Summary
Gotham City has always been a place where monsters wear human faces. For over two centuries, one secret has stayed buried deeper than all the rest.
The Szarr family arrived in Gotham in the early 1800s. Aristocratic, pale, and impossibly wealthy. They built a manor on the outer edge of the old quarter, kept to themselves, and outlived everyone who thought to ask questions. To the city's elite, Cazador Szarr is merely a reclusive eccentric billionaire.
The young man always at his side is introduced as his ward. His heir. Astarion Ancúnin is beautiful and charming and has not made a single choice of his own free will in two hundred years.
Nightwing has brought down crime lords, assassins, and monsters wearing human faces. He is very good at his job. When a string of missing persons leads him to the Szarr family's doorstep, he's confident he knows what he's walking into.
He has never been more wrong about anything in his life.

Summary
“Ody, get away from the ledge.”
He can hear the command in her voice, the sternness she’s using to hide the nervous quiver. He doesn’t care.
“You don’t know! You don’t know anything!” He sounds hysterical, shouting nonsense into the sky as he is. Even he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Of course she doesn’t know. She doesn’t care. She never has.
Or: Odysseus spends seven years on an island. He does not enjoy it.

Summary
Fig tilted her head as she listened to the Sending spell. “Right off the streets of Leviathan. She’s not hurt, but she’s out of spells and they’ve stuck her in an orb.”
“I will bloody murder them,” Aelwyn fumed. “I will burn their stupid little tower to the ground and melt their spellbooks into slag. Who do they think they are—”
The kids had already leapt into action. Kristen was calling the group thread to marshal up Riz, Gorgug, and Fabian. Fig had rushed upstairs to throw together a pile of gear, returning with a mishmash of bags and weapons and snacks.
The Court of Stars is not willing to let their Elven Oracle simply walk away. Three weeks after returning from the Nightmare Forest, they make another retrieval attempt. Alone and cut off from her party, Adaine is plunged into a battle of wills as she bides her time for escape

There are not many periods of the past anyone would want to be unceremoniously sent to, the time right after the Trojan war is certainly not among them.
But the gods recongize their blood and have not yet been tempered by time.
-
Odysseus would like to get home as quick as possible, but a task from Athena will delay their departure from the Trojan shores a bit longer.

Summary
Using the Whumpcember 2023 prompts, in order, in one fic.
("Comfort/Hurt" as in it starts comforting, and then the pain comes.) Slow burn abuse fic where the victim doesn't even realise he's a prisoner.
Several years post-War, Draco is found wandering, incoherent, and ill, in the aftermath of an extended bout of the Imperius curse. Harry Potter brings him into his home to protect him while the rest of the world thinks he's dead.
Ultimately a story about survival.
