Summary
"My, My head hurts," he replied dumbly, "And I had a… A really terrible nightmare."
And god, did the last few years feel like a nightmare. A horrible, never-ending nightmare that twisted into shapes Jon never thought possible and took more from him than he knew he had to take.
"Must have been some nightmare," Tim hummed.
"It was," Jon laughed humorlessly.----------------
After the conclusion of the Watcher's Crown, Jon finds himself waking up in a much younger version of his own body, one that's still working with Tim and Sasha in research. Jon refuses to let this opportunity pass him by, refuses to let this world fall to the same fate as his. He'll do it better this time. He'll save everyone, no matter the cost.

“Hey, sorry; you haven’t seen a dog, have you?” Martin asked as he stuck his head into Jon’s office.
Jon’s brain immediately short-circuited. Half his mind was still in Scotland, holding and being held by the love of his life, the man he lived through the apocalypse for and the man he died at the end of it to save. The other half of his mind was very much in the present, staring at the much younger version of his beloved whom he was meeting for the first time.
“Uh…” Jon replied eloquently.
“It’s a uh,” Martin continued, “A Spaniel, I think?”
Jon opened and closed his mouth a few times, dumbstruck as Martin continued to stare at him, “I have… Seen a dog before?”
Fucking Elias, fucking piece of shit, Jonah fucking Magnus. He seethed. That bastard was so brazen with… everything! He knew exactly what he was doing! All those little comments and smiles and bullshit! Bringing up Martin as soon as he mentioned the dog, even though Jon had never even put those two in the same fucking sentence! He wanted to stab him to death so badly. Once wasn’t enough.
He worried about his mental health when he realized he knew exactly how Melanie felt back in his original timeline.
“Oh,” was all Jon could manage. Tim had… never talked about the circus to him before. About Danny. Well, in a way, he supposed that was natural. Jon was very much, as Tim had put it, ‘Mr. Skeptic’, so trying to bring up your evil skin-stealing clown trauma to someone that regularly ripped less ludacris-sounding stories to pieces…
Jon didn’t blame Tim for never mentioning it to him.
ey Georgie,” he forced the words out, “How have you been?”
“Pretty good,” she hummed over the phone, “Just recording ad-reels, playing with the Admiral, listening to my new friend Melanie bitch about the asshole Head Archivist at the Magnus Institute.”
Jon winced, “... I see.”
Georgie hummed knowingly, “So, how have you been?”
“Oh, you know me,” Jon leaned back, “Pretty decently, just, burying myself in work, avoiding my problems, being a massive prat to ghost hunters that walk into my office with a chip on their shoulder about my job.”
Georgie laughed, and Jon felt himself laughing too.

Summary
Martin stands abruptly. His chair spins away from him, wheels squeaking on the cheap lino floor. The tension between him and Jon has reached never-before-seen levels. Tim could probably cut it with a knife. Or a particularly sharp spoon.
Then, Jon lurches forward and half-clambers atop the desk and kisses Martin, and Tim drops his sandwich.
.
Or, season one Jon and Martin receive memories from the future mid-argument, and Tim and Sasha receive emotional whiplash.

