Unwilling Batson by Lyneidas

Summary
Billy Batson has been taking care of himself for a couple of years now and feels like he's doing pretty well at it. Sure, the foster families he's been stuck with whenever CPS catches him have been uniformly disappointing. And the Captain Marvel part of his life keeps creeping into more and more of his Billy Batson time. But overall, things are great! If only he hadn't had a little accident and wound up in the hospital just when some guy from Gotham who thinks he's Billy's father came looking for him, he'd be fine. And isn't that timing just a little bit suspicious? Sure, CPS seems to believe the man's story, but they don't have the best track record for placing Billy in safe homes. At least he knows how to make portals now. No one can keep him where he doesn't want to be!
Meanwhile, Bruce and Alfred are extremely pleased to have such a pleasant, polite child join the family. Except that he keeps winding up back in Fawcett City, and they can’t figure out how.- Language:

Summary
Aizawa Shōta just wants to keep the city safe as an underground pro-hero, teach his students enough so that they don't end up murdered (by villains or by one another), and get enough rest that he does not feel like he's dying from exhaustion on a daily basis. Between the arduous tasks of grading papers, biting off more than he can chew with his missions, experiencing feelings that clash with logic, and becoming the target of three distinct drug cartels, what does a man have to do in order to accomplish those goals and set a proper example of how to be an unpraised pro-hero?

Summary
Someone had opened the window. The darkness outside clawed at the windowsill.
He should close it.
Instead, he made his way towards the bed. His strength was fading fast. He collapsed on top of his comforter, curling into himself. Hugging himself, like he had done when he had been much younger. A habit that had come back ever since Mystra had left him. Something settled next to him.
“Gale.”
He blinked into the darkness. Nothing there but the shadows reaching through his window.OR: After the events of Act 2 the gang make their way towards Baldur's Gate, stumble upon a side quest of sorts and get more than they bargained for.
An adventure gone wrong between act 2 and 3, mild spoiler up until the end of act 2. Very mild, tho.
More of a character study of the wizard and his emotions towards his goddess, the orb and his new companions.Bookmarked by Grinkleton

Summary
Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst, Greg, Yellow, and Blue—they've all lost someone. Lovers and daughters and friends and family, and that's not a wound you easily come back from.
If at all.
But this isn't an 'if at all' kind of story.It's a story about a sickly, little kid named Steven and his ever-growing surrogate family.
It's a story about the kind of boy who'd extend a flower and a smile to a sad stranger he meets at a cemetery. Human AU.

Summary
Edward guts him with his eyes, with his glare. He looks distressingly close to tears.
“I’m not letting go of you.” Edward squeezes Roy’s wrist until it hurts. Until Edward’s adrenaline and fear shake down Roy’s skin and sink into his bones. “S-So stop—stop being a dumbass and help me—”
The kid’s voice finally breaks open, raw and wet and scared. It strikes Roy’s core deeper than any bullet. Any knife.
Any impact.
Ed’s glare comes down on him fiercely. Roy is about to earn it.
A mission goes very, very wrong.

You can't take it anymore. It's not the truth, you try to say, but you only get the first word out before your hands both snap over the rest, more forcefully than ever before because this is outright defiance. "P?"

You can't stop fighting - you've never stopped fighting -
