    Summary

    "I think, Sister, that we've found a place to truly flourish at Skyhold. Though the threat of the Elder One remains at the forefront, the Inquisition is evolving beyond a military force. I must stay and continue to aid in its endeavors and research, for I believe that the very nature of Thedas is evolving with it.

    "Because of our decision to stay, please, please send a few wardrobes of our clothes. I don't have enough knickers, and Dorian complains daily that he lacks belt variety."

    —From an overheard conversation between Athanis Tilani and Magister Maevaris Tilani, 9:41 Dragon, via sending stone, recorded by Agent Scrivener

    Summary

    Peter knew, not with any real tangible evidence but with a feeling in his gut, that the Neal Caffrey he knew was placed aside on a shelf and swapped out for a stranger when necessary.

     

    He had never expected to meet them.

     

    When the White Collar office receive news of Damian Wayne’s kidnapping, it’s not Neal Caffrey that steps forward ready to do whatever it takes to bring him home.

    .

    AKA. The Joker Takes A Robin While Dick Is Close Enough To Do Something About It And Gets What He Deserves.

    No actual knowledge of White Collar required. God knows I don’t have any. I just thought it would be an interesting outsider POV.

    Summary

    “Is this about Renegade then?” Peter asked quietly. Wilson didn’t answer, but the gleam in his eye seemed to sharpen. Peter’s mind spun, his brain choosing that moment to supply him with a few things the mercenary had said during their earlier conversation.

     

    Neal? Is that what he’s going by these days?

     

    It seems there’s some things you’ve been keeping from me, little bird.

     

    It’s so rare that Renegade has a chance to do anything for his family.

     

    “It’s about Neal,” Peter realized with quickly blooming horror. His heart raced in his chest and suddenly he was a lot more worried about the likelihood of having a heart attack right here and now, “You’ve been looking for him.”

    Summary

    Conrad's just your average 20 year old Crime Alley street-rat. He's no one special. Just another (Second) Robin worshiping, baseball bat wielding, Hench Work avoiding, homeless kid wrangling, street patrolling, Red Hood work for-ing, formally homeless gay street-punk thug.

    And sure, there's that time Robin slammed him off a wall hard enough to change his life, and that time he accused Batman of murder, and the time his sister Joker Gas bombed a playground. And sure, most of his family are active Henchmen for various Rogues, and sure Red Hood seems like he might be flirting with him, and sure despite his best efforts the Bats keep showing up in his life more and more often. But he's still just a normal average guy.

    He also has a crippling Reddit addiction.

    A character study of a hot trashfire of a human being in the DCUniverse as told through his many many Reddit posts.

    Summary

    Dick rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m mostly used to sparring with my little brothers, it’s kind of just habit, and I was having fun. I didn’t want the match to be over too quick.”

    “Too quick?” Derek asked, eyebrows raised. “I’m twice your size, kid.”

    Dick shrugged. “So’s Bruce and we’re pretty much tied at this point, or at least according to the score board the kids started to keep for Saturday spars.”

    “Saturday spars?” Derek repeated, following him towards the locker room.

    Dick flashed him a smile. “What? Don’t have any weird family traditions?”

    “Not ones that include hitting each other,” Derek said

    Summary

    When Madara awoke, he had expected darkness.

    Caught off guard on a mission gone awry, injured, and trapped in a blizzard, he had been easy pickings for a party of Hagoromo Kekeii Genkai traders. Though he put up a fight, it was ultimately useless. He was poisoned, his eyes taken, and then left to bleed out in the snow. He had expected death at best, and blindness at worst.

    He had not expected to wake up in his clan's medical ward, eyes still fixed in his skull, healed, and with a fresh soul mark on his cheek.

    ---

    Somewhere, far past the river that divided their warring lands, Tobirama looked down at his hands with the soul mark that stained them, and his blood turned to ice.

    Summary

    Being told by his idol that he can be a hero was the greatest thing that had ever happened in Midoriya Izuku’s life. In fact, it was so incredible and amazing that it compelled him to do something that he had been taught from an early age to NEVER do. He asked his teacher a question.

    Or: Izuku decides to ask Toshinori to teach him how to use One For All while he’s cleaning up the beach. This prompts Toshinori to realize that he actually can’t really do that. So he reluctantly calls Gran Torino and gets him to help train and supervise Izuku’s ten month American Dream Plan for entering UA.

