    After getting lost in Ghost City, Xie Lian bargains away years of servitude to the Gambler’s Den to help a man in need. He dons the robes of a worker and hides his face and life behind an enchanted mask, protecting himself from the city's denizens. Xie Lian finds an unexpected home in Ghost City before he ever sees the lord of it, the infamous Hua Cheng. When he finally does, something about himself seems to catch the attention of the Ghost King, slowly striking up an unusual friendship.

    Summary

    Xie Lian is having a pretty okay second banishment. He’s been hiding in the woods for who knows how long because something in him broke and now he kills any living creature he touches but he’s fine, it’s fine!
    Or at least it will be once Hua Cheng, who’s been searching for centuries, finally gets to give his god everything he dreamed of offering. Good thing ghosts aren’t living creatures!

    Summary

    Peter is fine, anyways. His boss might fire him soon, the Avengers might arrest him soon, the principal might expel him soon, but none of it has happened yet. And his dad—
    “You didn’t get my coffee,” his dad says, halfway through his burrito. He has been in a state of low, simmering irritation all evening, and apparently this is how long it took for him to find a reason to blame Peter for it.
    “You didn’t tell me to get coffee.”
    “Do you have eyes?”
    “Yes,” Peter says. “I have eyes.”
    “So you could have checked if we needed coffee without me telling you every little thing, Jesus Christ.”
    -
    Peter just wants to make it to sixteen so he can escape this life and strike out on his own. He has a plan and nothing will ruin it.
    Not even Tony Stark quite literally crashing into his life.

    Summary

    Tim wakes up inexplicably in his two-year-old body. Which: odd. But just think, how many people would kill to have an opportunity to redo their life! And Tim has so much he wants to change, so much he wants. He wants to feel important to Bruce. He wants to be Dick's favorite. He wants Jason (his childhood hero) to think he's cool. He wants Damian to need him. And really, is it manipulation if his family benefits from it?

    Or: He was halfway through the second trash can, when a startled “Good lord” caught him off guard. Tim glanced up, the rhythmic sucking of his pacifier coming to a still at the sight of a black Rolls Royce idling at the side road that lead to Wayne Manor. Alfred was staring at him from the over the car top, aghast. “Master Bruce, it’s not a raccoon.”

    From the back seat, Bruce Wayne stared at him. Tim stared back.

    Or: Tim is side tracked by his actual childish needs and wants, gets a whole bunch of his nannies fired, terrorizes his parents with a series of petty revenges, is an honest employer of one (1) newly minted murderer for hire, endears himself to – and thoroughly weirds out – the Waynes, and is generally just a petty, manipulative, vindictive, smol boy.

    Remus snorts.

    “You never know. A lot can happen to a guy in seven years.”

    A lot can happen to an already plain werewolf in seven years. He can acquire more scars, develop grey streaks, wrinkle prematurely. But to the classically gorgeous force of nature that is Sirius Black? “He was in America, not Azkaban. And even then…”

    ***

    In which everyone parted ways after the war, but a troubling discovery brings them back together.
