    Summary

    On the day Theseus Hendrick Mycroft died, no one cried, not even him. He was a despised man, the crown prince only in title. Many would claim he was shunned even by the gods but they would be wrong. See, there is an ancient law that even the gods must listen to, the law of free will. If the mortals walking the earth decided Theseus was unworthy of love then there was little the gods could do to change their minds.

    At least, not while he was alive. A fancy little loophole, a favor from Time who adored Theseus just as much as the rest of the gods, and Theseus would live once more, now with divine favor bleeding from his skin. The Kingmaker System would ensure he will live to see the end of his fate, to be the greatest king the world has ever known.

    But... a small issue. The morality of the gods is much different than the morality of man and the system was designed with their view of morals and what makes a good king in mind.

    The descent into depravity is slow but inevitable.

    Summary

    It was surprisingly hard to keep a vigilante presence off the radar.
    Somehow, it was when Tommy was using his identity that could literally turn invisible, that he’d been almost immediately clocked by the heroes. He’d really only been just starting to have a presence when the heroes cornered him about it. Surprisingly, instead of attempting arrest, they’d recruited him. And who was he to say no to free access to the hero database and nice bathrooms?
    One power per secret identity, that was his rule, and he still had a couple more up his sleeve. The heroes could have one. As a treat. He was generous like that. He’d just take more care to keep his other identities off the radar.
    Simple.
    If only things worked out as planned. Somehow, it hadn’t taken long for his next vigilante persona to be noticed as well, though not by heroes this time.
    “I hear you talk to ghosts.” Said a deadpan voice.

    --

    Tommy can't help wanting to help, and he keeps getting powers so why not have more than one secret identity, yeah? Hero, vigilante, villain, coffee barista, and maybe one other.

    Or I read so, so many vigilante fics that I caved in and stuffed all of my ideas into one fic.

    Summary

    Tommy had lived and died as Theseus, Icarus, Orpheus and Sisyphus. But all he wanted to be was free.

    In which Tommy Soot, originally born in 1509, is cursed to be reborn, to never reach adulthood unless he figured out the Greek myth of his lifetime. He had one rule of not allowing himself to get attached to people but he would have never guessed that a foster family of the creator of Minecraft, an anime stan and a Soundcloud musician would break that rule.

     

    ~ SBI Foster AU but with Greek mythology.

    Summary

    Theseus knew who he was as Red Nebula, that title - that name - felt like home.

    It felt like four walls and a door to hide behind. A mask and a hero and a boy who everyone thought was a man. It was a mentor with a too-tight grip on his shoulder and constantly busted lips. It was duty and a job, a list of things to get checked off and a number of injuries to bandage up, a map of survival scarred into skin.

    Tommy feels like a slow motion shipwreck and he doesn’t know how to get off the sinking boat. He doesn’t know how to be Tommy.

    It’s been three months since the League of Organized Heroes fell and he still doesn’t know how to be anything but Red, but the sidekick. Doesn’t know how to go back to the boy he was before he became a weapon; doesn’t know how to let his hands just be hands, how to be a civilian instead of a hero.

    He gets up and there’s no armor to put on, no training or bloody fights.

    He gets up and he’s alone. No mentor, no Organization breathing down his neck, no heroes to bump into at HQ or villains to bare teeth at.
    Tommy has freedom now and he doesn’t know what to do with it.

    It’s been three months. He should have his shit figured out by now.

    Summary

    Tommy loves his older brothers! Way more than he should, probably. Oh well, at least he’s discreet about it.
    (No he’s not.)
