    Summary

    Naples in 1946 rebuilt itself out of rubble and rationing before anyone came to help - glare on white stone, shadow in every doorway, a city running on black-market nerve and stubborn pride, still deciding what it wants to become.

    Erik Lehnsherr has been hunting the same man across that kind of ruin for over a year now - long enough to know the work, not long enough to get careless with it. Not for this one.

    The English attaché at the ballroom door should be easy. Erik knows that look - the polish, the access, the particular kind of trained charm that opens doors without ever quite lying. He knows exactly how to play a man like that. He's done it before.

    He's hunted through half of Europe's ruins and learned to read every one of them the same way. Naples won't be read that way. Neither will the man standing in it.

    Summary

    "This isn't a concentration camp," Delta says, calm, like he's been rehearsing it. Erik looks at the gun on his hip, the guards behind him in the corridor, the bars between them.

    He smiles with a lot of teeth. "I think I'd know that better than you."

    AU in which the beach divorce didn't happen and Erik decides to stay and help Charles start his school. But despite their clean break, the government isn't ready to let the mutants disappear into hiding.

    Summary

    The man waved a hand at her from the doorway. “Hi, Donut.”

    Princess Donut narrowed her eyes at him.

    “Come on, Carl”, Miss Beatrice said, taking his hand and pulling him towards the bedroom. The man nearly stumbled on Princess Donut’s precious Mouse toy that lay on the floor. They both giggled drunkenly. Princess Donut sighed. Another of these kinds of manservants. Princess Donut watched them go, judging harshly.

    Carl. She rolled that name around in her mind. Carl.

    It was a good enough name, she supposed.

    Life through Princess Donut's eyes before the Collapse.

    Summary

    Strange things are going on in Gotham: A series of crimes linked only by a sentence uttered. A drug that no one seems to be selling, but lots of people are taking. An old enemy reborn, or someone pretending to be him. Graffiti that can't be photographed by normal means. Bartenders disappearing without a trace. John Constantine is also there.

    Danny wants nothing to do with any of it. He just wants to sell burgers and survive. Actually, he'd like to go home again, but since that isn't possible, he'll stick with burgers.

    Gotham's vigilante's have other plans.

    This is why Danny doesn't do favors.