    Summary

    Siblings Olivia and Matt are transmigrated into Crisis Core era FFVII. Matt is a huge Final Fantasy fan, so when he sees Shinra coming, he runs like hell. Olivia knows nothing about Final Fantasy, so she ends up in Hojo's lab.

    Hojo delivers Olivia into Sephiroth's care, hoping to breed his new alien specimen with his prize SOLDIER. Instead, the two form a deadly alliance.

    ***

     

    The strangest thing about a body like Sephiroth's was that nudity didn't make him more vulnerable.

     

    His hot villain getup was intimidating, for sure. It broadened his shoulders, emphasized his height. But it also added personality, for lack of a better word. Black leather for that cool bad guy vibe. Voluminous skirt on the coat for a regal flare. The harness was clearly a thirst trap. Remove the getup and he was just as threatening but so much harder to read. Scarier, in a lot of ways.

    Summary

    Inana Lavellan can't see most things - not in the waking world, anyway. The Fade is another matter, shining like a beacon just beyond the Veil. She loves the Fade, where everything is clear. Most clear of all is the spirit-teacher she has had for as long as she can remember. He taught her when she was still a child how to interact with spirits without fear. He shows her ancient dreams and memories. He talks with her about magic and philosophy. She has learned so much from him that it hardly even matters that their timelines seem to meet at random, and he doesn't always - or even often - remember who she is.

    Imagine her surprise when her dreams lead her to the Conclave, compassion leads her to the burned-out temple in the wake of the explosion, necessity leads her to begin attempting to close the Breach - and she discovers that the spirit she has known all her life exists in the waking world as a man calling himself Solas.

    Excellent OC - Lavellan has a quiet maturity and perceptiveness that matches well with the way she moves through the world and the results she manages to achieve. And the characterizations of the ensemble of inquisition figures is excellent.

    Summary

    “No.” Tony shook his head, heart beating wild and rapid, the monitors he was hooked up to a cacophony of sound. “You might have missed it, Strange, but last time I tried to prepare the world for what was coming, half the universe died. Why me?” Why not someone else, why not Steve fucking Rogers, the man with the plan, why not Rhodey, why not Pepper, why him?

    “Because you’re a scientist. A futurist. We chose you, Stark. But you have to accept.”

    Tony didn’t want to.

    “You’re going to regret it,” Tony said quietly. The beeping of the monitors had slowed, the panic had faded away leaving only a quiet exhaustion.

    “I don’t think so.” And Strange sounded so sure.

    Tony closed his eyes. He wanted to say no, wanted to let go of the weight of the world that had already crushed him. But he couldn’t do that. Couldn’t do that when Strange had used his last chance to save the world, banking on him. “Alright.” He swallowed hard, forcing himself to nod. “Okay. Send me back.”

    Summary

    After a serious and devastating attack, the Uchiha are in desperate need of a sealmaster. Unfortunately for them, the best candidate happens to be from the Senju clan. Fortunately for them, he doesn't seem all that inclined to act like an enemy.

    Which is lucky because, as it turns out, there are plenty of other adversaries making moves in Fire Country - both the clans will need to make new friends to survive.

    Madara would have been content if his new husband tolerated him and helped his clan stay safe. He doesn't quite know what to do with the fact that his husband doesn't stop there.

    Ch 3: Passion, yet Serenity (teaching a teenaged Anakin, good grief)

    And he put it on.

    "I'm up to exactly what you put me up to," echoed a cheerful voice in his head. "Creating a sensible framework for a new society of magical people to replace the currently prevalent chaos."

    Summary

    "There's nothing left here in this moment, Kisuke I have no more miracles left but you- and you are everything. My final hope and my last revelation. I have lost but I cannot let you fall with me." Ichigo murmurs softly, his fingers wipe the tears dripping past Kisuke's sunken cheeks.

    Something cold settles in his belly- a visceral fear he hasn't felt in forever.

    Because something about this, the way Ichigo traces his figure with desperate eyes, it reeks of a final goodbye. Something about this moment is tragic and horrific and Kisuke's instincts have never failed him before.

    "Ichigo what are you-"

    Ichigo moves before he can finish the sentence, pulling him into a searing kiss, it tastes overwhelmingly of salt. The aftertaste left behind from the tears hanging between them, unaddressed. It tastes of love, the weight of Ichigo's adoration leaving him breathless in its intensity. Kisuke clutches onto him, desolate.

    With a desperate sob, Ichigo pulls back, "You said I've never done anything that has required an apology from you, I'm sorry Kisuke, this might just be the point where you draw the line."

    Before he can reply, before he can even blink- Kisuke is unmade.
