cults

Many thanks to Ari & Ciss who are helping me a TON. Based on a Tumblr post I can't find.-Tim Drake is assigned to investigate a ghost cult. Not a big deal, really, until you consider he's sent with Damian Wayne, an assasin who tried to kill him less than a year ago who he is expected to befriend because they're "brothers".What follows is as much as a mystery as a romance for Tim, and Damian, Dick, and Bruce finally learn actions have consequences- and they can't make Tim fix everything.-"Two lives are too many. I can return one of you- but you must choose."The abnormally grainy footage didn't allow lip reading, but body language transmitted well. There was Tim stepping forward, and Damien- he said something, had to from the way Tim bent in pain. There was a back and forth between the two before Tim took another step to the king."Some heroes," the king said, "I see only one here. I'll return you, as promised."To Tim, he said, "a hero was sacrificed, so I must accept." "I want to know what was said between Damien and Tim," Bruce said, "and how to get Tim out. I need you to focus on finding any way to get to him without sacrificing soneone."

The Golden Guard has been raised in the Titan's image all his life. He has always striven to fulfill His will, as told by His Mouthpiece, his uncle. Life has not been easy, but he's never expected it to be when following the righteous path. And then he and his uncle are captured. Separated from Belos, the Golden Guard will do whatever it takes to free him so they can return to fulfilling the Titan's will—even if it means playing along with a "therapist" and giving himself a "name" and attempting to make "friends;" he'll do whatever it takes to get their guards down. The only problem with this plan is that he wasn't expecting to like going along with his captors. [Or, another Hunter-is-raised-in-a-cult-and-then-gets-rescued-while-Belos-goes-behind-bars AU, except this time the cult is in the Demon Realm.]

General Jing Yuan had prepared for every possible way – probable or improbable, brutal or peaceful, soon or distant – how he or his peers would die and how Yanqing would continue on living without him.But not this. Never him. or, a new terror carves into the heart of the Luofu, and neither Jing Yuan nor Yanqing will ever be the same.

When a group of people arrive in the Encanto, the Madrigals are ready to help them in however way they can. But, why are these new people so strange and and rude to them-except Mirabel?
