    Summary

    “Does this new man even like you?” Darren said. “Or is this just the latest in a long line of cries for attention? I’d have thought Johnny Storm, back from the dead, would’ve kept you going for a few more months.”

    “What?” Johnny said.

    “I mean,” Darren said, shrugging with that kind of deceptive casualness Johnny recognized so well but had never been able to replicate. “This new boyfriend rumor’s everywhere, you’ve been snapped a couple times, but he’s never around you, he hasn’t met any of your friends. No one’s seen hide nor hair of him, and now this? He can’t even be bothered to make it to your birthday party?”

    --

    Months after his return from the Negative Zone, a surprise party awakens a host of old insecurities in Johnny.

    Summary

    May Parker is an expert on the strange and unusual, purely by association.

    She knows the rules: the time travel, the alternate dimensions, that’s all for the heroes and her wonderful, spider-y nephew, Peter Parker, because she is just a spectator. However, the universe had other plans, and now she’s been yeeted (yes, that’s the word) into what looks suspiciously like the setting of those rather grim comics her patients are always going on about. A place apparently called Gotham, which seems to be full of places like ‘The Bowery’ and ‘Amusement Mile’ – names that are not comforting.

    Peter will come and get her, he’s a genius. Plus, waiting also means befriending the most feral ten-year-old she’s ever met. Damian Wayne glares at everyone, critiques everything and apparently has no use for kindness—until May offers it anyway.

    Now, she just has to hold tight and, you know, not die.

    How tough can it be?

    Summary

    Of all the demons who could have possibly inherited his contract. Why did it have to be Vox? The pompous, obnoxious, desperate television demon who had been oh so obsessed with him for ages. And Vox would never let him go. Not now that he had him. What he’d wanted for so long now, always just out of his reach. No, nothing could persuade him to give him up.

     

    Vox gets ahold of Alastor's soul, and he intends to take full advantage of his new acquisition. Unfortunately, his feelings for the man make everything a bit more complicated. But Alastor might just come to realize that Vox owning his soul isn't actually the worst thing.

    Summary

    Hypnos was lonely. He had been lonely for centuries now. His mother had severed her connection from him believing that distance would force him to become a self-reliant god. His bond with his twin had crumbled over the years as Thanatos' work consumed all of his time. Even the staff at the House of Hades mostly avoid him. Hypnos hears them whisper about how they would rather avoid talking to him altogether. Hypnos tried to grin and bear it. He tried to keep hope that one day his bonds with his family would be repaired. However, that hope dies with each passing century. When Zagreus starts to attempt to escape from the Underworld something in Hypnos snaps. Hypnos wants to escape too. He doesn't want to be lonely anymore. When Chaos offers to send him somewhere where he can start anew, he accepts. What he didn't know was that by accepting he would get sent to another world, have a mind flayer parasite shoved into his head, and suddenly find himself the leader of a bunch of people infected like him. Hypnos is in over his head, but with his merry band of weirdos by his side at least he isn't lonely anymore...

    Summary

    Vox felt angry. Angry at Alastor for playing such a cruel joke on him. But he felt angry towards himself most of all.

    "You're an asshole, you know that?” Vox spat between choked sobs, the vitriol palpable in his voice.

    Vox felt the words clogging up his throat, threatening to spill out into a word vomit revealing his vulnerability. “I spent weeks on this night—poured my blood sweat and tears into making this date perfect but everything went fucking wrong.”

    He tried reigning back the tears to no avail.

    “I wanted to confess to you…but I guess that's out of the fucking window. Just…fucking leave.”

     

    “Confess what exactly?”

    The TV sinner looked at Alastor as if he grew two heads. “Oh my god, why are you still acting so innocent?!—” he let out an incredulous laugh. “—I was gonna ask you to be my boyfriend—romantic partner.”

    “Romantic partner? I was under the impression we already were.”

    Or

    Vox plans a date to confess his more than platonic feelings towards his friend Alastor. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong.
