Summary
They were all broken, in their own ways, jagged and sharp edges that felt harsher still against the backdrop of trying to return to a normal life. But somehow, those sharp edges seemed to fit together perfectly, like a puzzle made of lives. This is how they put themselves back together, and learned how to live again.

Summary
Waking up in a cart, with her hands tied and her memories gone, wasn't Siyima's idea of a good time. Neither, for that matter, was nearly being executed, or having to run for her life from an oversized lizard. In fact, none of this was her idea of a good time, she so did not sign up for this. Too bad no one thought to ask her before they went and made her the Dragonborn.

Summary
Twenty years ago, Midoriya Hisashi walked out on his wife and Quirkless child. Three days ago, Midoriya Inko received a phone call informing her of his demise and when his funeral would take place.
Sometimes you're a 25 year old war veteran, making a difference one day at a time in a post-All For One Japan that's still feeling the repercussions of your high school days. Other times you're simply the forgotten child of a deadbeat, left to clean up your father's messes because he was too much of a coward to take any responsibility.
And now, you're a full time big brother, because the biggest mess left behind was the child your father replaced you with.
Now with a TV Tropes page!

His Soul is Marching On to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai by CabbagePreacher

Summary
The land of Gemeinplatz is a land filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers looking to slay them, and heroes looking to distinguish themselves from the adventurers. The most common of these heroes are those who come from Earth, who enjoy a most leisurely time with their cheat skills. It’s a perfect world, the utopia of those who wish to become overpowered and get their own power fantasy, where even the most everyman of the everyman can pull themselves by their bootstraps and become a hero.
To satisfy the needs of heroes who can’t find function like a normal human being (which most of them can’t), the lucrative Gemeinplatz slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. These slaves endlessly labor, in the harems of so-called heroes, at the mansions of the landowning “heroes”, and as rare materials for various dubious magical spells.
In a world that looks down at them as demi-human, where the ruling class has no incentive to end this profitable trade, in which their oppressors are overpowered as all hell, what hope is there for the slaves?
What hope is there, is named John Brown. This time, he’ll finish what he started.

Summary
Rubbing his hands over his face, Aang fell against Appa to take comfort in his fluff. “And it’s been a hundred years? That’s- I can’t believe- Wait, then why have you been looking for me, uh, for the Avatar?”
This was a pivotal moment and it needed to be handled with finesse, care, and the truth if there was any hope of Aang agreeing to work with him. Yes, Zuko could do this.
Aang wakes up from the ice and the story starts as we all know it. But instead of a Fire Nation cruiser crashing into Katara and Sokka's village, a small sailing boat lands on their shore. How will Hui the Yangchen Scholar change the coming events?

Summary
“It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights,
It’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight!”The manor ought to have been silent as the grave when Bruce returned, so it caught him by surprise when he heard a familiar jingle drifting through the empty halls. He paused at the foot of the grand staircase, head tilted to the side as he listened to the Muppet Show theme song jangling away happily. It sounded like it was coming from the first floor, which meant the most likely origin was Dick's bedroom. Which would be fine, if it also wasn't almost three am.
*
What do you do when you come home late and find the orphan you've taken guardianship of is crying alone in his room watching the Muppets?
You sit your brooding ass down and join him.
And if you later end up on a talk show with said Muppets and end up embroiled in a running gag about your playboy persona being in a throuple with Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, well, it's not like anyone's ever going to believe you're Batman now...Based on the Tumblr shitpost.
