betrayal

Could the universe be kind enough, so that Tommy could get a damn break from the mess that is his life? Please? Just for one day. --- Okay, so maybe coming to the interview with a few broken ribs was a bad idea, but what choice did he have? Just not come and keep on being unemployed? Several bad things could happen during his interview, given the circumstances. There was an AI in the building designed by Vulcan which not only kept unwanted people from getting in, it scanned people for any unauthorized weapons or injuries. There was also the problem with his illegal documents since he wasn't an actual adult. But the biggest risk is that the job is at a hero organization. And he's a vigilante. Which are highly illegal. --- or, yet another vigilante tommy au... except this time, there is at least one brain cell (you can figure out who has it)

What if Loki was able to warn his past self, so he did not lose control during his regency and was able to act as he normally would? What if he had been able to remain calm and in control of himself, and the situation? "How?" Loki demanded. "Betrayal," his future self stated simply, rage clear in every syllable. "But you must control your reaction and come to see me, or you will repeat my mistakes and we will miss an opportunity to take control and alter things in our favor." It would have changed everything.

From the ashes of the Regime a New Olympus will rise. With Batman the Merciless leading it.

Gordon handed him a case file; he opened it. Underneath the beige cover was a face more than familiar to him. He kept his poker face, lips still. “Bruce Wayne. I take it you know who he is?” “From the papers, yes.” Feigning ignorance, even though he knew the answer by heart. “He’s missing. ” The Batcave had its own little prison Dick had built for his mentor: bulletproof glass from all sides, all digitally locked chains on Bruce’s limbs. It wasn’t the easiest task to take over Bruce’s life. To navigate the mystery that Bruce had made of the man he’d been, Dick had to give up his life as Nightwing permanently, even convincing his friends and former teammates of his fabricated death story. It was worth it, for this.

The Lord of Light willed it so that Stannis Baratheon may never have a male heir. But in two marriages -- one to his beloved from House Vaeleris, and another to a religious zealot of House Florent -- two daughters were born. Unlike a son, they would never be able to rule Dragonstone in the way the laws of men dictate. His eldest, Rhaena Baratheon, would need to marry and Stannis determined there were no men more honourable than those of House Stark.

Both hungered for freedom, revenge, power, and unexpectedly, love. But when she rejected her father, Bhaal, and aided Astarion's ascension, his offer of eternity was met with her firm refusal; she refused to be bound to another master.
