Summary
“So, we need to be really scary?” Jas asked. Her eyebrows almost touched. She must be thinking really hard.
“Yeah. But… I don’t know how to be scary.”
Mr. Ginger meowed again.
Jas looked at him. The pompom on her hat bounced as she tilted her head back and forth in thought. “It needs to be a threat he’ll believe. I’ve heard some of the things Aunt Marnie and Uncle Shane have said when they’re real mad.”
“No bad words, though,” said Yuuma. Threatening Mr. Sterling wouldn’t do any good if they got in trouble before they could scare him.
She rolled her eyes. “Of course not!”

“Harls, baby, love of my life, you realise that you haven’t really met everyone yet? And they’re gonna want to know who you are, what you do, why you’re here. Right?” Peter said calmly.
“I’ve met Natasha! And Tony and Pepper! Also Bruce that one time! Why am I going to be questioned?!”
“Shovel talk.” Pepper said as she walked into the room. “You’ll be fine. They did this when they met Kate too.”

Almost the entire team have been able to come for dinner. It's almost everyone's first time meeting Harley in person, instead of from brief mentions by Peter or Tony. They just want to make sure the newcomer is good for Peter. He is.

Steve attempts to salvage a difficult day. Bucky navigates an ambush. Fury shares, because he's nice like that. And well-meaning intentions lead to some stupid-ass decisions.

Summary
The war with Muzan is over. Demons no longer exist(Or do they?). Tanjirou goes to Gotham. There he meets a handsome black-haired man named Tim Drake. They started dating about 2 months ago. Tanjiro has yet to meet Tim's family. Tanjiro finally convinces his partner to let Tanjiro meet his family through a (maybe) civil dinner. How will this turn out? Read and find out!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
AU: After the war with Muzan, Tanjirou was turned into a demon, luckily Kanao had a cure. However, that cure wasn't fully tested. Tanjirou still has some of his demonic powers like regeneration. Luckily he does not need to feed on humans thanks to cure and still has his sense of self. After all this, our dear protagonist wanted to move somewhere away from Japan because of the memories he had there. He ended up moving to Gotham. Please ask if you have any questions! (Yes, tanjiro does still have some hunger, but he eats animal meat to satisfy it.)

Summary
“C’mon now, what’s this about?” he drawled. “Bit far in the woods for a ‘talk.’” A more suspicious member of the Mighty Nein--Beauregard, probably, or Nott herself--would’ve seen a threat in the way Nott had grabbed him and darted into the trees beside their campside, throwing a frantic ‘I need to talk to you!’ in their wake. Molly generally made an effort to assume the best of people, but he was also smarter than most gave him credit for. But while he was a little suspicious, he also knew that Nott was smarter than to kill him now after such an obvious display. If she wanted him dead, she would do it in the night without waking a soul.
Nott advanced, poking him in the soft of his stomach with a crooked claw, eyes narrowed as she glared up at him.
“What are your intentions with Caleb?” she demanded. Molly blinked at her for a moment before repressing a snort. Nott bared her teeth back at him.
Even when her friends don't know about her biological son, Nott can't help being a parent.
(Nott gives Molly and Essek a shovel talk *long* before they get around to dating Caleb) -

Summary
Hal has absolutely no problems with people knowing he’s dating Bruce, but if he could live out the rest of his days without anyone finding out what happened on Anaxia, then he’d consider it a life well lived. Unfortunately, the universe has a sense of humour, and now it looks like certain…events are coming to light.
Funny how things work out.

Summary
If she squints, Lux can see a hint of red appear on Jinx’ cheeks. And oh if that doesn’t give her an idea that might result in Jinx actually doing some work. “Wait a minute. Jinx, are you blushing? From a little praise? That’s adorable.” It comes as a relieve when Jinx’ blush deepens, her plan doesn’t actually work if that didn’t affect Jinx.
“I am not blushing.” Jinx says, though the red on her cheeks says otherwise.
“You know what? If you’re really good for me today, I might even praise you again. Doesn’t that sound nice?” Lux knows she has only doubled down a few moments ago, but she’s tripling down now, and if this doesn’t work, she can forget Jinx doing anything at all for this project. “And all you have to is be good for the next hour or so, that shouldn’t be too difficult for you right?” Lux desperately needs this to work. Jinx actually participating will cut her workload in half, and if Lux has to stoop to borderline flirting, then so be it.
or:
Lux discovers Jinx' praise kink, and reluctantly
nottakes advantage of it, so Jinx actually does something for their project.
