    Summary

    “Thank you, sir.” Peter turned facing M.J. and Ned’s silhouettes that wobbled against the rising sun.

    “Call me Stephen,” Doctor Strange said.

    Peter smiled, “Thank you, Stephen.” The name felt odd coming out of his mouth.

    The laugh was slight, barely even one. “Still feels weird.” Stephen smiled; it was small and didn’t cause the edges of his eyes to crease.

    “I’ll see you around.”

    The Magician stared at him, eyes mourning something already lost. “Good luck kid.”

    Or: spider-man in gotham, just with identity.

    Summary

    Every piece of the signal Tim unlocked revealed more locks, and by the time he broke through the last one, he was already mentally rehearsing his many upcoming talk show appearances. 'Yes,' he told the interviewer, 'it was difficult for me, a ten-year-old genius, to break open the worldwide alien conspiracy. That's why it took a whole hour.'

    When the crackling audio started, he expected some weird alien language. Maybe squawks and high-pitched squeals mixed with musical woofs. Maybe they wouldn't talk at all, and images would beam directly into his mind. Maybe they'd talk in practiced English with a Midwestern drawl like their other resident alien.

    Instead he heard a low, guttural voice growling out of his computer speakers. "Robin," it said. "Are you in position?"

    But Kaz Brekker’s Brother? That was Death.

    Or, the one where Kaz has been a Corpsewitch all along.

    Edit 04/19/24: Apparently I somehow deleted a chapter at some point while editing this fic, so I went back and reposted my backup for that section. The fic is now complete from beginning to end *facepalm*

    Summary

    Cal Kestis was twelve years old when his entire world got flipped on its head. Barely twelve, he’d been at war since just after his ninth birthday, two years after being apprenticed to Master Tapal.

    And one month after his twelfth birthday, the war ended, and another one began.

    Cal’s journey from forsaken padawan to quiet scrapper to member of the Stinger Mantis crew, and all the friends he made and lost along the way.

    Summary

    Under the white light, all the shadows on Jesper’s face are stark. Sunken cheeks and sunken eyes, ashy knuckles and cracked lips. It’s a desolation of features. But there—his eyes dart, scanning Kaz’s face, his tongue flickers over his bottom lip, his chest rises and falls on one deep breath. Like dandelions between paving stones or the first rays of dawn. Not desolation, defiance.

    Kaz had thought Inej was hope, but looking at Jesper now he thinks, perhaps this is hope. Perhaps Jesper has been here—continues to be here, for hope. It is what might kill him one day but it is also what keeps him alive.

    _

    OR: A Kaz Brekker scheme doesn't quite go to plan - who'd have thought?
