Summary
Callie dreamed of war, as she always did.
---
Ever since she was a kid, Callie Menkin has dreamed of golden knights and twilight women. When she finds herself in a world full of magic and monsters, gods and ghosts, she realises that maybe her dreams were not so much dreams, but prophecy.
Arrested for a murder she didn't commit, her new life is threatened by those that wish to destroy it. Delving into the depths of hell, she must fight for the life she created away from the man that hurt her, and both her sword arm and her heart are put to the test.
She stands in the shadow of the Sun's Companion, but she is finally stepping into the light.

Summary
Cassandra was born in a cult. She was raised in a cult. She escaped a cult.
Now she’s expected to face another cult, unaffiliated but with similar beliefs. Not only that, but apparently there is not one, but three prophecies about her and the Emperor’s illegitimate son.
Can she figure out how to save Martin without either dying? Can she stop the Oblivion Crisis? Can she escape the ever looming presence of her original home?

Summary
Jael Sevarine, noblewoman, necromancer, disgraced Grand Wizard, and now prisoner is probably not the ideal hero to be haunting the dreams of Uriel Septim.
Honestly, it's just a bit hard to believe that the late Emperor really saw the sun's companion in her face. Sure, her skillset will likely help her sail through whatever the Gods see fit to throw at her but they must have developed a sense of humor to send a practitioner of the black arts to fight off a Daedric invasion.
She may be capable of saving the world, but she is also not entirely sure that she has any business doing so. She definitely has no business being a symbol of hope or a hero to the people. She most certainly has no business falling for the man set to inherit the empire, but of course, it seems that Jael is up to all sorts of things she has no business doing lately.
The Gods may have it out for her, and it may be written in the stars themselves that any great romance between the Hero of Kvatch and Martin Septim is doomed to end in tragedy, but it seems that one crucial mistake has been made.
The Gods sent a necromancer to do an adventurer's job.

Summary
“Jason?” he breathed, low and incredulous, blue eyes widening in shining awe that lit up like a sun in the darkness of the alley.
“Nope. Never met a Jason in my life. What a lame name,” Jason blurted.
Then he ran.
Instead of becoming Gotham’s most feared crime lord, Jason goes to university. Then he goes home.
It’s all going well until he accidentally saves Gotham’s golden child, Dick Grayson, from a mugging. Emphasis on accidentally.

Fresh Hell And A New Tomorrow, or How James Norrington Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb by captain_starcat for kayliemalinza

Summary
After his fatal sacrifice on the Flying Dutchman on the way to Shipwreck Cove, James Norrington, formerly Commodore of His Majesty’s Royal Navy and more recently Admiral of the East India Trading Company, didn’t expect to wake up ever again.
Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened.
Now that he’s alive again (as near as he can tell), he has a whole host of new and interesting problems to face, from mysterious goddess-given responsibilities, to the growing spectre of a reforming EITC, to the simple, messy reality of living with the side he chose. And of course, when has James’ suffering ever been complete without the interference of the world’s worst—and most annoying—pirate?
Honestly, life would've been so much easier if he'd stayed dead...

Summary
Jason Todd has a plan.
He has a plan to protect those in the East End of Gotham who he loves. All he has to do is destabilise Black Mask's empire and become the new Crime lord of Gotham. A task which isn't as easy as it looks on paper. As Jason's priorities shift, Batman and his brightly coloured proteges becomes a side-note in his plan.
Despite this they seem to pop up awfully often.
Especially when they slowly decide one by one that the Red Hood is friend shaped. Honestly its not great for his street rep.
Oh and there is always the matter of the Joker to be considered.

Summary
There were very few things Jason hadn't seen, done, or experienced at some point in his life. He'd been a victim and a villain, a hero and a mindless weapon. He killed and had been killed, only to claw his way from the grave. He witnessed gods bleed and children topple empires.
Therefore, when Jason woke up disoriented and alone on an Earth without Gotham or the Justice League, where demons like him had never existed or been driven extinct long ago, he wasn't surprised. Stressed maybe, and beyond pissed, but the idea of a multiverse was old hat to him. He just had to maintain his accidental cover as an alien, keep SHIELD out of his business, fend off well-meaning but insufferably nosy Avengers, dodge amateur kidnapping attempts, and hunt down what or whoever took him from his home. Y'know. Simple things.
Meanwhile in Gotham, the Bats prepare for war.

Summary
Jason Todd has an absolutely shit life.
That's about it. His life has been shit since he could walk. Then he got picked up by Batman while trying to boost his tires. But it's Batman so it's cool right? absofuckinglutely not. Because he gets beat up, shot, electrocuted, kidnapped, and tortured. Then he gets blown up. Then he claws his way out of his grave. Then he ends up in the Lazarus Pit. Then he's back in the city that raised and killed him. He's the Red Hood. Life is bearable. He can breathe. Then kids start disappearing off the street and suddenly the Bats want in on his investigation. He cant stand being around them. But. They have resources. What's the worst that could happen? He's already died once and it probably can't get much worse than that.
(it definitely can).Completely self indulgent fanfiction where I write Jason's life exactly how I want while cramming in as much pain and angst and hurt and injuries and crying and screaming and hugs and blood as humanly possible. I mean like every chapter Jason's probably gonna be bleeding out and dying in an alley or something idk

He did not expect "Bent", the (wildly unconvincing) porter. But... he's not exactly opposed.

Summary
Bruce returned to the Batmobile, only to see the figure from before crouched down unscrewing the bolts on the fourth tire.
He stumbled, almost falling over at the familiarity of it because Jason did the same thing and he’s not here anymore and it’s too much and he might fall over because Bruce misses him so goddamn much-
And then the figure looked up and flashed a crooked grin before jokingly stating
“Goddamnit B, you never could let me get to that fourth tire.”

And so he does.

Summary
After the fiasco in Siberia, Tony let them all go. She kept track of them, but she let them run free and do whatever they wanted. She took the time to put herself back together, to do damage control, and to think. So much got said and undone, and more than anything she needed to think about how she wanted to go forward concerning Barnes and everything he'd done.
That's all interrupted by a cargo hold full of Asgardians with Thor and Loki at the helm seeking refuge on Earth. Naturally, the only person around to help them is Tony, and that's exactly what she does. It's to her surprise and his credit when Loki approaches her, subdued with gratitude, and offers her one extravagant magical favour in return for the months worth of fighting she's done to establish a home for the Asgardians.
With Loki's gift in the forefront of her thoughts, she turns back to the issue of Barnes, and she thinks she might have a solution.
