    Summary

    “Listen, Jason,” Tim says frankly down the line, and Jason tenses at the use of his real name. That doesn’t happen. Not casually, at least. “I’m pretty sure I’m going to die, so I need you to stay on the line with me.”

    Jason short-circuits for a beat, and then runs the words back. “What?”

    Tim takes a deep breath, and it’s steady. “I’m going to die,” he repeats, “and I don’t want to be alone, so please stay on the line.”

    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

    In which Prudence Wood's transition from League Assassin to vigilante-adjacent operative goes about as smoothly as anyone could expect and Tim displays a deep dedication to puns, pop culture references, and rampant paranoia.

    Granted, the paranoia turns out to be entirely justified.

    Or: Pru travels the world, Tim schemes, and more than one alliance is tested.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Another absolute banger of a fic by this author. Fantastic slow burn friendship, genuinely clever twists, and full, rich characters. The research and immersion in the world is next level, and it manages to juggle an entire host of full, complex relationships and emotional events deftly, made all the more impressive from the outsider narrator's point of view.

    Summary

    There was nothing, not in a million years, that would convince All Might to accept the assistance of his nemesis. Nothing. Not a single damn thing.

    And then young Midoriya goes missing.

    Summary

    “He loved you, you know,” She says wistfully, meeting his eyes.

    Tim looks away. “I loved him too.”

    “Love.”

    “What?”

    “Love,” she repeats. “Not loved. He might be gone, but we don’t love him any less."
