Summary
“But I’m a person, not a snake. How come we can talk?”
“Snakes consider themselves people, Harrypotter, just as humans, scruffy or not, do, and you will do well to remember as such.” the snake rebuked.
Harry curled inwards on himself a little. It seemed the awful manners Aunt Petunia was always berating him for stretched to conversations with snakes too. “Oh. Sorry. I… I guess that makes sense.”
“Apology accepted.” The snake’s hissing tone seemed to soften. “Even rude, scruffy humans must ask questions, I suppose.”
Harry frowned. There wouldn’t be many other snakes to talk to, would there? “How long have you been here?”
“I am uncertain. I believe it to be several moons. I have escaped my previous prisons with relative ease, but have yet to find a way out of this boring box.”
Harry felt a pang of sympathy - he knew what it was like to be trapped.
“Regardless, you are not a snake, for no snake would have such a weak jaw.” the Boomslang hissed, seemingly amused. “You, Harrypotter, are a Parselmouth.”Or: Harry befriends a snake before Hogwarts, and then The Plot Starts

Studying his profile as she pours, the name clicks in her head like she knew it would. Even downturned, that face is unmistakable, and the realization thunders lightly in her mind.

Summary
“A man’s gotta fight temptation / Keep the wolves from the door.”
Clark Kent has been keeping the wolves from the door for thirty-four years.
He is very good at it. He has built a door out of press badges and notebooks and the plain declarative sentences of his instrument, and he holds it shut every day with both hands: against the corrupt senators and the rigged votes and the systems that look where they are pointed and the specific, ongoing, daily temptation to simply fix things. To simply be what he is. To make people do the right thing, because he can.
Then Bruce Wayne says hold, and Clark holds, and Lucas Clemens goes to Rikers Island for a crime he did not commit, and the wolves scratch at the door.
They scratch every night.
Clark counts the beats.
Wolves from the Door is a five-chapter character study about power, restraint, and what it costs to be Clark Kent. Featuring: a wrongful conviction, one man’s deeply inconvenient conscience, the specific warmth of Bruce Wayne’s thirty-eight beats per minute, and the question Clark has been asking himself for thirty-four years—

“I can’t get it off me,” Clark whispered, turning his hand over so the blood embedded into his skin caught the fluorescent lights of the Cave, “Please, Bruce.”

Summary
Some lizards can shed their tails when threatened by a predator. Until now, Bruce had no credible reason to believe that Clark could do the same.

Summary
The CIA tries to kill Clark Kent, not because they know he's Superman, but because he's a really good journalist. They keep making it look like an accident, but every plan fails. It's a comedy as the CIA can't figure out why their attempts always go wrong.
