    Summary

    What does it mean to come back to life as an accidental wrinkle in the fabric of reality? Jason Todd might not know the meaning of life, but he does figure out the meaning of his life, somewhere in between killing the Joker and ringing the doorbell to Wayne Manor.

    Or, a canon-divergent take of Lost Days and Countdown to Final Crisis, where Under the Red Hood doesn’t happen.

    Summary

    A dome of green surrounded him and the boy, thrumming with magic the likes of which he had only seen once, in a tome thrice forbidden.

    “Oh,” said Loki, almost purring. “You are interesting. What are you?”

    Based on ideas from thatgirl_youknowtheone.

    Summary

    “What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”

    And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.

    “I want to go to college.”

    And Talia had made that happen for him.

    (AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

    Summary

    Spider-Man always hit the attempted rapists the hardest.

    This was not due to some kind of personal connection.

    It wasn't.

    Summary

    "Kid," says Tony Stark wearily, "Please gimme a reason Loki's been spotted talking to Spiderman that isn't 'I wanted to be his friend'. Please. Tell me you can do that."

    Peter hums. "I could?"

    "And that reason would be the truth?"

    Peter shrugs into his sweater. "If you wanted it to be the truth it could be."

    "That right there, that right there, is why I know it's gonna be a lie."

     

    ***

    Peter befriends Loki, and then some.
