    Summary

    “What was my name back in our old home?” 

    His dad abruptly stood up and left the room. His mother stared at her hands for a few, seemingly infinite moments.

    He had foolishly not realized the gravity of his mistake and the rare opportunity his question meant for their future.

    His mother seemed to gather her bearings after a few moments but still glanced at him like he transformed into something horrifyingly unfamiliar.

    Her lips weakly stretched into a sad mirage of a smile.

    Something about the twist of her lips looked like the porcelain pieces of her facade were cracking. 

    “Don’t worry about who you were then, Timothy. Focus on your name now. It’s the only one that’s going to be worth anything.”  


    The trials and tribulations of Timothy Jackson Drake in his new home of Gotham, featuring green nights, cultural dissonance, overbearing friends, a crazed bat creature, shadows, parental guilt, smiling clowns, and the birth of an oriole.

    Summary

    Nicodemus returns to Chicago to get rid of a book. He sees a half dead wizard fighting with a Wolfkin disease. A disease he know how to cure. He hadn't realized the wizard had half a leg in the living world and half in the spirit world. Beings like him weren't born often even amongst the Wolfkin. They were the ones who could travel easily between the realms and they were treasured and cared for. Especially given that they were all but extinct.

    The fact the wizard was all alone and sick meant he didn't have a pack or clan. Pack didn't have to be wolf it was a bond forged through time. It spoke greatly of how strong Dresden's bonds with his "friends" were. He had no stong ties to anyone or anything. That made him vulnerable. Nicodemus uses his advantage.

    Summary

    Percy doesn’t check behind him as he weaves through the aisles of the flower shop, not even when someone yells at him to stop running — no thanks! —, but he soon realizes it was a very bad idea to run inside because now he’s looking at a wall filled with flower arrangements and no way out.

    There’s sounds of running steps behind him and he grabs a vase of flowers before turning back around, ready to throw it at the crazy woman who tried to say she’s his mom, only to spot her stopping a few feet away from him with a pained gasp — there’s something shiny sliding right through the middle of her chest — and then exploding into golden dust.

    Summary

    (Still, Percy swallows, following her eyes out to the horizon. "I don't understand. I don't understand why I'm here," he tells her.

    Through a slow sigh, Athena counters, "Some things don't need to be understood. They just need to happen.”)

    Rescued from death by the hands of Athena, Percy finds himself wandering through ancient Greece without a true destination. Within time, he learns that the borders of Ithaca hold more than he could have ever imagined.

    When he and a war-torn Odysseus are pulled far away from the kingdom, thrown back into a test by the Gods, only two questions remain: will they be able to work together to get home, and what will they give to get there?

    Summary

    Tim’s still alive -through it all somehow he’s still here. Even if he barely talks to the family anymore, and he avoids the manor like the plague, and he goes MIA for weeks on end with little to no notice -he’s still plodding on.

    But when a case comes up where someone gets torn apart with no murderer, murder weapon, or motive in sight -he begins to think that maybe he should’ve taken the time to talk things through with the others before it was too late.

    At least Red Hood was also on the case, even if neither were the best when it came to teamwork. Or when it came to asking for help, for that matter.

     

    ———————————————————————

    HEED THE TAGS!! It’s gruesome and dark in places.

    This is a dragon fic with a lot of body horror! This au is in a world with no superpowers or magic, however, there is obviously a supernatural element. The bat family are the only heroes about, in this world.