“—please, by all means, explain to me how it makes sense that a hot dog—a hot dog, Martin—is a taco?”
Martin sighs and points to something on his desk. “I’ve drawn it for you. Tacos have a container on three sides and a filling. Hot dogs have a container on three sides and a filling. Therefore, hot dogs are tacos.”
Jon opens his mouth, then closes it, then opens it again. Tim looks at Sasha with one eyebrow raised, and after a few more moments of stunned silence, Sasha sighs and surreptitiously slips Tim a fiver. Honestly, she could have folded it into a paper airplane and thrown it at him; the two of them still wouldn’t have noticed.
“They are completely different foods!” Jon makes a frustrated noise, like he’s exactly two seconds away from stomping his foot like an angry toddler. “And I suppose you’re going to tell me next that Pop-Tarts are ravioli? Or that cereal is soup?”
Martin hesitates. “Well. I mean.”
“Martin Blackwood.”
“Oo, full name,” Sasha whispers. “Intense.”
“Look," Martin says, “clearly you’re a materials purist, not a form purist, which is—fine.” A pause. “Wrong, but fine—”
“Oh, don’t you—”
Tim can’t hold back a snicker when Jon snatches up a paper from Martin’s desk and folds it in half, then stuffs a pen into the crease. He holds it like it’s committed some great offense to him personally. “Well? Is this a taco?”
“Jon. Don’t be ridiculous. Of course not.”
Jon’s face lights up in triumph. “Ha! I thought you said anything with a container on three sides and a filling is a taco?”
“It has to be edible. Come on, Jon.”
“Don’t you—don’t look at me like—it is a perfectly reasonable rebuttal, and I will not be—”
“I mean, reasonable is a bit of a stretch, but I suppose if you were really reaching, you could—”
“Sasha.” Tim holds up his sub sandwich and wiggles it at her. “Hey, Sasha. My sandwich has bread on three sides. Is it a taco?”

Undoing the apocalypse would have been enough for Jon, if all his people survived. Without them, Jon's only recourse is making it so it never happened in the first place. He's going to do better this time.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Unsociable. And his standards can be exacting, but he does try to be reasonable, and he actually cares a lot about our wellbeing.”
“You’re joking,” Tim asserts. “This is the same Jon Sims we’re talking about, right? Bit scrawny? Prematurely greying? Used to put in earplugs every time Trish talked about her kid because “if he wanted to hear someone squak about their offspring, he’d go talk to the parrots at the zoo”? I’d honestly sooner believe he really did kill Gertrude.”
“I did have another thought about that,” Sasha says excitedly, less to Tim than Martin, who groans but doesn’t stop her. Every so often she’ll come up with some new motive, usually absurdly far-fetched. Sometimes Martin wishes she’d let it go, since he’s pretty sure she doesn’t actually think Jon killed anyone, but it’s usually good for a laugh. “Obviously he wouldn’t have done it because he really wanted the job. It seems like he’s sort of- withering, sometimes. But, imagine Jon as a researcher, going down to the archives to try to reference something, only to encounter Gertrude’s filing system.”
“… Oh,” Martin says dejectedly.
“Right?” Sasha says eagerly. Tim next to her is nodding in agreement.
“Yeah, that-” Martin sighs. “Yeah.”
“Maybe? I didn’t know Gertrude, but from the way people who did talk about her- the way Jon talks about her- I don’t think I’d be surprised. I do know Jon, though, and I know he’d sooner risk himself than us. So, maybe he is a murderer, but he’s also our friend.” The woman at the table next to them is outright staring at this point, and Sasha stares pointedly back, channeling Jon at his most unnerving, until the woman practically flees. “And- I’m not sure what would happen to us, without an Archivist. So, what do we do with that?”
“… Right.” In a way, it’s a relief to hear the words from someone else. Because Martin has had his doubts about Jon, but he’d also agreed to move the boxes, without demanding any explanation, just because Jon had asked. “Probably we should leave before that woman calls the police.”

Summary
What if Jon and Martin survived the Eyepocalypse and ended up living somewhere new?
It's been several months since Jon and Martin were pulled through into the new realm, and they've settled in well enough. Jon has found a position as a museum archivist, and is doing his best to not reveal himself as a monster, while dealing with the guilt of what he had to do to get there. But nothing ever goes to plan, does it?
Updates when I finish the Chapter I'm writing.

