    Summary

    “You sound like a mortal.” She said, with the faint glimmer of amusement in her eyes. Zagreus chortled too, but then fell silent. Nyx gave him a knowing look. “What is it, my child?”

    “You said the curse is tied into my godhood, right? What if…” The words tasted unnatural in his mouth, a blasphemy before they could even take shape in the air. Zagreus coughed them out regardless. “What if I could shed my divinity? What if I became a mortal?”

    --
    Or, despite being a god, Zagreus keeps running out of time. A "Zagreus Becomes Mortal" AU.

    Summary

    Dabi is touching Hawks.

     

    Dabi has his hand on my mentor.

     

    Hawks is in danger.

     

    Despite the fear that threatened to paralyze him, and the pain from his injuries, Tokoyami took a step forward. “Get away from my mentor, villain.”

    ---
    When Hawks is almost killed protecting Tokoyami from a villain, Tokoyami wants nothing more than to sit by his mentor's bedside. However, things aren't what they seem and Tokoyami hears things about the incident that aren't what actually happened. But then Dabi appears one night, acting in a way that implies he's close to Hawks and insisting that someone on the hero's side tried to kill him; not the villain that attacked Hawks and Tokoyami.

    Tokoyami isn't sure whether he believes Dabi or not; after all, the man is one of Japan's worst villains, despite not acting like it. But what he does know, is that someone tried to kill his mentor and cover it up, and that wasn't something Tokoyami was willing to leave be. And if that means working with Dabi to uncover the truth, then so be it.

    Summary

    It was a strange day.

    All the days, recently had been strange.There had been rather more of them than Crowley would have liked (four hundred and thirty two - not that he’d counted).

    Ever since… well, ever since, he had been pretty sure that this moment - this… whatever this was - would never come.

    “Take me home, Crowley.”

    --

    Set over a year after season 2, Crowley and Aziraphale try to navigate through What Has Happened.

    Summary

    The AU where Bobby adopted Evan when he was six years old, and then twenty years later Eddie joins the 118 and starts dating Buck... and no one initially realises that Evan and Buck are, in fact, the same person. Part 1 is the story of the identity shenanigans and the reveal.

    Part 3 is a collection of missing scenes from the original story, while Parts 4 ('how it could have gone') and 5 ('another way it could have gone') are outtakes and depict two different scenarios where the reveal of Buck and Evan being the same person go a different way.

    Part 2 'oh captain my captain' is a prequel and shows the 118 meeting Bobby and then later on Evan.

    Part 6 'these are the days we've been waiting for' is the story of Buck's first day at the 118.

    Part 7 'may you live in interesting times' is a sequel to that takes place about a year or so later, and Part 8 'I once was lost (but now I'm found)' directly follows on and is a full-length sequel and prequel to the main story.

    This series as it is now is standalone and can be considered complete. The only reason I haven't marked it as such is because I do expect to be adding additional installments at some point in the future. Happy reading!

    Summary

    After Thomas' suicide attempt, we didn't get to see much of what he did, or what happened, that helped him to eventually feel better. It's unlikely he got any professional therapy, but it seems to me that something had to happen that helped him to change. This is my take on what happened--the work he did with himself, and the interactions he had with the people who care about him--that helped him to eventually decide to go on living, and in particular in this story, how he got back to work.

    I'll add more character and relationship tags as I go.

    Summary

    Theseus was six when Newt was born, healthy and loud as any baby. He heard the mentions of the family curse, but thought nothing of it. He was eight when Newt changed. His baby brother went from speaking to silent, gazing out at the world in fear, cringing from lights and noise. His mother cried and his father had explained: The Weasleys had their hair, the Gaunts had their madness and the Scamanders had their changelings. Not every generation, but peppered through their line were those who weren't quite human. Some never spoke, others would talk at length about one thing but refuse the rest of the world. Some would only eat one meal. No one knew how this new Newt would behave, what he would become. Theseus didn't care. Newt was still his brother.
