Summary
Following the arrest of the Drs Fenton, Bruce takes Danny home as his newest ward. It's nothing he hasn't done before.
Danny presents some unique challenges - his inhuman physiology, his parents' in-progress trial, the scope and magnitude of his abilities - but he's still a child like any other. Any of Bruce's, anyway.

Summary
I turn around, and slam my forehead into the deck as I fall to my knees. “Please, god, I know the last time we talked I told you to suck an egg but what the actual fuck. What did I do? Is this because of the gay thing? I’ll stop I swear I’ll knock it off just please—”
“What are you talking about? Why were you swimming all the way out here? What’s with your weird clothes?” The Boy, whom I refuse to name on principle, starts rapid fire shooting out questions while wiggling his way across the tiny boat to me.
“This is actually happening. Oh my god this is real, what the shit…” I turn around from my position on the floor to see The Boy crouched inches from my face. I give an undignified yelp and scramble as far back as I can without tipping over the edge.
He gives me that bright grin and announces “I’m Monkey D. Luffy! I’m gonna be King of the Pirates!” Then he cocks his head to the side. “Who’re you?”

Summary
Jaskier is the fourth son of the minor noble house of Pankratz. He has always wanted to leave Lettenhove to explore, but is limited by the expectations that come with his station. When his parents betroth him to a Duke, he thinks it might be his chance to see the world, and let the world see him, and hear his music.
He sets out on a sea voyage to meet his new husband, but before he ever arrives, the vessel is set upon by pirates. Captain Rience has reasons to leave Jaskier as the sole survivor, and none of them are good.
The thing Rience has forgotten, the only thing pirates have to fear on the high seas.....are other pirates.

Summary
Inspiration taken from @Home-of-Renn's post here:
"Danny's in his last year of high school, only a month away from graduating. No more overdue assignments or late-night cram sessions. No more crowded hallways and after-school detentions. No more stress.He's so close he can almost taste it.
But then Dani shows up, injured and whimpering and collapsing into his lap.
He may or may not have scared the daylights out of a few lower years and almost body-slammed Dale trying to get Dani out the door and to the nearest location with first aid supplies. So what if he spent almost an hour holed up with Dani in the nurse's office patching her up while Mr Lancer and the paramedics he called tried to coax him into unlocking the door. So what if his Obsession slipped up after not seeing Dani for more than six months, only to have her show up looking ready to destabilise and melt into a puddle of goo.
The worst part of it all is that suddenly everyone's got the wrong idea."

Summary
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.
There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.
“Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

Summary
{Hey, Matchstick. Can we burn this birdbrain’s tail feathers?} The Lord of the Underworld asked.
‘No. No, we cannot, Lord Bonfire.’ You respond mentally with exhaustion while replying aloud to Headmaster Crowley. “Thank you for providing me shelter.”
{No, no. Hades, for once, has a very brilliant suggestion. This...Crowley...is going to make us stay at this rundown, pest-infested piece of despicable trash...!} Queen Grimhilde hisses in your head. You want to slam your forehead against a wall, hopefully knocking yourself out in the process. Instead, you follow Headmaster Crowley into the deteriorating dorm while Queen Grimhilde continues. {But we should let him suffer first--slowly. Vessel, you should concoct a poison for Crowley. I shall assist you.}
You are so tired at this point.
~~
In which the Reader is from an alternate timeline of Twisted Wonderland, where there was a great war against Chernabog the Devil. In this slightly different timeline, the Reader finds out that the Great Seven are seen as magnificent, respected wizards by many in the land...and there was no war. The Reader just wants to sleep for a decade at this point, but Fate had other plans for them.

Series: Part 1 of The Dreamweaver
Summary:Many things are different and many are the same as Harry begins his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Here, living with Dursleys that aren't just neglectful but outright abusive made Harry unable to withstand more than a few weeks of Trelawney's "predictions" back in his third year. Instead, he took Ancient Runes, and uncovered that he had a prodigious knack for runic magic, which opened the door to the darkest of rituals and the magic of mind and soul. A year later, Harry uncovered something horrible within himself - a parasite.
So, when Voldemort sends him dreams of corridors and doors, Harry sends him pieces of hell in return.

Series: Part 2 of The Dreamweaver
Summary:Harry tore his eyes away from the man on the catwalk. The merry party of wizards were advancing on him with Moody at the helm, leaving Uncle Vernon to smoulder a few metres away. He was asked if he was ready to go, which he didn't respond to. He simply let Moody's gnarly, root-like hand clamp onto his shoulder and lead him away.
They followed all the way to Uncle Vernon's Mercedes. Some of them gave Harry hugs while other whispered reassurances that they'd see each other again soon. That the weeks would fly by and that they would come to get him before he knew it. But Harry knew very well that he was doomed. He knew that this would be the last he ever saw of any of them.
***
Fewer things are the same now, in this summer of 1996, though a few things will remain the same. This is Part Two of the Dreamweaver series.

Summary
Upon his arrival in Gotham, Jason knew he needed to take down a drug organisation silently killing people on the street. An apartment complex at the outskirts of Crime Alley was the perfect place to do so.
Except there's a strange boy from the room next door who likes to steal his doormat, leave stupid notes on his front door, and eat takeout on his couch uninvited. And is also possibly involved in criminal activity—what’s a rich kid doing alone in Crime Alley running from the drug ring’s henchmen, and how does he have personal contact with half of the Gotham rogues?
It’s all very annoying. Jason doesn’t care about the kid at all, nope, not one bit.
—
Or how Jason and Tim becoming neighbours again (and eventually roommates) somehow leads to them becoming brothers.

So fucking amazing. The moment I finished the game I knew I wanted exactly this. Sat on this for months but finally allowed myself to indulge in something that's AWOL. It was absolutely and completely worth it. I recommend this 100 times, it is perfectly satisfying despite what the completion status might imply

Summary
Jaskier is the fourth son of the minor noble house of Pankratz. He has always wanted to leave Lettenhove to explore, but is limited by the expectations that come with his station. When his parents betroth him to a Duke, he thinks it might be his chance to see the world, and let the world see him, and hear his music.
He sets out on a sea voyage to meet his new husband, but before he ever arrives, the vessel is set upon by pirates. Captain Rience has reasons to leave Jaskier as the sole survivor, and none of them are good.
The thing Rience has forgotten, the only thing pirates have to fear on the high seas.....are other pirates.

On the eight day they had turned away from the coast, making their way into open sea to cut days off their journey. The shortcut across the open waters should have been straightforward.
