    Summary

    Swanwick gave Bruce a level, unamused look. "Mr. Wayne," he said. "Please tell me you know why you're here."

    Bruce shrugged. "Won the lottery, and first-place prize is the government marries me off to an alien."

    (Or: in a universe where Krypton took an extra thirty-odd years to implode, Kal-El was sent to Earth as an adult, in advance of the ship containing the only other surviving Kryptonians; and a quirk of Kryptonian law means negotiating refuge, potential resettlement, and an alliance with the Kryptonians in general is dependent on marriage between a Kryptonian and a human. Bruce did what it took to make sure that that human would be him, instead of some poor unprepared civilian—but his efforts to learn more about the aliens, what they want and why they're here, and how, if necessary, to kill them ... don't go the way he's expecting them to.)

    Summary

    When amateur reporter Clark Kent goes to interview arrogant billionaire Bruce Wayne, he encounters a man who's opaque, difficult, and irritatingly hot. Carefully unremarkable and usually level-headed Clark becomes uncomfortably aware he wants this man, and, despite Wayne's undeniable entitlement and seemingly deliberate jackassery, finds he is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Clark's perceptiveness, stubbornness, and persistent generosity of spirit, Wayne admits he wants him, too—but on his own terms.

    Surprised yet drawn to Wayne's singular erotic tastes, Clark hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational business, his vast wealth, his unfair attractiveness—Wayne is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When they embark on a daring, passionately physical affair, Clark discovers Bruce Wayne's secrets and explores his own dark desires.

    (Or: A 50 Shades AU of BvS, full of bad decisions, terrible BDSM etiquette, identity porn, and actual porn.)

    Summary

    Dean has cystic fibrosis, a brutal respiratory disease that means he can’t cut it in the life his father chose for him, despite his very best efforts. He also has a give ‘em hell attitude and a dogged crush on his childhood best friend. Castiel has an absent father, a stellar GPA, a comprehensive ten-year plan, and—a lot of reservations about all this.

    Summary

    In the spring of 1944, the 104th Medical Battalion of the United States Army is disbanded, and its men reassigned to various infantry companies in preparation for their invasion of occupied France. For First Lieutenant Novak, this is less than helpful, as he has so far met his platoon’s designated medic a grand total of twice, and has both times found Sergeant Winchester to be the optimum combination of reckless, arrogant, and downright insufferable so as to make cohesive platoon function near impossible. When the time comes to move out, however, Castiel has to reconcile himself to the fact that men are going to go down and trust that Dean Winchester may well be the only person who can put them back together again. WW2 ETO infantry AU.

    Summary

    “You can kiss better than that,” Grimmjow dares, wet-lipped and gleaming-eyed. It’s a game to him.

    If it’s a game, it’s one of attrition. And Ulquiorra is losing.
