    Summary

    Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.

    Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)

    And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.

    Sort of.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    The entire League getting turned into heteromorphs is apparently, just one of many strange problems the universe seems to want to throw at them.

    Summary

    This was fear. This was paranoia, mistrust, pain - this was wanting to be bred so badly he’d let even a complete stranger do the job, this was blurring the lines between friend and foe so completely he rejected both, this was feeling too weak even to stand.

    Laslow was an omega. 

    Were they sure this wasn’t a nightmare?

    ---

    Aggression. Anger. Arousal. Aggression. Anger. Arousal. As if Selena hadn't already had problems with two out of three of those stupid A-words.

    She didn’t want to be a stinky, mean alpha. She didn’t want to be like her stupid-perfect mother either. She didn’t want to be an alpha at all.

    ---

    Even knowing Odin wasn’t from Nohr, he shouldn’t have known what he did. His senses were not dulled, not for what he was. It was to be expected that his nose would be less sensitive than an omega’s.

    He was a beta now.

    The three interlopers from Ylisse already know that Anankos did them the service of changing their appearances and names, but they have yet to discover just how deep the changes go.

    Summary

    “I do not think he wishes to speak with me,” Zhongli tells her, even though the confession hurts more than he would care to admit.

     
    “And I don’t think you know Childe as well as you think you do.” Lumine retorts, hands on her hips, looking thoroughly unimpressed.

     
    “Yeah!” exclaims Paimon next to her, mirroring her posture.

     
    The sight of them sending matching glares in his direction is something he would normally find amusing but instead, he feels himself jerk back, shocked at both the accusation and the distinctly flat tone of Lumine’s voice.

     
    “I do,” he says, feeling slightly irked. “I do know Childe.”

     

    -

     

     
    Zhongli messes up, a bit. A lot.
