Summary
After all, his personal philosophy dictated that life was about pushing limits, whether it was about how much abuse one could endure with a sane mind or how much he could deceive someone before they noticed. Ouma considered himself a professional in both, but he also knew that the limit existed, so occasionally he had second thoughts about getting so close to it.
[Pregame setting where Ouma goes to a military high school and gets involved in bullying, mild torture and a gangbang thanks to his peers. Graphic depictions of sex and violence. Don't expect very... moral subject matters.]

Summary
“What if I can prove that I’m better?”
The silence that met Joseph’s proposition didn't deter him, but it did make him wary of any stray bubbles that might've made an attempt on his life. He wouldn’t put it past an angry Caesar to try for soapy decapitation. "Like, a competition to show who is stronger, you know?” He tried again, hooking a finger over the top of Caesar’s book and pulling it down slowly. He doubted he was reading it anyway, just flipping through pages to show off how much of an intellectual he was.

Regulus lives but he might as well be dead. He teaches Charms, it's fucking angsty and he dies anyway. Didn't cry but questioned whole existance, which was worse
Don't read it without finding a regulus-centric fluffy fic to read after this or you will perish

this is incredible. havent even finished it yet but my god
-
i finished and it felt so horrible at the end, and it's one of the best things ive ever read. really this is a character study on auguste, it's about him all along, and i've rarely been so impressed with a work's writing craft, even in published books. this is one of those stories that are so good and just so awful. i'm really glad i read this, even if it's left this terrible taste in my mouth that i know will linger for days.

Summary
Tim has had many disguises in his lifetime, has had identities switched like clockwork. First from socialite darling Timothy Drake to Tim and back, later Robin and Tim which he has to carefully separate.
Other identities accumulate, Carolina, Alvin, Jessica, Tommy. He has forgotten about half of them. They all have a life, goals and hobbies, a look and a feel and a smell. They do not interchange. Tim is not Tim when he is Jones or Michelle or Charlie. That’s what he tells himself at least. It is required for the mission.
or:
Tim introduces his brothers to a new disguise. They are horrified to hear he's been sneaking into clubs for missions since he was 14. Tim doesn't really get it. -

Felt wrong.

Summary
They called the soldier into a training room where he saw his son hanging upside down on the ceiling.
“Hi Papa!” He cheered, waving with a big smile even though the soldier never gave one back.
“Look, Soldat, your son is a miracle,” an agent cackled, yellow teeth shining in the fluorescent lights, “crawling the walls like a little spider!”
***
The soldier doesn’t remember his son’s birth or how he came to be. He doesn’t remember bedding a woman and watching her belly swell, but they said the boy was his. He does know that he will protect and teach the boy within the confines of their cell walls. Even when the handlers berate him. Even when the good guys take him away
