city, and he’d come crawling back to Wade when he needed a good laugh or a midnight meal, or both.
Wade should have questioned that logic. Three days wasn’t a long time to take a break from someone like Deadpool, but it was a long time to be missing.
There was a small, folded-up square of paper alongside the costume. Wade felt like he was cracking open a fortune cookie, only instead of some vague shit that applied to everyone and no one at the same time, it was two words scribbled in thick sharpie.
‘FIND ME’.

Summary
When mer!Peter rescues Prince!Wade from a shipwreck, they are irreversibly bound as soulmates. But humans and mers aren't meant to be together, so after one day together Peter leaves Wade on the beach, and returns to the sea alone.
Wade can't forget his mer, not the gold in Peter's eyes or their heated kisses, and he goes mad from the memories. His search for a way back to the sea leads him to Shiklah, and Wade is desperate enough to bargain with the witch-- his beauty and charm for a chance to see Peter again.
A witch's promise is a fickle thing and once Wade says 'yes', Shiklah takes what she wants then turns the Prince to a mer and tosses him off a cliff into the sea.
Wade wanders lost beneath the waves-- his beauty gone and skin ruined, his tail cut up and scarred. His charm is stripped away and he is angry, raging and violent and hearing voices in the currents as insanity creeps closer every day.
The oceans are vast, and he is hopelessly lost, but even if Wade finds Peter again, how can they be together when he isn't the same man Peter pulled from the shipwreck? He is a monster now, and Peter won't want him.
Will Wade ever see his soulmates eyes swirl Gold in love again?

After recovering from his coma after the Unknowing, Jon wakes to find both himself and the Institute changed beyond recognition. Jon doesn’t trust Peter Lukas, or the Lonely for that matter, so why is he finding Peter’s new assistant, Martin Blackwood, so infuriatingly hard to hate?
OR, what happens if Peter Lukas found Martin before he had a chance to join the Magnus Institute and turned him into a fully fledged Avatar of the Lonely? And what if Martin doesn’t meet Jon until almost a decade later?

Summary
Jon hadn’t anticipated just how quiet it would be at Daisy’s cottage. He definitely hadn’t anticipated how that quiet settles something inside of him, like balm on an injury he didn’t know he had. He’d thought the lack of human presence would make him more aware of the loss still sitting in the pit of his stomach, heavy and solid, but it’s … it’s nice to have the space to process things. To know that he’s currently alone by choice, not by happenstance, and that he has the freedom to just be. Jon lets the solitude envelop him like a weighted blanket, warm and comfortable and safe.
It’s a few days later when he first meets the man who pets the cows.
.
Following the loss of his grandmother, Jon takes a sabbatical and moves up to northern Scotland to stay in Daisy's cabin and study the religious culture of the village near it. There, he meets Martin, his apparent and unwanted neighbor who makes odd jokes and seems to exist solely to ruin Jon's attempts at finally getting some peace and quiet. But as Jon spends more time with Martin, he begins to warm up to him and, as time goes on, to fall in love with him.
It just takes him a bit to realize that the man he's fallen in love with is a god.

Summary
“Look, believe it or not, I had no intention of killing the Vampiric Council when I came here,” declares Nadja, sitting alone on the couch. “But Guillermo and I arrived at the first council meeting and did the whole, you know, the whole thing, the first day thing. Introductions and all that, yes hello wonderful to meet you, yes this is my bodyguard, yes he has slaughtered a tremendous number of our kind”--she flaps her hand absently--“normal first day things, you know? It was fine.” She pauses. “It got really fucking weird on the second day.”
Or:
Nadja and Guillermo seize control of vampiric politics, puppeteer world powers, and have the hottest of hot girl summers.
Unfortunately, they also really miss the stupid assholes they're in love with. With no way left to find them, they have no choice but to consult an Archivist.

!!! WARNING Under the influence of his unexpected hormones and mental compulsions in a mate-or-die situation, Superman likes to jump out of trees and have sex with Brucie. Bruce does not see this as sexual assault as he kind of likes having somebody as focused on him as he is on everything else. Bruce knows about kryptonite but doesn't use it until things start to get emotional.
This is sexual assault! You might be triggered or surprised. I'm sorry, but then this story is not for you.
Alfred is just an old human with a shotgun full of rock salt (in canon) what is he supposed to do when Superman kidnaps Bruce? He simply tells Bruce he will monitor Gotham for him and tries to make Bruce comfortable.- Language:

"Clark. What the hell is this," Lois asks, staring at Clark's Bruceman WIP folder. Clark's first instinct is to fly away, but that would still leave his fic on display for her to see.

Clark, in an attempt to make some spare cash, unintentionally stumbles into the world of superhero fanfiction, becomes a prolific writer for Gotham's OTP, and tries his best to fend off rival fans who want him to convert to superbat instead.- Language:

Summary
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.
There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.
“Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"
