👻🎃Happy Halloween!🎃👻

Here’s five SPOOOOOKY fics for your Halloween pleasure!

Trade in All Our Silver Bullets by hopeless_eccentric. T. 18k. Complete.

The only thing between Juno Steel’s head and the growling, pacing storm above was the dingy roof of an even dingier tavern. It had taken him nearly half an hour just to adjust his eyes, for the dreary corner in which he sat was lit only by a dying candle stub, holding on for dear life against the wind from the leaky windows.

If Juno had his choice, he would have been anywhere else. However, the hooded figure in the corner had caught his eye and snared his curiosity.

Juno’s a vampire hunter. Nureyev’s a vampire. What more could you ask for?

Haunting, but not haunted by Ernmark. E. 12k. Complete.

Nureyev rents an apartment while he's casing his next target; little does he know that the apartment is haunted by the ghost of a long dead detective.

Juno’s haunting his old apartment, and he makes himself a nuisance for Nureyev. It’s very, very good.

Peter Nureyev and the Guardian Angels by ser_atlantisite. G. 5k. Complete.

“So, this is it,” Peter whispered. “The Court of the Angels.”

Where Brahma’s Guardian Angels received visions of the future, visions of murderers and victims and the bloody acts themselves, and deigned to send out their emissaries to apprehend the guilty before they ever were. To save humanity from themselves. For the good of all, the government insisted.

Funny, how often the angels predicted crimes to be committed by those who drew the government’s ire.

Whatever the truth of the program was, it ended today.

In which the Guardian Angels are a bit more, um, alive than in canon.

when the wolfsbane blooms by goinghost. T. 2.9k. Complete.

The first time Buddy saw Vespa transform, it wasn’t by choice.

She knew that she needed to tell her. Not only were they partners-in-crime, but they were also partners. You could only keep the fact that you turned into a hulking furry monster every 50 days (the standard length of the Rangian moon cycle) from the person you were living with for 50 days or so. Then the hulking furry monster was out of the bag.

--

Vespa is a werewolf. Buddy can't say she expected that.

Really cute werewolf fic, published just in time for Halloween!

jokes about my condition by MissjuliaMiriam. M. 1.8k. Complete.

Juno wakes up face-down in an alley and knows right away that this time isn't like every other time. Something is wrong. Something is very, very wrong.

Vampire!Juno fic!!! Hell yeah!!!

you’re just like mars (you shine in the sky) by citadelofswords

If you had asked the Juno Steel of five years ago what his future had in store for him, he would not have said the mob. The Kanagawa wedding was a distant memory then; Croesus had beaten the shit out of him for only saving half of Cecil and the only friend he had left in that family was Cassandra, who he barely spoke to. Juno was as happy as he could be, he was engaged, and he was working his way through the ranks of the HCPD, all the way to DI.

The way it fell apart was so quick, so like dominoes falling, that Juno felt he had a right to think that it all had been scripted in order to put him in the right state of mind when Min came knocking on his door to tell him Croesus was dead.

or, juno steel's ten step guide to tricking your demons into turning away and then stabbing them in the back, or, "how i learned to stop worrying and run for the hills"

WHAT IS UP MY DUDES GUESS WHO FINISHED AND POSTED THE ENTIRETY OF THE KANAGAWA AU FOR THE @penumbrabang. THAT’S RIGHT IT’S ME I DID IT. shoutout to @weirdpine for the AMAZING art (which is sort of a spoiler for the fic but also: it’s me, it’s juno, of course there’s gonna be a fucking kiss scene) 

the link above will bring you to the full fic with no chapter divisions but if you want to read chapter by chapter you can start here OR if you want to read from chapter 3 (which i did not make a separate tumblr post for LMAO) you can click here!

image descriptions follow:

[image descrption: A digital painting of a scene from above. Juno Steel is a black man with short black hair and a long black diamond studded dress, leaning on the edge of a balcony, high above a large, colorful and indistinct crowd. He is looking to his right, where an east asian man with black hair, Valentine, wearing a white suit, is caught off guard. There are advertisments on the balconies below them, the trail end of one, "@700MST" and "Tune in to Kanagawa Prductions Livestream". In the crowd there is a small figure with black hair, wearing a large pink dress, Rita. end image descrption] 

[image description: A digital drawing of Juno Steel and Peter Nureyev, about to kiss in front of a window filled with stars. Both of them have their eyes closed, and Juno has one hand on the back of Peter's neck and the other on Peter's back. Juno is wearing a teal collared shirt and Peter is wearing a high collared violet vest, and lilac shirt, and several silver earrings. There is a pink glow, coming from the bottom of the image, and faded stars in their hair. end image description]

A mini fic inspired by @interstellarvagabond wondering if Peter had been awake when Juno left. 

_______________

Peter was used to waking up to sounds. Usually people come to kill him. In his line of work, it paid to be a light sleeper, prepared for anything. So when he woke up to someone standing near Juno’s side of the bed, it took every ounce of self control he had to not panic.

