    Summary

    One pill would pull him out of his misery—one pill would take the edge off enough to breathe—one pill would turn the screaming in his head into cotton.

    Roy knows exactly what one pill turns into.

    He knows.

    He—knows.

    --

    or: Roy has always had ways to outrun a craving: patrol, pain, sex, anything loud enough to drown it out. One very bad weekend takes every single one of them off the table.

    Summary

    "Rocky did not understand human names and titles when we met. Eridian names longer, give information on Eridian's home, associations, skills." For the first time in ages, he positioned two of his arms together, forming the design that Grace thought of like a family crest, a single design bisected.

    "You should teach me to read those before we get to Erid, so I can be polite." As Grace considered the linework, already picking up on some vague ideas from the shapes in Rocky's carapace, something else occurred to him. "So… I picked 'Rocky' because your outer shell looks like stone."

    "And for inspirational story of athlete who defeats human system of poverty to become great champion. Eye of the tiger."

    "Retroactively, yeah." Grace bent at the hips, getting to Rocky's 'eye' level. "So what'd you name me?"

    Summary

    He’d broken a statue. He drew in a deep breath, trying to still his heart, which was suddenly pounding like he’d just completed the training course in the batcave.

    You’re resourceful; you can figure out a way to fix this, he told himself. But then he received another crushing blow — the cardboard box that had fallen was marked in Alfred’s neat handwriting. Martha’s study, it read.

    A small, broken sound escaped from Tim — he’d destroyed something that had belonged to Bruce’s mom!

    ***

    Tim is living at Wayne Manor and waiting to be adopted when a mistake causes him to question whether he deserves to be part of the Wayne family after all.

    Summary

    In linguistics, a false friend is a word in a different language that sounds similar to a word in your own, but differs significantly in meaning. No word in any Eridian language could possibly be mistaken for English. But Erid absolutely has false friends.

    In his right mind, Grace would easily identify the mistaken assumptions inhibiting his integration on Erid. They are:

    1: A molecular biologist and a sapient rock can cobble together translation software that reflects the etymological nuance of an entire alien language.
    2: Eridians are enough like humans to have an area 51 and look forward to using it.

    Unfortunately, Grace hasn’t been in his right mind in years.

    Or: a ‘Return to Erid’ story where Grace struggles to touch down alone.

    Summary

    Less than 2 months away from Erid. In the process of the Hail Mary evading an exoasteroid, Rocky falls from top to bottom of the ship.

    In normal circumstances, Rocky could shake it off. Maybe a little sore, but okay.

    In this case, Rocky cannot.

    Rocky is scared.

    Summary

    Jason is captured, tied up, and currently in the company of some people who would love to see him dead. Unfortunately for him, they seem more interested in making sure that the road to death is long and painful rather than quick. With his relationship with the rest of the Bats still less than solid he isn't seeing any help anytime soon.

    This... isn't looking good.

    Summary

    Another pause. "And you-" Dick coughed. "And you've dealt with this kind of stuff before?"

    "Who. The fuck. Else. Is going to." He gritted, glaring across at him. Dick went quiet, and the basement's darkness seemed to flatten the air around them as they stood in each other's company, slightly awkward.

    Dick swallowed, making an aborted gesture over at him. "So what are you a ghostbuster or something?"

    "Oh my god," Jason groaned to himself, instantly turning and walking over to the hole leading out, preparing his grapple so he could leave. He did not have time for this.

    -

    Having use of the All-Blades means Jason's pretty used to being the most qualified person in Gotham to deal with supernatural issues. Why Dick's randomly started trying to help he has no fucking clue.

    Summary

    With the sudden revelation in his veins, Jason jumped up from the chair. Without even taking a shower, or changing out of his flour-dusted, batter-splattered clothes, he put on a coat and shoes and sprung out of his apartment like a bat on fire.

    'I am going to get that recipe if it fucking kills me.'

    Summary

    Bruce’s brain takes a moment to reboot. “Your parents are in South America?”

    “Yes.” 

    He’s not sure why he’s so surprised – the Drakes are known for their work in archeology, and not much of that can be done locally. Still, he assumed that they took Timothy with them when they left the country for work. It seems a shame to leave him with a nanny this close to Christmas. 

    “Okay,” he says, erasing the numbers typed into his phone. “What’s your nanny’s number, then?”

    “My what?” Timothy looks scandalized. 

    “Your babysitter? Whoever is in charge of you while your parents are gone,” he clarifies. 

    I’m in charge of me when my parents are gone,” Timothy says proudly, his little chest puffing out. “I’m the Man of the House.” 

    AKA

    Tim gets to spend Christmas with the Waynes! This will not have lasting consequences, I'm sure.

    Summary

    Jason’s plan was simple. Get to the Wayne Manor, drop Damian to Alfred’s capable hands, and haul ass anywhere else (bonus: try not to die by angry assassins). With his plans crashed and no home to come back to, there wasn’t anything else he could do.

    (Un)fortunately, it wasn’t Alfred who opened the door.

    Summary

    Dick and Bruce's relationship is strained at best after he moves out but the more time Dick spends with Jason the more his own tangled pack bonds call out for something more. When he finds his brother alone on the cusp of his first heat Dick will do anything to keep him safe and comfortable; and somewhere along the way he becomes the glue holding their little pack together.

    Years later Jason has burned every bridge, he's lucky to even be allowed near the bats, so he takes any scraps of attention he can and tries to live with the grief of a lost pack. He's been struggling through his heats alone in one of his safe houses and hiding it from Bruce and the others when Dick finally gets tired of giving him space.

    Jason’s first heat ever and his first heat realizing maybe his pack isn’t completely lost to him

    Summary

    Batman can’t kill to avenge Robin. But Bruce Wayne isn’t Batman. Jason Todd isn’t Robin. And protection is another cup of tea entirely.

     

    The idea for this came from a Tumblr post, but I changed it to make it my own – added some more conflict to make it more dramatic because you should never write at two am while jetlagged. It escalated. I know the internet likes that, so here you go. Knock yourselves out on the angst sauce. Don’t do actual drugs, kids.

    Summary

    He’d split a rock on his head as a child. He’d ripped a nadder’s head from its shoulders as a baby. He’d been made chief when his father died to dragons, and as chief he’d watched his Valka miscarry for years only to be snatched away by dragons from their only surviving child; and, nearing what should have been the end of his time as chief, his heir and son had gone missing, probably because of dragons too. And he’d survived that. The people of Berk were tough, worn and weathered and rooted down into the earth like the mountain against whose base they had settled.

    But Stoick wasn’t so certain anymore that they could survive much longer. Hiccup was gone, but the village still skirted disaster; Astrid was his heir, but the Berk she was inheriting was char and charcoal.

     

    After Hiccup went missing Stoick's certainty in victory against dragons disappeared too. A mysterious Dragon Master offers hope, but hope is a man with a Night Fury for a shadow and a power that brought the tyrant who last bore that title to his knees.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    For over ten years, before the sequel, before I even knew AO3 was a thing, I have gone back and read this every time i rewatched HTTYD. Its a fantastic Toothless POV of the movie, except it adds to the world building in every way.
    Heck. When the sequels came out, i was disappointed the world they described didnt feel as vibrant as the one in this fic.

    Im bookmarking it here because it is one of the few reasons i still login to my old ffn account.

    Fjord Mustang, if you ever stumble across this bookmark, I hope you know that your work has lived in my brain rent free for over a decade
