    Summary

    Dick sags against the kitchen counter, spent and numb. He has no fight left in him. He’ll never be responsible for Tim and Jason being thrown in that system, separated and alone, starving, and… he flashes to what he's heard happens to boys alone in the system. That will never happen to Tim or Jason. He’s damn sure about that.

    And if Dick has to take a few hits to keep them safe, so be it. He can do that. Easily. Happily.

     

    Or, AU where Bruce Wayne isn't there when John & Mary plummet to their deaths. With no Bruce Wayne to take him in and the circus disbanded, Dick Grayson is thrown into the brutal reality of Gotham City's foster care system. Death follows him from the circus to the Drakes, and to Sheila Todd, where he accidentally starts a collecting little boys and tucking them under his wings.

    Dick Grayson is going to keep his brothers safe. He's going to make sure they all survive. And if he has to fend off drug addicts, gang members, and the weird Death Curse that seems to follow him, he'll do just that.

    Summary

    “I hate to intrude,” Alfred said, somehow utterly coherent despite being in his dressing gown and slippers, as he stuck his head into the kitchen. “But I would advise checking your voicemail.”

    “Who was it? Lucius?” Bruce muttered into his mug.

    “No,” Alfred said, and for the first time in months, a note of something like pressing urgency crept into his crisp accent. “A certain Miss Belgrave.”

    “Who?” Bruce looked up, scowling. “Is she one of Dick’s teachers?”

    Alfred arched a single eyebrow.

    …“Hi Bruce… if this is actually your number…” A woman’s scratchy, uncertain voice filled the silent kitchen. There was a quaver of nervous, watery laughter, as if she were on the verge of tears. “I just thought I should… um, let you know… I waited until I could see my obgyn, so you wouldn’t think this was some- well, you probably do, but- I’m pregnant. And I know you would probably want a paternity test, or whatever, so that’s happening… Oh, shit, I just thought I should let you know I’m keeping it. Um. That’s decided.” Her voice shook so badly for a second he thought the voicemail had dissolved into static. “Bye!” She hung up.

    Bruce stared at the phone for so long his tea grew cold.

    Summary

    Several years ago, a postdoctoral student named Elizabeth found herself landing in Middle Earth, a place that she had read and watched many times before. Only, this Middle Earth was different- darker. The Last Alliance of Elves and Men never happened for the elves abandoned mankind by forming a secret truce with Sauron. Mankind eventually won the war at great cost and quickly turned on those who betrayed them, the elves. Now, all elves in Middle Earth are hunted, and those caught are enslaved.

    In this strange and dark version of Middle Earth, Elizabeth found her way to Minas Tirith, became a heralded healer, and eventually her medical skills, knowledge of Middle Earth, and whits granted her the honorable position of Head Advisor to the King. For many years she has served Gondor well and fallen in love with this magical- if at times barbaric place. Yet, all this changes when an elf she recognizes shows up. Now, she finds herself navigating the dark waters of politics whilst trying to keep both her morality and responsibilities in tact.

    What will happen when she finds herself the master of an elven slave she never wished to own?

    Summary

    "The people who often times do terrible things, are the same ones who have had terrible things done to them."

    After Lord Voldemort murdered Harry Potter in the Battle of Hogwarts, the world became plagued with a darkness unlike anything it had seen before. Muggles were slaughtered in the streets, the Dark wizard's opponents were executed for show, and all those who had fought with the Order were forced into hiding.

    Avalon Hendrix had lost everything- her friends, her peers, her loved ones. Everything. So, when she was thrown back in time to 1943, she knew that it was up to her to change the course of time and rewrite a new history- one in which she must find the Horcruxes and murder Tom Riddle before he could ever become Voldemort.

    Tom Riddle.

    Avalon Hendrix.

    Either she was going to kill him, or he was going to kill everyone she loved. They were nothing more than two products of extreme circumstance that chose two very different paths, yet had time for their roads to converge.

    Summary

    Regulus Black knows what his future holds. He will be a good son, a good Pureblood, and a good Slytherin. He will not stray from the path set out for him since birth.

    The trouble begins with a bar of Fry’s Turkish Delight—or maybe it begins with a Charms competition, a stick-and-poke in the Prefects’ bathroom, and a Hufflepuff with strange magic.

    Or: Pandora Lovegood was born Pandora Trelawney. When her inconvenient magical gift puts her squarely in Regulus Black's path, an unlikely friendship blossoms. The consequences echo past their final year at Hogwarts, follow them to opposite sides of the battlefield, and change the course of the First Wizarding War for the better.
