    Summary

    Klaus, Sunny, and Violet Baudelaire were very intelligent children who often found themselves at the centre of unfortunate events - most being at the hands of a rather cruel man by the name of Count Olaf.

    After passing from guardian to guardian, the three orphans find themselves shipped to live with Bruce Wayne, a distant cousin of their mother’s, far off in the city of Gotham. Worried for lost friends and desperate for their own safety, the Baudelaires find themselves at the centre of a tale regarding secret identities, even more secret organisations, and the prospect of belonging. The same tale is one that hopes to answer three key questions;

    Who is the Batman?
    What is VPD?
    And most importantly: Is the shadow of a Bat enough to protect from and overcast that of a cruel man with a mind for nothing but greed?

    ㊋㊋㊋㊋

    After the awful events at Lucky Smells Lumbermill, Mr. Poe, an extremely unhelpful banker, takes the Baudelaire siblings to Prufrock Preparatory School, thinking putting them in an educational environment will solve their problems, also known as Count Olaf. There, they meet the Quagmire siblings, three quadruplets with a backstory suspiciously similar to their own. Together, they begin looking into the mystery that has plagued both sets of siblings since the deaths of their parents.

    But of course, nothing stays safe in the Baudelaires’ world for long, and Count Olaf, also known as their problems, isn’t far behind. Halfway between the bleak beginning to their story and the enigmatic end, Count Olaf and his troupe chase the Baudelaires to four more locations, each more far-flung than the last. But the mystery was never solved at Prufrock Prep, and it continues to chase the Baudelaires as they try to put a stop to Count Olaf’s new schemes — that are somehow even more despicable than before.

    Summary

    Five years ago, the Baudelaires died, and left V.F.D. behind forever. For five years, they managed to keep up the illusion of a normal life- but when a vaguely familiar person finds them, are forced to return to their life on the run. How long can they continue down this path before their actions finally catch up with them?

    A sequel to 'I've got a war in my mind (so I just ride)', formerly known as 'I Need To Forget, So Take Me To The Hinterlands'. This fic is roughly ¾ of the way written, and will be updated regularly.

    Summary

    The mission was over. They’d failed spectacularly, and now all that was left for them to do was call for backup, and get the hell out of there. It was later. But he didn’t—Lemony swallowed shakily, ran a hand through his hair—he didn’t want to get scared, to feel the full weight of what had happened tonight. Not yet. Not ever.

    Two young Volunteers debrief after an eventful mission. Lemony picks up a new habit.

    Summary

    “Why are you here?” He snaps, leaning heavily on his doorframe. There are a hundred answers to his question, each less admissible than the last.

    Because Jacques told me it was necessary. Because someone told Jacques to tell me it was necessary. Because I’m the only person besides B who might turn you human. Because I’m the only person besides B who still thinks you’re human. Because you’re brilliant and mad and still so goddamn useful. Because tattoos stay permanent no matter how many fires you start. Because I think you start fires just because you know I’ll be the one to put them out. Because you’re laughably easy to lie to. Because I didn’t kill your father but I might as well have. Because you didn’t kill my brother but given half a chance you would have. Because you loved me for five years and still only hate me a little.

    Because I want to be. God help me, I’m here because I want to be.

    “We should talk,” is all she says, stepping past him through the door.

    [It’s a year before the Baudelaire fire. Kit has always been a very useful volunteer.]

    Summary

    The Baudelaire children were very unfortunate indeed. You may think that, given there were twelve of them, they would figure out solutions to their problems rather quickly. However, it so happened that when the siblings put their heads together it usually resulted in various items of furniture being hurled, mediocre cooking, attempted murder (only occasionally directed at each other), and many *many* pranks.

    Or: ASOUE but there are 12 Baudelaire kids! (Netflix Baudelaires are Violet, Klaus and Sunny. Movie Baudelaires [originally created by midas_touch_of_angst] are Lilac, Nick and Solitude. Book Baudelaires are Veronica, Klyde and Susie. The Baudelaires' character foils from 'The Luckiest Kids in the World' are Laurie, Larry and Linda.)

    Summary

    Ladies and gentlemen, the door did not open to reveal a member of the Sheriff's secret police, wearing their seasonal violet overcoats and wielding ceremonial bronze sceptres. Nor indeed did I find myself faced with the ragged claws and heavy, rattled breathing of a Stewardess, on her monthly patrol of the town. What faced me was a good deal stranger.

    Before me, in a dark suit and a dark tie and a dark hat, stood what may be most accurately described as a man. And before him, in an assortment of dark clothing, none of which included a suit or a tie or a hat, stood three children.

    Summary

    "Three shards of pottery, and a deep, thick shroud, are required on occasions such as these. To conceal the eyes, the mouth, the mirror." ⸻

    The brightest generation of the V.F.D. were born under decaying stars; the previous generation had made this organization noble, but the secret of that nobility was lost in translation. This generation of young volunteers have always had one foot out the door, but these coming years will make them question whether the organization was ever good to begin with, whether their friends and associates could ever have been trusted, and whether the desperation not to be alone or the desperation to serve "the better good" is greater.

    It may also teach them what resides at the bottom of a not-quite ocean, and how that great unknown shaped the organization we known today.

    (A complex pre-ASOUE look into V.F.D., some headcanons about events of the time period, and a mess of unhealthy relationships I do not condone or believe should be aspired to. Work is COMPLETE and standalone.)

      Bookmark Notes:

      As he's gotten older, he's realized this is how time works. It thieves and gifts whatever it pleases and keeps moving at such a fast clip that it's impossible to realize what's happened.

      It slowly sets in place the pieces for a chess game which has no winner, and will only result in the death of a king and most his subjects.

      That library will close by the time I’m writing this. A great many secrets will go with it.

      There is so little left in this game, in playing as though he’s still friends with the people who hurt him, the people who supported him, once.

      Maybe he should befriend the point of no return, a thing that could never leave him, not with the way he always trips along the barrier of right and wrong. Wobbly, uninformed steps are all he’s ever thought to take, til now.

      He thinks, if this is death, it might just be okay.

      He feels, for the first time, soft new wood brimming against his blood vessels, new growth in his heart.

      When you think about the schism, really, it’s always been a linear kind of cycle. We find the things that destroy us and draw unfamiliar and unfounded lines between the people we love. Is that villainy, I wonder?

      Why is it his generation that makes so many mistakes, repeats old ones and finds new ones? Are they trying to stop the cycle? Or is it all just like the way a wolf goes mad when left in a small cage, it paces and paces and paces until there are circles in the concrete and dizziness clings to its brain. It’s all madness.
