Toughs cast their gaze about in fear and pulled theirContinue reading “Dr. Dementarian’s Poster Press”

“Hi, I’m Fannie Friday, with the City Record?” “Hello! Welcome!” The woman running the candy stall gently took Fannie’s hand and gave it a half-shake, half-pat. The intimacy of the gesture immediately made Fannie jerk back her hand in embarrassment. If the elegant proprietress was offended, she didn’t let it show. She was a littleContinue reading “Lily’s Temptations (demon tf, f/f)”

When he wasn’t tinkering with sound systems in his sweats and old college shirt,Continue reading

That didn’t fill her with confidence. A trap she couldn’t see wasn’t necessarily a trap lacking. She jogged down the hall, senses deployed in every direction,Continue reading “Request – Black Widow”

The hood jerked off of Eliza’s head. As her eyes adjusted to the gloom, Eliza saw Hyena standing over her. “Just so you know, you’re under arrest.” “Oh no.” Hyena raised her hands dramatically. “You got me.” “As indomitable as ever, Officer Mazda. I commend you.” Jackal stepped into the light next to his sister.Continue reading “Request – Eliza Mazda”

Harley Quinn hummed a merry melody. A retinue of armed guards escorted her, jacketed and strapped down to a wheelchair, through the halls of Arkham Asylum. Ever her jaw was restrained by a tight leather muzzle. It didn’t disturb her cheerful mood. She could still hum. She could still anticipate. The guards wheeled Harley intoContinue reading “Request for SaraA – Harley Quinn”

Tina rushed through the aisle of the liquor store. She scanned over the prices as she went. Her oversized denim jacket whipped behind her like a cape. Tina was angry at herself.

The future Dr. Margerette P. Scabsly trudged unwillingly into her Monday TA section, exactly four minutes and thirty-seven seconds late.
