In the heart of Gotham, the Bat-Family faces threats both familiar and extraordinary-but everything changes when a young Amazon named Nyx steps into their world. Gifted with powers that have not appeared in over 10,000 years, she carries the weight of a legacy older than memory itself-the Avatar of the Amazons, a force unseen for millennia.
As Gotham teeters on the brink, alliances are tested and loyalties strained. Jason Todd, the Red Hood, is challenged not just in battle, but in trust and understanding, while Nyx must navigate a world of technology, intrigue, and heroes whose rules are entirely foreign to her.
FOR THE READERS
This story is set within the DC Universe, with the Bat-Family at its heart, exploring their dynamics, missions, and the unexpected chaos that can follow when new forces enter their world. Into this universe steps Nyx, a character inspired by the Avatar from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Rather than simply bending the elements, Nyx's abilities are woven into the history of the Amazons, blending elemental mastery with Amazonian training, combat, and resilience.

Steady On Forward
Dick Grayson's life has never been easy, but he'd like to think it's been going better lately. He's been operating mainly out of Gotham again for almost a year, and has been in a steady relationship for just over. He knows where he stands with crime-fighting, and the family is all on pretty good terms, considering. Things are really going pretty well. Unfortunately, the balance doesn't last long, and old horrors from Dick's past end up dredged up alongside new ones. This is a story about love and family, but equally so about trauma and healing from it. Please heed the warnings in the preface. ______________________________________________ •Written May 2019 ̶ October 2020• [Complete, 97k words] Thank you to @violenttulips for the endless support and feedback! ______________________________________________ ______________________________________________ (Art featured on cover by FightClubFIEND via DeviantArt; 'Night Wing Emblem'.

Stones and Glass Houses (Book 1)
(Previously Avengers Dynasty) Marvel x DC fanfic This is a story set in a world where its protectors include not only the Avengers, but the Justice League, the X-men, Fantastic Four, Teen Titans, and all the chaos that comes from having two vast universes in one place. For starters, the famous Stark family has had one enemy for generations, the Waynes. In this story, two born enemies find their way towards one another, and it's their similarities and differences that will change the course of their lives. This is Brooklyn Jones' story, one where a Red Room villain is guided towards a different path which leads her to gaining not only family and friends, but a new destiny intertwined with people she never thought she'd love. This is also the tale of the League's Damian Wayne, someone who believed affection and kindness were not necessary in life, at least that was until he met an assassin like him. Will their hatred towards one another be able to continue on as expected? This is the tale of the dynasty of the Avengers, of Gotham's silent heroes, and of a war begun by alien weapons from the battle of New York. Most of all, this is a tale of growth, change, family and duty, but above all...its about what happens when two teens defy their fathers for something more. ****** (This book will be based loosely on the films and comics of both Marvel and DC. Beware of spoilers! I don't own the Marvel or DC characters, songs, and gifs used) Also, warnings of cursing, violence, and I guess some mature themes in the future chapters. (This story is under a different name in another platform, but its the same content. You can find it as A Chance To Join That Pantheon. I'm making changes to get rid of all my temporary placeholders, so maybe in the future the name will change here as well) Cover art by Meli ArtComplete

The Blood Beneath My Feet (Dc Universe)
He was never supposed to be part of the story. Everyone knows the legend of Jason Todd-Robin, the Boy Wonder who died too young and came back as the vengeful Red Hood. But hidden in the shadows of Gotham is a story no one tells. A story about the brother Jason left behind. Asher Todd was just a child when his world collapsed-when addiction, abandonment, and fire stole what little innocence he had left. Thought dead, forgotten by his brother and overlooked by the man he once idolized, Asher was taken in by someone far more dangerous: Slade Wilson, better known as Deathstroke. Raised in secrecy. Trained as a weapon. Forged by rage. Now, as a grown assassin with a singular mission, Asher returns to Gotham with one goal: Kill the Bat. In a world of masks, betrayal, and buried truths, Asher must navigate the blurred lines between justice and revenge. But the deeper he digs into his past, the more he begins to question everything-especially the brother he thought he knew. This is the untold story of Asher Todd. And it begins with blood.
Red hoods daughter
percilla Jackson, or Percy as she was known, lay amidst the carnage, the last ember of life flickering in her sea-green eyes. Her friends, fallen heroes of Olympus, surrounded her, their lifeless forms a chilling testament to the brutal battle. Then, a blinding light consumed her; a chorus of divine voices, Zeus's rage a palpable force, Poseidon's sorrow a tidal wave. Against her will, she was reborn - the Goddess of Justice, Vengeance, Children, and Peace, a cruelly ironic quartet of domains. A century passed, the weight of her impossible responsibilities crushing her. Her pain, far from fading, spiralled into a vortex of despair, threatening to shatter the very fabric of her divine existence. Lord Chaos, ever vigilant, saw her impending destruction. He couldn't allow such a powerful being to unravel, not when the cosmos trembled at the thought. With a flick of his chaotic hand, he sealed her divinity, her memories reduced to a whisper of her name, Percy, and her sea-green eyes a striking contrast to her now youthful appearance. He plucked her from the Olympian realm, depositing her in a dimension where the Old Gods were mere legends, a world shrouded in shadows and echoing with forgotten magic. He chose his vessel carefully: Jason Todd, the Red Hood, a man haunted by his own demons, a man who craved purpose.
