    Summary

    Zanka falls where time shouldn’t exist.

    An alley of rot. A body gone cold.
    A child with wine-colored eyes that haven’t learned how to hurt properly yet.

    He knows what that child will become.

    He’s held the aftermath.
    Faced the noise.
    Felt the damage.

    But this—

    This is before all of it.

    And when the boy clings to him, crying like the world already ended, Zanka realizes something he was never meant to:

    Some things aren’t born broken.

    They’re made.

    And he’s standing at the beginning.

    Summary

    Time is a mental process, distinguishable and avoidable only by the mind itself. The concept of time was one of the most curious things; sometimes it seemed to stop, other times it seemed to move too fast, but Jabber personally saw it as sand between his fingers. Slipping away. Unable to hold more than a few grains of what should've been a great pile.

    or, Jabber joins the cleaners thanks to the new voices in his head (memories of the future) that keep begging him to find his favorite sadist.

    Summary

    It's raining. Because every story just has to begin in the rain.

    It's not quite the welcome home you're hoping for, but you suppose it's a bit of a given since you've been putting it off for four years straight. It's just too bad you won't get to enjoy all that awkward tension when all your plans are thrown off the deep end.

    At least falling down a hole and into a trash heap makes for a good excuse! And hey, you even get to make some friends—maybe even something more.

    Summary

    When Ra's al Ghul pushed Tim Drake out of a window after he foiled his plots again, he did something and the vigilante disappeared. Six months later, and through a completely unrelated summoning to an alternate dimension's Sun God, Tim reappeared both five years older and part of the crew of the King of Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy.

    Now stuck in his home dimension for a month until they can be sent back home, due to bullshit magic reasons, Tim has to face the Batfamily that he had left behind, reckon with a couple of old ghosts, and deal with Bruce Wayne's ever-increasing paranoia in the wake of his disappearance. Luckily, Tim is older, theoretically wiser, and knows that his crew has his back.

    (And, in flashbacks, Tim grows into the pirate he is today: the Shadow of the King.)

    Summary

    My first memory was of heaviness, of tension crackling through the air. I saw the sky crack into pieces, spilling thunder that unfurled in splendid strands across the earth.

    I saw that searing fire burn through the world while god-men laughed, intoxicated by the struggle, emboldened by the power they possess, false gods getting torn from their high perches, joining the ground in a dripping crescendo.

    I smelt the smoke of burning flesh, the crackling skin cooking in the heat, the repulsive musk of human waste in the ever raging wind.

    I heard screams tear through the air like a never ending symphony. The incessant shouts and screams of a foreign tongue, which despair rings true and undoubted.

    The clink of chains piercing through the chaos like birdsong, and a never ending rumble to the earth, as if the island was tearing apart at the seams, as if the world was about to break apart like an eggshell: the mother of all things beginning to resculpt the world from the bottom up.

    I was in the valley of gods; hell was empty, and all the devils were here.

    — Valley of Gods: Origins of the Resistance, Saint Yuily Jaygarcia [A.D. 1502]
