    Summary

    “Is that all everyone talks about?" Annie says. "That I’m some kind of heartless monster?”

    It takes Armin a moment to answer. “I think those rumors tell more about the people who see you that way. Maybe being a heartless monster is what they want you to be or what they fear that you are," he observes gently, something dark and guilty brewing underneath his eyes. "Maybe it’s what they want to become—or what they loathe in themselves."

    ~O~

    AU in which becoming an Honorary Marleyan means fighting to the death for it. Loosely based on the mechanics of the Hunger Games.

    Summary

    Jujutsu society is stunned when it’s discovered that there are books written that tell the tale of sorcerers; they contain details so minuscule and specific that it cannot be counted as a coincidence. It causes enough unrest within the ranks that every available force is put into who is behind ‘Prometheus’ and why they know details that no one else does.

    Meanwhile, you are a university student, young, sleep-deprived, and most importantly, a person who keeps to herself. In the wake of the release of your newest bestselling novel, you’re no stranger to the increased attempts to find out your true identity.

    Although this time, it feels different. By the time the semester starts, you’re noticing increasingly strange encounters that could be dismissed as pure coincidences - if it weren’t for the rising fear that you’re being watched.

    Summary

    "And maybe Jason would have gone through with those plans. Maybe he would have cut off a bunch of heads, taken over the drug trade, enraged Black Mask, gotten Joker out of prison, and faced off against his father Batman in a building filled with explosives—

    But on his first night back, what does he see?

    The fucking Batmobile, parked in an alley near the edge of the Narrows, no Batman in sight. And abruptly, Jason is filled with an unstoppable urge that has nothing to do with the Pit, and everything to do with being a Grade A Little Shit.

    Luckily, there’s a hardware store only a few blocks away. He pays with cash. Quality tire iron and steel scissor car jack, $33.99. What a steal."

    Summary

    Do not seek him out. You remain unavenged.

    In the beginning, Jason viewed Talia’s words as the fire that forged the knife point of his rage and shaped a quest for revenge.

    With time and space, and after a lot of bruises, he came to appreciate Talia’s words for the warning they truly were. An attempt to impart insight that while Jason was alive, his life, his old life, was still over. That he’d changed so much, he no longer fit into the place he used to fill. And that the safety he used to find there had never been real.

    But that understanding came later, after time, and space, and a lot of bruises.


    Or,

    A Lost Days AU in which Talia makes different choices. Some things change, some things stay the same.

    Summary

    Maysilee shakes hands with Haymitch. She can’t feel where their skin presses together, because she’s seven years away and in front of the old school building. It was right after a summer storm, when the trees were damp and all the world seemed fresh and new. He didn’t know that anyone was watching. It was before he grew into those broad shoulders and high cheekbones, back when he was a scrawny little ten year old and she was the only one really looking at him. His hands were gentle as he cradled the mockingjay, and shivering between his delicate fingers it was even prettier than her golden pin.

    He didn’t sing, she remembers as they pull them all into the Justice Building, but he hummed for that little bird. Just a few notes of the Valley Song, where the words would be, Birds in the heavens know I love you, Know I love you, Oh...

     

    Or: The star crossed lovers of District 12, if Maysilee lived and thought of it first.
