where poison trees bloom by manicxpixie

Summary
After a fire leaves her with nothing but ashes and a forgotten betrothal, Rey is sent from India to the cold, echoing halls of Wrenwick Manor. The engagement is nearly a year overdue, and her intended—Lord Solo—is a man carved by war, more specter than savior. The marriage should have been voided, but he never withdrew the offer.
Yorkshire is bleak. The manor, bleaker still. And yet beneath its withering silence, something begins to stir. A memory. A hunger. A seed of something half-dead pushing through frostbitten soil.
He is running from a past soaked in blood. She is clinging to a version of this place that may never have existed.
Somewhere between locked doors and shadowed halls, they begin to bloom—darkly, desperately, beautifully.
A gothic romance about what survives the burn. About the ache to be known, and the terror of being seen. About roots that tangle… and rot.

Summary
At first, Lois is unconvinced. She’s been since the moment she flipped through his file. His résumé is riddled with vague location markers— Jarangpur, Nepal, Patagonia—and small-league writing credits. His work isn’t bad, per se— it’s just not memorable. Then, we have to talk about that web search. Seriously. The man might as well live under a rock for all she knows. She had expected, at the very least, a LinkedIn profile, but what she got instead was: “Clark Kent wins tractor pull at Smallville County Fair” — courtesy of the Smallville Gazette, population 47,000 (give or take a few cows), and whose website hasn’t been updated since 2015. As unredeemable proof was a photo of a grinning young man in flannel and what looks like an extremely offended chicken. No, she's not making that stuff up.
This is my take on Lois & Clark, which are, in my opinion, one of the greatest couples in fiction. It is mostly an office romance with lots of fluff and a bit of hurt/comfort and family drama. In other words, when Superman meets "Friends" and "the Office".

Summary
“So, Clark,” she says casually, leaning her hip against his desk. “How often do you use the X-ray vision at work instead of just pulling the portable machine?”
“Well, it saves a good fifteen minutes if Steve was the last one–” he starts distractedly, still clacking away at his keyboard. All at once, she sees the realization dawn on his face, going from horror to resignation in a matter of seconds.
Gotcha.

Summary
Lois Lane gets drunk and hooks up with a man. Tall, handsome, perpetually exasperated. Superman's charm, Clark's banter. One issue...which one was it again?
