Summary
Several years after the war, an ostracized Draco Malfoy covers himself in tattoos, becomes best friends with a muggle, and debates abandoning magical society entirely to work in a tattoo shop. All in all, he's having a hell of a time trying to figure out who he is and what he wants to do with his life. The last thing he needs is to run into Harry Potter, who seems intent on becoming his friend, even if he has to get a lot of ink to do it.

Summary
As part of his penance program after the war, Draco returns to Hogwarts to retake seventh year. The Ministry is not at all kind (why would they be), his professors seem to both loathe and pity him, he's anxious all the time, and Harry Potter will always be a thorn in his side. Even if Potter is pretty okay at tutoring. Honestly, Harry is just trying to not make things worse.
A story of PTSD, recovery, and redemption, with a touch of dark magic and curses.

Summary
The word ‘metal’ flings itself around in his skull, over and OVER and over and, metal turns to mental and Junior is laughing, wheezing, choking over trying to tell Daddy the joke that is in there somewhere, somewhere, he just has to find a way to make it funny.
And Daddy smiles so so wide at him, and maybe he has managed to make it a joke - a joke that can be heard - after all.
The part that is and isn’t Junior screams, he screams in unison, inside, inside, so Daddy can’t hear.
He bundles it all up, the anger and the fear and the terror terror, he has it and holds it and twists, shaking, until it burns into manic, sparking excitement.
Or: Joker Junior Tim with DID.

Summary
“Sorry, Jaylad,” Bruce said, sounding not sorry at all, the bastard, “but I am vengeance.”
Jason twisted his neck just so Bruce could get the full force of his incredulous stare. “Are you fucking kidding me.”
Bruce grinned. “Afraid not.”
Jason didn’t have time to do anything other than yell one final “Fuck!” before he was flung bodily into the pool.