“Water pressure is a little off.” he commented, coming to lean against the wall.
“I could go pester the landlord,” Jon suggested, “Spook him into actually caring about us for once.”
“I’d rather you didn’t.” Martin said with a sigh, “I think that would make our lives worse , not better.”
“You don’t know that.” Jon said, drying their hands off, “Perhaps knowing that he is beholden to an all-knowing creature beyond his comprehension will make him more likely to give us special treatment.”
“Or more likely to burn down the building with us in it.”
“Maybe, could go either way.”
“How much do your co-workers know about you?” Martin asked, as he began to carefully massage shampoo into Jon’s hair.
“Uuuuuh,” Jon said, “They know I’m dating you, my last place of work was an archiving position, I was part of cult-”
“Sorry, you were what?!”
“That’s how I explained the Magnus Institute.” Jon said, throwing up his hands defensively, “I was never part of a cult outside of that.”
“So, aside from, gouging your own eyes out and- connecting with people in a meaningful and real way- is there anything else?” Martin asked, uncorking the bottle and pouring out a glass for him and then one for Jon.
“I suppose, you could reasonably counteract the Vast by thinking small. Realising you matter in the grand scheme of things. That you’re not insignificant. Obviously the Dark is knowing, understanding, the monster isn’t half as scary if you can see it, because then you can study it, understand it. Light, in that sense. The Web… sudden, unpredictable motion, going so drastically against anything that could be planned for that there’s no way to rearrange… I could go on.”

Summary
Viridian eyes stared at him as he peered through the dark hallway. He tried not to think about it.
“Er, hello?”
It blinked. Once, twice, before he could see the bare outline of a pale jaw open wide, and a voice of a grainy yet echoey quality, as if from an old horror film, speak.
“Oh. Hello there…” The voice was masculine, yet sounded in pain, as if strained in a way yet pretending to be fine, however almost distant in a way as if they weren’t really seeing.
Jon hoped it wasn’t too obvious that he was panicking a bit.
“Are you okay?”
He flinched when the voice suddenly turned distinctly feminine.
“Do I look okay?! Oh my god… I d–” The voice trembled in distress, before it abruptly stopped, as if one were to press the pause button of a recording.
Slowly, it dawned on him. “Are you.. Unable to talk? Only able to communicate by what other people have said?”
“Yes! I said yes Britney! Now please help me–”
Jon winced, unable to help but think of various different scenarios that would lead to so many voices feeling distressed.

Summary
The last thing Jon expected after the tether was cut was to open his eyes in October 2016. Opening Jonah rat bastard Magnus’s eyes in 2016 wasn't even on the bloody fucking menu. Oh, and it seems the real Elias is apparently still rattling around his head and a sarcastic dick about the whole situation - justifiable, being as he is still being possessed, regardless of the pilot - doesn’t mean Elias isn’t still annoying.
But hey, Jonah is double dead, so apocalypse canceled, so at least there is some good news. Now what …? Martin always was the better planner. Wait- Martin!!
***
When Martin regains his bearings (after the consensual stabbing of his near omniscient boyfriend at the end of the world) the first thing he notices is he’s now in said boyfriend's old office sitting in Jon’s chair, finger pressed to the stop button on a recorder. The second, is that this is, in fact, not Martin's body, but Jon’s.
Ok. Ok ok - Don't. Panic. If Martin's in Jon’s body, Jon must be in Martin's body. Right? Right. That would be logical. No panicking. Not even a little. He needs a plan first.
First step: find Jon. Second step: panic together. Third step: Murder Jonah Magnus.

