Summary
“Dabi. Untie him.”
Katsuki’s heart leaps. Holy shit, can it be that easy…?
“He’ll go wild, for sure,” says flame quirk - Dabi? - entirely unimpressed. Katsuki’s eye twitches.
“It’s okay,” Shigaraki says, all smug-sounding again. “We gotta treat him as an equal. We’re scouting him, after all. And before he throws a tantrum, our little U.A. student should be smart enough to know he can’t win. Not alone.”
The absolute asshole.
“Yeah? Bring a few more guys and it might actually be a fair fucking fight.”

Training Camp AU. When the League of Villains starts working on converting Bakugou the night he arrives rather than two days later, Dabi has a crisis of conscience. (An unexpected buddy fic between a reluctant vigilante!Dabi and a twice-kidnapped!Bakugou)

Not that Dabi even knows which circle he belongs to anymore. If there were a Venn diagram between Villain, Vigilante, and Idiot, there would be a tiny overlapping section in the center labeled with his name.

Summary
Charon is privy to the vast amount of knowledge pertaining to the denizens of the Underworld. But very few know anything regarding him. That is until, of course, he meets a certain someone.
Alternatively: a series of loosely connected vignettes following Charon through several moments leading up to the events of the game.

Bookmarker's Notes
Maybe it's the oppressive nature of the Underworld. Maybe it’s the self-conscious upset he’s experiencing. Maybe the stars are aligned and the sun is in Hermes’ eyes, but when Charon reaches out to the swiftly escaping Hermes, his grasp holds true.

Summary
Peccadillo: (Noun) A small, relatively unimportant offense or sin.
Hermes (and a select few of his siblings) have no compunctions about taking advantage of the opportunistic and unregulated environment of the American frontier territories. As the Olympian clan's family drama comes perilously close to having actual consequences, Hermes finds himself captured by the infamous bounty hunter Charon.
Being lugged around cross-country in handcuffs has no long-term Pavlovian effects; we promise.
Western AU inspired by Umichill's character designs. Updates every friday.

Bookmarker's Notes
There were very few things that seemed to please Charon (or at least put him into a pleasantly neutral mood). None of them involved Hermes.
The list so far seemed limited to:
1.) Cigarettes
2.) Proper maintenance of the head-bashing rifle
3.) His be-deviled wretch of a horse (which had developed a grudge against Hermes after escape attempt number two)

Summary
Hermes, despite his many responsibilities as messenger of the gods, is bored. Dismissed by the other gods, he tries to find solace in his work, but with so much time on his hands, he struggles. It takes meeting a single person to help him realise his worth and that he can be more than just a messenger.
A series of snippets that tell Hermes back story and his romance with Charon, up until the beginning of the game.

After so long, after so many strained and tired looks, he was used to irritating people with his long-winded stories. Even so, a voice in the back of his mind begged him to believe Charon. He needed to believe that someone wanted to listen to him.

Summary
Charon’s reached the very back of the crowd now, he can make out more of the man’s face, watch his eyes more closely as they dart around the crowd, still searching.
As you cast me from the mountain to your feet,
The man’s eyes finally lock on to his target and he grins, feral and predatory. He raises his hand… and points. Directly at Charon.
I'm yours to keep.
Chronic shut-in Charon is dragged to a concert by his twin brothers, where by happenstance a kind beautiful stranger bursts into his life. Charon would be content to scuttle back to his quiet house and forget the whole evening, but this determined acquaintance won't let him go so easily.

Summary
And with time and age, poverty and excitement were traded for comfort and monotony. His farm thrived; there was food on his table, friends in taverns, and townsfolk more than willing to buy his wares - life was good. Life was secure.
Life was also dreadfully, mind-numbingly boring. The days blurred into one, each one like the next which was like the next and the next. Even the nights he spent drinking with friends - an activity that he had once waited in giddy anticipation for - had devolved into a simple, unchanging routine.
Which must be, then, why Hermes was so willing to go through with the first ridiculously ill-advised idea that popped into his head, all in an effort to combat his increasing boredom.

Summary
Hermes darted down on impulse.
“Wait! I think I can help you out,” he offered, stopping just before the apparition.
This wasn't any different than helping a stranded shepherd or traveler, right? He answered their prayers all the time. This was just another lost soul, literally. He wasn’t infringing any boundaries by doing this. Probably.

