    Summary

    Sam didn't expect to have the full college experience, going back to school after years in the Air Force. He's older than everyone else, still figuring out how to be a civilian again, and never really believed in the whole go to college and find yourself thing.

    Yet somehow, Sam ends up with a group of kooky friends, a major he adores, an addiction to caffeine, and a fling with a beautiful boy, who is sure to break his heart when he goes back to Wakanda at the end of the school year.

    Summary

    Naturally, Crowley does the only thing he can think to do: He kidnaps him.

    ___

    (This is the first installment of a full series rewrite in which Crowley and Aziraphale serve as Harry Potter's adopted fathers.)

    Summary

    “No comment.”

    “You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”

    Bruce gave him a flat look.

    “Or maybe I think I can help.”

    “With a case of vandalism?”

    Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”

    “And what makes you say that?”

    “If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”

    “Is that so?”

    “That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”

     

    Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

    Summary

    Lex Luthor has Superman’s DNA, but can’t seem to produce a viable clone. In a last ditch effort, he injects himself with a serum made from Kryptonian cells to gain Superman’s powers… and accidentally knocks himself up in the process. This wasn’t in his original plan for world domination, in fact it might actually kill him, but he’s fueled by pure hate and alien hormones to make the most of it. On the plus side, he’s finally got a way to get Superman’s attention.

    This is entirely inspired by the moment the Fortress of Solitude opens for Lex and I had to stop myself from whispering “he’s pregnant…” in the theater. I have no one to talk to about this.
