Good Omens:

The Demon Piper: Crowley is in Hamlin, Germany in 1284 and offers to help the children of the town. They take him up on it and the legend of the Pied Piper is born.

AO3, 24k words, rated T

(The title was originally supposed to be the Pied Demon and I still tend to think of it that way, but the adjective "pied" fell out of use and no one knows what it means anymore.)

An Evening In: Human AU. Aziraphale has a bad day and Crowley promises to make it better. PWP

AO3, 18k words, rated E

DP x DC Fics:

Bring Me Home: Tim and Danny are both neglected by parents who care more about their work than their families. They deal with this by spending too much time online and find each other playing MMORPGs. They keep up their friendship as Tim becomes Robin and Danny becomes Phantom and when Danny's parents take his reveal poorly, Tim helps get him safe.

Rewrite - Chapter 1: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

Ghost!Robin Haunts Jason AU: Jazz is dating Jason, so she and Danny are invited to dinner at Wayne Manor to meet the family. Danny arrives and meets Jason for the first time only to be distracted by the ghost of the dead Robin that is hanging off of him. T rating

Original Prompt (and collab fill)

Wrong Number AU: Danny is on the run and Jazz texts the number for the phone Sam snuck him before he left. Only, her messages aren't received by Danny but rather one Jason Todd. Who didn't get them for months. He roped Tim into helping Jazz find out what happened to her brother.

I'll Carry Your Heart with Me (Until I Find You Again): Danny and Jason meet in the zone after Jason's death. They become friends (and more). But Jason doesn't think it's enough. He finds Desiree and wishes for his life back. But for every wish, she exacts a price.

Died That Way: Danny joins the Justice League and it's great. He just wishes so many other heroes didn't use electricity so much.

(Honestly, this might be my favorite dp x dc prompt fill I've done.)

School Nurse!Danny: Danny gets a job as the nurse at Tim's school. He recognizes the type of injuries Tim comes in with almost immediately but doesn't say anything, happy to patch him up in the office or let him take a nap when needed. Until Red Robin decides to go out in costume the day after Tim was in his office with a broken arm. Looks like he has to call a parent-nurse meeting.

Constantine Bingo: Danny is being introduced to the Wayne's as Jason's boyfriend. During dinner, he gets notice that he won that round of Constantine Bingo.

Tumblr prompt fill, 873 words, G rating

Stalker Danny: Jason is being stalked and threatened by some sort of pit demon. Danny hopes the new halfa he just came across will accept his courting gifts.

Tumblr prompt fill, 764 words

Justice League Mechanic!Danny: When Danny applied for his position as civilian engineer with the JL, he filled out the demographic information stating he was a half ghost. Apparently, a number of the heroes didn't get the message and are freaked out when his heart stops beating or he puts a pause on the whole breathing thing.

this was absolutely a life changing and spiritual experience for me

So Google failed me in providing a handcuffed sub, I could only find pictures of handcuffed burgers for some unknown reason. This was of course a travesty of missed pun-opportunity, so I had to rectify it.

Also this can be reposted to other sites, I don’t care, it’s just a joke, didn’t put a signature on it for a reason.

So obviously furries exist but the Tories and the British media trying to whip up a culture war frenzy about “Kids in schools identifying as cats” runs into one major problem…

Kids fucking love to wind adults up, especially those in positions of perceived authority.

Imagine sitting in class, knowing if you say something funny that it could end up on national news because your head teacher is a frothing culture war bigot.

Imagine all the other kids going along with it and backing them up.

There have been several articles about this. The Daily Mail is panicking about a 'furry outbreak' because some kids wear cat ears

Yeah, it’s also a story that’s entirely imported from Canada and the US where there’s been articles about kids requesting to use cat litter boxes instead of normal toilets.

All complete nonsense but idiot bigots love getting themselves all worked up about imaginary things.

Since cat litter is part of the emergency kit kept in classrooms in case of a school shooting lockdown (for some US schools), I wouldn't be surprised if that request originated as some gallows humor by a traumatized student.

Because identifying as a cat is weird, but preparing to be stuck in your classroom while a shooter patrols the halls that you need a litter-based toilet is 100% normal.

It doesn’t look that exciting, but this linen is from the New Kingdom (ca. 1492–1473 B.C.)

Thinking about it for too long makes me feel absolutely insane.

The description on The Met includes the line ‘The cloth was repaired and laundered in ancient times’ and that also makes me feel light-headed.

It’s so beautiful and so simple and so so old

"We're thankful that the Biden administration played the long game on sick days and stuck with us for months after Congress imposed our updated national agreement. Without making a big show of it, Joe Biden and members of his administration in the Transportation and Labor departments have been working continuously to get guaranteed paid sick days for all railroad workers."

Yeah, I AM gonna point this out, and be blunt and annoying about it: remember how the Online Leftists have spent MONTHS screaming about Biden Selling Out The Working Class and heaping vitriol on him for proposing the compromise agreement to Congress that stopped the rail strike, but didn't include sick days, and this was the Biggest Betrayal Ever To Betrayal? And showed that he was terrible and a corporate sellout and anti-labor and whatever else?

Well, guess what: now the rail workers have paid sick days! Biden and the Department of Labor/Transportation worked nonstop to get it done, didn't brag about it or blather on endlessly, and then got it done! Because it turns out that it was better to take the partial agreement, keep things moving, and continue to work in good faith and make progress, thus resulting in what they wanted without just blowing everything up and calling that a good plan! Shocking!

Like, does this mean they’re perfect? No. And you can still even yell and criticize.

But it is actually important to realize that in the actual world we’re stuck with, the first dramatic thing isn’t where shit ends, that the fight KEEPS GOING sometimes in back channel ways, that diplomacy and power are complex, and that there are many ways to deploy them. You have to make choices as best you can based on knowledge and experience about what to do about those complexities, and sometimes that means tactical retreats so you can push through later.

(How do you tell a tactical retreat from just a retreat that someone’s trying to con you into thinking is tactical? Critical thinking and experience combined with as much knowledge of the situation as possible. This is why high level leadership is hard and very few people actually want to do it.)