“Is that why Jon started stalking us?” Tim asked bitterly. “He joined a stalker cult?”
“ I did not do so knowingly.” Jon protested. “All I did was do my job as the Archivist and over time … the effects of working for a malevolent metaphysical being began to manifest.”
“He’s a literal know it all now.” Jmart added. “Basically post-apocalyptic Google.”
“Not anymore .” Jon corrected. “There isn’t exactly an apocalypse of fear feeding the entities nigh on unlimited power . I can only Know most things. If I wanted to.”
Martin made a kettle impression.
“ Spooky google, then.” Jmart corrected, with a small smirk.
Jon made a face as if he had bitten into a lemon.
“Oh only! ” Tim said, pitch a tad higher than his normal tone. “Sorry guys, he’s only almost omniscient.
“A shame,” She said, unsurprised. “Those spiders were just getting comfortable in your hair, too.”
Jmarts face blanked for a full second before violently shaking out his hair to see Annabelle had not been bluffing. There were less than a dozen small jumping spiders that were knocked loose before skittering away. But that was still more than the normal number of spiders a person should have, which is zero.
Jon couldn’t help but shudder as that was technically his hair.
“Jon, Jon, tell me I got them all.” Jmart said, still shaking out his hair in mild panic.
Jon used his Knowing to find out, “You got them, all eight-” “-Eight!?” “-dendryphantinae jumping spiders.”
“Is that a fucking spider pun on dandrift!?” Jmart accused.
Annabelle gave an amused laugh from the receiver.
“Maybe I'll have better luck with baby Martin.” she mused. “Mr. Blackwood,” she addressed directly, as if she were a saleswomen trying to sell a car, “How would you like to be filled with spiders?”
“Um.” Martin said, high pitch. “No?”
“Perhaps something other than spiders. Cobwebs?”
“Stop picking on younger me.” Jmart complained, finally fixing his hair from removing the spiders.

She’s close enough he can feel the heat of her breath, radiating from whatever furnace-force burned within her. But she doesn’t touch him. Not yet.
For all the Desolation’s destruction, there was always that element of restraint, as well. The precision of a readied blow, a hammer waiting to fall, the car-and-mouse game as they studied how to make it hurt most.
They never destroyed everything. If everything was gone, what was left to hurt?
“I should have mentioned,” Gerry says, pushing through the curtain with the tattoo gun and inks in his hands. “I can hear pretty much anything that happens in the shop.”
Martin flushes scarlet, all the way to his ears. “Yeah?” he says. “Is that what, some kind of spooky power?”
Jon is looking at Martin as if he’s the one who has just manifested spooky powers.
“Sound carries,” Gerry says, setting the packaged needles down in their tray. “But yeah, it kind of is.”
“Jon has a conspiracy wall,” Sasha points out.
“I do not have- I do not have a conspiracy wall,” Jon sputters.
“Yeah, Sash,” Tim says. “We have a conspiracy wall. It was a team effort.”
“I mean, it was Jon’s-“
“Don’t think I didn’t see you adding pins.”
Gerry lifts his hands. “Not in a place to judge,” Gerry says. “I mean, Martin’s right. I do have a wall."

Jon swallowed, feeling faint. "Why...why are you here, then?"
"I would have rather hoped it was obvious, but we tend to be slow to accept these kinds of things at this point in our lives. Such a waste of time." The figure finally stood up, stepping forward slightly so Jon could see them.
"'We'?" Jon asked, but then stumbled back, understanding in one horrific moment.
Because he was looking at himself.

Bookmarker's Notes
Qian Cao’s station tested medical knowledge and survival skills. Teams had to correctly diagnose various 'patients'. The challenge was supposed to be straightforward—until a few teams realised they had the option to sabotage others by intentionally giving incorrect diagnoses.
(“This is actual blasphemy,” Mu Qingfang muttered, watching a Bai Zhan disciple dramatically declare that the An Ding Peak’s team’s patient had been poisoned, attempting to disrupt their focus.
“That’s the pirate way,” Ace said proudly.
Qing Jing Peak’s team, unsurprisingly, passed with flying colors. Shen Jiu, standing behind his disciples, watched in satisfaction as they accurately assessed every patient. Ming Fan, Luo Binghe, Ning Yingying, and the others exchanged glances, silently hoping for their Shizun’s approval. Shen Jiu’s lips curled into a rare smile as he nodded at them.
Bai Zhan, on the other hand, had to redo their entire assessment three times after Liu Qingge, upon running out of patience, decided to 'solve' the challenge by lifting up the 'patient' and demanding they walk it off.)

