Summary:

“I had a… friend.” Brenda looked at her for a long time. “A friend? Like a normal friend, or...?” "I don’t know. We never… I never told her…” “Oh,” she said. “Why not?” Cass closed her eyes, letting the words tumble out of her mouth. “She’s dead.” Stephanie Brown is gone. Cass moves to a new city, meets a new girl, and tries to survive a world that doesn’t make sense anymore.

The Billy Big Bang posting season starts on November 1st and Team #11 of the Billy Big Bang will be posting their collaboration through November 9th! The artwork and banner are by @cuepickle / Cuepickle and the fic is by @spaceofentropy / Zeros83! We're eager to see what they've come up with but here's a little info to whet your appetites too!

Fic Title: As You Wish

Rating:  Mature

Warnings:  No Archive Warnings Apply 

Relationships:  Billy Hargrove/Steve Harrington, Billy Hargrove & Chrissy Cunningham, Eddie & El

Characters:  Billy Hargrove, Steve Harrington, Eddie Munson, Chrissy Cunningham, Jane "Eleven" Hopper, Murray Bauman, Henry Creel, Dr. Brenner, Jason Carver, Max Mayfield

Length: 29k

Summary:  

Everybody thinks they know what happened, that time that three unsavory people kidnapped the Princess Bride in order to start a war. Everybody is wrong.

Her name was Chrissy, not Buttercup, and the Dread Pirate Roberts was not in love with her, not in the romantic way everybody thinks, anyway. And he wasn't alone, but accompanied by his second, Mr. Harrington! And the swordman wasn't Spanish, nor was there a Turkish strongman.

But it was, indeed, a story about true love, adventure, treachery, duels, and revenge. Care to know the truth?

Being a policeman isn’t easy, but some days are extremely harsh. After a bad shift, Jason Carver finds himself wandering in a night club, trying to forget about his problems, and there he meets the most beautiful man he has ever seen.  Billy Hargrove is a tattoo artist, proud of his queerness, and even if he finds the young policeman attractive, he’s not going to fall for a closeted guy, but there’s nothing wrong with having some fun under the sheets. The important thing is to keep sex and love separated. Everything changes when an armed man tries to rob Billy’s tattoo shop, Jason gets hurt and the line between sex and love becomes blurred.

Multiplying Parents by @heartofspells (23.333 words) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Relationships: Sirius Black/Remus Lupin

modern AU, muggle AU, raising Harry AU

Summary: "This isn't a date," he bites out, mostly due to confusion without any true ire. He turns to Remus, his face set into deep lines. "I don't have dinner." Remus takes a step backwards, and Sirius only then seems to realize the tone of his voice. "Shit. Sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't mean – " "No, I'm sorry," breaks in Remus, shaking his head, taking another step back, moving away from the door. "I should have known. Harry said – " "Harry," groans Sirius, his head tipping backwards over his shoulders, eyes rolling to the ceiling. Andromeda turns, hiding a snicker. She catches sight of Harry peeking through the door and passes him a delightful grin.

Or: Harry has a happy life with Sirius, but his dad is lonely. Harry decides to find him a boyfriend.

Comment: This was such a cute fic, I loved reading this wonderful raising Harry AU, and I don't think I've ever read a wolfstar fic from Harry's POV before but it was very cute and hilarious and fluffy, highly recommend!!

Mr. Stark, I Think I Broke the Internet

Mr. Stark, I Think I Broke the Internet by snakeofalltrades on Ao3 ~ 5/5 ~ 25,978 words ~ Teen and Up Audiences ~ No Archive Warnings Apply ~ Irondad

Peter’s not really good at social media. His Instagram is mostly pictures of New York and science projects. His twitter is a meme page and a shrine to the Avengers. He’s got about a hundred followers. One day, he wakes up to well over fifty-four thousand. Why? It might have to do with how Iron Man followed him on his socials.

Suddenly, there’s lots of media sources that think Peter Parker is secretly Peter Stark. And also that he's dating Spider-Man.

Whoops.

(Or, a twitter fic with a plot)

- as you can probably tell from the description, this is a social media fic and my god is it hilarious. It’s the first of an (as of today) uncompleted long series but it has the perfect amount of plot and indulgent social media/irondad fluffing around, deserving of my best of the best tag <3 - Ella <3

Title: Better than coffee (only available to registered AO3 users)

Edit: fic was deleted off of AO3, here’s a working link to where you can find it

Author: Anonymous

Rating: T

Summary: Lance can’t help but linger around a perpetually grumpy-looking employee who works at the nearby teahouse. Keith, despite all the Yelp reviews, turns out to be surprisingly kind. Lance starts coming every day—although he insists it’s only for the boba.

And to complain about the customer service, of course.

Word Count: 21,314

Excerpt: Deep brown eyes, ridiculously soft-looking black hair, plush pink mouth, cheekbones that could cut glass. If Helen of Troy were an Asian guy in a Metallica T-shirt. Yes, this had to be Keith. He understood all of the reviews instantly.

“Welcome,” Keith said in a voice so dead Lance thought he had to be putting effort into it. “What’s good here?” “Everything.” “All right-y then.” He understood the reviews even more.

My Comments: The title is right; this fic is better than any coffee. I was up late into the night, shivering at the way this author has with words. Lance's pining makes you ache. And yet there were also lines that were so delightfully funny I had to snicker into my palm so as not to wake anyone up. I know I'll be coming back to this fic time and again in the future.

Summary:

Kon stares down into his tea. Lois’s hand is warm on his shoulder. “Kal,” he says, hollow. “…Do you ever… Do you ever wish you didn’t come back?” He can feel Lois stiffen, can hear both of their heart rates increase. They exchange looks over his head, but he doesn’t care enough to look up, shame sitting heavy in his gut. “What do you mean, Kon?” Kal asks. His voice is gentle, but Kon knows him well enough to hear the fierce worry, the protective steel beneath it. After so long being held in, the words all but pour out. Kon swallows a too-hot sip of tea that doesn’t scald going down. “I was made to be like you,” he says. “You died saving the world. I was—don’t you get it? Kal, I was made to die saving the world. I was made to die. And I did. So—” His voice cracks. “So why am I back?”
