Their bodies are a canvas of bruises. He sees the imprint of hands around the curve of her thighs, the nuclear shadow of fingertips mottled purple and blue against his right clavicle.

This is what happens next.

Bookmarker's Notes
He cries again. He can’t stop. “I hurt–” his sob aborts the confession before it’s done.
“Is she alive?” his father asks. There’s a calculated steel in his voice. A part of Clark thinks that, were he to say no, his father would get in his truck with tarps and a shovel. It’s terrifying, to inspire that amount of devotion from anyone, yet makes him all the more terrified to lose it when he says what he has to next.
-----
“I’ve been keeping this secret,” Clark admits, though it’s obvious now.
“And now we’ll keep it with you,” Lana says. “What you’ve already shown us. Whatever we still have to learn. We’ll keep you safe.”

Summary
If you ever tried to tell Amy that there was a time before The Doctor and Rose danced, she’d call you a liar... The Doctor and Rose just danced. It’s what they did. They made their way through their mad, beautiful, fantastic life spinning each other around and waltzing to a tango. Every turn the universe threw at them, they could overcome. To Amy, they were invincible—an indisputable fact of life.
But one too many turns may end up leading them on a collision course. One too many mistakes, one too many times they’ll have everything ripped away from them...
Entire civilizations see them as gods, but Amy has seen them in tears.
— An Eleven Era rewrite with Rose Tyler.

Summary
“What are we dealing with here?”
She doesn’t mean to rush him, but she’s only now realizing that they should have planned some kind of course of action for confronting this apparition, and it’s making her panicky. She’d spent the entire walk so worried about him that she’d forgotten they were about to confront a monster, and she needs to make up for lost time. Fast.
He blinks, again, and finally tears his eyes away from the woman. “What?”
“What kind of alien is she?” asks Amy, urgently. “What did she do? How many people has she killed? Is she going to sprout a plunger and start saying 'Exterminate'? Wh-”
(or, there's a normal-looking blonde woman in the doctor's room, and amy really has no idea what's going on. but she's going to figure it out.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Is he actually in love with the girl? observed his knight. Honor and duty, not passion, that had compelled the prince to marry Alina. Rhaegar did not exude the typical, exultant joy of most bridegrooms but he had treated his bride with every courtesy since their wedding. Then again, he was courteous with everybody so what difference did it make?
Yet, Arthur noted, the prince’s actions of late went beyond the usual concerns of a husband looking after his wife. It wasn’t enough that Alina was given all the wealth and considerations afforded to her new position as crown princess. No. It would seem Rhaegar wanted much more, far more, than that for her. He wanted her protected from and respected by all. He wanted her to be happy.
And none of Rhaegar’s efforts, Arthur was beginning to see, made any sense unless he was motivated by the one thing powerful enough to supersede self-interest.
Love, and only love.

Summary
Percy Jackson is done.
Done with quests. Done with prophecies. Done with gods who treat survival like a favour and freedom like a luxury.
So he runs.
Gotham City is far enough from Olympus that even the gods hesitate to look too closely and strange enough that Percy can almost convince himself he’s just another student trying to get a degree and stay out of trouble.
It doesn’t help that he can’t really smell properly anymore. Tartarus made sure of that. Instincts come in broken pieces now, like someone handed him a map with half the ink missing and expected him to navigate anyway.
Which makes Gotham extremely confusing.
Because people keep… doing things.
Standing too close. Touching his shoulder. Leaving jackets. Looking at him like he belongs somewhere near them.
And occasionally - very occasionally - someone tries to scent-mark him.
With ascension looming over his shoulder, three very confusing alphas, and one cute clone that he knows he shouldn’t feel anything for, Percy’s plans to stay out of trouble start falling apart around him.
Percy came to Gotham to disappear.
Gotham has other plans for him.Series
