    Summary

    "There are…features…about Conner that don’t hold up to scrutiny. Things that don’t match either of his fathers, as disparate and unfeeling as they are to his general…existence. "

    Ficlet prompt fill from @stealingyourbones and @mikami1992 on tumblr: What if the Kryptonian cloning process required a little more refinement than simply adding human DNA?

    Summary

    Strange things are going on in Gotham: A series of crimes linked only by a sentence uttered. A drug that no one seems to be selling, but lots of people are taking. An old enemy reborn, or someone pretending to be him. Graffiti that can't be photographed by normal means. Bartenders disappearing without a trace. John Constantine is also there.

    Danny wants nothing to do with any of it. He just wants to sell burgers and survive. Actually, he'd like to go home again, but since that isn't possible, he'll stick with burgers.

    Gotham's vigilante's have other plans.

    This is why Danny doesn't do favors.

    Summary

    Geralt has had a miserable time in Redania, contracts far en few between, and decides to go fill a contract put forth by the Viscount de Lettenhove.
    When the Viscount tells Geralt to name his price, he names a night with him. A night with the Viscount, just to see the other man waver and refuse. To Geralt's surprise, the noble agrees.

    --000--

    “Butcher,” the Viscount breathes out, and Geralt tries his best not to flinch.
    Instead, he looks at the man coolly. The word from the Viscount’s mouth makes him inexplicably angry. He shouldn’t be surprised at the moniker, hasn’t been in a long while, but right now it stings in a new and unexpected way. He’s angry that the man that loves his people so much, has tried to save their children and kill the monster, now isn’t even seeing him as the last resort he was when he was a nameless witcher.

    The viscount blinks dark lashes over his blue eyes and opens his mouth to speak, but Geralt cuts him off.

    “I said I’d take the contract. You said to name my price. Are those still the terms?”

    Summary

    Love is a constant terror of loss, Obi-Wan instructs Anakin, once.

    He's twenty-seven when he says this. He’s had vague nightmares of war but no real knowledge of it. He hasn’t yet taken charge of a quarter of a million lives, hasn’t locked eyes with Cody and heard him say General, say Obi-Wan. At that moment he has no idea what it’s like to love the way his padawan loves, greedily, with grasping hands, desperate to see the depth of his hunger reflected back at him. He has loved, Qui-Gon and Siri and Quinlan and Bant, but these have all been loves that he was able to make himself ignore.

    He has no idea, yet, what it’s like to feel love that he cannot ignore.

    Summary

    “I believe you heard me quite well, Master Dooku.” Master Che said, lekku twitching in a threatening manner, and eyes saying that she wasn’t about to put up with any nonsense. Cody knew that in a battle of wills, although his general could be as obstinate and ornery as a bantha, Dooku was destined to lose.

    After several minutes of silent staring, General Dooku very, very slightly inclined his head.

    Another minute of staring—and Cody needed to learn that stare, so that he could use it when his general was being a dikut of epic proportions—and Master Che nodded. “I thought so. Make sure that you are appropriately accommodating, or you will have me to answer to.”


    Or, Dooku is forced to take on a med-corps member.

    Cody doesn’t know what to do when their tiny commander turns out to be an ik’aad!

    Waxer’s ovaries are ready to explode!

    And Obi-Wan just wants to get his flimsiwork turned in.
