Summary
Adrian is walking up the stairs to the VIP deck of his favorite Berlin goth-industrial club when he catches a glimpse of acidic, glowing green. It is a color he associates with the vitality of sunlight shining through green leaves, with the elegance of light refracting through an emerald, with the seductive movement of a viper in the branches of a tree, and with one singular person.
He smiles to himself when he sees it again, just a blip of color out of the corner of his eye as he accepts his drink from the scantily-clad waitress who tends his usual booth. From within the C-shaped, luxuriously upholstered bench he can see the DJ and all of the dance floor; it has been an excellent place to get lost in loud noise and zone out people-watching, a place to have a drink and just turn off his brain and observe.
“Now who’s that smile for?”

Summary
Did His lips kiss here, too? Hob thinks as he trails his mouth down the strong jawline, now thick with a beard instead of the scruff of 1589. Why does He still visit you? Is it to torture me? That I may despair to find where His tongue lingered?

Summary
“And next up in Men’s Doubles, Carlos Moya and Rafael Nadal of Spain versus the surprise pairing of Rob Gadling and Morpheus Andlos for Great Britain.”
“And the surprise doesn’t seem to be going too well, John. Reporters and fans caught the doubles partners shouting at each other during practice just yesterday morning. That can’t be a good sign right before their opening match at the Olympic Games.”
“Definitely not, Gale. They’ve kept their partnership incredibly hush-hush over the past few months—yesterday was the first anyone had seen of them on court as a pair. While there were a few moments where they seemed to work well together, those were overshadowed by the visible tension between the two players.”
“I just wish I was in the room when they made that call: let’s partner the righty with the world’s most elegant one-handed backhand with the lefty whose two-handed shots absolutely pummel the ball across the court. What were they thinking?”
“You have just as much insight as I do.”
The tennis AU only one person asked for and I had to create. I hope there is enough here that if you know fuckall about tennis this will still be fun.

I need you (like God needs the Devil) by Delta_Pavonis for ShadowpuppetStoryteller

Summary
As soon as Doctor Morphos gets the door to his office closed he slumps back against it. His head hits the wood a moment later and he lets himself start to tremble.
So many emotions. All at once.
A little AU of what ~could~ have happened immediately after Chapter 9 of ShadowpuppetStoryteller's AU To Sleep Soundly. But you don't have to have read that to enjoy this!

Summary
You can really understand why people named our galaxy the Milky Way out here, the wisps of gas and dust pour out in a waterfall across the sky. Blacks and blues and dark purples and whites. Stars–blue-white and yellow-white and some almost orange–glitter across the entire sky.
The only sound for miles is the murmur of nocturnal wildlife. Even the wind has decided to go to bed.
Yeah, this is why he moved out here. There isn't a sign of another human for miles and miles and-
As he is literally thinking about the lack of people, the sound of a motor in the distance hits his awareness and he curses. “God fucking-”
It is getting louder.
Fast.

Summary
Lucifer has always kept his distance from sinners. It's what keeps him (relatively) sane — if he gets too close, he is haunted by visions of the tragic mortal lives that landed them in Hell.
But in his new life at the Hotel, it is more difficult than ever to stay away — and when it comes to light that his daughter's insufferable facilities manager is gravely wounded, it falls to Lucifer to deliver his soul from Death.
In so doing, he falls headfirst into the sins, past lives, and heartbreaks of the one human whose contradictions he is powerless to resist.

Summary
*
Lovers in the moonlight.
Under the shimmering stars.
Cries of terror.
In the light of the fireflies.
Fever dreams in the dark.
Eternal shadows.
Radiant light.
*
Alarms bleared in Heaven.
Lights flashing red.
Angels panicking.
Sinners rejoice.
Trouble in the sky.
Over the pentagram.
Radiant light.

Short stories about Dream that are inspired by Nine Inch Nails music used as prompts, in some ways that are very literal and others that are more abstract.