On an ordinary night in the secluded Cang Qiong Mountain Sect, Qing Jing Peak Lord Shen Qingqiu was caught off guard by a strange occurrence. A flash of fire appeared in his room, then faded, leaving behind a bleeding, unconscious man.
Two worlds collide. One teaches the ways of cultivation, while the other tells tales of the seas. A fragile bond begins to form between two broken souls, struggling to forgive themselves, to heal, and to live. Can they find redemption in each other’s company, or will the weight of their pasts consume them both?

"...Wait. Does that mean Rich Slacker is weak?"
[The Constellation Innocent Man squirms in guilt.]
[The Constellation Great and Mighty Raon Miru readily admits that the Constellation Rich Slacker is very weak.]
[The Constellation Abyssal Black Flame Dragon sniffs in disdain at the revelation.]
What the. Was Rich Slacker the supporter type or something?
And the accusation didn't end there.
[The Constellation Innocent Man claims that even the current you are still stronger than the Constellation Rich Slacker.]
[The Constellation Great and Mighty Raon Miru reveals that the Constellation Rich Slacker could easily get blown away by the wind.]
[The Constellation Innocent Man laments that the Constellation Rich Slacker faints a lot.]
[The Constellation Great and Might Raon Miru adds that the Constellation Rich Slacker is especially prone to coughing up blood.]
…How feeble must this guy be?

[The Constellation Rich Slacker proudly admits that he is very weak indeed and prefers to do nothing but lounge about.]
“...That’s not something to be proud about, you slacker.”
As expected, once the statue was destroyed, items and a skill related to the Great Monk Samyeong appeared in his hands. Dokja smiled in satisfaction and was about to go back when a message stopped him in his tracks.
[The Constellation Rich Slacker claps at you for your bountiful harvest.]
[You have been gifted 5,000 coins.]
Dokja stared at the message. Rich Slacker was one weird Constellation, alright. Everytime he did something outrageous, Rich Slacker would gift him a large amount of coins.
What was weirder was the conversation between Constellations that always followed after.
[Several Constellations feel nostalgic by your action.]
[The Constellation Cat Ninjas wonder if you are going to throw bags of bread into a hole under a cursed tree as well.]
[The Constellation Great and Mighty Raon Miru thinks you also won’t mind going through deadly fires and vicious tornadoes.]
[The Constellation Innocent Man asks whether you also want to throw millions of coins into lava.]
“...That would be absurd.”
[Several Constellations refuse to believe you.]
Dokja felt offended.

Summary
“No, you don’t understand,” Wayne cut in, gesturing back at the abandoned warehouse at the edge of the taped-off scene. “These–kidnapping attempts–always start out the same way. Remove the clothes. Humiliate the victim. Make them feel powerless, so they’re less likely to fight back. Remove all sense of their personality so they’re more likely to comply–”
Jim tuned out his rant slightly, examining the small bats on Wayne’s boxers. Ignoring the fact that no underwear was meant to be worn that tight, the tiny decorations were almost…familiar.
“–well, guess what, kidnappers?” Wayne punctuated his point with a jab of his hand, gesturing at his underwear. “I don’t feel powerless. My personality is right here–-”

