Hood refuses to let Tim treat Dick until he's "as confident as humanly possible that it won't hurt 'im, and then some;" not that Tim needs the warning. He'd rather give Dick a less effective treatment than one that would harm him; his brother, he thinks, has been enough of a test subject. (Tim isn'

Loki's Song
Loki's Song
Loki has spent a thousand years searching for his Soulmate, traveling the skies and jumping through realms looking for the one whose spirit shines bright enough to bring him home. Tony has had a Soulmark since he was born, and knows his Soulmate is someone not of this world, but after years of heartbreak, after his parents death, after New York and his PTSD and losing Pepper, he has given up on the idea of true love, of a soulmate, and ignores the mark on his arm. When the Accords tear Tony’s life apart, he runs and leaves everything behind to live alone on the edge of a wild lake, drinking and staring out the window as he watches the seasons pass. But then Loki lands in his living room, and Tony comes face to face with his Soulmate, and suddenly has to deal with everything he had pushed away for all these years. Somehow together, they discover love, healing, and find the peace that only comes in the arms of your Soulmate. And at night Loki sings to Tony, the song of the Sky Traveler and the spirit light that called him home, two Soulmates whose bond was so strong not even death could keep them apart.

Awakened
Awakened
Ellana Lavellan is dying, the long dormant magic of the Anchor finally taking its toll, but her daughter Ashara refuses to accept her fate. While Solas looks backwards for hope, she looks forward, and while her time in Tevinter has provided her with a lead, only time will tell if it is a good one - and what its cost will be. A story of growing up, family ties, magic, and some mystery. ****Smut in Chapters 5, 11, 12, 24, and 27. All smut is clearly marked by an asterisk in the chapter title and in the notes, and is easily skippable. Sequel to my Solavellan fic "Body of Knowledge" - knowledge of the previous fic is not necessary, but certainly very helpful.

The Great Pancake Stakeout
It seemed like every other dusty, forlorn diner along the byways of America, but they'd eaten there a bunch in the past couple days, so Jay knew the food was way better than you usually got in these places. Especially the pancakes. Kay recommended them the first day, though it was almost midnight, and the first bite made Jay's eyes roll back in his head. Still, beyond the unnaturally high quality of the breakfast goods, Jay couldn't see a damn thing about the place that warranted this level of scrutiny. Then again, they weren't actually watching the diner. They were watching the men.

Childhood Regrets
Childhood Regrets
After their mom died in the house fire, Dean tried his hardest to be the best possible mommy for his little brother Sammy, since they didn't have a real one any more. Their dad... did not take that news very well. Though maybe if he'd actually acted like a father, instead of a neglectful abusive drunk, he wouldn't have had to have dealt with his kids coping in the best way they knew how. This fic is told mostly as Dean's memories from when he was a kid, and what led up to the bad reaction from John over Dean acting like Sam's mom. It's a prequel to the series No Regrets, but can technically be read as a stand alone, though the last paragraph won't be anywhere near as big of a deal as it's supposed to be if it's read as such.
