    Summary

    Colin maintained that his recent bout of lunacy was, in its entirety, all Penelope Featherington’s fault. For, had she not been so very resolute in her refusal to speak to him after an off-season's worth of unanswered letters, it was wholly possible that – after having overheard his mother lamenting both the state of the Featherington baronry and the effects of Lady Featherington’s now rather indiscreet baby race on Penelope’s chances at a felicitous (if practical) match – Colin would have acted far more rationally than to orchestrate a not-so-clandestine, not-so-very-appropriate, and also not-at-all-truthful midnight tryst between them in the orangery at Vauxhall Gardens.

    (Maybe.)

    After all, if it was simply time Penelope needed to work her way towards forgiving him and restoring their once warm friendship, as his mother had suggested… Well, then a lifetime together would certainly suit that, with change to spare, wouldn’t it?

     

     

    — or, Penelope is a storm Colin is determined to weather. A different take on the entrapment of it all.

    Summary

    When Lex Luthor manages to create a Superman clone, and it turns out to be a literal child, he's... Disappointed.

    But no matter! He can work around it, he can even make sure the child is up to his standards instead of letting some half-wit handle it. He can raise a child just as perfectly as he can do everything else, okay? And it's even 50% himself, so it'll be a breeze

    Obviously.

    Summary

    "So, uh... how does this work? You snap your fingers and I just wake up?"

    Death lets out an undignified snort, covering her smile with one hand. "Please. Me snapping my fingers won't do anything. That would be a little overkill, don't you think?"

    "You know more about your powers than I do, lady," Jason says.

    "You are correct." Death smiles. "Does that mean you would like to return?"

    Jason gave her a long-suffering look. "Yeah, I figured we'd established that already."

    "Then, before you go to your new life, I want to give you a gift. Something that could come to assist you in your new life."
