    Summary

    Peter wakes up in an unfamiliar city where everything is darker, and he has no idea who he can trust among its citizens or vigilantes that seem oddly fascinated with him. He can't even trust his scrambled mind or his unfamiliar body with its different scars and much younger appearance.

    Summary

    Bolt Academy has everything: prestige, affluence, renown. Almost every world leader, CEO, athlete, and have stepped through its doors. Problem is, it’s only for boys. But it’s the only school with the most challenging architecture program in the country. What else is Annabeth Chase supposed to do? Desperate to achieve her dream of becoming an esteemed architect, she cuts off her long curls, binds her chest, and goes by the name of Andy - the newest male student on campus. Now she must travel the dorms, the locker rooms, even the hallways with her secret. It’s smooth sailing, that is until Annabeth’s roommate Percy Jackson - a nationally ranked freestyle swimmer - starts to have feelings for Andy.

    Coming to understand his sexual orientation, Percy navigates a campus filled with homophobia and hate crimes, all while every day taking a step closer to competing in the Olympics. Around every corner lies an opportunity for sabotage, and Percy has a target on his back.

    But when Percy discovers the secret that Annabeth has been keeping, hard choices must be made and neither are willing to let the other give up on their dreams.

    An interpretation of “She’s the Man” and the Korean drama “To the Beautiful You.”

    Summary

    It wasn’t necessarily misfortune to be in love with one’s neighbour, however it was certainly an event that relied upon fortuitous circumstances to end well. He’d tried as hard as a man rapidly approaching his thirties could to remain unbitter about the situation and some days perhaps even thought he managed it.

    Summary

    I made my way down the drive, handkerchief pressed discreetly to my nose, toward the small car that had become both my companion and tormentor in these months; the car that promised me the world’s distance while dragging me unresisting through its motions. As I placed a hand on the door handle, I heard a familiar voice call out to me.

    “Nick!”

    I turned, startled, and there he was: Gatsby himself, immaculate even at such an early hour. He was clad in loose trousers and a collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms, yet despite the casual air of his clothes, he managed to look as elegant as the night I first encountered him. He came down the marble steps of his mansion with a speed and certainty that betrayed his alarm, coming to my side as if honing in on a beacon.

    “You can’t possibly be going to work,” he declared, as though the very idea were obscene.

    Nick is sick. Gatsby insists on looking after him.

    Summary

    Dream is not coping well post-imprisonment, after he has finally set things to order otherwise following the Vortex. There are unexciting times with migraines, dissociation, and panic attacks galore. Also copious references to sand and glass. Almost like a leitmotif / metaphor, even.

    Title from "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel. (Opinion hours: 1964 acoustic version on Wednesday Morning, 3 AM album is the best version. You cannot change my mind.)

    The head pains, the sparkling lights, the nausea - they come back. Again. And again. He gets better at hiding the signs, cursing whatever has caused this. He gets better at pretending he's not constantly behind a barrier of glass, that he's free, that he's fine. Dream is constantly behind glass. Stained glass, bloody glass, rounded glass, broken glass, all muffling the world around him, filling his head with cotton. Sometimes he wonders if it was easier being in the glass cage. At least then he didn't have to pretend.

    Summary

    Dream has a lot of stuff going on: organizing a big museum exhibit, dealing with chronic illness, and trauma following being kidnapped for four days - and that he's just moved flats recently because he couldn't stand everything around him looking the same when he wasn't. He's doing his best. Then he finds his neighbor's cat Molly loose in the hallway, and returning the wayward cat turns into something more than just neighbors in the block of flats.

    Dreamling Bingo square D4: Just Moved In.

    Summary

    You would not want your spiked fishbowl to be rotational. Or the fishbowl has spikes, and is also capable of rotation with Dream inside as a means of torture. Fortunately, Jessamy has escaped, and gone in search of help...

    (He would learn, later, that the cruelty – watching him fall and gash himself open, bruise and break his bones – was the point. That the cruelty would only get worse and worse as Roderick Burgess realised Dream truly could not bring Randall back, and took whatever else he could instead).

    Summary

    In hindsight, Neal Caffrey should’ve realized nothing good could’ve come from Peter Burke smiling at him with such a mischievous glint in his eyes. But Neal was nothing if not a little too optimistic—a little too romantic—to not croon gleefully when Peter had described the two month vacation to Paris he was taking Elizabeth on.

    It was just two months with a different handler, after all? What could go wrong?

    Or, Neal gets abused by his new handler. Will Peter be able to stop it before its too late?

    Summary

    When she said it was Nat who killed Sam Jud had heard her, but as a priest he knows full well that there is a difference between knowing and understanding. Between understanding and belief.

    Summary

    "Jud was incredibly, ridiculously tired. So tired he believed he'd passed the threshold of tired, and had tread into unforeseen territory, in which his body felt like it was ready to collapse, and his mind moved a million miles a minute, but every thought felt shallow and bloated. It felt horrible, sickly. Like waking up after a fight, body bruised, mind numb. But worse, since he couldn't rest yet. It wasn't over yet. He still needed to write."

    OR

    A rewriting of that one scene when Jud's writing the story and the stuff after it.

    Summary

    He’s reminded, suddenly, of Marta: guilty only of a damaged trellis and a few amateur theatrics. Blanc had known from the beginning that she thought she was guilty, but hadn’t assured her of her innocence until checkmate. He did the same to Jud last night. Would he do the same again if it meant solving a case and bringing a murderer down, or bringing a wronged person justice? He knows he would, but it is not an easy thought.

    In the immidiate aftermath of Martha's confession Jud has a small breakdown. Blanc helps him through it. Written as a companion piece for "Matthew 6:34."

    Summary

    The water runs brown for a while after he gets in. Jud isn’t one for long showers, but he figured that he had earned this with how these past few days had gone. After all, there would be a noticeable decrease in the church’s water bill if anything. He pushes his head back under the water at the thought, rubbing his hands roughly across his face.

    ***

    Jud is having a hard time coping with the recent events at Our Lady of Perpetual Fortitude, but at least he has company.
