    Summary

    "Clark. What the hell is this," Lois asks, staring at Clark's Bruceman WIP folder. Clark's first instinct is to fly away, but that would still leave his fic on display for her to see. His second instinct is to blast a hole straight through his laptop screen with his heat vision, which isn't much better.


    Clark, in an attempt to make some spare cash, unintentionally stumbles into the world of superhero fanfiction, becomes a prolific writer for Gotham's OTP, and tries his best to fend off rival fans who want him to convert to superbat instead.

    Summary

    “Ratio?” he asks, stepping a bit closer. “It’s me, Aventurine. Are you… do you want to go home?”

    At the mention of his name, Ratio stills, a light startle in his step as he turns to face Aventurine. He drops his hands, lacing them back together in front of him. He looks dazed, normal intensity lost from his eyes as they open glassy and vacant. They flex wide with recognition, but he doesn’t say anything.

    Ratio goes quiet, and Aventurine doesn't know what to do.

    Summary

    He’s hunkered next to his oil lamp, bent over his dinner, when he hears a voice. “That was kind of you.” Geralt’s head shoots up, brow furrowed. For one brief moment he’s baffled - how could someone get in here without him hearing? - but when he sees who it is, he stills. The man standing in front of him is the man he buried not two hours ago. “Didn’t think Witchers provided that kind of service. I thought you handled, y’know, making the deaths happen.”

    Geralt frowns, considering. His medallion is quiet, though he’s absolutely certain: this man is a ghost. “Who are you?”

    A faint smile graces the man’s face. “Julian Alfred Pankrantz, Viscount de Lettenhove.” The smile sours. “Or at least, I was.”

    helping a ghost find his peace is not the strangest contract geralt's ever taken on, but it's certainly up there.

    Summary

    Xie Lian found something in himself that he thought was gone—worn away with every mistake he had made.

    Faith.

    His arms opened, and the child was hesitant—but eventually, he fell into them, his body trembling with silent sobs.

    "I remember you," he whispered again, voice breaking as Hong-er clung to him.

    I remember you.

    I remember you.

    I will always, for as long as I live, remember you.

    (A re-telling of TGCF where Xie Lian has his cursed shackle placed in his eyes, blinding him. And yet, through all of his struggles; there is always someone watching over him.)
