*Trigger Warning: Mention of su!cide, implied murder, and the foster system*
Nico has had nightmares all his life. Nightmares of his family getting hurt. Nightmares of himself getting hurt. Of people running away. Of people dying. But he was always able to tell people about them. He was always able to get comfort.
Until his life turned into an actual nightmare.
He tried to tell someone. He tried to get his uncle put in prison for what he did, but he can't, and now his mother is dead, and his sister killed herself, and his father killed himself, and he's being put into foster care in Gotham city of all places, and his only hope of not doing that is to live with his distant family, who he'd never heard of before now.
Traumatized, done with everything, and ready to run away, Nico joins the Waynes at the Manor.
His whole family is gone.
He isn't ready to deal with more.

I Want You No Matter What (Book 2) Completed
Life had taken a turn for the better ever since my troubled brother was incarcerated for life. However, one day, a sense of unease crept over me and my best friend as we noticed a mysterious figure tailing us through the bustling town. "Ally, who's that man?" my best friend inquired, her voice tinged with concern. I scanned the area nervously, my heart pounding. "We should get out of here," I urged, seizing her arm as we hastily made our way through the crowded streets. Abruptly, I awoke from a disquieting nightmare, my screams ricocheting through the silent house. "Mom, there's a man chasing me in my dreams," I gasped out, my hands trembling. She attempted to soothe me, attributing the tumultuous visions to my overactive imagination. On one occasion, I inadvertently overheard my mom and aunt engaged in a hushed conversation, puzzling over what impending revelation they were deliberating. Eventually, I mustered the courage to confront the enigmatic man who had been shadowing me. "Why have you been following me? Who are you?" I demanded, my voice quivering with trepidation. "I am Aleekie Smith," he disclosed, leaving me dumbfounded. "You're the man from my dream," I whispered, the pieces falling into place. The drama unfolded further as I crossed paths with a former boyfriend adamant on asserting control, his aggression escalating to a perilous climax when he brandished a firearm. Feeling ensnared, I made a pivotal decision to extricate myself from the tumult, severing ties with everyone in a dramatic departure. Amidst escalating tension and conflict, an unexpected source of solace materialized in the form of my father, ushering the narrative into an unforeseen trajectory. To uncover the compelling trajectory of events that ensued, I urge you to continue reading. This is merely the entrancing prologue of the gripping saga that awaits.

I'm Here, I'm Alive | Spider-Man in Gotham Crossover
"They're here because of me, right? Because I'm Peter Parker? Then make everyone forget I exist. Make it so no one knows who Peter Parker is." Stephen had to bite back a scoff, "I'm sorry, Peter, but even making everyone forget you exist won't be enough. Your very existence is the problem now. To fix this, we need to- I will need to erase you." "What-what? What do you-" "I'm sorry, Peter. If I had more time, maybe I could find another solution, but at our current state, all I could do, is make it so you never existed in our universe." "Never exist? You mean, I-I'll die? Again?" Peter's voice trembled. "You won't have to. I can send you to a different universe, one where Peter Parker- where Spider-Man has never existed. You won't have to die, you won't exist here anymore, but you can still live." Stephen chose to omit how low the success rate was. He wanted to give the kid hope. "Live a good life, Peter." --- a/n: hello, got obsessed with this fanfic idea. Basically alternate ending to No Way Home, where Peter gets thrown in the middle of Gotham instead of just everyone forgetting who he is. Mostly inspired by Leap of Faith and IQ 250 on AO3, and Wayne Family Adventures from Webtoon. Not sure how long this will go, or where the plot will go. I just have a checklist of stuff I want Peter and the Batfam to do. Dick Grayson is Richard Parker.
The Assasins Struggle
THE SEQUEL IS OUT NOW!!! It's called The Kronos Curse!!! Go read it once you finish this!! :) Damian Wayne, the son of Batman and heir to the Demon Head, has a problem. Well, two, really. Both of them are magic related. One is connected to the beautiful, raven-haired, purple-eyed, half-demoness, Raven. The other is connected to the Egyptian god of death, Anubis, and the fact that he is currently 'possessed' by him. But he'll soon find he has a much more major problem. Alaina Keller, or Alnamir, has never had a normal life. Ever since she was born she was a member of the League of Assasins. When her mother died when she was 2, she was taken care of by Talia Al Ghul. She became the best assassin they had before she was even 16. She's always had a purpose but now that she's been freed by her brother, Damian, she doesn't know her purpose. But a certain Superboy might help with that. I ONLY OWN TIA KELLER AND ALAINA KELLER AND ASTRID, and other OCs that might be in here!! ALL THE REST BELONG TO DC EXCEPT FOR ANUBIS. He's just from history, I guess. I do own the plo,t though. :) The Anubis Idea technically belongs to @Bats_1213 from her book A Pain Most Wonderful, which is wonderful. (Hehe, get it?) WARNING!! All I know of DC is from Young Justice, YouTube, and fanfics, but this is technically an AU, so I guess it works. Just read at your own risk, and feel free to correct me on things. There are also some trigger warnings, such as attempted cutting and attempted suicide, but there will be warnings ahead of time. And some cussing. Lots of cussing, actually. And dirty jokes and such.Complete
The saviour in need of saving

