    Summary

    John Constantine and Bruce Wayne have never gotten along.
    Neither do their children.

    Dick Grayson carries leadership like a second skin—tight, suffocating, impossible to take off. He chose the Nightwing mantle, chose the responsibility, chose to stand at the front. That doesn’t make it any easier. Not when the weight of an entire team rests on his shoulders. Not when every mistake feels like it could cost someone their life.

    Lily Constantine carries something worse: time.

    One of the few capable of travelling it, she lives with the kind of guilt that doesn’t fade. A war came and went, and she could have stopped it. Should have stopped it. The world changed, people suffered, and she did nothing.

    Now everything feels like her fault.

    When their paths collide, it isn’t just a clash of personalities or families—it’s a collision of burdens, of guilt, of two people holding more than they were ever meant to.

    Some responsibilities are chosen.
    Others never let you go.

    Summary

    Elain Archeron is not the trembling fawn everyone believes her to be.

    Two years after the war, she feels an awakening- a power which calls her to grow untamed things under moonlight. She then receives an invitation to master her abilities as a Seer under the guidance of an Oracle of the Day Court. All the while fighting an inevitable war of passion for a holy mess of a shadow-wreathed male who looks at her with all the longing in the world.

    So perhaps a little more softly, a little more lethally, Elain begins her journey down the path unknown. For there’s something blooming within her. Something darker, softer, and wilder than she can name- reaching for the song of the Void.

    “Damn the Cauldron.” Azriel strode towards her. “Damn the Stars.” He closed the distance.
    “This-” those scarred hands softly gripped her face, bringing it within an inch of his own. “This-” he wrapped his scent around her and met her gaze directly, making sure she could feel the charge, the need, the nameless want-

    “This could never be a mistake.”

    Summary

    Another lonely birthday, another empty year. You miss your family. You're late for your bills and rent, and even then, you got robbed last Tuesday.

    Still, you buy yourself a cupcake, because you need it. I mean, hey. What's dessert for if not to get over cheating boyfriends and dead relatives?

    As you blow out the candle, watching the clock switch from 11:59 pm to midnight of the next day, you make a wish.

    And because the world doesn't like to make much sense, it comes true. Your life is suddenly flipped on a dime, and you're stuck trying to catch up with it. Fantasy becomes reality. You're a Wayne now, apparently. Or you used to be. You're loved, you're rich, you're talented and powerful.

    Well, sort of. Careful what you wish for, right?

    Summary

    "While at night some of the others slept, we kept walking the tightrope. It was practice, and yeah... some of us fell."

    Sarah Grayson learned how to fly from a very young age.
    It didn't mean she was meant to.
    Some are just meant to fall.
    Just like Jason Todd was.

    Summary

    “Fear,” he smiled as if he was making a joke you didn’t yet understand, “shouldn’t control you. Not when it comes to opportunities like this."

    You’re silent, worrying your bottom lip between your teeth. Frozen in indecision, eyes focused on a random paper on his desk.

    Then he said your name quietly.

    “Fear only has as much power as you want to give it."

     You looked him in his eyes- his crystal clear eyes, penetrating and sharp in their clarity- and the words spilled from your mouth like you’d been put under a spell. 

    Hypnotized, like always.

    “Alright. Then I’ll do it.”

    or you accept an offer to TA for Dr. Jonathan Crane's Psychology of Fear class and everything goes to shit from there.
