❝ i know, you never intended to be in this world. but you're in it all the same. ❞ Inanna, for Memora.

A sigh left the god as he looked around this light corrupted world. It was his fault, at least in part. If he had not been struck comatose by Venat then this shard would not be like this. It made him sick to know it and yet there was nothing that could be done about now. He felt the tug of the bond and tilted his head. So this was the current source shard if his beloved. Of course it would be her to find him.

“ I have always chosen to be in the world, though if I had my way it would not be hanging on a knifes edge.” He stated. The gid felt tired despite being asleep for so long. As if he had gotten no rest from the long slumber. “ But, at least there is someone here to teach me about what the world has become.

[antennatoheaven]

ignored the content warnings on a fic regarding bug gore (probably as gross as it sounds) because i thought i could handle it but i just saw a bug crawl across my matress and i now live in fear

[marzfartz]

I cannot begin to explain how many times I've reread this fic already, if you haven't already I highly recommend reading @astereaes's Better Halves (and other such falsehoods)

[starz-n-stuff]

The wonderfully dramatic kiss in the rain from chapter 19 of @astereaes’s Better Halves (and other such falsehoods)

Highly recommend this fic, I’ve re-read it countless times despite questionable service on islands and at Uni and! Updates every other week which is huge highlight!!

Tim Drake/ Danny Fenton Masterlist

Completed

Mesmeric Revelation by DisillusionedDanny :

Danny couldn’t stop the future. That much was true. Despite not cheating on his CAT and doing every single thing by the book to make sure that this future was not a reality, it had happened anyway. The nasty burger had blown up. His parents, Jazz, Sam, Tucker, they were all in the building when it happened.With his friends and family dead, Danny goes to the only place he thinks is safe. The infinite realms.As Danny attempts to move on from the tragedy he manages to get summoned by cultists, build a new family for himself and even find love. Not all in that exact order.Tim Drake thought getting kidnapped by cultists was probably the most annoying thing to have ever happened to him. Little did he know it would also be the best thing to ever happen. Word Count: 71,980 Complete Its very heartwarming with a dark tone in the beginning. I enjoy reading this as a comfort fanfic.

Shovel Talk by SummersSixEcho :

When Tim decided to tag along on a road trip with Danny to meet his parents, he was kinda ready for the shovel talk with his friends and family. But bringing out the secrets buried in Amity Park? That’s another kind of shovel talk Danny hadn’t prepared him for. Word Count: 71,396 Complete

Bitter, had the Heart by CastrianAmore :

Tim is the only one consistently watching. Thus he’s the first and only one to notice one more body following the streets like the bats do. A kid with all black hair and white motifs and an attitude problem that reminds him a tad too much of Jason. It was a shame Jason was adamant that he “didn’t know anything”, what a liar right?But the streets of Gotham listened and the name on everyone’s lips playing like a discordant harmony was one word: Distortion. Not that Tim knew what it meant yet, but Danny would make sure he would. If Danny lived long enough for Tim to find out. Word Count: 182,548 Complete

Tim Jr. Coffee Machine Extraordinaire by PaperPuffin :

Dick worried his lip between his teeth as he looked Tim over. His little brother was standing, zombie-like, in front of the Cave’s coffee machine. Not that the act was unusual for Tim. Just… the thing was, Tim had been doing better. Word Count: 2,330 Complete

Wanted: Dead and Alive by Astereae :

“Hey, I do I... Do I know you?” Danny asks, a hand coming up to brush something off Tim’s cheek. “No,” Tim says. “We haven’t met.” “Oh, no, I do.” Danny says, and he smiles, teeth white and sharp. “You’re that guy who rearranged my guts!” Rearranged his- Tim glances at the knotted scars on the boy’s abdomen. He can see the shine and shadow of haphazard stitches that weren’t meant to hold forever, that tore and healed over. His- This- “WHAT!?” Nightwing shouts, equal parts confused and delighted. Tim’s fucked. OR Danny Fenton's been in GIW captivity for 4 months. Tim Drake gets kidnapped by the GIW one Tuesday evening in May. Considering how many of the Bats and the Birds have died and come back to life, it was only a matter of time for some people interested in the afterlife to come poking around. The detectives can't seem to uncover any information about the mysterious white vans, however. And they keep losing the mysterious boy who seems to be the one person in Gotham to know anything at all. Word Count: 121,281 Completed

On-going

Family introductions by Half-dead Ham(Grima101) :

Danny and Tim have been dating for about a year now, figuring out their relationship between Tim’s vigilante duties and Danny’s Ghost King responsibilities. Danny is taking a small (unauthorized) break from his paperwork to find his bf flat on his ass sick trying to go on patrol. The only way to stop him was to take his place, and Danny was lucky they're the same size.

