My Life on the D-List by Aishuu
Halloween is the worst night in Gotham, and Dick's stuck rounding up D-list villains all night. Hee!

Satisfaction Brought It Back by SpiritsFlame & slippin_into_darkness
Bruce always thought that Superman's cute shtick of rescuing cats from trees was a bid for publicity—until a confrontation with a magic user leaves him stuck as a cat. He learns how mistaken he was when Superman not only rescues him, but takes him back to a small Metropolis apartment. The opportunity to learn more about the alien can't be ignored, but is Bruce ready for everything he will learn about someone he has only ever regarded with distrust and dislike? This is a nice look at Clark through Bruce's slowly less suspicious eyes.

love language by aloneintherain
Easy, Zuko thought again. They were in war times. They were the world's last hope, the last flickering flame of the rebellion, and yet when they came together like this, reduced to a sprawl of limbs, five teenagers pushing up against the warmth that radiated from Zuko, he felt almost peaceful. <333

Brooklyn Nine Nine

The Nine Nine engages in a Halloween candy eating contest. Reads like it could have come right out of an episode.

Ocean's 8

burning up like a wildfire by parcequelle
Being naked with Lou, it turns out, is not all that different to being clothed with Lou; it's still fun, it still fits, it still sings its way along her veins like an apt translation. They kiss, and Lou nibbles her neck, and Debbie finally learns what Lou's tattoo tastes like (the rest of her skin, but it's a decades-old curiosity satisfied). Set early in the movie, this is hot and sweet.

The Chronicles of Prydain

Eilonwy Wanderer by Edonohana
Taran Wanderer was always my favorite of the Prydain books, but I was always sad Eilonwy didn't get her own journey of self-discovery. This story is that journey and it's lovely. *happy sigh*

Avengers

From Hydra with Love by insomnia1999
This is a fun James Bond/Avengers mashup with some really really terrible puns in it.

it's good to be young but let's not kid ourselves by suzukiblu
"Er," Falsworth says.

"Jesus fucking fuck," Dugan says, better encapsulating the group's reaction at large.

"This is the best mission we've ever had," Bucky says, as the one and only outlier. He has never sounded so delighted to be surrounded.

"I really don't . . . think . . . um," Steve trails off uselessly, just staring at him. And the . . . and the children. The very small and annoyed-looking children who are clustered up like ducklings around Bucky's everywhere, more or less. The Howling Commandos rescue some tiny Steve clones from Hydra. Bucky is thrilled, even if no one else is. Hilarious and sweet.

Nobody's Idea of a Vacation by scioscribe
Fun little adventure with Shuri, Nakia and Ross.

Slip and Slide by Omnicat
T'Challa tries ice skating. He's not good at it. Shuri heckles. This is adorable. #siblings!

Steve Rogers Is (Not) A Good Influence by noxlunate
"Steve Rogers has never been a good influence on anyone. Ever." Bucky tells Peter with the utmost seriousness and Peter is darting a look at the door like maybe he can survive jumping out of the car going 70 on the 101. Steve feels for Peter, he does.

"He uh, he tells me to eat vegetables?" Peter tries and Steve flashes him a smile at the defense of Steve's influencing abilities.

"Jesus christ." Bucky says again, emphatically.

Steve stares at him a little like he hung the moon. This is hilarious and adorable.
