Summary
[“There’s this thing that you do,” Alec murmurs. “This power you have that makes you look indestructible.”
“You know that’s not true,” says Magnus.
“I do,” replies Alec, “But even then … there are times when I’m not so sure.”]
1992, New York, a city hanging on to politically-tinged Cold War feelings. Alec Lightwood is a Corporate - a superhero for hire - jostling with a secret identity, holding on to a sense of a normal life, and the fact vigilantes keep turning up murdered in the gutters with no explanation.
Things can only get worse when Magnus - an investigative journalist - starts peeling back Alec’s carefully-crafted mask … and then there’s the mysterious vigilante with the power to move things with his mind who keeps turning up wherever Alec goes - Alec just can’t cut a break.
A neonoir slow-burn superheroes AU about identity, truth, and falling in love without knowing someone’s real name (ft. everyone has superpowers because I couldn’t help myself).

hear. me. out.
I have NO idea how I've could missed out on this absolute GEM for so long but this is the best christmas present ever.
the language, canonical caracters, descriptions, plot, superherous theme - literally everything is on point.
And the length... WOW. The author done tremendous job, I simply have no words.
Would LOVE to re-read it once I forget everything a little bit, so it's a very well-deserved bookmark.
Big big love <333 -

Summary
Will shouldn't be here, but he is. He shouldn't go inside, but he does. He shouldn't stay, and yet…
He's getting close to his heat. It comes like clockwork, so he can't even use the excuse that it snuck up on him. Sure, maybe the severity in the days leading up to it has felt a little more powerful than usual, but he can chalk that up to stress. Because he is stressed. Hannibal helps, when he's stressed. Hannibal doesn't comment on his scent, the gold in his eyes, the heat radiating off him like a furnace. He's polite like that. He's safe, he's a good Alpha, impeccably in control of his instincts. He couldn't break even if Will wanted to break him.
So he's here. He's inside. He stays.

My headcanon of season 4.
Didn't expect it to be THAT good but here we are.
Not my usual type of bookmark but I just cannot lose this work (and part 2)!
Incredible language, perfectly canonical characters, logical endings. Just beautiful.
Love the idea with the rings and unofficial marriage too. -

Summary
Will is an awkward, single Submissive who has to get a temporary partner so he can pass an Alignment Health Assessment for his job. Hannibal is a Dom agreeable to low-level ‘sessions’ in which no sex or feelings will get involved.
None of that works out quite to plan.

Me personally? I loooove it ^_^
Haven’t read about switch hannigram before so that’s a first! A really intriguing idea and the plot isn’t bad either.
Although it’s more like dom!will by the end of the story so if it’s something you like, the work is for you x -

Summary
When Will opens Hannibal's letter, it wakes something primal locked inside of him. He doesn't understand it, but what he does know is that he has to go to Baltimore hospital for the criminally insane, and he has to go now.
Dear Will. He could still see the words, written in the curly elegance of Hannibal's hand, burning behind his eyelids. He breathed deeply through his nose to try and calm the unsteady flutter of his heart. A deep breath. One that clawed at his nose, one that penetrated his nostrils like a liquid, a smothering sting he felt intruding behind his eyes.
One. Deep. Breath.
And then it took him.
