Short fic. I think.  
Another short, because it's all I've time to write these days. But ... I'm tempted to say "Nobody kill me!" for this one. It lodged in my brain, and refused to leave, but ... it's so, sooo wrong! Really, incredibly screwy. But anyway. Here you go.

Title: True Deceptions
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: ...... Alfred/J'onn. Young!Alfred / female!J'onn, but still. Help!
Summary: One of J'onn's disguises is someone Alfred recognises. From a long time ago, in a different world.
Disclaimer: The madness is mine. The characters aren't.
Warnings: Aside from the obvious? Cliches. Also, anyone know what you call it when it's het on one side of the equation, and slash on the other?

Dresden Fic.  

I just finished Small Favour. OMG. Awesome. And with all that happened to John, I had to write this. WARNING! SPOILERS! MAJOR SPOILERS.

Title: Momentary Understanding
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: sort of Harry/Marcone, but only preslash at the most
Summary: even crime lords need a moment of comfort
Warning: I repeat, SPOILERS. Of the kind that ruin the reading experience if you read this before the book. I am not joking. You are not allowed to look at this unless you finished the book, for your own sake!

 Old B7 fic that's been lurking on my harddrive. Be kind. It's 17 different kinds of crap.

Title: Mutuality
Rating: PG-13 for some violence and darker musings
Pairing: Avon/Travis preslash. Yes. You read that right.
Disclaimer: don't own.
Summary: AU set just after Star One. If Avon and Travis never made it inside the base, and instead had to escape together after Blake sends everything to hell ... Put it this way. Anyone ever seen Enemy Mine?
A/N: Travis is more Travis1 than Travis2, despite timing. And this is crappy as hell, and I've never really revisited it, so I doubt it'll be continued.

 IMPORTANT: Okay. I have a question for people. If I were to put up the first chapter of a fic, like I'm going to do now, knowing full well that I won't get to the next chapter for a long time, possibly months, would ye all hate me for it?

If so, for the love of all that is good and holy, DO NOT READ THIS! Because I will be a while coming back to it.

That cleared up, here you go. I told arch_schatten I had to thank her for the idea ;)

Title:  In the Hall of the Grey King
Rating:  PG-13. Possibly higher whenever I get around to later chapters,  but maybe not.
Pairing:  J'onn/Bruce, Hades/Persephone, maybe later hints of other. But for this chapter, just the first, implied.
Summary:  follows kinda from my J'onn&Hades short. Bruce is dead, in the Underworld. J'onn means to get him back.
Chpt summary:  the start of the quest ...
Disclaimer:  I own neither ancient legends, nor more modern ones.
Warning:  sort of ... crappy

Another lurker-fic. I'm in the mood to run through my hard-drive, and toss up anything that looks half-decent. This one's weird, and for a fandom that I don't think exists. I've seen no fic, anyway.

From Glass Books of the Dream Eaters, by G.W.Dahlquist. Random, I know, but the characters demanded it at the time. Probably no-one to read it, but meh. Anyway.

Title: Red Dancers
Rating: Oh, R. Probably R.
Pairing: Cardinal Chang/Celeste Temple
Disclaimer: the guy mentioned above owns.
Summary: They are bloody, and ruined, but still alive. That was all that mattered. Chang dreams.

Random crossover drabble  
Because the ST:TOS / DCU idea wouldn't stop bugging me, I wrote this silly little thing to ease the pressure. Last post here for about a week and a half, so enjoy if it takes your fancy. Warning: crack.

Title:  Pigheaded
Rating: PG.
Fandoms: ST:TOS, DCU
Summary: for reasons that I don't explain, Bones meets J'onn and, briefly, Bruce.

Gotham Noir part 6  
 Alrighty then. Next week I go where internet may not follow (or so my sources inform me), so I'm getting this chapter up before I leave, and warn ye all not to expect me back online for about a week and a half, after Sunday. My apologies.

Gotham Noir: The Man with the Lonely Eyes

Rating: teetering between PG-13 and R, by my reckoning, so rounding up to R to be safe.
Chapt summary: They didn't end up in a seedy rent-a-room for nothing.

Gotham Noir part 4  
After an absolutely snarl-worthy week, I bring you chapter 4.

Gotham Noir: The Man with the Lonely Eyes

Rating:  R this chapter
Warnings:  Murder. And this chapter is primarily about the mystery. No real slash yet, though it's coming.
Chapt Summary:  Clark goes to the murder scene. And has a long conversation with Gordon, who has a particular suspect in mind. Clark, however, has quite another.

 I'm in a strange, short-post-y kinda mood. So here's another spur-of-the-moment fic. 

Title:  The Madness of Others
Rating:  PG-13
Characters:  Bruce/J'onn, friendship, kinda pre-slash
Summary:  There is one part of Bruce's pain that J'onn has yet to understand in it's entirity. He wants to rectify that.
Warning:  Screwy. Really.

Drabble-thing  
 Drabble-type thing to take the edge off my persistent urge to spout angst.

Rating: PG, mostly.
Summary: just a bit of random introspection. Alfred watches over a sleeping child.

Gotham Noir part 3  

Okay, I gotta admit that while this chapter serves an important, nay, even critical plot function, over 90% of it was written because I simply could not resist the opportunity. Every noir needs a barman who knows more than he should, and a torch singer with a tragic past. And i would appreciate it if JSA fans (yes, you heard me) would tell me how horribly I've mangled their babies.

Gotham Noir: The Man with the Lonely Eyes.

Rating:  PG-13 this chapter.

Summary: Matches shows Clark some of the other side of Gotham

Gotham Noir part 2/?  

Part 2 of Gotham Noir: The Man with the Lonely Eyes.
Posted so quickly in part because of Samibee's incredible artwork, http://samibee.livejournal.com/13848.html, which would inspire anyone to stay in the mood.

Rating: R(overall), no higher than PG-13 this chapter.

Warnings: Again to emphasize, Clark is not Superman in this. He's not exactly 'normal', which admittedly is a tentative term itself, but the very much superhuman aspects of his abilities have been toned waaay down. He is not going to be flying around Gotham any time soon. But he does have a little extra trick or two that are gonna come in handy later.

Chapter summary: Clark decides he needs to talk to the elusive Mr Wayne, and ends up tailing him on a very suspicious expedition into Old Gotham. He gets a little lost, and is found by a ... friend?

Noir AU Part 1/6(?)  

 For the hell of it, and because I've always loved the genre, I've started a Bruce/Clark noir AU, set in an alternate Gotham circa 1948. Not everything will be period accurate, to warn you, but I do try.

Rating:  R, for violence this chapter

Pairing:  Bruce/Clark eventually, but mentions of Bruce/Selina, among others.

Warnings:  there will one major character death in later chapters, but just basic murder this one. Also, since I had to tone everything down a bit, Clark isn't exactly Superman here. Nor is Bruce exactly Batman. But they're close.

Summary:  "Two weeks ago I walked the darkest city in America. Two weeks ago I met the man of my dreams. Two weeks ago I was caught up in a web of treachery and murder to rival the best Raymond Chandler novel, embroiled in a story that beat out anything Metropolis had ever thrown at me. Two weeks ago I caused a woman's death. Two weeks ago, I was in Gotham."