“Everyone has these threads of connection ? Even gods ?” Hermes asked, feeling a sudden swell of panic as he swallowed.
“Oh, especially the divine ! And your longest, darkest thread ? It goes straight down,” Aphrodite answered cheerfully, poking his breastbone lightly for emphasis. Wings fluffing, Hermes felt his spine stiffen and face burn.

There's a lot to learn about the tourist trap that is Styx Beach; that it's a dry town, that it's made up of strange and interesting people, that its beholden to the only hotel generating any kind of tourism and it's stubborn owner, but there's one thing Hermes only starts to figure out five months into his time there:
He might be falling for that boat guy.

Summary
It's hard being an android out in the cruel and uncaring thermonuclear ravaged wasteland, on the run from your creators and trying not to raise suspicion from the locals to your synthetic nature. The only thing that makes it harder for Hermes is all the ways the cold ferryman's steely gaze makes his knees weak and his processors overheat for some reason. He has to ignore it, though, as between courier work and someone from Hermes' past blowing in to town, he's got a few other things to worry about besides a feeling that is definitely, certainly, absolutely not love.

And in those moments, by the fire at Charon’s outpost, on the barge, here at the bar surrounded by so many people and so many faces, Hermes isn't just some glorified tin can. For a while, with Charon sitting across from him as though there isn't a single soul he'd rather be listening to, Hermes can believe he's as much of a person as anyone else around them.

Summary
Before Hades is allowed to take his role as lord of the underworld, the goddess Nyx has a stipulation that must be met. A god of the Pantheon must marry one of her children, in order to cement the alliance between Olympian and Chthonic gods. Hermes has been chosen to marry Charon, Nyx’s eldest; whose bestial form is but one of the secrets tainting this union.

Summary
Ineffable, inevitable ferryman to the dead, Charon, is solitary in his existence. He has a singular purpose. Greet the dead. Take the coin. Ferry the dead. Repeat. There was no need for anything more.
A new god enters his life to help him guide the dead to their after life. Hermes, messenger to the gods, and the exact opposite of all Charon is, inserts himself into Charon's life and changes it completely.

Summary
Hawks works alone. It's what he's best at and what he prefers — other people have only ever slowed him down.
But after the media seizes on the success of an operation carried out by himself and the Cremation Hero 'Dabi', the HPSC decides to capitalise on the hype around the pair. What better way than sending their pet Pro to team up with the Number Two Hero's eldest son in order to root out the mysterious organisation known as the 'Meta-Liberation Army'?
Hawks agrees, admittedly intrigued by the prospect of learning more about the Todorokis. But nothing could have prepared him for the dark secrets lurking at the heart of that family, and the shadows it's cast over them all.

Sighing, he looked back up. “You’re really going to make me climb that.”
“Yes,” Adolin nodded. “For perfectly selfish reasons.”
He looked at him.
“Look at me,” Adolin signalled to himself. “I’m battered, exhausted, dirty, and ragged. I am not letting the last thing you see in your life is me in this poor state. It’s very undignified. I should look my best.”

“Whatever for? I’m injured, and the storm will kill me down here. If anything, I should be the bait.”
“You’re Dalinar’s son,” Kaladin waved him off, treating him like a brat once again. It made Adolin want to choke the life out of him.
“He has another son,” Adolin argued, stepping closer to the other, bracing himself for another fight.

Malik awoke suddenly – eyes snapping open in the darkness of the room. It took him half a moment to realise what had woken him, hand reaching for his sword scabbard before he had even noticed the figure by the window. Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, The Son of None... the Eagle, highlighted by the moon and half turned towards him – light coloured eyes just visible piercing through the shadows and his robes loose, baring the bloody wound on his shoulder.
Semi AU where Al Mualim raises Altair and trains him like a hunting bird: his Eagle, capable of the near impossible. Malik is never in Solomon's Temple and remains an assassin. There are still nine significant targets to be assassinated, and even bigger threats to the brotherhood to uncover...

There was an odd look in the Eagle’s gold eyes – below his lashes the bloody handprint still marked his pale cheek, dark streaks reaching across his face. Malik’s hand rose without thinking, as if to brush the mark away.
Altair stepped back out of reach.

Why… Why had this realisation struck him so late? Why had Malik never taken the time to try to understand Altair before? If he hadn’t been so brash, would Altair have still smiled? If he hadn’t allowed his jealousy to blind him, would Altair have ever changed? Would he still be here, sitting high up on these Castle walls, gazing up at the stars with longing?
Malik rubbed his eyes, trying to push away the thoughts. What use would “what-ifs” do now? Altair was dead. Altair was dead.
