Summary
Tim was a lonely kid, and there was only so much to do in an empty house filled with everything but the warmth of living bodies. So when his parents bring back an ancient book that they can’t read from one of their expeditions, Tim asks if he can have it. Unlike with the more fragile and expensive artifacts, they decided to humor him without thinking much on it. He very quickly finds out that the book is in fact an occult grimoire. Now, Tim was generally considered very smart for his age, a genius even. But he was still 10, and he was very curious to see if this book was real. One ritual and one demon later he makes a wager, if the demon can beat him at a game of cards he can take his soul, but if Tim wins then he gets 5 extra years of life. It seemed like a good idea at the time, and the demons at least provided him some entertainment. Now Tim is 17. He’s been 17 for a long time, not that anyone seems to notice his lack of aging.
-Or-
Tim was a lonely kid left in a house of artifacts. So when he finds a book that can summon demons, he decides to give it a try. Somehow this leads to him becoming practically immortal and John Constantine's apprentice, all without the Bats knowing.

Summary
Your world is gone. Your life is forfeit. Those are two things I cannot change, the voice warned him gently. I can give you another version of your family. But I must tell you, this world and the people you will see won't be the same. A silent death may be better than this fate.
Once, Tim had dreamt of silent death. Once, Tim had yearned for unearned peace.
Tim didn’t speak, and still the voice sighed. I see. I will choose a good world for you. You will fall in love with it. It will break your heart. It spoke with certainty that rang with great weight. Do you still want it?
Tim thought of family. Of loneliness. Of all that lay in between.
Forcibly, painfully, Tim parted his lips. Breath rattled free, and he croaked out, “Yes.”
Oh, child, it mourned, and then a hand pressed against his chest and a scream ripped free from his body. Like the howling of a beast.
***
Tim's family, planet, and universe are destroyed in a matter of years. He dies, too, in the end, but is given a second chance at existence in a different world. A world where Damian is the first Robin and everything is backwards.
He takes it.

Fury's Stresses by CrimsonWriter
Fandom Marvel Cinematic Universe, Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Rick Riordan, The Heroes of Olympus - Rick Riordan, The Kane Chronicles - Rick Riordan
11 Sep 2017
Summary
Now, see, Fury is a pretty reasonable guy. He puts up with Tony Stark without killing him, yeah? That has to count for something. Especially when taken into consideration that he's Director of a spy--sorry, intelligence--agency. But even he has to resist the urge to pull out his nonexistent hair when there's HYDRA, and the fact that a good third of his agents' loyalties are mostly towards their mysterious cousin...who tipped them off to the snake infestation in the first place.
Fury is a pretty reasonable guy. He just wants to know if this cousin is another fucking alien, and then he'll figure it out from there.
(He isn't, as it turns out, but he does open up a whole new bag of cats. Insert a long-suffering sigh.)
