Police Commissioner Robert Singer has a bit of a problem on his hands.

Together, they realize the forces of Hell, man, and a mysterious new enemy calling himself Loki are conspiring to make their lives as abnormal as possible. They’ll need to enlist the help of Tony Stark, known to the world as Iron Man, to face these dark forces in a battle for New York City.

In a world where super-villains have to compete against each other each day to gain the respect of the Evil League of Evil and the support of the Bank of Evil, Mischievous Misha struggles with both, plus a distinctive lack of new ideas for heists. He’s been in the business for quite some time, and though his minions and his best friend Jared keep him busy just fine, it’s only when Jensen moves into the house next to Misha’s that he becomes aware there’s something more to life than being evil. What he doesn’t know is that Jensen is a villain like himself, just younger and an up and coming one, and only moved here to put Misha out of the way.
Echoes and silence, patience and grace [T, 8,300 word count]
Being a superhero is awesome. Sure, the press is always in his shit and he really, actually hates that, but he’s Dean Winchester. The press hasn’t given him a break since the mid 90’s. (Supernatural as the Avengers!)
For Truth, Justice and Led Zeppelin [M, 44,500 word count]
Being a masked vigilante is difficult enough when you’ve got petty thieves, drug dealers and a day job as a photojournalist to deal with (not to mention trying to keep your little brother alive so his wife doesn’t skin you). The last thing Dean Winchester needs is for his city to become the battlefield for an apocalyptic showdown between the forces of Heaven and Hell. But, like it or not, he’s being (literally) swept off his feet by an angel and thrown into the middle of a war he’s not ready for. Featuring superheroes, leather pants, secret identities, and Dean’s weird new coworker - Jimmy - who never seems to write any articles and won’t stop staring at him.

Head for the Exits [NC-17, 25,000 word count]
Dean’s life in the Edge City PD is going swimmingly: There’s a masked vigilante prowling his rooftops and nursing a crush on him; a serial murderer who’s too damn smart for his own good; his partner is so new she still smells like Academy polish, and he can’t quite work up the nerve to ask out the coffee guy across the road.

But when Lucifer reveals to Dean the truth of his death, the three men find that things are not always as simple as they seem.
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet [T, 2,400 word count]

When Dark Angel finally makes threat reality, Dean ends up trapping them together for two months. A lot can happen in two months. Written forthis prompt on the spnkink_meme. WARNING: While I did everything in the story I could to make it clear this does not warrant the archives’ rape/noncon warning, Dean is Cas’ prisoner so consent, no matter how willingly portrayed, does have a unavoidable dubcon vibe. Since neither ‘dubcon’ nor ‘bodice ripper’ are among the site’s warnings I opted for the ‘Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings.’

In this exciting issue we cast our eyes on the mysterious metropolis of Lawrence City, and its two valiant protectors, strangers from another world striving to save the helpless citizens from the most dire threats imaginable!
