    Summary

    When a simple training exercise goes haywire, Maven wakes up to discover that amnesia has robbed him of the last year. One measly year didn’t seem too terrible. That is, until he discovers that he is now the King of Norta, both his parents are dead, the 100 Year War has ended, he married the princess of his century-long enemies, House Samos has run off to create their own kingdom, and his brother wants his crown back and is currently trying to kill him for it. Oh, and now Reds can have abilities like Silvers. Also they’re rebelling.

    Things aren’t adding up, he’s all alone, everyone wants to kill him, and he’s only 17—No, wait, 18. 18. He’s 18 now. He’s got to remember that.

    Needless to say, it’s all a little overwhelming.

    Summary

    The heaving evens out into something more sustainable, a rhythmic sob just barely audible from Laurie's room.

    He cannot sleep. He cannot stomach it. Stupid, soft-hearted, defective Laurie has never had the stomach to do the sensible thing.

    Or: Laurie hears Evander crying in the middle of the night. He tries to help the only way he can.

    In Gotham, leaving a door unlocked should be considered a mistake.

    Every Thursday, Jason Todd finds his way back to your apartment after patrol: bruised, exhausted, and carrying more wounds than he’s willing to admit. 

    You both know how to survive.

    How to brace yourselves for the pain before it comes.

    How to live with loss.

    But after spending so long preparing yourselves to lose everything…

    Do either of you really know what it means to stay?

    This story takes place after the events of Jason's Prince of Gotham run.

    Summary

    Entry 912,
    Our relationship is a ghost. Colorless, pale, withered, old. Sleeping. I think that's why my brother sometimes drinks himself half to death, why he dares the world to take him, why he sinks his teeth into anyone who gets too close. What greater pain is there than to be told that every good thing in your life was never real? That those very memories you held close, the moments that made you believe, were only ever illusions? Our father, the king, made sure I knew of this. I tell myself that I can save him, even when the only thing I have left to do is to watch him spiral, to chase after him, holding onto the thread of hope that screams that I can pull him back to the ledge before it's too late. But ever since the day I discovered the truth, I've been a pitiful shell of who I was. Like I'm not the crown prince, but instead, I'm imitating myself, trying to remember. And my brother, he doesn't even seem to try and yet...he just falls. And I keep reaching, and reaching, and reaching. Maybe this is what love is. No. Love is what I've already lost.
    - Alistair

    Or: A self-destructive prince drowns in grief, a kingdom balances on the verge of collapse, and the inevitable sway of love.

    Summary

    Rosalind is feeling awful sorry for herself after another fight with her boyfriend. It's a good thing Shane comes by with a way to cheer her up.

     

    An AU to This Old Community Center series, not canon to the original fic, just a dirty side tangent.
