Summary
A year ago, Hood had stood over him with a weapon and carved into his skin and broken his bones. Now Jason was doing the same, without the excuse of the Pit poisoning his mind. Just Tim’s brother, shattering the trust they’d begun to build.
“I don’t want to do this,” Jason whispered. “Please, believe me, I don’t want to.”
“I know.”
Jason drew the knife downward.

Red Hood's second-in-command gives him an ultimatum: torture and kill a captured Robin, or an innocent civilian. Robin is disturbingly self-sacrificial.

Trapped in Harrow's mind, Gideon can still feel everything that happens to her. A short meditation on how much necromancy hurts.

I never realized before this— that pinched face you make all the time? I thought it was just annoyance, you looking at me like I was something disgusting you stepped in. It was pain. You make that face because you’re in pain all the time. -

Summary
When one suitor pleaded for mercy, when he asked for open arms, Odysseus thought of Polites.
Polites would have spared the man, of course. Polites would have found a way to avoid bloodshed.
Polites would not have survived Odysseus's journey home, even if he hadn't been killed in the cyclops's cave.

"I talked with your son,” Athena said. “He reminds me of you when we first met."
She realized once she’d said it who the boy really reminded her of— Polites.

Odysseus, Telemachus, and Athena all grapple with the amount of blood Odysseus has spilled. Telemachus has never known him, and Odysseus is no longer the man Athena knew. -

Summary
Are you a good man?
- I do my best. The bad things I've done are only to protect those I care for.
- There is no such thing as a good man in war.
- The gods have forced my hand. If only that absolved me from the guilt I feel.
- I may be a monster. But if that is what it takes to get me home...

I made a uQuiz in the style of a choose-your-own-adventure story. You're Odysseus, trying to get home to your wife and son in Ithaca with your crew of 600 men. Each choice gives you points towards "Ruthlessness" or "Open Arms."

I recommend taking the quiz before reading this fic! This is the "behind the scenes" of which choices go with which outcome. -

For AI-less Whumptober day 4: painful transformation, non-consensual body modifications, “you’re a monster”
-
When Nimona first noticed the itch of haven’t-transformed-in-a-while, she had other things to worry about. The scientists were trying to extract another tube of blood from her, and she hated the feeling of a needle beneath her skin. [...]
“It hurts to not shift,” she told the psychiatrist, who had become less and less patient.
“Perhaps it is your body reverting to its untainted state. Think of how a fever rises to burn out the infection.”
“It’s not an infection, though! It’s part of me. It’s who I am,” she pleaded.
“If that is the case, who you are is a monster.”

The Tale of the Witch of the West and her Prince, by Dorothy L. Gale
The records during the Wizard’s corrupt reign, some 80 years ago, are scarce and poorly preserved - just one more thing that the Wizard took from the people of Oz. Dorothy Gale and other historians take it upon themselves to unravel hidden secrets as everything people think they know about the story of Elphaba Thropp and Fiyero Tigelaar needs to be re-examined in order to discover the truth

Summary
A collection of au Griddlehark ficlets of varying lengths, each based around the most wretched pun I could think of for the name Harrowhark. Will update daily until day 999 of the Alectopause, or until I run out of puns, or until trained snipers take me out. More specific warnings on each chapter, since these vary wildly in tone.
Current featuring: Harrowhawk, the one where Harrow gets stuck in the form of a red-tailed hawk. An Animorphs AU.

Summary
“Hey,” says the kid. He’s painted in green, yellow, red, and he’s wiggling back and forth in his seat.
“Hey,” Jason says without turning around. “I made french toast. You like french toast?”
The half-smile turns into a wide grin. “Fuckin’ duh.”
Because of course he does. Because Jason has always liked french toast.

Summary
Polites meets his soulmate in rocky Ithaca.
He is a boy a year his junior, with messy brown hair and lively grey eyes, and he is the prince of this island and the ones around it. He slinks through the quietest corners of the marketplace and taps Polites’ shoulder with a silver-ringed finger, breaking his focus on the merchant his uncle is talking to.
"Do you want to see something cool?”
Or: The Polites backstory we never got, from his early years to his early death. A story about the moments that make a person.
