    Summary

    He lays on the ground, his well-loved jacket tossed aside somewhere close to him. Tommy wonders when he could taste the metallic flavour of blood on the tip of his tongue, when he began having to clean it from underneath his nails and when his jacket became familiar with being soaked with the fluid.

    Standing over him is the boy he had admired so much, his own eyes wild and his hands dripping the same shade that stained Tommy's shirt -- Tommy could smell the fresh scent of cut grass, the coppery tang of blood and more importantly, how much Wilbur reeked of power.

    Summary

    Grian presumed his soul was actively leaving his body – providing him with just another last minute delusion to take him into the next life - until he heard music.

    His tired delusions were a lot of things, but they were never music.

    Grian blinked, once, twice, then a third time. Still, the shape on the horizon didn’t fade. The light didn’t fade. The music didn’t fade. This wasn’t the blurry shadow of what may or may not be a rock, or the light of the moon against a wave imitating a town. This was a genuine miracle. This was his relief.

    It was a ship!

    - or -

    After being cursed by a witch, Grian finds himself stuck in the form of a parrot with no way to change back, and only a conveniently handsome pirate captain to rely on until he reaches land.

    Summary

    The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.

    “I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”

    With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.

    This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.

    “Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

    - or -

    Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.

    Summary

    Tommy was many things: feared, free, powerful… but he wasn’t proud.

    He wasn’t proud of the title he had or the name they’d called him, honestly he didn’t think he deserved it. Tommy never had an evil plan, or a secret lair, or any of the cool things villains had. All he had was a shitty apartment and the clothes on his back, and a desire for more.

    He couldn’t be a civilian, and he certainly wouldn’t be a hero, so he did what he had to do.

    At fifteen years old, Red Death killed the top heroes in L’Manburg, and Tommy became a villain.

    Or: Two years ago, the top heroes of L'Manberg were killed by Red Death. Now, ex-villain Tommy tries to juggle the fallout while also forging new relationships, some of which may be more complicated than they seem.
