"Emma's still having a problem balancing "being the Savior" and "enjoying the moments." Good thing she picked a partner who'll let her find her footing."

"To harm one's t'hy'la is an unforgivable offense."

"When Felicity needs a date to her cousin's wedding, Oliver comes to her
rescue. As the weekend progresses changes in their relationship develop. Began
as another trope and turned into a beast of it's own. Rated M for later
chapters."

"Jensen's got love letters to Cougar in his bag but knows he'll never let anyone else see them. It's not that he wants to keep it a secret, he just knows that it might be best that way what with DADT, Cougar's Catholic values and the risk of getting a bullet between his eyes. Writing letters in secret is one of the few outlets Jensen has.

But it's really just a matter of time before the truth comes out..."

Very good.

"AU-Jake Jensen left the Army before he ever had a chance to be a Loser. Cougar meets him anyway.

Sometimes what a man needs to have a chance at happiness is losing the battle he's been fighting his whole life."

"Cougar shifted minutely under the flimsy camo tarp, blinked and set his eye to the scope again. To any onlooker he was the picture of glacial calm. Silent, focused, and deadly. Inside his head he had a fiery inner monologue going that would rival one of Jensen's Red Bull fueled rants."

"When people tell you to be wary not to pick up strays they usually refer to puppies and kittens, not gangly, hyperactive seventeen-year-olds with bright blue eyes and infectious smiles, but Carlos thinks that they should. The similarities are undeniable, after all, not only in terms of appearance and mannerism but also the way you get instantly and irrevocably attached.

Jacob Jensen should come with a warning sign, simple as that. And possibly also a manual."

"“Okay, no,” Pooch says, holding up his hands, “there is no way I’m gambling for money against you and Cougar.”

Jensen frowns, leaning across the table to make wide, concerned eyes at Pooch. “Is it because we’re just that fucking good?” he asks.

“No.” Pooch knocks the edge of the pack once, twice against the table. “It’s because I’m pretty sure you can read each other’s damn minds.”"

"What if Chuck was gay? Sarah couldn't pretend to be his girlfriend because... well he's gay. What to do? Hmmm. That's a toughie."

"A series of stories following the adventures of Nick and Monroe after they declare themselves to be a pack and define their side of Portland as their territory."

Completed series, 2 parts

"I'd love to see an AU where Monroe is hiding (whether from his family, other Blutbads, etc.) and keeps in dog form to avoid detection. Nick thinks he's a stray and takes him in. Monroe falls in love with Nick between all of his inner-snarking.

Only without the AU part. Or, Monroe is an injured wolf, Nick has the flu, and they take care of each other. Also there's some sort of Grimm-work."

"Nick is hit by a spell meant for Monroe."

Amnesia

"It's not that he doesn't like Nick, but hanging around a Grimm involves danger. Because trouble seems to find Nick wherever he goes. That this time the trouble was actually heading for Eddie was new."

"Snake Eyes comes to Roadblock's home late one night to hide out and doesn't leave. His twin daughters are falling in love with him, his mother is taking his side, and for some reason Roadblock can't stop wondering what he looks like under that mask."

"Bruce Wayne can't possibly be as dumb as he acts, and Clark Kent isn't as ordinary as he appears."

"Thranduil never thought it would begin like this, he never imagine by the time they reach the end he would find that which his heart desired."

Ch: 3/3, w: 22k

"A different possibility of what happens when Bilbo is sent down to face the dragon. Really, it is an excuse to use bits of The Hobbit text, DoS quotes, and Sherlock quotes to have a fun bit of crack, followed by a fun bit of smut."

Ch: 5/5, w: 18.5k

""Captain... you do not suggest that I am anything but the sum of my genetic programming, surely?" He chuckles, darkly, feels the anger and fury course through him like a steady electrical surge. It is palpable. He can almost taste it on his tongue. "I assure you, Captain, this is who I am.""

"Five years ago Oliver Queen disappeared and was declared dead. Now, alive and returned to his city, he is trying to continue his life with the illusion that he hasn't changed all while hiding the truth. The truth about what happened on the island he was stranded on for five years. The truth about his double life as a vigilante targeting wealthy dirt bags. The truth about his dynamic as an Omega. Everything was going fairly smoothly until a figure from his past decides to roll back into town, causing enough of an upheaval that Oliver's carefully built house of secrets and lies may very well come tumbling down around him."
