    Summary

    The cultist holding onto his baby cousin yanked her uninjured arm up, lifting the brand again, and Bernard saw red.

    -•-

    The children of Ares might be known for their hotheaded recklessness, but that doesn't change their other qualities. After all, a fiery temper doesn't come without emotion, and they're not only good at rage and violence, but at other hot-blooded feelings too, at passion, protectiveness.

    And by the gods, the children of Ares are passionate about protecting those they care about.

    Summary

    There weren't a lot of demigods in Gotham, but the city had a few. Like in any good city, they had their own underground network for sharing information, and recently, rumors were circulating about the murders of various clubbers and how they might be monster-related.

    And, well, Bernard might be a self-respecting Gothamite who kept his nose out of other people's business, but he happened to like the club that seemed to be the epicenter and queer people already had it hard enough in Gotham and everywhere else without this killer adding to their struggles.

    Summary

    He was going to die.

     

    He didn't want to die. He wanted to finish his date, be walked home, tell his mom and his brother about his night. Gods, he wanted to see his brother again. See his father again.

    He didn't want to die.

    The Children of Dionysus plan to sacrifice Bernard. Only, they're in for a surprise, because he never told them he was actually a child of Dionysus.

    Summary

    There was a storm gathering.

    It had been building slowly, over the course of days. Bernard thought it might finally break tonight.

    If only he had known about the other, more metaphorical storm that would finally break at the same time.

    Summary

    Getting grabbed off the street after fighting off a monster was NOT how Bernard wanted to spend his night. They didn't even want a ransom or anything, they just threw him in a side room of their warehouse and left him there for hours. Where was a vigilante when you needed one?

    Scratch that, they had nabbed the vigilante, too. And now they finally wanted something from him.

    Ugh, these people.

    Summary

    Bernard Dowd had been born a mortal, and he would die a mortal. But somewhere in the between, he had been a Hunter of Artemis, one of the eternal companions of the goddess of the moon.

    Leaving behind his vows may have meant leaving behind the godly world, but that didn't mean he abandoned his loyalty to them. If it would protect the people he had come to care about, he would take their secrets, their existence, to his grave.

    Summary

    Kon just wanted to go for a walk, bored and with nothing to do cooped up at the Tower. He just wanted to go outside, stretch his legs for a while, and then come back and have some nice, warm dinner and watch a movie or something.

    If Batman got on his back about using guest clearances to bring a random kid into the Tower, he was going to take pointers from his demigod boyfriend and ignore or out-stubborn the man. If he could (occasionally, not all the time, he was only a mere mortal, after all) out-stubborn his vigilante boyfriend, then he could get out of dealing with the Bat on this one. Hopefully.

    Summary

    “What are you thinking so hard about?” Kon asked, interrupting his thoughts.

    “You.” Bernard said. “Things I gotta tell you.”

    “Oh?” Kon asked lightly, folding the towel he’d been drying his hands with to hang it back over the cabinet door.

    -•-•-•-

    Bernard wanted to tell Kon about the aftereffects of his powers on his own terms. Those who witnessed his recovery after escaping Python knew through unavoidability and necessity, not through any choice of his own. He was literally in the middle of trying to tell Tim when a vision took over. He wanted Kon to know, and he wanted to tell him himself.

    Summary

    Bernard's never been a year-rounder at Camp Half-Blood, but he has been visiting at least a couple times a year outside of summer ever since he hit high school. After Kronos and Gaea, too, stopping by every once in a while was sometimes the only way to calm his nerves and make sure his friends and family were okay.

    But now that he didn't have to hide being a demigod? You bet he was taking advantage of not only living so close, but also all the time he was spending in New York, to visit and spend time with his siblings. It was good to see them, and he was even able to build more of a relationship with his new Gothamite baby sister than if he only saw her over summer.

    Summary

    Bernard's first time visiting the Justice League's home base up in space, he’s there because Wonder Woman needs him to take a look at one of her cases and let her know if he recognizes any demigodly or other greek activity. He's not really expecting to run into anyone up there, it's pretty late at night and they're being careful of his identity so as not to connect him to any other heroes or vigilantes and give away their identities.

    But gods don't really care for the concept of reasonable times to stage meetings, and tend to go where they want. At least, because it's so late, the god in question shouldn't be able to make too much of a scene. Hopefully.

    Summary

    Thing is, Bernard’s always been a conspiracy theorist. And he’s held some theories, about certain superheroes, since long before he ever met them or learned their identities.

    Now that he knows them personally, is witness to their daily lives? Well. He’s going to prove his theory right, once and for all.

    Summary

    Things have pretty much settled back into place in Bernard's life. Things have changed, of course, between the traumatic event and the identity reveal with his boyfriend's family and the new training, but he's settled into his new normal. He's doing pretty well, all things considered.

    So when a friend reaches out to see if he wants to hang out, he's not going to turn down the company. And hey, he's only met her a couple times so far, but he likes his new Gothamite baby sister, so he's not opposed to seeing her, either.

    Summary

    All eyes turned to him as he slipped, going down with a thud.

    "Heyyy fellas, some nice weather we're having, isn't it?" Bernard asked.

    The goons stared at him, unimpressed.

    Summary

    Just a simple poem I wrote themed about this series to both practice my understanding of the format and for a warm up to help drum up some inspiration for writing in this 'verse. Might do more, if I don't hate them then I'll add them to this.

    Not at all necessary to read to understand the rest of the series, and so far no spoilers or anything, it's a very vague theming around the basest central concept ideas I used for this series.

    Title from Dear Maria, Count Me In by All Time Low because the line is fitting and I couldn't resist :))

    Summary

    The events with the snake now several weeks in the past, Bernard's been spending most of his time with his boyfriend, hanging out with him and his friends, and training with Tim. None of the Bats know anything about the whole ordeal past what Robin was present for, and his boyfriend's conveniently kept him away from both Waynes and Bats until now. But when the man who is basically Tim's grandfather invites them both to family dinner in order to see the demigod's recovered health for himself, they're thrown directly into the line of everyone's curiosity.

    Bernard's not worried about it at all, but Tim is anxious about them finding out Bernard knows about the vigilantes or Bruce being too invasive with his questions. God knows their family dinners are always disasters.

    Summary

    Tim Drake hasn't seen his boyfriend since he disappeared into thin air at the zoo. Red Robin hasn't seen Gotham's resident son of Apollo since his team rescued him from the serpent, Python, and Wonder Girl brought him back to Camp Half-Blood. He knows Bernard's alive and recovering, but he can't help but worry and expect the worst.

    Bernard just wants to get through one night without the painful visions plaguing him, please and thank you. He wants to get them under control and go back home. Maybe take a nice nap - that hopefully won't end in him waking up screaming - with his boyfriend.

    His boyfriend. Yeah. They're also going to need to have a talk.

    Summary

    Heaving a sigh, Bernard scrubbed a hand over his face and dragged himself out of bed to go start the shower. He had plans today, and the nightmare was just that - a nightmare.

    He really should have listened to his instincts.
