- Description:
A Dark Fantasy Batfam AU in which Jason Todd was cursed at the age of fifteen by a helmet that is slowly turning him into a wolf. He's found by a mute Cassandra Cain, who has run away from her father's manipulation. The two of them collide, healing together on a shared journey to break said curse.
- Notes:
Titles come from songs--the first is from Hozier, the second from the Oh Hellos. Expect that to be a theme.
As of right now I'm not sure who else will show up--all my notes are just Jason and Cass, but if you have suggestions let me know!

Summary
It strikes her, suddenly and surely, like lightning to a flagpole, that maybe her purpose… is not death. She came here expecting to die, but there is someone else who may be in danger, their voice rising again in the distance even as she falters. It soars in anguish, it wails in anger… she hears the howl, and—
Her hands were grown to kill. She was a tool. She has murdered, has snuffed the very life from men and children alike. But maybe… just maybe… she is here in this silent forest not to be slain…
…but to save another from a that same horrible fate.

Summary
The remains tell a story of a boy turned monster turned man, one who has been hunted for a long, long time. Perhaps the very first kill was an accident, but the rest… she cannot fault him for lashing out. The fear and pain of his curse has driven him somewhere close to madness already—there was no other way this story would go.

Summary
How long has it been since he’s heard someone speak to him, not harsh yells nor screams but right to him, gentle and with care? How long has it been since anyone spoke his name aloud, for him to hear? He must have been so bereft, to hear nothing of himself echoed from the voices of the hunters who came for him all these long years.
