Summary
It was enough to have killed Paris, before it wasn’t. In Paris, Mark watched humans wither as down came the Eiffel Tower and smoke filled Versailles. He hovered in a mad, red, and suffocating sky and ground his teeth into dust, and thought about the boundless span of this Invincible’s life suddenly withdrawing into a pinhole. He breathed fire, and it was good.
After the wasteland and the wreckage of titanium plates from which he scavenged William, it was enough to be close to him. It was everything. First there was his voice in Mark’s childhood room; dispersed through white silt; and then: his voice, his voice, his voice for real, keening for Invincible—
After escaping the wasteland, Maskless Mark gets a second chance with William. Unfortunately, something always gets in the way.

Summary
It makes sense, of course— in everything, there is its opposite. In the waste of his Earth, there was his mother, his father, even William and Eve— before they each decided in their own ways to put their necks to the chopping block. In the glory of the Viltrum empire, there is a huge, aching hollow that conducts rage and electricity through him. On every billboard screen are a few dead pixels where his face skews as it looms over him, parroting back his own voice, his own insipid, juvenile, bullshit dogma. In his father’s truth was Mark’s truth, the real truth.
Over the three days of the Invincible War, Target Mark goes sliding down the drain.

like iridescence exists for any reason other than to expect envy, and envy to beget blood. by carlemon

Summary
Mark hears this is what it’s like for addicts. Weaning themselves on and off and on again. He’s considered asking the prisoner, but he won’t risk the humiliation waiting to happen. Mark isn’t addicted. It’s not the coke, or the miasma of Everclear and bullshit Mark let Rex keep in his minifridge, or the home movies, or even the red red blood. There’s no particular thing he needs but to be kept from going still. Going quiet. Anything that keeps him moving, that’s his vice of choice, though the glimmer of his face over a dark screen in the pitch, promising underworld of night— the door to the office locked and double-bolted, but still, somewhere beneath him, fourth floor, unit A, somewhere around there:
a man to which inertia does not apply and all the laws of reality and physics cower from— there, a man to which all men sink towards or sprint from— the kind of guy who has never, ever known what it’s like to stay still, because lying in wait doesn’t count—
Certainly make it easier.
Target is the building manager of the apartments where the variants live; Sinister is the serial killer dragging down the property value. Hijinks ensue. Let's call them hijinks.

Summary
Devour everything in this world — she looked down at her own right hand — and silently smiled — "There is still something I haven't eaten!" — Conchita's last gruesome meal — the ingredients were, yes, herself — the body that has devoured every food — no one will ever know the taste of it.
— mothy, Evil Food Eater Conchita.
That one where Sinister Mark successfully makes everyone a lot worse, because what the hell else is a guy supposed to do in the wasteland.

Summary
"This is the weirdest horror movie porn parody ever.”
He should be sorry, so sorry that he lives in a world where any Mark ever existed at all. He should be begging and crying to be reborn in the world where he dies long before he nears comprehension of the gulf between them.
Sinister Mark watches Maskless Mark fuck William. He's very normal about it.
Alternatively: William Clockwell finally gets dicked down. God help him, there are always consequences.

Between us, a mirror smithed out of silver. by carlemon

Summary
Sinister Mark and Maskless Mark are at two opposite sides of a spectrum. Their perception of William, and perception of William's perception of them, forces them to meet in the middle. It is a massive turbulent shitshow.

To bite so tenderly. by carlemon
Fandom The Sandman (Comics), The Sandman (TV 2022), The Sandman Universe
07 Oct 2022
Summary
Snippets of the Corinthian learning to love and be loved like a rabid animal: all-consuming, endlessly-devouring, frenzied. There's a surprising sweetness in there, too, a little like a percolating sugar-cube. Ultimately, what the Corinthian wants is to experience personhood, and the only ways he really knows how to do it are dark and carnivorous and so, so greedy. This is essentially the other side of that. The boy is intended to be read as your self-insert, but if you want him to read as an oc, his name is Noah Dyatlov, age twenty-two, polsci dropout, total mess!

Summary
Jason runs a hand through his hair, looking conflicted. “We just showered,” he complains. The tuft of white hair pokes out between his fingers. His other hand drums on the spine of the book. “Edgar is about to banish Heathcliff.”
“Fuck Heathcliff.”
Jason rolls his eyes. “All this time and I can’t get you to appreciate the true value of classic literature.”
“You can keep reading.” You shrug one shoulder. “I just wanted to suck you off.”

Summary
"You love me back," Alma said. He twined his arms around Kanda's neck and held them there, looking half-crazed with lovestruck hope.
"Yes," Kanda replied, because he'd never been given the choice not to love Alma. Alma had been a kindness in a cold place, but never, ever a choice.
