Almost Human

• Highly Questionable by shrift ["Did you get a full charge last night? Because your colloquialism program is being a dick."]

Antler Guy

• It's a Neighborly Day in This Beautywood by Masu_Trout [The Old One, The Sleeping Beast, Seeker of Blood and Devourer of Souls, Haunting Abomination of the Darkened Woods, woke to find his sacred grounds were no longer there. The new ways are more than a bit confusing, but there's no reason an ancient god can't adapt with the times.]

Fantastic Four & Spider-Man (comics)

• Central Park in June by Traincat [“Break up your uncle and Spider-Man?” Bentley said, stroking his chin. “Yes, my young padawan, I think this is indeed a job for … the love master.” “Take that stupid hat off,” said Valeria.]
• Boy Falls From The Sky by Traincat [Spider-Man laughed so hard he fell off the Statue of Liberty. Johnny craned his neck to look for him, only to nearly get webbed in the face. “Watch it!” he said, scrambling back. “Sorry,” Spider-Man gasped out, swinging back up. “Kind of hard to aim through tears of mirth. Seriously? Seriously, seriously?” “Seriously, what?” Johnny said, rolling his eyes. “They want to make a musical about me,” Spider-Man said, drawing the words out very slowly like he was talking to a small child. Johnny flicked a spark at his gesturing hands. “They want this musical to star you. They want you to play me.”]

Macdonald Hall

• same song, second verse (a little bit louder and a little bit worse) by throughadoor ["You and Bruno are going to different universities. Different universities in completely different cities. And he's not having a meltdown, he's not organizing a committee, he's not trying to rally the troops. He's completely laid back about the whole situation." "You do realize that he's trying to climb down a drainpipe right now, right?" In which Bruno and Boots are forced to separate for university and everything that happens after, including blueberry pie as a major food group, one too many viewings of Camp Calamity, anniversary semantics and a happy kidnapping day.]

Spy

• Every Single Holiday by rsadelle [When it comes to gift-giving, Ford's repertoire is somewhat limited.]

The Good Place

• The Medium Place by Marks [Like Eleanor says, "I was a medium person! I should get to spend eternity in a medium place!" The one where Shaun, the Wise Eternal Judge Who Sits on High, agrees with her.]
