    Summary

    The rain had stopped only hours ago, leaving the earth heavy and damp. When the last shovelful of dirt fell over Jigoro Kuwajima’s still, broken body, Zenitsu pressed his forehead to the mound and wept silently.

    His first kill… was the man who had raised him. The man who had shouted at him, struck him when he needed it, believed in him when no one else did. And in the end, that same man had entrusted Zenitsu with the most devastating duty: the act of ending his life.

    ----------------

    Three years before Tanjiro ever meets him, Zenitsu’s world is shattered by Kaigaku’s early defection and Jigoro’s seppuku. Tasked with being his master’s kaishakunin, Zenitsu loses the only home he has ever known—until Kagaya-sama brings him to the Ubuyashiki estate.

    There, as a gardener among the kakushi and Ubuyashiki children, Zenitsu’s life begins to change in ways he never expected.

    Summary

    The last thing Giyū saw was the horrible creature known as Muzan crawling away to another part of their quickly crumbling world, taking the hashira who could still fight with him, and the bodies of those who no longer couldn't, behind him. Giyū was the latter, trying to stand up even through the sea of blood at his feet. He was dying.

    Why was this happening? Wasn't the slayer mark supposed to boost his survival?

    Turns out, it did. Maybe a little too well.

    Fate had once again chosen the wrong person to save, Giyū thought, back in his thirteen year old body, staring at his dead childhood friend right in the face. Tanjiro would have been so much better at time travel.

    Summary

    There’s a magician living in an abandoned warehouse down on the Tricorner Docks.

    Park Row has its fair share of strange tales and rumors floating through the cracks. The kids of the alley talk at length, telling ghost stories and cautionary tales. Passing advice on how to survive from one night to the next in the form of fun little parables that make the cold nights feel a little bit warmer, and maybe let them pretend that their lives are all a fun little game, just for a few moments.

    The magician, at first, feels like a fable. Something that a kid saw and read just a little bit wrong and didn’t wait around to find out what was really going on. The kid who spotted the magician – a 9 year old red-head with green eyes and a smattering of freckles across his pale face – tells the tale like a myth.

    A magician with golden hair and golden eyes, who clapped his hands together and rebuilt a car from scraps with a flash of light. Taking nothing in payment but a bottle of whiskey and a home-cooked meal.

    (Or: The one where Edward Elric ends up in Gotham, decides Jason Todd is his, and makes it Bruce Wayne's problem.)

    Summary

    There was something strange about this world. Something in the air. Ed wasn't quite sure what it was, but he was going to get to the bottom of this.

    When Edward Elric travels through the portal after defeating Father, Truth refuses to accept Ed's alchemy in exchange for Alphonse. He is faced with three choices, none appealing. Either return empty-handed, sacrifice his own life for Alphonse's, or do a favor for Truth. He picks option three, and finds himself waking up on a trash-covered beach in a strange world, one where every man, woman, and child have some strange power. In order to get home, he must accomplish whatever it is that Truth wants from him, and unfortunately, the being is not exactly inclined to provide thorough explanations.

    Summary

    "What do you mean Grayson is gone?" Damian pressed.

    "He just, vanished. Okay?" Her voice broke. "The camera outside the warehouse he entered caught the flash of light that lit up Gotham's skies and caused the power outage." Bab's voice grew thicker, "His tracker went offline. Dick pressed his emergency beacon seven minutes and forty two seconds before then."

    "And we just ignored it..." Tim finished off, his words like a punch to the gut.


    Dick placed the shiny, pristine bird-like mask on his desk near a small stack of paperwork and took off the hood. Rubbing his eyes, he peered into the mirror: hair dull and crisp from dried sweat, a light pink dusted his cheeks - it had to have been more prominent thirty minutes before, and the pale hooded cape that had gotten dirtied while teaching trainees. Dick frowned, picking at the coven sigil broach sewn into the front of his uniform.

    He will bide his time here, just until he can go home.

    (This fic is roughly inspired by the song "Who Are You Really" by Mikky Ekko)
