Summary
Itachi is a shinobi. He lives, he serves, he fights, and he obeys. It is not a life he wants - not a light burden, or one that can be tossed aside as the heir to his clan. He is a pawn. A tool. To be human is a callously hopeful dream he cannot bear to consider while his family wades through a self-crafted political quagmire.
He is drowning. He is flying. Itachi wraps bruised knuckles and tries not to feel like a crow with broken wings. Sasuke deserves better. Shisui is steadily absent more often, and the elders are starting to claw their way to a coup. Itachi is backed into a corner with no way out.
Meanwhile, Shikamaru has traveled back through time and is quietly dismantling the Akatsuki for funsies, but this story isn’t about him.

Summary

(This work takes place at roughly the same time as the first fic in the series. You do not have to read that fic first to understand it.)

Summary
Shikamaru falls through time.
Darkness splits open.
The Nara caught between the living world and the spiritual one claws at life itself, desperate reach sinking into thick, tar-like shadows. Ink burns. Weighted barriers of yang chakra press against him, shoving what it believes should not pass out of the spiritual planes back towards the Pure Lands.
But Shikamaru was named as a reminder: what is gone can come back.
Deer circle.
Legacies cling to him.(Written as part of a series. What comes next will be Part 3 of Deer and Crow)

Summary
“Do you trust him?” Jim asked.
“Yes,” said Batman, unhesitating.
He didn’t know if he would ever like Red Hood. He didn’t know if he would ever be able to like working with him. He wanted to arrest the man. But if Batman trusted him, that would have to be enough for Jim.
Jim Gordon's evolving perspective on Red Hood.

Summary
The man was tall. Slim in the chest, but with shoulders that gladly filled out the tactical clothing under his tac vest. The collar of his shirt ended just under his jaw, made all the more stark by the contrast of thick, silver hair above. There were a half-dozen weapons hidden on his person. His boots were reinforced at the toe and heel, the leather combat-grade and a deep, telltale black.
Alfred Pennyworth walked down the center of the aisle, well-aware of the attention he’d garnered and entirely indifferent to it.

Summary
Red Hood kept his distance from the Bats. They had something akin to a truce, but they always maintained a healthy level of mutual wariness and animosity. None of them knew him, not in any way that mattered, and he was content keeping things that way.
Unfortunately, secrets had a way of coming to light.

Summary
Cooking with Cassandra is like cooking with a ghost.
It’s taken getting used to. His experience with children has made him very gifted at listening to them talk about the many things they’re passionate about, at asking the right questions to get their eyes to light up as they share their thoughts on the books they’re reading or the projects they’re working on.
It has not prepared him for the tiny, silent presence that now likes to lurk in the cabinets under the counter while he works.
