    Summary

    A collection of all the stories in Traveling Thieves, which is my Dark Fantasy, Hybrid Slavery, super angsty AU that spawned from my Whumptober 2023 prompt fills! Currently in semi-chronological order except for the first fic in the series, which will always be “I see the danger, it’s written there in your eyes” which if anyone does want to read the series in chronological order, I’d like them to start there! ^-^ I also occasionally place some stories in specific locations that I think work best for the reading order that aren't exactly where they'd be timeline-wise!

    WARNING: THIS IS A WHUMP-CENTRIC, ANGST-CENTRIC, HURT/COMFORT (SOMETIMES NO COMFORT) DARK FANTASY AU.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the tags before you dive into any stories of this one, this series is intended to be a place for me to try my hand at writing and exploring some darker themes.

    There will be plenty of happy times in this, too, though! It's not all doom and gloom, I promise! I hope you'll enjoy!

    Ask me about the series, world building, future planning, or just come say hi! @amethystfairy1

    Summary

    What was he doing? It was a valid question Zed had been posing to himself a lot, recently. After getting mercilessly fired from the Institute, nearly blacklisted out of the city entirely, and seeing the compilation of his professional life's work passed through a paper shredder, it was worth asking. But it wasn't his career, or his bank account, or the odd jabbing in the back of his mind that he really just wasn't particularly brilliant in the first place; none of those were the topic.
    Instead, it was Tango—Tango of the Tek variety—whatever that meant. Because if there was one thing Zed hated beyond anything else, it was being left in the dark. He didn't like not knowing. It was his least favorite feeling in the world. He wanted to understand, take things apart and put them together again, and see how it ticked, ticked, ticked.
    But how did Tango tick? And how could Zed ever begin to claim that he knew? After all, he didn't even know what Tango looked like. And he was willing to take the leap, quite literally, to ensure that he didn't live another day with that being the truth.

    {In which Katherine clotheslines Zed, Tango panics at Jimmy, Xisuma isn't paid enough for this, and yeah...it's nice to meet you.}

    Summary

    This is a compilation of all the pieces that take place within my Over-City/Under-City AU, which is also a Hot Guy/Cute Guy Superhero AU, though that's not the only thing that'll be going on! I plan to keep this series in chronological order, so I'll put all the pieces where they'd fall along the timeline, which may sometimes not line up with the publishing date. The exception to this is 'Pretty Boy' which, IF someone does want to read the whole series in order, I'd want them to have read that one first and then all the rest, so 'Pretty Boy' will always be the first fic in the line-up, but after that you could read chronologically or just bounce around as you please! I've written all of these to mostly stand-alone, so you shouldn't be too terribly confused no matter where you decide to start up!

    Ask me about the series or just come say hi on tumblr! @amethystfairy1

    This series is also being adapted into podfics by @boo-the-AHH if you prefer the audio format!
