    Summary

    “It's the fucking Eden version. Their calendars and years are horrible.”

    “Horrible?” Jack nodded at her.

    “They have around 152 days in a calendar year, two and a half times shorter than ours,” Ava's heart sank, “and there's the COI calendar version-”

    The image flickered, there was almost no change to the image at all. Her eyes scanned it, until they landed on his biographical data.

    His name was Simon, he was convicted of several counts of murder, manslaughter and terrorism.

    He was born the 4thth of February, 2820. Age 15.

    Eden needed soliders for war, and kids are far easier to indoctrinate. But how do you get your people to be okay with this? The awnser: lie.

    If a few kids have to die to make ends meet? Well, It's just bigger than us.

    (OR I wanted to write a fic where Simon is actually just a really fucking scared and traumatized child, because Mark you hurt me with that ending so name Simon will get hugs. Did not expect ppl to actually like this concept LMAO, good to see other Kid!Simon fics popping up :)

    Summary

    Fridays were the worst, and Scar looked forward to them every week.

    His shifts at the zoo were often arduous, and his legs always ached violently from the constant bustle, but Quiz Night always made his day better. Especially with all the turmoils of the city making everyone so jumpy, maybe even himself, he needed this time to be with friends, away from work and the rising rates of villains. And all he needed to do to get to that serenity was to grab his bag from the bird sanctuary and return to the safety of street lamps and his friendly security guard.

    But that wasn’t what happened. Because Scar wasn’t alone that night.


    Or, Scar, a down-on-his-luck bird specialist at a local zoo, found himself absolutely infatuated with the avian vigilante Phantom, for the appeal of crime was far too alluring to be ignored.

    Summary

    In the dim light, Grian could still make out distinct features of the man's face. He had scars littering his skin. One went through his eyebrow; another started at his lip and travelled below his chin. His lips were full, his nose a bit puffy, as if he'd been punched. There was a mask looped over one ear, and Grian knew he was meant to be wearing it. But it was his eyes that really made Grian tremble. 

    His eyes were a kind of piercing that had the capability to strike fear with a glance. They were bright green, the brightest Grian had ever seen in his life. They were calculating eyes. Cold eyes. The eyes of a killer. 

    And Grian was frozen, trapped by them. He couldn't move. He couldn't scream. He was half crouched behind a tree and some bushes that did nothing to hide the stark whiteness of his wings or the overwhelming bright red of his sweater. He was out in the open, exposed to a murderer. 

    "Fly away, Birdie,"

     

    After seeing something he's not supposed to see, Grian gets pulled into the dark world of Hermit City's resident serial killers and falls in love in the process.