“Nice panties, Wayne,” she said, “You get ‘em on sale?”
“Don’t patronize me, Ramirez,” the billionaire muttered, but the words had no bite. “Would you like to get kidnapped out of the blue every week? I mean, for Christ’s sake, I even had my assistant email them my schedule once, and they still took me in the middle of a meeting–”
“Mr. Wayne, wouldn’t you consider that a bit of security risk?”
Jim turned, following the deep voice to the dark-haired reporter who’d pushed through the tape earlier. He was standing a few feet away, pen cocked above a fresh sheet of his notebook. His press badge dangled under a devilish smile.
Wayne went silent, eyes locked with the newcomer. A hand pulled at the edge of his briefs, tugging them down over the top of his thighs.
“Aw,” Ramirez said, in the intervening silence. “He’s blushing. Look, Jim.”
“It’s not a security risk if it’s convenient,” Wayne finally forced out, cheeks bright pink. “Can I help you, Mr…”
“Kent,” the reporter replied, crisp. He scribbled something on the notepad, eyes flicking back up to his subject. “Mr. Wayne, any comment on your attire before the Planet runs the story?”
Jim took a step back, frowning. The air had turned heated between the two men; he could almost taste the tension.
“Yes,” Wayne finally said, clipped. “The next person who kidnaps me is getting one hell of a surprise.”
Kent’s smile widened. “I’m not sure I understand what you’re implying.”
“Why on earth would you say I’m lying?” Wayne levelled an impressive glare at Kent, digging his heel into the dirt. “I didn’t know the Planet hired idiots–”
“Implying, Mr. Wayne–”
Jim watched as the two men drifted closer with every jab traded, leaning in toward each other. Ramirez grabbed his elbow, pulling him back a few feet so the two could have a little privacy.
“Who let him in?” She asked, as Wayne threw his hands up, inches from Kent’s face. The reporter didn’t flinch. “No press past the tape, right?”
“No idea,” Jim said, watching as Kent’s glasses slipped past his eyes, a vivid flash of blue catching his gaze before he righted the frames. “Must be a smooth talker.”
“–don’t like the way you’re speaking to me at all,” Wayne was growling, his finger in Kent’s face.
“Oh yeah?” the reporter’s voice dropped to a deep baritone, a shiver of authority running through it. The change in tone was…almost familiar. “Well, I don’t like your underwear.”
Wayne tilted his head, putting a hand to his hip. Jim put a hand to his face as the billionaire cocked his hip out, cameras flashing instantly to catch the pose. “Why the hell not?”
“For starters,” Kent bit his lip, looking up through his lashes. “They’re still on.”
Whatever was said after that was obscured by the blood rushing to his head. Jim grabbed Ramirez’s hand, stumbling toward the ambulance, half-dragging the lieutenant behind him.
“We’re missing the best part!” she protested.
Jim blinked, willing the image of Wayne’s briefs from his mind.
“I think we all saw more than enough.”

Summary
In freshman year of high school, Danny pulled away from his friends without explanation.
At sixteen, he disappeared. Sam and Tucker presumed him dead. His parents insisted he was taken by ghosts.
As young adults, they run into him in Gotham, of all places. It's a stroke of luck that brings their best friend back to them.
If only it was that easy for the Bats to find the god damn engineer that's been running circles around them while they try to track him down.
Tim's not sure what he'll do first when he finally finds the brilliant bastard - kiss him or punch his teeth in.

