Legends Lost
Legends Lost is a fan fiction universe that expands and continues Scarecrow and Mrs. King. While the show was a lighthearted spy spoof, this universe has segued into straight drama — although it’s not without its lighter moments.
Since this is fan fiction, and not constrained by the realities of television production, things happen and characters develop. The series is grounded in respect for the core relationships and canon characterizations of the show, but sometimes the effects of an event are permanent.
Stories are presented in chronological order by the date the story takes place.
