    Summary

    Batman is dead and Damian has taken his place. Damian, who spit on Tim when he was alive, when they were supposed to be brothers. Damian al Ghul who shares blood with Tim's former Master, his kidnapper, his torturer. Damian, who doesn't deserve to stand in their father's shoes. Damian, who treats the new Robin like the little brother Tim always wanted to be to him. Back then. Before.

    And Tim has some things to say about all that.

    -- --
    "Damian?" Tim chokes out. And it is. Damian is crouching in front of him. Older, bigger, wearing Bruce's suit, but his face is bare and his brow is knit in concern.

    But he has his grandfather's eyes and all Tim can see is Ra's between blinks.

    Summary

    Not even from a certain point of view did Darth Vader kill Anakin Skywalker. He wished he did, but the specter of the Jedi’s light escaped before he could finalize his fall to the dark. Meanwhile, Anakin is raising his son on Tatooine.

    It would be easier if:
    1) he weren’t a Force ghost nobody but his toddler could see and 2) Obi-Wan would stick around so somebody could teach Luke about the Force.

    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    “Regulus,” Sirius finally said, once he trusted he had his own voice under control, “has never once let me help him, even before I was a filthy blood-traitor. Why the fuck do you think I’d be able to save him now?”

    Tomorrow night. Kreacher’s words throbbed inside his head. Regulus will die tomorrow night.

    Sirius definitely wasn’t going to be getting any sleep at all this week.

    Sirius thought he had cut all ties with his family, but when Kreacher shows up in his bedroom with a dire warning, he's hardly able to let his idiot little brother die. And when he learns about the Horcrux his brother was chasing, he's hardly about to let him take on Voldemort alone.

    But getting tangled up in the House of Black again is not the best way to prove his innocence among an already-suspicious Order. Sirius has to walk a fine line if he wants to keep everyone he loves alive.

    (This series is in chronological order but does not need to be read in that order. NO other stories in this series are required reading, but all are suggested to flesh out the backstory.)
