The League of Extraordinary Jen-tlemen

by Rocketbride

Jen doesn’t need to be rescued from Todd and the Intellgencia. She’s perfectly capable of doing it herself. But it never hurts to have some friends along for the ride. Her stakes are simple: she wants to be She-Hulk, superhero and Jen Walters, super lawyer. She wants people to understand that they are both her, and that whatever makes one of them great can’t be divided from the other part. And being your whole self is much easier when you have a crew of lawyers, best friends, vigilantes and mutants watching your back.

Invisible

by VampireVengence

Harry felt like he was invisible. He hadn’t expected much from them, knew full well the upper classes wouldn’t treat him well given his lowly status, but he’d at least thought he’d be spoken to, perhaps even sneered at. It wasn’t like he was expecting a thank you or anything, just a nod or a look, something that confirmed he was in fact there. On the worst night of his life, Harry discovers what it is to be seen.
