Summary
Dick Grayson wasn’t meant to be the last one left. He wasn’t meant to stand in the ashes of a world that had been picked clean, with nothing but ghosts and regrets to keep him company. But he fought until there was nothing left to fight for—until even Gotham’s ruins turned silent.
Then, when all hope was gone, a desperate sorcerer offered him the impossible: a second chance. A way back. A chance to rewrite the past before The Light won, before his family fell, before his world crumbled to dust.
Now, he wakes up in his thirteen-year-old body, the weight of an entire lost future pressing down on his shoulders. The halls of Mount Justice are untouched, filled with laughter and life—but all he can see are the names that will one day be carved into headstones. Every choice is a loaded gun. Every secret is a ticking clock. And the people he loves most? They have no idea what’s coming for them.
He won’t let it happen again.
No matter what it takes.

Summary
'“You hated it.” Well, shit.
“I wouldn’t go that far. I cried through that ending, too. And I thought you made us all seem like sweet, upstanding, well-adjusted people, who have most certainly never been thrown into a Tevinter prison.” She said with a hint of a knowing smile on her face.
“But…”
“Well, I just thought… And, I mean, I wasn’t thinking this was gonna be completely truthful about everything, but there was one plotline in particular that seemed very…” She trailed off, willing him to just understand what she was saying.
“Now Rook, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” But his trademark smirk and the mischievous look in his eyes said otherwise.
“Varric, you [Spoiler for Dragon Age: The Veilguard]”
The glint in his eyes and his shit-eating grin both grew tenfold. “Come on, you have to admit, you didn’t see that one coming.”
Or, Rook has just finished reading the first draft of “The Book of the Red Rook,” and her biographer has certainly taken some… interesting creative liberties. Rook isn't sure how she feels about the new additions to her story, and the biographer's wife really should've been given some sort of advance warning for the sake of her mental health.

Summary
“What am I going to do with your name?” Max asks, a little incredulous.
“Whatever you want,” the salesman says. “Didn’t you want something real?”
Max heard a story once about the importance of answering questions like that carefully. If something emerges from the forest and asks for your name, don’t give it up, the story went. Offer only what you know you can live without. She’s never heard a story that tells her what to do when something emerges from the forest and offers its name to you.

Summary
She doesn’t know what she was expecting when the Champion of the Hells showed up in her dreams, but it’s certainly not this. No brimstone, no gloating, no welcome to the dark side monologue. It’s—a little disappointing, if she’s being honest.
While the Crown Keepers are on their quest to bring Ted back to the material plane, Opal meets another Champion of the Betrayers. They're nothing alike.

Summary
Roommates Trisha, Neel, and Brandy each have their own reasons to abandon the big city for the farm Trisha inherited from her grandfather. The valley seems like the answer to their prayers, but beneath the idyllic surface lie dangerous secrets.
Trisha loved her job as an analyst for Joja—until it began damaging her health. Farming looks like the perfect response to her doctor's prescription for more time outdoors. An eccentric writer adopts her as his muse, but is there more to his interest? And her life is weird enough without the local "wizard" claiming she is one, too.
Neel, reeling over his brother's death in the war, trades the mind-numbing routine of his old job for the physical exhaustion of farm work. A local programmer might be able to help him uncover the local JojaMart's shady secrets, if he can get past the other man's hostility.
Brandy is an adrenaline junkie, but when a stunt calls too much attention to her, she needs to lie low for a while. She expects to be bored out of her mind in quiet Pelican Town, but that was before she meets a kindred spirit obsessed with the mysterious, monster-infested mines.
Parts 1 and 2 are complete.

Summary
There are no grand battles that mark senior year at Aguefort Adventuring Academy. There's no dragon or Nightmare King or Night Yorb, just homework and concerts and sleepovers and one lingering question that refuses to leave Riz Gukgak's mind.
It's kind of funny- for an investigator, Riz has always been kind of terrible at figuring out exactly what Fabian means to him.

Summary
It is becoming easier, almost, to adjust to the new way of life. He has switched to using his left hand to cast the spell, and the effects are creeping further and further up his left arm with each passing day, even if they vanish by the next morning.
But that is an understandable price to pay. A reasonable price, if it keeps everyone else safe. It doesn’t matter, really, if he has started to find more and more lacerations from stray waves of shadow each morning as he lies in his untouched bed. It doesn’t matter that the pupils of his eyes, when he gazes into the reflective glass of the captain’s desk, are starting to disappear entirely. Nor that he will sometimes start at the faint feeling of fingers threading around his neck, tracing the line of his cheek.
“Praesidio. Praesidio, fortier defendebant, defendebant splendide...”
The Rocks family is safe. Any price is worth that.
***
Lapin Cadbury returns to the living during a storm at sea. The Sugar Plum Fairy has her own twisted web of manipulation to spin, with him at the very center.
Written for the Dimension 20 Big Bang 2020!

Summary
Anger is burning in Lapin’s chest. It is bitter, and it is bloody, and it shines brighter than any Bulb the church might care to invent.
Normally, he leaves his emotions be. He cannot afford to let feelings drive him forwards. Remaining logical is the only safe way to play the game of politics - and if you do not play it safe, you die. And if you die, then what was the point?
But nothing about their predicament is normal. So, fuck playing the game safely. Fuck that.
The world will not play safe with the lives of those he loves.
***
In which Belizabeth Brassica is looking for a heretic, and Lapin confesses to his apostasy to protect the House of Rocks.

The Lapin character study/tribute that always sends me fully wild, especially given that it was written before episode 6 aired????

Summary
Lapin has not found much- any- amusement in his long years of deception, too busy quite literally lying for his life to derive much fun from it, but in the second before he casts the spell, seeing horror wash into the eyes of every Bulbian in the room, Lapin feels a vicious smile overtake his face.
He allows it because no doubt to them, it adds to the image of a mad heretic on his unholy course. Mostly, though, he’s thinking about how all the pieces must be falling into the places he has carved for them in Belizabeth’s mind.(Zac said if the church fight had never happened, Lapin was going to make a speech about being the villain and thunderstep out with Liam. Here's a universe where he does so.)
