Fear," he smiled as if he was making a joke you didn't yet understand, "shouldn't control you. Not when it comes to opportunities like this."
You're silent, worrying your bottom lip between your teeth. Frozen in indecision, eyes focused on a random paper on his desk.
Then he said your name quietly.
"Fear only has as much power as you want to give it."
You looked him in his eyes- his crystal clear eyes, penetrating and sharp in their clarity- and the words spilled from your mouth like you'd been put under a spell. Hypnotized, like always.
"Alright. Then I'll do it."

Tim's Surprisingly Normal Semester ✓ (🦇)
Jonathan Crane gets bored and, as one does in Gotham, becomes a psych professor. Somehow, no one stops him. The students love him. The staff avoid him. And no one quite remembers rehiring him in the first place. Tim Drake is stationed at Gotham University under the guise of "monitoring" him. He's expecting horror. He finds... a surprisingly good syllabus, a strange sense of calm, and a friend group that doesn't know what a vigilante is. Crane, for his part, knows exactly who Tim is. He doesn't care, he just wants to teach. And maybe terrify a few freshmen along the way. Or: No one knows who rehired Professor Crane, but panic attacks come with bonus points and Tim's never been happier.Complete

Blood's Ink [Tim Drake love story]
"I know who you are" I whisper and he freezes. I could hear a soft but nervous chuckle come from his lips. "No you don't." he says ... He spun around and had me pinned against the wall, he was so close that I could see his light blue eyes through his domino mask. He radiated nothing but intimidation and power in his features but I could see past that. In his eyes, he was a whirlpool of fear, worry, and guilt as he stared intensely at my lips before looking into my eyes "...Are you going to tell anyone?" He questioned stiffly "No" I answer simply, honestly, only looking into his eyes everything else was irrelevant to us as he leaned closer [Tim Drake love story] ((Does not follow DC plots))Complete

Spirals || Mattheo Riddle
"I was reaching for stars that didn't exist, caught up in the fantasies born of willful hope. I threw myself in the path of fate because I wanted to be swept away." ... We do stupid, stupid things in the name of those we love. We dedicate ourselves to false promises and we hope that in the end, it all turns out alright. I was never the kind of person who jumped into things without thinking about the consequences. I never dreamed of what could come from some silly mistakes. Two new students come for their 6th year at Hogwarts. Neither of them particularly want to be there. What havoc could a witch and a dark wizard bring to the year? As they both become frustratingly curious about each other, things fall in place that might never have occurred if they had just never met. ... So I started this book because I was bored, and now it's kind of my life accomplishment weirdly enough. It's not perfect and definitely not what it started out as but this fic has parts of my heart and soul in it and I'm proud of how far it's come. Contains toxic but also lovable Mattheo Riddle and an emotionally relatable mc. !!!Finished updating but still doing some editing!!! *WARNING* Contains violence, sexual content, swearing, mentions of abuse, death and possibly more. *I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, Mattheo Riddle belongs to @yasmineamara, I only own my own characters. Happy readingComplete
