    Summary

    Inspired by this Tumblr post, a what-if about Aaron Davis and Peter B. Parker being fake married.

    EXCERPT:

    “Uh,” said Miles, and Peter knew he was usually pretty okay (like, a B- at the very least) at keeping up a cover story, so the kid was bound to have some level of ability to lie too, right, “This is my Uncle Peter.”

    Miles said.

    To his own parents.

    Was Peter inwardly screaming?

    Sure.

    Out of all the cover stories with all the people, how?

    Summary

    Based on a writing prompt I saw:

    https://x.com/KaylaAncrum/status/1748613400010121444

    "Man who falls in love with a sphynx and solves her riddles daily, in spite of the threat to his life.
    The boon he requests every night is to sleep by her side in the warm sand and wake up safe. As he grows old, then forgetful, she reconfigures her riddles to accept any answer."

    I took this in my own direction.

    Summary

    A group of pirates kill a merid, only to find that she was a mer-matron, and they have orphaned her young daughter. Who would they be if they did not save the child?

    They wouldn't be the legends they are now, that's for sure.

    How To Reinvent The Stormtrooper Armor To Make Your Surrogate Father Proud And Shut The Naysayers Up For Fun And Profit by for loosingletters

    Summary

    This is an AU of loosingletters' The Background Noise Of Defiance verse

    Instead of Luke inadvertently revealing to his anonymous holonet friend that his last name is Skywalker, thus revealing himself as the son of said holonet friend (yes, Darth Vader has a Space Twitter), he keeps mum and instead takes on Vader's job offer, becoming the new Head Engineer aboard the Executor, alias, the Lady. While he's thrilled to be there, thriving on getting to improve the lackluster hardware that gets shunted onto the rank-and-file of the Empire and building up a rapport with the mysterious Sith Lord who is fast becoming the father figure he never had, not everyone aboard is as happy about the young engineer shaking up the previously well-cemented hierarchy of the Lady.

    But ask Luke and Vader if they care. All Piett knows is that this is gonna be one hell of a headache and way above his paygrade. At least he gets to see his boss be put in his place by a teenage engineer and Lord Vader himself.

    Summary

    Alfred knew from the first ring of the phone that something was wrong.

    He stumbled on suddenly unsteady feet; the world reeling sideways as a strange sense of déjà vu washed over him.

    It was the same sickening lurch he’d felt on the night Martha and Thomas died: a feeling like the proverbial rug had been pulled out from under his feet as the building blocks of the universe tumbled down around him. He’d had a few moments like that before, little flashes of premonition that made him wonder if Baroness Ortsey, that mad old witch in her cell under London, had done more than drug his tea one time. But none of those brief flashes could compare to what he’d felt that night: the debilitating swell of sickness that had opened up the pit of his stomach, accompanied by the harrowing, agonizing certainty that something had gone irrevocably wrong.

    The same feeling he had now.

    Something was wrong.

    Something was very, very wrong. And the phone just kept on ringing.

    Fic request for Pennyworth!Alfred meets young Dick Grayson. Hurt, comfort, and shenanigans ensue.
