  1. Summary

    The upsetting and cross-generational tragedy of a spacefaring royal family is all well and good when you aren’t the inheritor of your entire family’s successes and failures.

    Starstruck is a study in relationships on a galactic scale to explore how trauma doesn’t automatically make terrible choices the right ones. An ongoing exploration of how politics, relationships, and cross-generational trauma all fit together to create a cohesive mess, and then seeing how the people left behind pick up the pieces and carry on.

    It all starts in the halcyon days of Prince Velahnhiris Vaevyr.

    Summary

    It's a self insert fic. You know the drill.

    Featuring a grumpy protagonist who wants mochi, clean socks, and to maintain possession of their life and eyeballs in that order, a troll-dad sensei who's genuinely trying to understand the pint sized weirdos he's been saddled with but isn't sure where to start, and two team mates who are honest to god twelve year olds who canonically didn't mature until after the handy dandy time skip.

    Where, please, is the unsubscribe button, because I'd like to request a different afterlife.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “You aren’t Sakura, you aren’t allowed to call me Sasuke-chan.”

    “Naruto, my boy, there’s so much to teach you - and your darling teammates of course - but I have so many things to tell you about dealing with himes -”

    “You aren’t Naruto, you aren’t allowed to call me Hime.”

    He paused at that, squinting between me and Naruto. I lifted my chin and glared back, and Naruto nodded in stern agreement, staring Jiraiya down in a way that left no room for argument.

    “Huh,” he said. “I could make a book of this.”

    “Try it and die, coward man,” Sakura said pleasantly, and Naruto let a fang show at the edge of his grin.

    Coward man. Tsuki, your sins were forgiven. Jiraiya, the great toad sage, the last remaining loyal sannin even if he spent more time out of Konoha than in it, forever known as the coward man because a ploy to catch his godson’s interest backfired on him. Was Tsuki as clueless as she pretended to be about names, was she actually a little shit who was doing it on purpose - don’t know, don’t care, Tsuki got gold stars and a free pass from me.

    Coward man.

    Summary

    Rook put his affairs in order. He hugged a confused Viago and broke up with Harding. He needled Solas, and arranged things with Emmerich because he understands these things. He didn't say anything to anyone else, because it would all be a big mess and too many feelings he didn't have the capacity to deal with. He didn't say anything to Varric, but he thought the old man would get it anyway.

    It's not that Rook planned not to make it back. But. Well. Better to be practical about these things, and make sure the team would make it out the other end.

    Rook saw it all balance on the edge of a knife, and made the call. He fell into the blight, lost to the Veilguard and failing his mission.

    Rook wakes up.

    -

     

    Rook takes the fall and wakes up back in time, around the start of Inquisition. Lost, but determined to make things better this time. For other people.

    Summary

    “Thank you for your help, Nico.” Luke said kindly. “Seriously, we’d be dead without you. My name is Luke, son of Hermes. This right here is Thalia, daughter of Zeus, and Annie— Annabeth.”
    “Yeah.” Thalia muttered, retracting her shield. “Thanks.” She brushed off her pants. “So, who’s your godly parent?”
    Nico grimaced. Time for some creative obfuscation. “Um, I don’t know.” He shook his head. “My father left when I was really little. Mother would never talk about him. I don’t…” He paused, looked away. “I don’t remember much of my childhood…”
    “You’re a runaway, then.” Luke said.
    He’s not wrong. It just wasn’t his family he was running away from.
    It was his past.

    -

    Basically, I wanted a BAMF Nico di Angelo time travel with actual real meaningful changes to the timeline and major ripple effects! Self-indulgent for sure, since I want to redeem all my favourite characters! What if Nico went back in time to the lotus casino, and snuck out just a bit earlier?

    Summary

    Thanos is dead. The world is saved, time is put to rights, and Earth has a team of capable defenders to, in theory, keep the planet safe from any further threats.

    Fury thinks that his newly formed team might just drive him to an early retirement, if they don't give him a heart attack first.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “Scientific curiosity,” Loki said. Fury gave him a significant look and he fell silent once more.

    “I said no,” Wong continued. “Serious sorcery is not to be done for entertainment. The power we wield must be used only in the service of a greater purpose.”

    “Which is when you decided to go after the Hydra element embedded within SHIELD, on your own, without telling anyone first what you would be doing,” Fury guessed.

    “It needed to be done,” Loki said. “Someone would've gotten to it eventually, or at least they should have.”

    “You,” Fury reminded, “are staying quiet. I don't want to hear it.”

    “The plan was simple.” Wong crossed his arms. “Loki would approach a member of SHIELD and greet them, and then whisper ‘Hail Hydra’ in their ear. If they are Hydra, Loki looks untrustworthy enough that they believe him and say it back, and I drop them into the infinite void. If they are not Hydra, they mostly try to punch him in the face. Fortunately, his face is very sturdy. Sturdier than their hands. Anyone with broken knuckles can probably be trusted.”

    Loki had the decency to wince at that, at least.

    “I see,” Fury said.

    “It was a solid plan,” Wong insisted.

    “Mmm. And did you really have to give Captain America this Hydra test?”

    Summary

    Parenting is Bruce's thing, and Jason isn't planning on messing with that. But when Bruce fails to spot the countless red flags about Tim's home life, it falls to Jason to step up. Of course it does. Because he's literally the only one in his family who knows how to be responsible, and if Dick disagrees, he can suck it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Tim, now that he’s been released, straightens up, lips set in a determined line. Oh, no. Jason has seen that kind of determination before. It never bodes well.

    “Wait,” he says, but Tim is already speaking.

    “I was on my class trip,” he says, “in Metropolis, but then Jason called because he needed help with a case. I told him that I’m busy and he should ask someone else, but it turns out Jason lost the lab samples I helped him take recently for the drug shipping case, and I asked how he lost them but he wouldn’t tell me so I think he just dropped them to the ground because he’s always so clumsy, and I asked if this could wait and he insisted that I had to come right now, and when I said I’d be there tomorrow he threatened to break my legs again.” Tim’s eyes are shining suspiciously, and, yep, there they are, the two drops of tears that well up and slide down his cheeks, perfectly synchronised.

    “Tim,” Dick repeats, gutted. “Jason, I can’t believe you!”

    “I,” Jason says pleasantly, “am going to murder you, Replacement.”

    Tim cringes back and goes to hide behind Dick. “Dick, are you hearing this? And that’s after I helped him, too!”

    “Jason, be nice,” Dick scolds. “I think you should go out and get all of us new pizzas, since you messed up the last order-“

    “I got held for ransom!”

    “- while Tim and I stay here and pick a movie.”

    Tim wipes his eyes and sniffles pathetically. “Okay,” he whispers. “We can do that.”

    He follows Dick to the sofa. As soon as Dick is occupied with the remote, Tim turns around to smirk at Jason. Jason leaves, fuming.

    Tim wants to throw him under the bus? Fine. Jason is going to make them regret that. He’ll -

    What, leave him on the highway to hitchhike his way home? Says a voice in his head that sounds suspiciously like Dick.

    Ugh. Jason can’t believe Tim’s dad is turning out to be shittier by the minute. This way he can’t even hate Tim in peace. Life truly is hell.
