Chapter Zero: Forward

0000000000000000000000

I'm reposting this again because…well the story demanded more plot and such. And I'm a slave to my tales so I was forced to obey. This is a forward, if you will, to let you all know what you're getting into before you get into it.

1) This will have homosexual content. Everything I write pretty much has it. If you don't like it I'm sure you have a back button on your browser. I can do heterosexual…stuff but I've found that on the ultra-rare occasion I try to write it I get reported. Weird, right? I mean…it's there. But it's not the main theme.

2) It will deal with elements of 'mysticism' and such. I wouldn't bother saying this except that I allowed my friend, who's Wicca, to hang over my shoulder and help me out from time to time and I no more want to offend people against that kind of thing than people heavily into it: I'm just a strange semi-Catholic kid. Don't take anything seriously; you'll just be kicking yourself in the morning. I don't know shit about anything.

3) I've gathered up some of the actual comic plotlines and woven them in with the cartoon ones, bringing forth certain characters and twists and…such.

4) This story will focus mostly on Raven, Robin, and an original character. I know, original character, scary thought, but I promise Blair is harmless. Except for the fangs and the whole 'I eat the flesh of mortals' thing. At one point it will seem Anti-Raven and it's not. I love Raven; she's a very close second on my favorite Titans list. She just does something…unsavory.

5) Demons lurk within. They aren't nice. They may appear nice but they aren't. Don't try to pet the demons or feed the demons because they'll eat you. Seriously. Fine, don't believe me but don't come whining to me if you lose a hand.

6) This might be long. I hope not but it probably will be. My mind works in mysterious ways not even known to myself. Scary innit?

7) I'm indulging in my love of Raven/Beast Boy. It's cute. If that bugs you the back browser option is still open.

8) Comic babble is present because I'm one of those sad chalk-pale types who likes to watch cartoons, anime and read comics all day. Not ashamed of it either.

And now the real summery (cause it turned out there is a lot of stuff going on):

Slade has returned and seems to have an army of demons obeying his every command. Raven withdraws into herself, fearing the future that'd been laid out for her and Robin calls in reinforcements. Meanwhile Brother Blood turns up dead and someone even worse is running the Hive Academy. In the meantime Robin encounters a boy who he just can't seem to banish from his mind anymore than he can rid himself of thoughts about Slade's new apprentice. Are they one in the same or is Robin just paranoid?

The first and second chapters still exist, but I can't promise what order they pop up in. It's everything else that's been scrapped. And, beyond that, expect something this weekend. I'm handy like that.