Word Count: 14,070 On-going

An Interesting Family Tree by Scififan33 :

Danny's life in Amity Park wasn't perfect, but it beat his old life. The GIW and Fenton parents didn't make things easier but at least ghost attacks had lessened since he was named Prince, to be crowned upon his twenty first birthday.He'd run from the League almost a decade ago, risking getting their attention, and for a stranger? It was insane. And yet he still got on the plane to Europe to find and warn one Tim Drake that he was being targeted. Word Count: 68,348 On-going This is one of favorite fanfics, I love the interactions of Danny and Tim throughout the story. I also love how the author writes two story lines together. I love both Fandoms and to read a story were they work well together is always a treat!

Tim Drake's I.E.F (Invisible Eldritch Friend) by Half-dead Ham :

The last thing Tim expected while getting stalked was to get used to the unseen creature and how they started taking care of him. He expected even less for them to be the same age

Word Count: 72,042 On-going

I find it hilarious that the bat stalker gets stalked and they some how make it into a funny Rom-com.

Till Death and Beyond by Scififan33 :

Danny and Tim have known each other for a year, have been dating for months, and are very happy. Sure, Tim would prefer if his boyfriend let him help him at least get a nicer apartment, or even an internship at WE but Danny won't let him. Dating Tim is not keeping his head down but as far as everyone knows, Danny Fenton died with his parents and sister. Danny Nightingale has no links to him, thanks to Tucker and Technus' magic.But there are still those who would love nothing more than to get their hands on Phantom, despite his not having been seen in a long time.And why is there a vigilante bleeding out on his apartment floor? Word Count: 79,279 On-going I love the fic for the fact that we talk about how the bat-fam treats Tim. Like he is such a sweetheart and he is not treated they way he should be. Like don't get me wrong I love the fics were Damion and Tim get along and fix their relationship but the way they interact this would not have occurred and to see this in this fanfic and Tim recognizing that its not okay was amazing. I also love that Danny doesn't take any shit from the bat-fam, hes likes fuck with Tim and see what happens. Defiantly one of my top 5!

The Rebirth of Tim Drake by Bewitched_Forest :

Tim gets turned into a halfa after an incident with a newly spawned Lazarus Pit, electricity, and Ra's Al Ghul. When he awakens, he finds himself in the Ghost Zone. Taken to fellow Halfa, Danny Fenton, he travels to Amity Park where he learns with the help of Danny and his friends just what he has become. And how being a Halfa has made him one of the most hunted beings in the world.

Not Abandoned! Updating will just be whenever I feel like it cause I got burnout.

Word Count: 57,663 On-going

My Name is Not Wounder Boy! by CrepuscularCryptid :

Casper High's juniors go on a trip to Washington DC every year. This year it's Danny's class's turn. Absolutely nothing goes wrong. Nothing. Shut up, Tucker. ************* Wherein Danny meets Wonder Woman, fosters diplomacy between the Living and the Dead Realms, and eventually gets a new haunt. Word Count: 44,832 On-going

The Price Of Peace by JoyLess_Nightsk :

The Juistria League - the alliance of the major countries of the continent Juisitria - has long since stood for peace. Unfortunately there is one country that is a thorn in their side whenever they try to solidify that peace: The Infinite Lands, a country of barbarians to the north where the only reason they survive is the magic in the air. Where the magic is so strong that even children develop a talent, which they themselves call "the blessings of the dragons". The country that, last time the Juistria League had tried to negotiate, had waged a war more brutal then anything seen before on them, for over a decade - right until the moment a rebellion caged him. Not long ago, his murderer took the title. And now, that very same newly crowned High Chief demands negotiations of them. Bruce would rather die, would rather see Gotham and all of Juistria in flames than to allow that man to take one of his children. Tim, however, makes another decision before he could say that. Now, everyone has to hope Phantom will be happy with the boy… Meanwhile Danny is just too stunned that they actually agreed to that to do anything about the sudden engagement. Word Count: 50,397 On-going I usually am not a fan of fics like this but I kinda love this but just the fact that their are so many miscommunications between the Gotham and Infinite Lands. It definitely a great start and I cant wait ti read more!

