    Summary

    Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.

    Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.

    It was a relief, then, when some random New Yorker was thrown into his living room through a portal straight out of some LSD daydream.

    Finally, something interesting to deal with.

    Cue some wild family misunderstandings, criminal conspiracies and cults.

    Because there’s always a goddamn cult.

    She's alone.

    (In which Steve finds Eleven in the winter of ‘83, before Hopper could, and the sudden changes that pull apart his life. Some are far deeper in the bones than he ever could've imagined.)

    It never hurts to Ask you never know what might happen

    Summary

    They say that you can either let the world destroy you or destroy the world. Izuku doesn't know which category he falls into, but he does know that he won't let anyone be hurt like he was hurt if he can help it.

    With unconventional methods, a few broken bones and self-sacrificing attitude, the vigilante dubbed Carbon Cat attempts to balance crime fighting, evading arrest, living alone, and high school. He can't tell which one is the most difficult.

    OR: in which Izuku never receives One For All, becomes a vigilante and tries to keep everyone at an arms length. Doesn't mean they'll let him, though.

    Summary

    ____

    Tim Drake died at seventeen, his family long broken beyond repair.
    A Cuckoo finally rid from the nest.

    But when he wakes up in his time, just a year after the Graysons death and appearance of the first Robin.
    Tim wouldnt let his family suffer again, even if it meant he couldnt join them.

    Bruce Wayne is not "Brucie Wayne"
    Tim Drake is not "Timothy Drake"

    They are both personas, a front to prevent people from looking at whats really under the surface. But sooner or later Tim should have known Gotham being a city of secrets, nothing stays buried forever. Especially not when the bats get involved with their trashy next door neighbor whose behavior seems more and more contradictory.

    Tim had saved them all more times than he could count, maybe this time they could return the favor.

    Summary

    After the world forgot him, Peter kept fighting. He was Spider-Man after all. But as the villains get worse and the heroes dwindle, Peter finally grows tired. Hasn't he done his time? He's never once shirked the responsibility forced upon him. Never once has he put himself first.

    Eventually, the straw breaks the camel's back. Peter finally hangs up the cape.

    Unfortunately the universe seems to disagree. When Peter wakes up in Gotham he knows he should probably find a way home. But what's the point? Normal people don't find their way home across the multiverse, and Peter is normal now. He refuses to be anything else.

    So why do unfamiliar heroes keep ending up on his doorstep? And can he really turn them away?

    --

    In which Peter Parker just wants to retire but instead he becomes a mentor for young dcu heroes and his home becomes a vigilante halfway house

    Summary

    Peter wasn’t going to let May pay the rent all on her own. Not when there was two of them, not when being Spider-Man made everything that much harder.

    And if that meant washing scratched up dishes and scrubbing old blood from the tile grout at Sister Margaret’s School for Wayward Girls, then so be it.

    But then one night, his skin turned blue.

    (If only his problems didn’t multiply from there.)

    Summary

    “What, like—when Cheetahs get emotional support dogs?” Tim still sounds groggy. “I’m your emotional support human?”

    “More like, ’bonded pair, do not separate.’” Kon mutters. “They want me to acclimate to my enclosure.”

    Or: Kon and Tim get kidnapped for display in an alien zoo. They only really wanted Kryptonians, but Kon manages to get the zookeepers to believe the human he came with is necessary for his general well-being.

    It only gets worse from there.

    Summary

    “Oh yeah, hmmm, I'll put that on the to-do list once Batman forges all the paperwork for him and stuff,” Billy says, making a mental note to himself. Then he remembers what he should actually be prioritizing at the moment and immediately turns his full attention to Superboy with an encouraging smile. “Um! So, anyway! Hi, I'm Captain Marvel, it's nice to meet you, Superboy. What's your name? Nobody in the League knew when I asked. I mean, if that's not rude, I don't know if you want Kid Flash and his parents to know it or if you're even ready to tell me yet, sorry, maybe I shouldn't actually have asked.”

    “. . . uh,” Superboy says, looking even more bemused. “It’s Superboy.”

    “. . . oh, okay, so we're just starting totally from scratch here, huh,” Billy realizes, repressing a little wince.

    “Very much so, yes,” Mrs. West says, looking resigned.

    The boy blinks. “The what?”

    Vlad opens up a folder and hands Monoma a flyer and a small pin in the shape of a rat. “It’s a sort of secret society here at UA.

    Or: an excuse to put Monoma and Midoriya together in way too many words 😅

    Summary

    In the kid’s defense, it didn’t look like an intentional grift. Something about the shine in his eyes, or the way he scraped his chucks along the rug like he was burrowing in.

    No, this one didn’t come up with the idea on his own.

    More likely his mama needed a convenient scapegoat for her bastard and a PR-shined billionaire in hotrod red armor was a lot more flattering than Joe-the-out-of-work-stage-hand.

    - - - -

    A story he'd heard dozens of times before, except this one was actually true.

    When Peter Parker turns up, desperate and alone, in the lobby of Stark Tower, it changes everything - Tony's life, relationships, and even the very course of history.

    Or, the Stony-Civil-War-Fix-It nobody asked for, in the form of one very lovable, spider-shaped sprog.

    Summary

    Peter didn’t know what he expected when Doctor Strange did the final spell above the Statue of Liberty (after all, it was hard to imagine a life where his girlfriend and best friend didn’t know him), but it certainly wasn’t to be sent to a whole different universe in a vastly different city with entirely different heroes and vigilantes. He also wasn’t expecting to find an alternate universe version of his biological dad still alive, either, but apparently this was his life now. Whether this was a good or bad thing was still up for debate.

    OR, Peter Parker gets sent to Gotham City in one last attempt by Doctor Strange to keep the multiverse from destroying New York City. The events that follow are interesting, to say the least.

    Summary

    Amity Park doesn't exist. That's the official line.

    On the surface, it would appear that Amity Park truly didn't. But the more Batman digs, the less true that seems. You add the fact that there's an unconscious teenager in the Batcave's Medbay that begged for his help and Batman smells a coverup. Amity Park may not exist on paper, but Batman won't let that stop him from saving it.

    Tucker's on his last legs. The escape out of Amity took everything he had and of all the places to land in, he finds himself in Gotham. Through a bit of creative hacking and desperation, he manages to find the reclusive Batman, only to babble about needing help and passing out at the man's feet. He just has to convince Batman that ghosts exist and that his entire town is in danger. Easy, right?
