    Summary

    Aphrodite had foreseen Paris' triumph – her triumph, in truth. The moment his eyes would fall upon Helen of Sparta, he would understand: this was the reward for his devotion, this was the woman the gods themselves had deemed worthy of a prince so favoured.

    She had not foreseen his rejection.

    Had not expected him to turn away from the prize she had laid before him, to spurn the very woman he had once coveted with all his heart.

    Nor had she anticipated that his desire would stray – not to another queen, most certainly not to Helen’s own cousin.

     

    Penelope of Sparta.

     

    (Or, after coming across a portrait of Penelope during his time in Sparta, Paris of Troy switches his kidnapping victim from Helen to Penelope. This proves far more detrimental than anyone could have imagined - a spark burning so bright that even the Gods on Olympus are caught in its flames.)

    Summary

    The ship came to their shores in the third year after the war ended.

    One ship, just one, and Penelope stood on the clifftop near her husband’s palace and looked down upon the harbor below, and clenched her fist in her himation until it was wrapped around her so tight that it was imprinting its weave pattern onto her skin. Just one ship, and the men she could see disembarking were too few to be fifty, and none turned to hare instantly up the hill towards her.

    Penelope turned away to head into the palace, to wait for the bad news to find her.

    (odysseus chooses to sacrifice himself, and penelope chooses not to let him go)

    Summary

    A change in the mechanics of [OFA] and a change in the Joint Training team composition lead to an interesting discovery. A better relationship between members of 1-A and 1-B starts with Monoma copying [OFA], a bite from Tokage to stop [Black Whip]'s rampage, and Midoriya finding out that [Fa Jin] and [OFA] are a dangerous combination for the bearer.

    Setsuna Tokage, Neito Monoma and their quirks get the recognition they deserve, 1-B's history at UA gets explored, and Midoriya analyzes quirks.

    But all three will find that their quirks don't leave the Joint Training the same as they entered.

    Also, a bunny.

    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya wants nothing more in this world than to be a hero. His mother, a former pro hero herself, decides to put her disillusionment with heroics aside to help him achieve his dream. Absolutely no one could have imagined that he’d develop a quirk that may potentially make him more powerful than All Might himself.

    Summary

    It was a well-known fact that the Traveler gets into trouble wherever he goes. So when the time came for him to go to Fontaine, it was natural for him to get arrested and put on trial. But that was sometime back and those crimes were pretty minor in the long run.

    However, as news spread across the lands that he has been once again arrested for much more serious matters, the various nations he has visited send their best (or most available) representatives to help him. But should something go awry, they'd have little choice but to help him break him out.

    ...Who are we kidding? Operation Prison Break was the main plan from the very beginning.

    Summary

    Kurusu Akira didn't mean to get caught up in all this, he swears, with crossed fingers.

    When Akira's aunt, Yamano Mayumi, came to visit, he didn't think much of it. Sure, he knew the rumors were true, but his aunt was a good person. At least, to him, anyways.

    It's when Akira opens the door on April 12th, seeing two detectives there, holding his aunt's red scarf that the trouble starts.

    Summary

    Ren Amamiya has completed his Fool’s journey and has saved humanity from not just one, but two false gods who sought to control them. Now, it is time for him to return to Inaba, the town he once called home before he became tangled up in Shido’s and Yaldabaoth’s games.

    Fortunately, although he might be leaving his close friends behind, he won’t be alone. Ren grew up surrounded by a group of older friends who treat him like a younger brother in all but blood. Yu Narukami and his closest companions believed in him and stood by him when he had been arrested, seeing the truth when everyone else was deceived by Shido's lies. The Investigation Team is about to reunite with their fluffy-haired friend, but they will soon realize that the young man who is returning from Tokyo has changed greatly from the boy who was forced to leave Inaba in disgrace in a way hauntingly familiar to their own personal transformations.

    And with the TV world distorted by the influences of two false gods only recently defeated, the truth might come out sooner than everyone thinks…

    Inspired by several fics, including “Phantom Dumbasses” by Cipherian, “Forgotten Arcana” by nickdaman6, “Take 2” by RoyalGambit, amongst others.

    Summary

    The main point of the entirety of this story and the reason that Tim is slowly dying in a pharmacy is that Tim lost his utility belt in the water. While a practical idea at the time, what with the extended period of attempting to keep his head above water, it ultimately resulted in Tim losing his extra strength antibiotics that Leslie had specially tailored to Tim. Therefore, Tim went a day without a dose, a day in which he was dumped into the ocean in the middle of January.

    His immune system is thoroughly displeased with him at the moment.

    OR: Tim Drake’s… decent into villainy? maybe?? kind of???

    Summary

    “I’ve lost all of you at some point, Tim. All except you.” Bruce pauses, seeking and struggling to find the right words. “Out of all of us, if you were to step away, I think you’d be able to stay away. To be normal."

    It’s okay if you leave before you’re taken away.

    “I’ll never be normal, Bruce,” Tim replies thoughtfully. “It’s not in the cards. But I think…I think when I’m well enough, I need a change of scenery. A more permanent one.”

    “Mr. Drake, I can’t think of a better way to say this, so I’ll just be blunt. This file is for your first adoption. By the Drakes.” 

    Tim blinked. “My what?” 

    “You were adopted as a newborn by Jack and Janet Drake.”

    Summary

    Tim doesn’t believe in heroes any more. He has no reason to. That fantasy is beyond him now.

    Jason Peter Wayne-Todd is dead. Robin, the Boy Wonder, Batman's young partner… Tim’s idol… and his friend… has died. Tim had just gotten used to the idea of having a friend… and now that friend is dead. It's a fact at this point. A statistic.

    Robin is Dead.
    But Batman NEEDS a Robin. And since Jason died for the Crusade, since Jason LIVED for it... Tim's gonna protect that legacy no matter what. Tim's world might be ending, but he's going to ensure that Gotham stays standing in the aftermath.

    ***

    A stand alone Tim Drake becoming Robin story that follows his struggle to become an adequate replacement for the hero that he idolized - one that doesn't make him an athletic prodigy, or magic him into being awesome. This is a story that takes the grit and determination (and mild psychosis and penchant for obsessiveness) that naturally makes him awesome and shows how he applies that to becoming worthy of the Robin mantle.

    It fits into the AU of this series (where Tim and Jason met while Jason was Robin), but it can easily be read without the others.

    Summary

    Timothy Jackson Drake has been walking on eggshells his entire life, whether it be from his parents astronomical expectations, Gotham's horrible villains, and even the voices inside his own head. He thought that maybe now he was finally starting to feel comfortable in his own skin, with his bond with Bruce, Dick, and Alfred stronger than ever and his new budding relationship with Kon quickly becoming the best thing to ever happen in his life. Everything seemed... perfect.

    But then Kon died, and even with as short of a time as that was, it still brought Tim down nearly to the point of no return.

    Then Steph died.

    Then his dad was murdered.

    Then Bruce was killed.

    Then, to make it all worse, Dick took Robin away from him and gave it to Damian.

    Now... Timothy Jackson Drake doesn't know who he is, stripped of everything that once gave him purpose.

    It's time to see what he's become.

     

    AKA, a dark what if based on Dick's decision to make Damian Robin after Bruce died.
