Summary
“I don’t think I need to tell you that I’m nobody’s boyfriend, but I’ll do it anyway: I’m far too fucked up, mentally and physically, to burden someone else with anything more than a casual fling. Blazer is out of my league, anyway.”
“That’s depressing.”
“It’s called being realistic, actually.”
“So it’s more realistic to blow strangers than get over yourself and find a real date?”Or,
Robert Robertson can't die, but he doesn't know this. He only knows there is a creeping coldness that he can't shake, and there's only one person he knows that can melt the ice within him. -

Summary
“He’s a problem, Blazer.”
“So, you heard?” She laughed nervously. He appeared in her office in that flash of static like always and it never failed to put her on edge.
His sharp gaze turned back to her. “Everything gets back to me. Especially concerning people like him.”
“He’s not a threat.” Her stern tone surprised even herself. She may have broken the guy’s heart, but she knew Phenomaman was nothing like….like Omni-Man.Or,
Cecil Stedman has some concerns where SDN's priorities lay. Blonde Blazer defends her team no matter what.Series

Summary
“Robert! You better open that big fuckin’ mouth right fuckin’ now before I run over there and get you my-fuckin-self!”

“I see that. You seem pretty calm about it.”
He didn’t feel calm. But that’s what Robert does under stress, he manages. Compartmentalizes. But now his brain doesn’t know what to do when fire doesn’t hurt.Or,
A minor rogue villain steals Flambae's fire. Mecha Man is dispatched to apprehend them before they burn down LA. The villain decides the flame can be someone else's problem. -

Summary
This day has been too much of an emotional rollercoaster. Her clothes are still dripping a puddle on the floor. She thought her friendship was over less than 24 hours ago. She thought Connor was dead and now she might be the one to kill him. It took everything Lora had not to turn the gun on herself and call it quits.
“Ask us a question only the real Connor would know,” One of them suggested, and it paused her self-injurious thoughts.
Lora wasn’t stupid. She knew Cyberlife had access to every inch of Connor’s memory. Whatever he knew, the imposter did, too.
The interpretation of memories, however….
---
Lora is a mortician for Detroit PD. Connor inadvertently gets her fired, which somehow results in her wrapped up in the revolution more than she ever thought she would be. -

Summary
“I need you to put on the show of a lifetime,” Hermes said, wiggling his fingers. “I’m talking an endless cast to choose from, an orchestra with as many instruments as you desire, a stage that will bend under your will, and an audience of the most powerful people you will ever meet.”
“…Why?”
Hermes grinned. “If you succeed in pleasing the gods with your performance, I will make sure your project falls into the right hands.”
Jay looked forlornly at his computer. He put so much of his heart and soul into this story and he’ll be damned if it was all for nothing.
And it was impressively thematic for his first performance to be in front of the gods themselves.
“Alright, fine. Deal."Or,
Telemachus is hiding something. Penelope wants to know what her husband went through. Odysseus wants to be someone he isn’t. Jay just wants his musical to be a success. -

Summary
Caduceus Clay wasn’t much of an Earthbender. He was taught by his parents, who were taught by their parents, who were taught by their parents…
Anyway. Colton and Calliope remain as the talented siblings, and the two most drawn to battle. Caduceus was fine with that. He could use his earthbending to shield himself and put distance between his opponents. He could make flowers bloom and moss gather where they’re needed. He felt he had a good relationship with the nature spirits. That was enough for him.
At least, until now.

Caduceus and Jester were captured and imprisoned in a metal box. It was only their luck that Caduceus is the only Clay unable to metalbend.Series

Summary
One second, he is driving his Bentley to the bookshop, tapping his fingers involuntarily to the Velvet Underground, with vocals by Freddie Mercury. He should’ve pocketed the tape before a fortnite flew by, but it slipped his mind.
The next second, as he was speeding 90mph over central London’s speed limit, he was rocketed out of his seat and stumbled across a dank room. At the speed he was flung, he tripped over his own feet, flipped into a roll, and came to rest ass-over-tea-kettle on the opposing wall.
He groaned out, more pissed and confused than he’s been in his long life, “What the FUCK?”
“I could ask the same thing.”OR,
Crowley ends up in another universe with a serial killer who looks like his angel.
Alternatively, Malcolm is struggling to come to terms with this angel who bares a resemblance to his father.