“His fucking phone went off. All of a sudden the empty air next to me was blasting the Ghostbusters theme song and an invisible man was swearing like a sailor until it cut out.”
Tim purses his lips. “I can't be sure, considering I couldn't see him, but…I think he probably has flight too.”
“Flight?” Dick says, furrowing his brow. He crosses his arms and shakes his head, looking both thoughtful and troubled. “No, that's not possible.”
Tim blinks. “What? Why not?”
Dick ‘ Be Nice, Little Wing’ Grayson looks him dead in the eyes and says, “Because according to all known laws of aviation-”
Yall you have no idea how bad I wanted to make drunk Danny bonk his dumb little face into that alley wall because he forgot to turn intangible the first time
“This isn't about mingling ,” he bites out, ignoring the sound of Damian clicking his tongue. “This is an information gathering op. How, pray tell, am I supposed to turn on the charm and put feelers out about the Engineer if I'm tripping over my own tongue and eye fucking her date?”
“Okay first of all, reign it in and look respectfully-”
“Have you seen the suit he's wearing?”
“I encouraged him to choose it, actually-”
“Oh, so you want me dead. Is that it, you want to kill me? He looks-”
“I'd like to request something of you, if I may,” Damian says.
Danny glances at Sam and shrugs. “Uh, sure. What's up?”
“My brother Timothy was hoping to speak to you,” Damian directs at Sam, “but is intimidated by your companion's apparent good looks and has descended into pathetic bumbling.”
Damian's sharp green eyes slide back to Danny. “He has been standing in place arguing about whether he should approach you for the past few minutes and I am too young to develop gray hairs or hypertension from irritation, Daniel. Please go put him, and me, out of our misery.”
Danny is shaking with suppressed laughter by now. He opens his mouth a couple of times before he can trust himself to actually speak.
“I prefer Danny. Uh, I'd love to, but I'm not very familiar with your family, so I'm not sure what he looks like?”
Damian clicks his tongue. “He is over by the hors d'oeuvres table, making frantic cease and desist gestures.”
Danny turns to look, making eye contact with a young man slashing his hand across his throat. Timothy balks as soon as Danny looks at him, turning bright red and hiding his face in his hands as he turns away.
Tim lifts his head. “What about your friend Danny?”
“What about Danny~?” Jason breathes theatrically into the comms.
“Your sexy hot friend Danny?” Steph adds in.
Tim shrugs. “Then maybe I should pay him a visit, see if he's a little friendlier. What do you think?”
“Do you think I should visit Danny?” Dick asks dreamily, voice still a little rough from the popcorn debacle. “Uwu?”
Tim has to clench his jaw not to bark a laugh at the ‘uwu’, he won't lie.
“I hope Danny and I can get ‘friendly’,” Steph adds. He can see her batting her eyelashes in his mind.
Bruce's third son is covered in glitter. Just coated in it. He's a walking talking disco ball of angry wet cat vibes that has Bruce pressing his lips together and trembling in a desperate attempt not to lose his shit right here and now.
“Wh- Ahem. What happened, chum?”
Tim directs his dry glare over to Bruce. “What do you think?”
“I am going to kiss the Engineer on the mouth,” Jason announces.
“Get in line,” Steph retorts, and Dick cuts in before Jason can fire back with palms outstretched.
“Guys, guys. I think we can all agree we are going to line up neat and orderly to kiss the Engineer on the mouth at this point. I, as the oldest, will get first dibs.”
Damian sneers. “Disgusting. I will be taking part in no such activity-”
“Why, because he's not a hot goth girl?” Steph cuts in, cackling as Damian flushes bright red and bristles.
“No! And for the last time, I do not have a crush on-”
“Oh of course not, you just think she's ‘admirable under pressure, impressively strong and a conscientious activist with strong moral values'-”
Constantine looks over at him with a sneer, pauses in bafflement, then visibly decides he doesn't want to know and pretends Red Robin isn't intensely bedazzled.

Summary
When Shen Yuan dies, cursing the disappointing ending of Proud Immortal Demon Way, he wakes up to find himself inside the story, as a demon NPC. Which is pretty cool, as far as transmigration experiences go! The only problem is that his character is trapped in the form of a dragon-like beast, alone in a half-ruined castle. But he adapts, keeping to himself aside from one quick trip to the human realm that triggers a minor plot deviation with major consequences.
After that experience, Shen Yuan retreats into solitude again… until the Immortal Alliance Conference, where he decides to intervene more intentionally in Luo Binghe's fate. After taking the young protagonist under his wing, however, he’s surprised to learn just how much the story has already diverged from its origins.
And he and Luo Binghe are both surprised when the Bai Zhan War God, Liu Qingge, tracks them down—determined to ‘rescue’ the disciple who once saved his life.
(A Bingliushen story, vaguely inspired by Beauty and the Beast.)

Summary
Red Hood has three rules:
1. No team-ups.

He’s just praying the Pit takes him now.Series

“That’s Edmund Dorrance, he recently moved to Gotham from Hong Kong.”
Jason whips his head around. “Who the fuck moves to Gotham?” He turns back to study the businessman. “He must be up to something.” -

Summary
Damian Wayne has been slowly breaking ever since Drake returned from his jaunt across dimensions, and no one notices. Damian decides that if no one wants him (if Drake is always meant to be better, if The Menace is a better pill to swallow), then he might as well find a new life.
Fortunately, there's that nifty dimensional gun lying around because the fools from that dimension haven't learned to hold on to it, even after the Todd Situation.