Same title and account name*Complete
Fire Meets Family
After going on a little trip to get some supplies for camp Leo winds up in Gotham. Just as Leo finds himself in some trouble, a couple of mysterious people come to his aid. The only problem is they think he is some street rat orphan. This leaves Leo trying to figure out what to do as he is now stuck at an orphanage. Meanwhile, back at camp, his friends are now panicking at his sudden disappearance. I'm not great at descriptions. Basically this is Leo x batfam, cause there is not enough of these. I love Nico x batfam fanfics, but I have always wondered what a Leo x batfam would be like, cause we never really get to dive into his trauma well. Also the three that there are on here are like 4 chapters long. I probably will have slow updates because I don't have a lot of free time, and I'm not that creative despite being an artist. Also, not my cover art! Yall, I can't believe I forgot to put a disclaimer till now. I do not own any characters from Percy Jackson, nor do I own DC. Thank you.
From Camp Half-Blood to Gotham (Nico x Batfam)
**All characters belong to the writers of DC and Rick Riordan.** Nico is careless, he's always known that. But he never expected himself to wind up in the LITERAL worst place in all of America. China would have honestly been better than this. But luck was not on his side, it never was, and probably will never be. But this was cruel, even for the fates, or the gods, or really anyone. Because everyone seemed to wish Nico nothing more than a rather sucky life. The only problem was Nico himself. Gods, did he need to get a grip on his life. Especially as he stared up at the rust Iron sign that read 'Welcome to Gotham!'Complete
The Day His World Fell Apart
( A/N: Okay, so, I've been wanting to write something like this for a while, but I never really had the motivation to actually write it. I can't promise regularly scheduled updates, but I will do my best. I've also inserted an OC of mine into this story. His name is Dylan. Be nice to him, he's just a sad wet cat of a character.) Dylan was so done with the gods. He'd done everything they'd asked, gone behind the backs of the few friends he had, set several prophecies in motion, and - possibly worst of all - had lied directly to their faces about it. And yet here he was, doing Apollo's dirty work again. Gods, he hated his dad (The only character I own is Dylan, all the others belong to Rick Riordan and the DCU.)

I probably wont be committed but I'll try to submit as many chapters as i can. All original characters go to DC and Rick Riordan, though these are my original ideas so no takesy 👍
Changes (Completed)
⚠WARNING: VERY CRINGE AND MESSY, MAJOR PLOTHOLES, I STARTED IT LIKE TWO YEARS AGO. ⚠ . Rose Woods has been with her foster father Jordan Lukes ever since she was 9. Ever since her brothers abandoned her because of someone else, she had built a wall against others, barring her from showing her emotions. Staying in the foster care system for 2 years after her mother's death, she learned how to mask her emotions and be ruthless. That mask crumbled when Jordan adopted her and started starving and abusing her. But she still faced the walls outside of that house with a cold facade. But when he dies due to drunk driving and she has to go back to her brothers who abandoned her, what will she do? Will she make her walls more stronger for them? Or will she let them break in? What will she do when her past begins to catch up with her? How will her brothers react when they find out she's in the Mafia? So many questions. And various answers. Which one will it be? ⚠TRIGGER WARNING⚠ ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●□ Hey! This is just a little bit different version of "It Hurts" that is on my other account @deeply_in_thought20.

OUTRUN THE TRUTH {OMORI AU} (OLD)
!! READ THE REWRITE (Go to my profile) !! Following the INCIDENT, the atmosphere in CLOSEBY shifted drastically. There was a noticeable increase in fear and aggression towards BASIL, fueling his growing resentment. Years of enduring pain caused by a particular individual had undoubtedly left its mark on him. But then, an unexpected turn of events brought a ray of hope into his life. Now, at a crossroads, he has to decide whether to seek healing and make amends with his past, or let himself be consumed by despair. 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐓𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐂𝐒 𝐒𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐀𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃 𝐀𝐁𝐔𝐒𝐄! This book is an opposite au, meaning that the character's personalities will be the opposite of their canon ver. For example, Sunny in this book is eccentric and outgoing while in the game he's quiet and keeps to himself. Just adding this because a lot of people are confused about why the characters are awful to each other and "OOC" lol. (I don't blame them) I'm writing this for 𝗳𝘂𝗻 and ideas are taken from my roleplays with my friends. P.S: Basil is an unreliable narrator, take his words and perception of things with a grain of salt. 9/9/24: This story is a goddamn mess, read if you want. This was when I didn't know how to write for shit #2 in omoriau, #7 in peer-pressureComplete