He kept his eyes closed, listening, and sighing deeply when he felt Juno’s familiar lips on his forehead. He wasn’t sure why Juno was up, or what time it was, but he let the tension release from his shoulders then. No one had come to kill them, they were safe in their hotel, and Peter could go back to sleep. 

But he didn’t, not yet, because Juno wasn’t next to him and that made the bed cold. He thought he could wait for him to come back, but then he heard it. The sound of clothes crinkling, of a belt and a zipper. Juno was getting dressed, that much was obvious. As for why, it wasn’t so clear. For a split second, just a moment, Peter allowed himself to be hopeful. Perhaps it was daylight and he wanted to be clothed. Or maybe he even felt awkward after last night. The latter thought was a bit more upsetting but it would be fine, he’d get more comfortable learning to sleep with another. 

That hope died however when he felt careful fingers tuck his hair back, when he heard a long deep sigh. Hearing the footsteps followed by the hotel door clicking shut confirmed what Peter suspected. He felt an ache grow in his chest and hated it. He’d survived worse then heartbreak, and perhaps he was jumping to conclusions. 

He sat up in bed, leaning against the headboard, looking at the door. His emotional and logical mind battled as he watched the sun rise over Hyperion City. 

He wanted to be mad at himself, to be mad at Juno, for not stopping him and letting him leave. He couldn’t bring himself to feel anything though. Wasn’t this to be expected? Private eyes, criminals, they worked best alone. Juno Steel clearly thought so… Juno Steel clearly did not need nor want Peter Nureyev. As he got dressed and gathered his things to leave, he couldn’t help but wonder if Juno was safe. After all he had a tendency to get himself into trouble. Heartbroken or no, he wanted his Juno safe. 

He glanced back at the hotel room. Thinking back to his night prior, and how lovely it had been. He sighed deeply. “Goodbye, Juno Steel…” He said to the empty room. Then he was gone.

Hey! I love this blog and everything y'all do for it 🖤 I wanted to see the top 100 junoverse fic rec post but the link in the post doesn't seem to be working (at least on mobile). Also, I was wondering if you had any recs for lighthearted or fluffy fics. thanks sm

Hi! From what I can tell, the issue with opening links in posts seems to be an android issue. (If you don’t have an android, please send another ask or a dm-I tested the link on my iPhone and had a friend test it on an android, but that’s a pretty small data set!) I can’t find any solutions to this issue online, so if anyone knows a way for me to link to posts in the android app, please let me know. In the meantime, you may just have to open the library on a browser.

The link to the top 100 fic rec post is here (or, to copy-paste into a browser, https://penumbraficlibrary.tumblr.com/magtop100)

As for fluffy fics:

Last Lady Standing by @hopeless-eccentric. T. 1.8k. Complete.

The crew of the Carte Blanche was about halfway through the third installment of the Super Loan Sharks: Loan Sharks That Wear Little Suits And It’s Super series when the pile of blankets that somewhere, somehow, contained Rita slumped over and onto Juno’s leg, thoroughly trapping it.

Juno assumed the same rule that applied to dogs, cats, and non-venomous rabbits applied to former secretaries as well, and got ready to be stuck for the rest of the evening.

My new go-to comfort fic with some LOVELY Juno&Vespa interaction.

deep into the mountain sound by @gerrystamour. T. 1.8k. Complete.

“What do you mean I can’t dance?”

Peter sounded legitimately offended, and Juno rolled his eye.

“That’s not what I said, Ransom,” he said flatly, finishing off his sandwich and putting the plate in the sink. “I said I could teach you some actual steps.” - In which Juno and Nureyev dance in the kitchen in the wee hours of the night.

Really cute and fluffy and lovely Jupeter fic, with a little bittersweet Benzaiten flavor.

All In a Day's Work by @this-is-a-podcast-fanblog. G. 2.1k. Complete.

"There is no such thing as 'bring your wife to work' day," Caroline huffed.

"Sweets, any day is bring your wife to work day if I say it is."

Quanyii bothers Caroline at work and it’s absolutely delightful.

Enjoy! - Mod Mag

Hi! We interrupt our week of Second Citadel recommendations to recommend a really great new Junoverse fic. It deals with the most recent episode, so spoiler warning for 3.14: Juno Steel and the Ultra Megabots of Cyberjustice part 2! As always, if you’d like to send in a recommendation or request one, you can send an ask here.

Détente by  arboreal_overlords. T. 4k. Complete.

It was a marker of exactly how bad Juno looked that, when Vespa arrived, she offered him a cookie and didn’t say anything resembling ‘I told you so.’

“Jet made them,” she said instead. “Figured if they’re no good, we could use them as projectiles.”

“What,” Juno said.

Hope you enjoy, and we’ll see you again tomorrow with our final Second Citadel rec for the week!
