Hunters lived outside society, so what was one more thing to make him different from some damn civilian? That’s what Dean used to think—before he realized how powerful being a part of the queer community could be. The only trouble is, keeping in touch with the community is easier said than done when he’s never in one place for very long, and sometimes Dean needs his community like a lifeline. That’s where the list comes in.

Most fanfic doesn't address the issue of homosexuality, especially in Gundam Wing, where authors can assume that the future is tolerant, and that the characters can enter homosexual relationships without doubts or societal-disapproval. Slash fanfic is not queer literature, generally speaking. So an entire fic that's about Duo's homosexuality and its intersection with his identity is something entirely different. In this fic, Duo is sent to counseling after the principal of the school he's staying undercover at discovers that he's gay, but counseling turns out to be different than what he expected. The story is littered with excerpts from queer poetry, a really nice choice.

His best friend keeps cockblocking him, his relationship guru is a computer, and he might be gay. The future is very complicated.

That changes when she meets Glimmer, a girl who doesn't have that luxury. Spinoff of The Avenger Games. (NOTE: the rape/non-con/dub-con/underage/forced prostitution warnings are tagged to be safe, but are NOT graphically depicted. Talked about, dealt with, yes. But not in real-time.)

Felix Brenner and the Cluster.

When the lights come back on after the Pride Tape presentation and the boys start to stir, Connor looks at Ebs, sitting on the floor in front of him, and he says, without thinking, "Is this about me?" Everyone within earshot freezes.

In which the Robins aren’t so good at keeping their sexualities a secret, not that most of them would want to anyway. Or How each of the Robins accidentally came out and made a club to commiserate together.

When Jason leaves the League, Dick Grayson is the furthest thing from his mind. He has Talia’s blessing and a step-by-step plan to make Bruce pay as well as to rid his city of the Joker. There’s no place in his thoughts for quippy acrobats, not when his every waking hour is tinted green with dreams of revenge. He doesn’t think that anything can possibly break through his single-minded focus… Then he catches footage of Nightwing fighting thugs on the streets of Blüdhaven with none of his usual grace. Fuck, but he can’t leave Dick behind to fend for himself. Not when he can’t be sure that Dick will survive long enough to still be around by the time Jason is done dealing with Bruce.
