Summary
After a couple thousand years of them prying, forcing him to accept the truth under a lifetime of lies to everyone and himself, cracks began to form. Metaphorical cracks where emotions banished long ago came crawling back.
Guilt. Regret. Grief.
But when his protective shell of denial, delusions, and repression crumbled and they broke down the triangle into something more self-aware, the next step of rebuilding him back didn’t go as planned. Bill might have finally admitted and felt remorse for a lot of his actions. But nothing could motivate him to try atoning for them. He didn’t see the point in trying.
Atonement was meant to correct previous wrongdoings so they weren’t hanging over them when they reincarnated. And his vague understanding was that atonement could be achieved by either undoing the consequences of his previous actions, doing some equivalent act of good for other people, or demonstrating some other expression of those feelings of remorse that were plaguing him. Except none of them seemed relevant to his situation.
Was there anything good that he could do that would equal the destruction of his entire home dimension, let alone everything that he’d done in the trillion years since?

11 Sep 2024
Summary
Once upon a time, he ended up responsible for a pair of teenage Keyblade wielders who were technically toddlers when it came to actual life experience. If he was going to blame anyone for that, he should probably blame Saïx since he assigned him the task of keeping an eye on Roxas during his early zombie-like days. But then Roxas and Xion ended up his best friends and he would have done anything to protect them. And then he did try everything to get them back.
But even after the half-pints had existed again, it wasn't really over. They needed someone to look after them and help them out. It wasn't like they knew how to exist outside of Organization XIII. They had never been real people with real lives. And yes, they were absolutely lethal on a battlefield and could definitely beat Lea to a pulp in a fight if they were ever forced to go at full strength. But they still needed someone to take care of them.
And Lea honestly seemed to have a habit of taking in strays in general and Keyblade wielders specifically. He would have sacrifice anything to have his friends back. And now that he's regained them, he'll just need figure out what comes next. It can't be that hard to give them an actual life and a home.

Summary
Adam Young was meant to be the Anti-Christ. His entire purpose was to cause the end of the world. In many ways, he was the Chosen One, albeit for a rather dark path. But he was raised completely human and normal, without any unusual expectations of him beyond being a regular boy. He remained unaware of his heritage or destiny until the very end. And though he was chosen, he did not accept his role and rejected it and his connection to Lucifer.
Warlock Dowling was not chosen. He was born as an ordinary child, with no special skills or powers. He should have lived an average life. But he was raised with certain Expectations. Occult and ethereal entities Expected him to be the Anti-Christ. He was not chosen or fated for such a role, but reality tends to bend a little when angels and demons have Expectations.
In the end, it is just a series of choices.

Stolen Moments by Bookwormgal
Fandom: DC's Legends of Tomorrow (TV), The Flash (TV 2014)
29 Jan 2019
Summary
Maybe destiny (or the Time Masters) had plans for them, but that doesn't mean that the Legends will follow those plans. They are a team of geniuses, heroes, and criminals. They aren't the types of people to behave like puppets on strings, obeying without question. They tend to be disruptive, chaotic, and stubborn. Even breaking time itself cannot stop them from trying to save the world.
When the universe tries to take something away, they'll always steal it back. And probably ruin a lot of people's plans along the way. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Canon divergent after the ending of season 2 of "Legends of Tomorrow" and season 3 of "The Flash."

Summary
Strings can do so many different things.
They can tangle and knot. They can bind, ensnare, and trap. They can tighten and control, holding you back and dragging you forward. They can unravel and fray.
They can weave together. They can form something stronger.
And so many things can act like strings. The past. Fate. Guilt. Love. Friendship. Loyalty.

Summary
Annabelle Lennox is just another little girl, just starting school. She's clever and learns rather quickly. She hates bullies and will not tolerate them trying to be mean. She likes to draw and color in her free time. Her favorite subject of her drawings would be the black truck that is usually parked outside her house.
She never tells anyone, however, that the truck isn't ''just'' a truck. It is her best friend, Ironhide.
She eventually meets more of the Autobots and likes them just as much as the weapon specialist. But of course, the Decepticons can't remain in the background of her life forever...

Summary
After the events of "Fairy Idol," Norm's lava lamp ends up in a second-hand store and eventually gets purchased as a cheap gift for a eight year-old girl named Amanda Adams. And as far as he's concerned, the little kid was weird. After 50,000 years, he thought he knew everything he needed to know about humanity. But the child was apparently determined to prove him wrong.
And somewhere along the way, he realized she wasn't just weird. She was an exception to everything he'd ever assumed and increasingly important to him. Revenge and freedom were no longer the only things he wanted. He wanted the kid.
