A Ringing In My Ears (And Blood On Yours) by PencilofAwesomeness
Fandoms: The Owl House (Cartoon)

Summary
There was a ringing in his ears. He heard the boy’s words, but he also heard the voice that he would rather forget. Hunter’s voice was nothing like Caleb’s, of course, but the face played tricks in his mind. Philip focused on the differences, to ground himself, but seeing a witch’s ears on Caleb’s face was only irritating him further.
--
Or, the day Hunter lost a piece of his ear.

Summary
It didn’t matter what he said, nothing really did, because that too could be corrected.
Again and again, until the Palistrom forests were all cut down.
Until every bone of the Ortet had been stolen from a certain man's grave and every Selkidomus pup lost its mother.
Until the Galdorstones became so rare they were only legend and the time pools dried up and the Stonesleepers were truly extinct.
Until he ran out of titles to give them.
And all he had to do was rehearse a simple little line.
“I’m afraid he didn’t make it. There was nothing to be done.”
His word on its own.

Summary
"You're, what, sixteen?"
Hunter did not have much use for birthdays so he tended to measure years in injuries and others’ guesses about his age. And he had a lot of injuries. More than sixteen, at least.
A look back at why Hunter always wears concealing clothing and never takes off his gloves.
And one time he does.

Summary
Hunter was five years old when he first learned of the human god.
His uncle had led him into a small, curtained off section in his personal chambers. He was old enough to understand now, Uncle said. He was old enough to keep this a secret from the rest of the castle.
Hunter was expecting something exciting. He expected something a lot more than a low table that held nothing more than a wooden cross and some candles.+++
When Belos made his newest grimwalker, he didn't expect this one to be created without a bile sac. He didn't expect it to look almost exactly like his brother either. Seeing this as a second chance, Belos tries to save his nephew's soul.
Hunter copes with having two gods and a devout uncle watching over him.Bookmarked by EzSS

Summary
The faces in the house are unfamiliar, but he suspects he should know them. He sees the way they all look at him with that strange sort of pity in their eyes, the way they usher him off to bed to avoid having to explain things. He's not dumb - he's knows that something's not right, that he shouldn't be here.
But he doesn't know anything more than this, so why should he question it?

Summary
There is scarred over tissue on his hands from cuts that never got the chance to heal right. There are mismatched colored bruises on his arms and shoulders that look suspiciously adult-hand sized. There are dark bags under his eyes that can't be thumbed away or peeled off like a sticker. And there is a deep-seated fear and lack of self-worth that is so ingrained into his psyche, that it's practically tattoed on his heart and ribs.
And there are things that Darius just can't do, like try out healing magic, or wear black socks with brown sandals, or forget about the death of his beloved mentor from his youth.
But there is a kid. A kid barely 10 years old, who flinches away when his name is called. Who would stand in the acid rain and hurt himself just to prove his importance. Who believes that he's not good enough. That he deserves every broken bone and bloody nose he gets. That love is conditional.
There is a little kid, who is fighting for his life right in front of him, and Darius can't do a lot of things, but Titan be dammed if he can't at least help this one kid.

The Golden Gu-
Hunter, she reminds herself, He’s just Hunter now. Hunter has only been with them for a few days now, but she’s already seeing some pretty strange patterns. Patterns that would have been worrying no matter who the kid was, but are especially distracting given that he’s Belos’s kid.
Hunter has been cleaning nonstop.

“It better be important.” Laurent says.
Nicaise pushes the door open and Laurent looks up, his expression instantly changing. His brows furrow and he nods for Nicaise to come in. He sighs quietly and stands up, placing his papers down on the table.
“You’re shivering.” He says.
“Do you ever stop working?” Nicaise remarks tiredly as he shuts the door.

Summary
“Mother always liked you better,” she says quietly. She looks away from Zuko, lip beginning to curl again. “No wonder you’re so determined to believe that she’s alive.”
“Mother loved you, too,” Zuko says, and even he knows how weak that sounds. Azula throws her head back and laughs, but it comes out all wrong and hoarse and raw as though she’s strained her throat.
“Oh, Zuzu.” Azula walks forward, abruptly throwing her hands up against the bars of the cell. Zuko refuses to flinch as she leans forward. “I don’t know how you’ve survived this long if you still believe that.”
---
Post-canon rewrite intended to replace the comics. Explores Azula's redemption arc and Zuko's struggles (and successes) as the Fire Lord. Featuring politics, borderline international crises, Zuko and Azula desperately needing to learn basic self care, and too many assassination attempts to be healthy.

Summary
The crack echoes through the room. His knees hit the ground in prostration, in penance.
(His mouth runs with warm iron. It will soon become a familiar taste.)
“Pathetic,” says his father from high on above. “I should have drowned you at birth.”
I’m sorry, he thinks, but doesn’t dare say.
He knows it would only come out wrong.
The first time he tastes the back of his father’s hand, he is five. It is not the last.
