Chapter Summary: In which love is the only answer, but it takes several conversations, a couple of mishaps, and a massacre to get to the heart of the matter.

This chapter was one of my favorite things to write for @superfambigbang, because it allowed me to meditate on what it means to love when you're fundamentally broken as a person.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I'll see you for the finale on Sunday! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ

[courtofdunces]

Aaaaand here we go! Into the zone! I'll post my art separately in a few days I just wanted to give people a chance to read the fic first <3

I loved this scene and I loved trying to depict it- for all that trying to depict the phantom zone is difficult as hell and trying to depict it's guardians throughout time standing post

Hope you all enjoy and you better have read Revenant first! <3

Thank you for the wonderful art pieces!

The Revenant Clause - Chapter 4/4 - Final

Fandom: DC Comics

Ships: Kara Zor El/Querl Dox; Bart Allen/Kon El

Ratings: M+

Warnings: mentions of self-harm, depression, ppl doing the nasty

Summary: With Darkseid’s death and Gorilla Grodd's rebellion, the House of El has been stretched thin with competing priorities both at home and beyond, but when news arrives that Bart Allen and Querl Dox are to be married, Supergirl and Superboy drop everything after being convinced that there’s something eerie afoot.

Chapter Summary: Even Odysseus came home in the end.

~~~

I've long thought Bart and Kon as Hades and Persephone parallels with the way the two characters have evolved over the last thirty years, both together and separately.

But it was only recently that I started to see Pre-Crisis KaraDox as a derivation of Odysseus and Penelope (shoutout to the tunglr user who put the thought in my head). Because if she really ever came back, I really do think he would be waiting for her at the end of her resurrection. That's the kind of love they had goin on in those old comics, and I'll never get over them lol. People who will find each other in every Hell, yippee!

I hope you all enjoyed this story because I certainly had a wonderful time writing it. Thank you for reading, and don't forget to leave comints! Shout to @superfambigbang for hosting this wonderful event! (～￣▽￣)～

Summary: Now that Allen remembers, he can't forget the man he spent seventeen years traveling the world with.

[in canon; post-Chapter 257; Allen-centric; past Laven]

~~~

I definitely think Past Laven had relations for many years, and these current revelations in the manga are basically killing Allen from the inside out. Husband dead, but he's still alive. Also he looks fifteen when he's supposed to be like fifty-five. My guy's definitely on suicide watch, probably. Thank you for reading, and don't forget to leave a comint! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ
