    Summary

    “It’s not about having something to say, it’s about controlling the mouthpiece,” he says, elegantly swirling whiskey in his glass.

    The year is 1926.  Herbert Jean Winstreet finds himself, as he often does these days, in a smoky speakeasy.  Next to him, someone beautiful.

    Summary

    ​“If I rip it out, will you love me less?”

    “I will love you until there is nothing left of either of us.”

    ​To the Joker, the child is a parasite designed to make him soft, to make him civilized. He spends a frantic, sleepless week trying to poison his own blood supply with cheap toxins, hoping to kill the thing growing behind his navel.

    ​Instead, he only succeeds in rendering himself blind with fever, bleeding from the nose and ears in the dirt of an old subway tunnel. Bruce finds him, of course. Bruce always tracks his Omega.

    What follows is a quiet, claustrophobic nightmare of domesticity: Bruce nursing him back from the brink of self-destruction, pressing cold cloths to his burning forehead, and holding the Joker’s hands away from his stomach with a grip that is part iron handcuff, part desperate prayer.

    Summary

    Will Graham has been brought to the Chesapeake Manor by a job opening for a new resident mechanic. The aging house has many mysteries, but none more intriguing than the owner himself, Mr. Lecter. With a keen sense for danger and a knack for uncovering people's secrets, Will can't help the temptation. As he spends the summer fixing up the manor and learning more about its residents, he inevitably draws closer to the beating heart of the Chesapeake Manor, and the demons lurking in its shadows.

    Summary

    Tav did everything to make Astarion believe her dead—and to keep him from ever discovering their daughter.
    Years later, he murders her former matron—the woman who tormented her as a child.
    It’s an apology in their mutual language, but mostly a message: he knows she’s alive.
    Now Tav must return to Baldur’s Gate to face him. But how much does he know? And has she come to forgive him, or get her pound of flesh?

    This is a sequel to Cruel World, Full of Cruel Things, but I’ve written it so you can read it on its own.

    Summary

    Peter Parker knows for a fact that smart kids always know they're smart. Another thing he knows: it fucking sucks to be a smart kid. It means being watched all the time, it means adults peering down their noses, it means tests and homework and boredom. It means fieldtrips to Oscorp and superpowers. It means watching Ben die, knowing exactly whose fault it is. It means an internship at Stark Industries, it means becoming an Avenger, it means getting dusted, coming back, watching another father figure die, watching him come back. It means holding May's hand while she babbles incoherently, inching towards death. It means magic spells and forgetting and seven years of lonely vigilanteism. It means making wrong choice after wrong choice after wrong choice.

    One thing Peter Parker knows for sure? Smart kids grow up to be the dumbest adults.

    --

    Twenty-five years old, forgotten by everyone, stoned out of his mind, Spider-Man has an unexpected run-in with Deadpool that might just change everything.