Rated M

A Grave Affair by OnlyHereForTheSnacks :

Tim was used to life taking unexpected turns. It was just another part of being a vigilante. Sometimes life gives you lemons and sometimes an immortal assassin sells you into an arranged marriage to the Ghost King for a piece of jewelry. (Lots of plot. Smut in Ch.3. Mind the tags) Word Count: 14,744 Complete

Seeing Double by Wraiith(Jayyydez) :

"You remember that conversation we had about me being able to duplicate?" Tim's brow furrowed even more. Which conversation-? His mouth dried all at once, his heart threatening to burst out of his chest. Oh. Oh, Ancients and Gods alike, help him. Danny was having this conversation with him. He was having it with him right now, and Tim felt more awake than he had in days. Word Count: 7,752 Complete

Skin of Your Teeth by halfgone(milkywxy) :

Tim can't bring himself to lie about his secret identity anymore. When he spills his secret to his boyfriend, Danny, many more secrets are soon to follow. Some with interesting results. Prompts: Tim Drake |Eldritch Danny| Teeth Word Count: 7,065 On-going

[kissedbyaphrodite]

"Se zaldrītsos sōvegon toliot se sambar" He hummed.

"Wonderful baby!" Lucerys clapped as he smiled down at his son "Now, this is the last one, then we're over for today." He cleared his throat "The flower blooms under the sun" Lucerys read.

"Se rūklon" Aenon spoke slowly, frowning in a way similar to that of his father, with his lips pouting, his eyebrows scrunching as he focused on his words "sīmonagon gō se vēzos"

Lucerys smiled kindly, closing the book and laying it back on his lap.

"You got four out of five phrases correctly" Lucerys spoke with joy "Sīmonagon means to grow in size, so it would be used when the flower grows taller, like when a rose bush grows in size. To say bloom it would be ūbriljagon. But you did so well! At this pace you will be speaking our mother tongue fluently by the end of the year, perhaps even earlier"

Despite the praise, it was clear it wasn't good enough, for Aenon sighed in defeat as he fidgeted with his fingers, reminding Lucerys not only of himself, but of his mother as well. Leaning down, Lucerys took a hold of the young six year old boy in front of him, sitting him on his lap as Aenon buried his face into Lucerys's neck, his curls melding with those in Lucerys' head, if it wasn't for his son's silver locks, one wouldn't be able to tell where Lucerys' curls started and where Aenon's ended. Aemon was different from his older sisters in many ways, where his sisters were loud and adventurous, Aenon was quieter, spending more time in the garden of Driftmark than flying over the sea or exploring the waters. His older sisters were tall and proud, but Aenon always hid behind shadows, making hinself smaller than they ever were. Even their dragons were different, his sisters' dragons never stood still, flying and hunting all the time, exploring the clouds, diving into the waves and hunting fishes, Aurora was always lurking near Aenon, his long body draped like a shawl around Aenon's shoulders, or coiling around Aenon's waist like a belt. Where Lucerys' eldest daughters had dragons with dark and striking colors, Aurora was pale and light, a pearlescent light pink dragon with lavender wings and chest, reminiscent of the morning sky. His body was completely elongated, just like Caraxes' body, a complete contrast to his fellow dragon siblings, who were bulkier and bigger. Even when

"It's alright my rūklītsos" Lucerys hummed, softly caressing Aenon's hair "Our mother tongue is not easy to learn" He felt Aurora make his way into the hug, squeezing through a small gap between the two and snuggling into Aenon's chest.

"Narra can already speak it perfectly" Aenon argued.

