Summary
“Potter, Harry.”
There was a moment of silence before the Hall burst into noise, everyone whispering something or another. Blaise and Ron nudged him forwards, and he stepped up to the hat like he was walking to his death.
He would know. He had experience in that department.
He scooched onto the chair, wincing when it squeaked, and took a deep breath in.
The hat slid over his head.
“Mr. Potter, I’ve been waiting for you for some time-”
A pause.
“You have been here before.”
OR
Harry Potter was looking forward to a world without Voldemort in it; or at least a world with a chance of defeating him, but when he's unceremoniously thrown back in time by forces beyond his understanding, he's sure as hell not going to let this second chance go to waste.

Summary
He remembers watching Hero News broadcasts when he was a kid. He would sit on his bed, sinking into the mattress and pressing a pillow to his chest. His mother didn't understand why he wasn't frightened to see the rubble of fallen buildings, to hear the witness accounts of the scene and watch villains rampage through the city. But the answer was simple; he knew that a hero would be there to save the day. And he knew that when he grew up, he would be there to save others' days; that was what heroes did, after all.
And he is a hero now. He’s Deku.
But he still doesn't know how to save people.
OR
Izuku stays up late to think.
Aizawa joins him.

Summary
The air around him was suffocating.
Tiny particles of dust floated past him, either remnants of the fight they’d just bombed, or the flesh of the fallen - the price of their failure for all to see.
He shifted slightly, and he winced as the blade in his abdomen moved with him. The nanoparticles sealing up his wound weren’t made to last for long periods of time - they were only meant to stave off death until he could get to a hospital, or a half-decent first aid kit. He could only hope that one of the ships had medical supplies on board.
He tried to stand, and tripped, landing on his side which only served to aggravate his wound further. He lay there for a second, panting, then took a deep breath, and went to stand up again.
“He did it.”
OR
Tony Stark would do absolutely anything to get Peter back. (Including, but not limited to time travel.)
(Was that JARVIS?)

Summary
Death moved closer, their footsteps echoing eerily throughout the chamber. They leaned in and reached out, their bony cold hands grasping his chin and tracing over the edges of his features, hardened by years of war.
“I find myself liking you, Harry Potter.”
OR
Harry Potter sits on a bench in King's Cross Station, and he chooses life. It turns out that he chose a lot more life than he was expecting.
His first goal? Defeating Voldemort with no causalities. After that? Well. That's up in the air.

Summary
Tim is grateful Hood leaves promptly, in any case, because that means he doesn’t see Tim crawl the last few feet into his house.
[Jack and Janet die uneventfully— at the hands of a home intruder, at 3:41 in the morning on a Thursday. Two gunshots. Tim’s entire world comes to a screeching halt at 3:44, when he finds their bodies.]

Summary
It all started, Jason will later consider, when someone finally went and killed the Joker. Everything else sort of snowballed from there.
Or, maybe, it all started when a commie artist decided to up and open a homeless shelter slash commune in Gotham.
Or, maybe,it all started when Jason went and laid his fool eyes on those forearms and that jawline and didn’t immediately run for the fucking hills. Yeah. Yeah, that seems about right.

Summary
The wind whips around, rapid, and sharp with sand and grit.
Tim can’t see—there’s so much dust trapped between his eyelids that he can hardly tell if they’re even closed or not. It burns and stings, it fills his lungs, and all he can think about is his body, buried under a new dune of sand, and his family, so many miles away, not even thinking to look for him there.And just as suddenly, the sun and sand and howling winds are gone.
-----
In which the universe takes pity on Tim, just once, if it even was the universe at all.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (filling up my coffee cup) by LilaVaporizer9000

Summary
There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.
Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.
Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.
Or:
Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.
Tim hates mystical artifacts.
(Alternate universe Better Batfam trope)
