Fics that keep me up at night
This is a collection of my favourite fics, stuff with a twist on the original story, fics that add that thing you didn't know you needed, fics that might be so good they might be better than the original

Summary
"It was a good distinction to make. I wasn't Bella, but for the time being, I could be Isabella." Because time marches on and waking up as Bella Swan is unfortunate, but it's not the end of the world. Only the end of her's.

Summary
It does not surprise him at all to know that Hermione Granger has come to think herself half in love with him.
But it is not to last, and it is that night, on the night of the school's annual Hallowe'en dinner, that he knows that Hermione Granger's opinion of him is about to rapidly shift.
And how could it not?
Because at his feet, there is a dead body and she...
She has seen it.

Summary
Derek has been in a lot of bad situations. This one easily makes the top five. Or would, if Dean and Sam Winchester were actually acting like the sadistic psychopaths he expected them to be. Instead, Dean is referencing Star Trek, Sam is comforting Reid, and Derek has never been more confused.

Summary
Rodrick Heffley isn’t a student at North Shore High — but that doesn’t stop him from pretending to be one after spotting Regina George in the parking lot.
She’s hot, terrifying, and way out of his league.
He’s suspended, delusional, and armed with a fake student ID.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
“You know what they say,” Clark says, his eyes holding Lex’s mouth, “about your life flashing before your eyes right before you die?”
Clark’s thumb sinks into the inside of Lex’s lip, then skates along his bottom teeth. Fire ignites in Lex’s chest, the pain of restraining himself.
“That didn’t happen. You know what did flash before my eyes?”
Clark removes his thumb from Lex’s mouth and his other hand comes up to cup the other side of Lex’s face.
“Can you guess, Lex?”
His breath is so shallow not even a newborn could drown in it.
“I can give you a hint,” Clark says.
And then he kisses Lex.
Just a graze of his lips, the hint of his tongue, sweet as an overripe berry.
A canon divergent Smallville AU that explores what might have happened to Clark and Lex had Clark told him his secret from the beginning.
(spoiler: they still got issues)

Summary
Danny’s looking at him like he’s crazy. His hair’s dried up into a mess of waves, and there’s some tomato seeds on the corner of his mouth. “You just bailed me out of jail. And you think this is a good idea?”
“I don’t have bad ideas, Fenton. And like you’ve just said, I have collateral on you.”
“So you’re blackmailing me into pretending to date you?”
Tim shrugs. “Or you could just sign the NDA.”
OR
Danny's trying to recover all the shards to an entity's chalice so that it'll stop destroying the zone while tensions rise amongst his subjects- and trying to finish high school.
Tim's juggling his case load, his work as CEO, and does not have time to be embroiled in a sex scandal right now. If that means he has to pretend to date a very suspicious heir to a rival company, then so be it.
It's a mutually beneficial relationship. So what if Tim's becoming a little too intrigued by the illusive, powerful Phantom? So what if Danny can't stand the Justice League for leaving him to deal with all of Amity's problems when he was just 14? That's a superhero thing.
And their fake boyfriend has no clue that they're a superhero.