"Narra is two years older than you" Lucerys pointed out "Aenon, your sisters all struggled just like you when they were your age, Maerea struggled with words that had similar meanings, much like you. Asterea struggled to write in our tongue, Sereia struggled to pronounce certain words and Narra would not use connectors. Even your kepa struggled with the language, it doesn't come easy to everyone"

"It did for you" Aenon grumbled

"I spent most of my time with people who wouldn't speak another tongue or couldn't speak it" Lucerys explained "My grandsire took me to many voyages, and I would be introduced to people who could only speak our mother tongue, I had to learn by myself, and I learned through trial and error." He made Aenon sit up straight, his lilac eyes meeting Lucerys' brown ones "I cannot tell you the amount of mistakes I made, I tried to tell a lady I thought her garden was pretty and ended up saying I would pee in her garden" Aenon smiled softly at that. "My grandsire had to fix a lot of mistakes I made, rūklītsos." He tucked a curl behind Aenon's ear "But from mistakes you learn, every word mispronounced, every translation mixed up, is one more step towards learning and succeeding."

Aenon nodded, Aurora snuggling into the crook of his neck, eliciting a fit of giggles from the young boy. The sound of two dragons roaring pulled away the focus of mother and son as they turned to the window. A dark green dragon flew over Driftmark, his wings and crest a near red orange color, similar to the color of the flames in a chimney. Behind him, a smaller dragon, his body a bronze gold color as black markings covered his entire body, in a way similar to that of a tiger. Aenon perked up at the sight of the dragons, wiggling his way out of Lucerys' lap as Aurora chirped happily, flying above his future rider as Aenon ran towards the door, politely bowing to the guards as they opened the door for him, for the boy was too small to push the giant doors himself. Aurora flew ahead of his rider, chirping and hissing in order to warn the maids and servants of the incoming child, allowing them to make space for him to run without tripping him or bumping into him. Lucerys smiled softly, standing up as he used his hands to tidy up his garments, walking softly as guards and maids bowed to the Lord of the Tides and future Queen consort. He saw through the windows as his brother-husband and their daughter jumped off their dragons, Arrax was the first to join them, snuggling Vermax and Terrax as three smaller dragons joined them. Soon, Jacaerys and Maerea were hugging Asterea, Sereia, Narra and Aenon.

"Grandsire Daemon gifted me a dagger!"

"I learned how to shoot two arrows at the same time!"

"Uncle Daeron taught me how to locate myself at sea!"

"I taught Aurora a new trick!"

The four younglings exclaimed, having been separated from their sire and sister way too long. Lucerys chuckled as he approached the two of them, Maerea was dressed in the riding gear that his mother had made for her. Her curly brown hair had been short for many years now, as Maerea made a habit of cutting it with her sword and daggers, copying her aunt Baela. Jacaerys himself had been marked by the years and battles, with a large burn scar covering his neck and the vast majority of his torso and a large gash on his face, and multiple smaller scars left by arrows in one of the battles prior to their mother's ascension to the throne. Lucerys slowly made his way to his husband, knowing they would be able to catch up on lost time later in their bedchamber. Kissing his daughter on her forehead, and his husband on the lips. Maerea was quickly dragged away by her sisters and brother, promising to later catch up with Lucerys as she followed after her siblings.

"How was your journey?" Lucerys asked, turning to face Jacaerys.

"A bit tiring" His husband answered "We were lucky enough to avoid a storm but we couldn't leave earlier due to some complications" He looked around to ensure non of their children were around "Rhaena experienced a bit of a scare and thought she was with child, again" He whispered "Luckily it was a false alarm, but we were obviously scared"

"Well it is to be expected" Lucerys sighed "I cannot believe she didn't even raven me"

"Well darling there was a storm" Jacaerys hummed "The raven would've died"

Lucerys rolled his eyes with a smile.

"How was Aenon?" Jace asked.

Lucerys sighed, looking at where Aenon and his sisters had disappeared to.

"He's just like you" He hummed "Today he got everything right, he got confused with one word and immediately got sad. Sometimes I worry we gave him our worst traits" He looked into his husband's eyes "My desire to either be great or nothing, your inability to allow yourself to fail."

His worries were stopped by Jacaerys' lips on his own.

"We gave them all our best and worst traits" Jacaerys hummed "Just like our parents gave us their worst and best traits. We cannot change them. But we can teach them to live without letting these traits dictate the way they are"

The sky became engulfed in pink and purple flames as Aurora did the trick Aenon taught him. The sound of a window breaking followed the flames.

"Aenon! You made me miss my target!" Sereia shouted.

"So many kids, so many windows" Lucerys smiled "Go make sure nobody was shot, I'll go make sure our children don't kill each other"

"Of course my love" Jacaerys smiled, kissing his brother before rushing into the castle.
