Summary
Catman. Deadshot. The questionably sane urge to have your off-again, on-again partner tear you open and start loving on all the gross bits you don't want people to see. What more do you really need? Happy pride month.
-Believe it or not, this is one of the fanfics that was going to stay in my drafts, never to see the light of day because it was a "kill your darlings" kind of thing what with my standards...and then I remembered Nicole Maines's run on Secret Six had released a day or 2 after issue #4 came out, and also I wasn't homeless anymore. Still in a living situation where I could get kicked out or another attempt could be made on my life at any time, but hello again, Catshot nation. We're eating crumbs, but we sure are eating, and I've got a few ideas kicking around for what I could do with these characters in the future.

Summary
Oh, you meant so much
Have you given up? - The National, "Exile Vilify"Someone dies. Someone always dies, when you're a wild animal. But you never expect it to be someone so close to your heart, a parent nonetheless; still, there's only so long a cat can live. And the nature of death is often not fair, even when one has lived an exceedingly long life. Even when one has outlived a good number of their own children.
A final farewell of sorts to my first ever OC and first Warriors OC, Hawktalon [it/they pronoun in English, hence the odd grammar quirks]. Rest well, little buddy. You brought me so much joy in the 20 years this fanbase has existed.

Summary
When you spend several years working and living with other people on a daily basis, you get to know them more than you'd like to. And if you're that sort of person, you shoulder a little of their burdens for them. Yeah, Crane's a piece of shit, but he's not the biggest piece of shit out there. Neither is Floyd, much as he'll deny it to your face.
When given a moment of downtime, two men who should have long been dead snark about the perils of existence over a quick fuck in a hotel room. They're far from lovers, but maybe they're sort of friends in that generally antagonistic "I'd push you off a cliff with minimal hesitation, but you're also one of 7 people I trust with my personal information because you're not bad at carrying that weight" way?

Summary
"Didn’t think I’d like silver foxes.” A pause. “Didn’t think I’d ever be one either.”
“…Yeah. You and me both, Tomcat. You and me both.” [...] “And honestly, I got no damn clue what to do about it. Other than try to get us both killed.”
-
Does anyone else but myself and Gail Simone remember that Catman tried to kill himself after the Cats in the Cradle arc? No? Does anyone but me remember that with the lives both Thomas and Floyd lead, they're probably not getting better but the suicidal impulses have a baseline? Also no? Alright. Goddamn. Anyways, what could be better than going out to the middle of nowhere while a mission is in progress and having a talk about the future you never thought you'd live to see where prying ears can't listen?...Honestly, probably a lot of things are better than that. But fuck it, Catman and Deadshot were never capable of anything resembling normalcy. They attempt to talk if nothing else, and that's a miracle in and of itself.

Summary
Shout out to Gail Simone for not pulling an Anne Rice and letting me play in her sandbox with her and Nicola Scott's cool toy. I absolutely adore Jeannette and think she's sorely underused outside of porn fics [RIP LiveJournal]. I've forgotten where exactly Gail stated that Jeannette is "the beating heart of the Secret Six", but at Wondercon 2024 she at least said Jeannette was her favorite to write. And I, resident Ragdoll cosplayer, took that extremely personally.

"We accept the love we think we deserve." Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Unfortunately, a great many of us believe we don't deserve love at all. Floyd Lawton is one of these people. Jeannette is trying to break through to him, at least, however daunting of a task it is. And when he wakes in the middle of the night from a bad dream, maybe she makes a little more progress.

Strix has had families before. Or at least, she has had people who claimed to be her family, even if most of the time it was a lie. But they were never like these people.

Thanks I'm just going to lay down and cry forever. One of the greatest fics to come out of the Secret Six fandom, and explores a deeply underutilized character.

Seeing anyone write Jeannette is so rare, and even though it's an old fic it holds up. Always lovely when people fill in the gaps that canon makes!
