Bookshelf for Sleepless Nights
Stories that kept me up an entire Friday and/or Saturday night reading. Some of them kept me up on Sunday night too, even though I had work the next day.
Totally worth it, though.

Summary
Alternate Title: The Snake Goes Ara Ara
By cruel trick of the fates, intervention of stupid gods, or just the apathy of an uncaring universe I find myself woken up as Orochimaru just after he had possessed a woman for his new host. Now I need to find a way to turn this hoard of sycophants and psychos into something that will not only keep me from an early grave, but also how to change it to a force of change in this messed up world.

vencuyanir [ven-COO-yah-neer]: sustain, keep alive, preserve (Mando'a)
About to be taken away from Arvala-7, Elana only has two objectives: keeping Bean alive and getting away from the Mandalorian
~
The Mandalorian's helmet then snapped around to her, and Elana flinched, still reeling from the strange display in front of her.
"You’re the caretaker?" he asked gruffly. Elana barely managed to nod, scared out of her wits.
The Mandalorian was quiet for a long time, his intimidating presence alone enough to make her hold her breath. Crouching in front of her, a long moment passed where she could almost feel his gaze scrutinising her. Then, he reached out and tugged her upwards with an unexpected gentleness from a bounty hunter.
She looked up at him, shaking in fear. The visor glared down menacingly. A low command came from beneath the helmet, causing shivers to run down her back.
"Pack your things."

Dick had learned that people never know a situation as well as they assume they did. Dick had always assumed that he wouldn’t be one of those people. He was a detective, a Bat, the first Robin.
The case file in front of him glared tauntingly. He should've known better to assume anything.
