Summary
The artifact glowed in Kenobi’s hands, consuming his entire body in a brilliant crystal blue. Dooku watched—half horrified, half entranced—as the box split open, the brush of the unifying force breathing in sync with the living. "A single touch from a single soul creates an unimaginable shift in the force," the descriptions of the artifact had uttered. The words couldn’t even begin to describe the shift in the air, the impenetrable tick of gears turning. And then, almost as soon as it began, the swirling blue light tucked itself back into the artifact with a soft hiss, leaving behind a man who was nothing like the general Dooku knew.
Standing in front of him was a young Jedi Knight who looked very much afraid.
“Grandmaster?” Obi-Wan whispered.
Or in other words: During the late Clone Wars, Obi-Wan accidentally touches an ancient Jedi artifact, which transports his grieving Post-Naboo self into the future to take his place. Somehow this saves the galaxy.

Summary
When the woman was four blocks away, she stopped running and looked up at Batwoman and Black Bat on the roof, the wisps of the black cloud that had been surrounding her dissipating in an instant. The three woman were motionless, staring at each other. Batwoman broke the silence, muttering quietly. "What the hell? There's no way she spotted us, it's a new moon." Black Bat's hand drifted towards her grappling hook and the woman suddenly took off down a side alley, away from the two of them.
Skitter gets transported to Gotham after Gold Morning, and has to deal with a new city, and the new heroes and villains that reside there.

Summary
In unearthing the Nomu Factory, the Heroes and police of Japan discovered a body. This was not unexpected, but the nationality and uniform of the corpse in question… that was. Because this failed Nomu wore the uniform of Amestris, a war torn nation from the isolated continent of Atossa, where Quirks and modern electronics had never developed and never worked.
Edward Elric hoped he could retire from military service in peace, traveling Amestris while his brother Alphonse went to Xing. This is put on hold when now-Führer Mustang asks him to travel to the Outside, to the world beyond that was barricaded for centuries after the development of something called ‘Quirks’. A soldier has been killed and Amestris needs to know more about the Outside.
…
Or, Edward Elric and Amestris meet the greater world of Heroes and Villains. It remains to be seen who’s more traumatized by the encounter.

Summary
Izuku Midoriya and Hitoshi Shinso are never going to be the kind of heroes that make civilains think ‘oh, thank god we’re saved,’ when they arrive at the scene. There's too much prejudice against them, so a kid with a villain quirk and one with no quirk at all are never going to be able to inspire that sort of trust.
So instead of becoming heroes that bring hope, they decide to become the next best thing.
The kind of heroes that make villains think, ‘oh, fuck, we’re screwed.’
This fic has a discord.

Summary
He’s a few feet away from UA’s gates when he proceeds to trip over his somehow magically untied shoelace and stub his toe roughly on a rock. He thinks, Fuck my life, as he hops around in a miserable, one-footed circle of pain.
He proceeds to almost fall over as a voice that is definitely not his echoes in his mind. What?
What? Izuku thinks back automatically, just as baffled as the voice.
Who... the voice stammers. It’s masculine but young, maybe somewhere around Izuku’s age. Izuku and the voice appear to have the same realisation at the same time.
There’s someone in my head! -dammit what was that demon’s Art?- oh my gosh how the hell- wouldn’t it be cancelled when I killed him? Is this a curse?- stupid snack runs, I’m never leaving my room again. What quirk would even- what is going on?
- - -or, Izuku gets hit by a quirk that sticks a person in his head. It's not as fun as it sounds.

Summary
The cat is in the closed box, with a 50% chance of being alive and a 50% chance of being dead. According to the principle of uncertainty in quantum physics, he is alive and dead until someone opens the box.
Izuku doesn't want to open the box.
OR
Izuku didn’t return home after school. Two months later he was found roaming a deserted road with white hair, psychogenic amnesia and a quirk out of control.
Nothing is the same after that. -

Summary
As a final stand in a war they never stood a chance of winning, Uzumaki Naruto chooses to use a forbidden blood seal to rip through the fabric of space and time itself rather than admit defeat. He has never been good at accepting his fate, and if bending reality with his own two hands is what it takes, then that’s just what Naruto will do.
The rest of the world is just going to have to suck it up and deal with it.
[OR]
“A time travel seal,” Sakura says numbly, staring at him with wide eyes and a slack jaw once she finally comprehends the excited tirade he has just finished throwing at her.
“A time travel seal,” Naruto confirms, grinning with a mouth full of teeth, eyes manic.
Sasuke sighs, immediately giving up on trying to make sense of anything that comes out of Naruto’s mouth. “Of-fucking-course.”

Summary
When Abbadon passed by all those years before, he left behind a present. Instead of Queen Administrator, Taylor Hebert is now host to another shard altogether. And everyone who ever wronged her is in deep trouble.
1) This story is set in the Wormverse, which is owned by Wildbow. Thanks for letting me use it.
2) I will follow canon as closely as I can. If I find something that canon does not cover, I will make stuff up. If canon then refutes me, I will revise. Do not bother me with fanon; corrections require citations.
3) I welcome criticism of my works, but if you tell me that something is wrong, I also expect an explanation of what is wrong, and a suggestion of how to fix it. Note that I do not promise to follow any given suggestion.
