Summary
Your life is gray, quiet, forgettable - you work an office job you hate and live in an old, tiny apartment you can barely afford in a shitty neighborhood.
Your neighbor, Mr. Riley, is cold, quiet and impossible to read. He helps out a few times - carrying heavy boxes, fixing things - but never sticks around long enough for a thank you that he doesn't even seem to want. Every conversation ends in silence, every interaction feels wrong.
Then his face appears on the news. He's not just unfriendly - he's a wanted fugitive, linked to multiple murders and armed robberies for which he wore a skull mask to hide his identity.
Shaken but relieved he's gone, you try to move on. Until the news breaks that he has escaped.

Summary
Sakura is lost, injured and alone in a forest far from home. The circumstances that led up to this are much less clear. A mysterious mental fog blankets her mind, impenetrable and obfuscating her memories.
After scouring the land, she arrives at the horrifying conclusion that she’s been transported back in time to the Warring States era. Incredibly out of her depth, she has to navigate the old nation’s dangerous climate without becoming ensconced within their politics – a feat easier said than done, for a clan-less kunoichi.
It's just her luck that the Uchiha start sprouting from the woodwork. It seems she can't escape them, no matter what century she's in.

Summary
"The woman’s lived with the clan longer than Madara’s been alive. When he’s born, she’s the one who oversees his delivery, though she wasn’t trusted enough to participate herself. When he’s three years old and skins his knee, she’s the one who kneels in the mud, uncaring of the state of her kimono, and heals him.
When his brother Izuna is born, she stands in the corner and oversees it. When the process is over and Mother is resting, Madara asks Father why she didn’t help."
(In which Sakura strives to break the Curse of Hatred through sheer kindness - and it works)

Summary
Midoriya Izuku does in fact know the difference between right and wrong, no matter what anyone else tries to tell you. Does he steal from time to time? Yes. Being fourteen and homeless is a difficult feat and he'll take all the help he can get. Lying? He's been there, done that. It's a necessity if he wants to keep up his current lifestyle.
Life was going smoothly, all things considered. Right up until the point where he gets busted for stealing classified information and lies about being a psychic to cover his ass. Now he's somehow been marked as a wanted vigilante, which surprisingly isn't an unwelcome change in his daily routine. All he has to do to stop it from crashing down around him is keep this ever growing lie from unraveling.
If only he could keep his story straight.

Summary
In the weeks since his parents' death, his take over as CEO of Drake Industries, and basically a complete upheaval of life as he knows it, Tim Drake has been doing everything he can to gain the approval of his company, the press, and the general public. Easy, right?
Except, apparently, there's something more sinister going on beneath DI's shiny veneer. And now Tim's fighting for his life literally, not just metaphorically. Good thing the Bats are there to protect him. But why are these people so interested in his life? Seriously, don't they have better things to do? So long as Tim makes it out alive and the Bats never find out he knows their secret, everything will be fine. Too bad nothing ever goes right for Tim.OR
Tim Drake is a super badass CEO/detective/genius, but even the most resourceful of 16-year-olds needs some help when a crime lord wants them dead.

When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.

"Where's your pops?" Terry shouted down the sidewalk.
"Dunno," Jason said. "Haven't seen him in a week. I stopped goin' lookin' for him a long time ago."
Hell, Jason was happy with the man's absence. Maybe it would stick, this time.
"He owes me fifty bucks." Terry, closer to Jason now, was still shouting.
Jason spun around and started walking backwards. "What'a'ya know," he said. "Me too."

AU where Jason is seventeen, his parents are alive, he works nights at a convenience store, and everything is about to go to shit.Series

Summary
Despite having operated in Gotham for three years, Crow is a mystery to everyone. Tiny, silent, emotionless, and seemingly omnipresent, he seems to be inescapable for the criminals of Gotham. Even more terrifying, no one knows who he is: not Batman, not Oracle, and certainly not the Red Hood.
That doesn't stop others from growing attached, however, and every vigilante in Gotham wants what's best for Crow. Too bad none of them agree on what that is.

Summary
There’s something living in the wood shed.
With winter fast approaching it’s not surprising for animals to take shelter there. Last year he’d played host to a family of opossums nesting in the back corners.
He isn’t sure what’s taken up residence this year, though. After noticing his new neighbor he left out food and water, both of which were untouched the next day. But whatever is in there is coming and going. Through the latched door, even. Which signals a level of intelligence beyond the usual woodland creature. A stray kobold? Or a goblin? He guesses and leaves food suitable for either. It remains untouched.
That’s when his curiosity gets the better of him.
Or, Local hermit druid finds a vampire in his shed and decides to adopt it as he would any other wounded animal. As one does.

Summary
Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.
Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)
And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.
Sort of.

“I’m going to ask you a question and I need you to tell the truth for me. Is that okay?” Nightwing asked softly.
Tim nodded.
“Have you heard of Alvin Draper before?”
Before he could stop himself Tim was taking in a sharp breath that sounded almost pained.
One of his men must have talked, he supposed that’s what you got when you hire anyone who’s interested, but it still hurt. Maybe he should create proper profiles on all of them once this is done so he can deduce who’s trustworthy and who isn’t.
“No,” Tim said, although he was aware how obviously it was a lie.
Or: Tim accidentally becomes a crime lord.

Tim Drake and Conner Kent get thrown into the MHA universe at full speed.
They adjust rather quickly.-
"Gummy?" He looked over at Kon questioningly while Recovery Girl went to her desk. "You didn't mention that to me after your exams."
Kon scratched his cheek.
"It's for raising your blood sugar, her quirk makes it drop so she gives you a way to raise it quickly." He explained before Recovery Girl could. "She's partial to hero shaped gummies."
Tim hummed. A small packet of All Might gummies hit him between the eyes before he could catch it.
"Have a nice day, Dears!"
