Summary
The age old advice of not messing with canon to ensure the usefulness of ones knowledge is decidedly more difficult when it forces you to be cruel. Dumped in a new world, I had hoped to avoid canon events. That plan was shot to hell when I found a black haired child in a ruin. My life just got even more complicated than it already was, didn't it?

Summary
The last thing James Ironwood remembered was drowning... then awakening decades in the past. Feeling betrayed, unwilling to walk the same path that led to his and Atlas’s fall, he chose not to join the military and instead forged a new life as an independent Huntsman. Armed with the memories of betrayal, war, and the downfall of a Kingdom, Ironwood finds himself caught between two selves. Of the man hardened by scars and sacrifice, and now a young huntsman who still believes in heroes.

Summary
Salem's forces have arrived, and James Ironwood returns to his office to face the fight in front of him. He's low on allies, even shorter on time, minus the use of one arm and without the Maiden, the Lamp or the Staff, but he still has a battle to win and a city to defend. And desperation can push a man to great, or terrible, things...
(Missing scenes and a rewrite of other scenes, putting a mostly-sympathetic spotlight on Ironwood, his state of mind, his injuries, and the mess he makes in the aftermath of Vol7 and the beginning of Vol8.)Series

Summary
17-year-old Glynda doesn't want anything to do with the mysterious words tattooed on her leg the night before the Atlesian students arrive for the 28th Vytal Festival, but at least she can pin the blame on James Ironwood's smug, stupid little mouth. Semblances are weird; especially when they bind you to soulmates you've never wanted.
This is a slight Soulmate AU examining Ironwitch over the years.

You know it's only a matter of time before your illusion of safety is shattered forever. Let me show you that the time has come. Let me show you that it's time for war.
