Summary
“No comment.”
“You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”
Bruce gave him a flat look.
“Or maybe I think I can help.”
“With a case of vandalism?”
Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”
“And what makes you say that?”
“If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”
“Is that so?”
“That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”
Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

Summary
Lex Luthor has Superman’s DNA, but can’t seem to produce a viable clone. In a last ditch effort, he injects himself with a serum made from Kryptonian cells to gain Superman’s powers… and accidentally knocks himself up in the process. This wasn’t in his original plan for world domination, in fact it might actually kill him, but he’s fueled by pure hate and alien hormones to make the most of it. On the plus side, he’s finally got a way to get Superman’s attention.
This is entirely inspired by the moment the Fortress of Solitude opens for Lex and I had to stop myself from whispering “he’s pregnant…” in the theater. I have no one to talk to about this.

Summary
Lex doesn't know what he finds more irritating; that his nemesis who he sometimes has casual sex with assumes he has every right to thoroughly interfere with a routine targeted assassination attempt against him, or that he would probably be just as invested if it happened to almost anyone else.

Summary
“So when you cast the spell, all I’ll need to do is pick a memory with Foggy as a starting point?”
“Not quite,” said Stephen. He ran his fingers over the spellbook pages, and took a deep breath. “You’ll need to pick a moment when you were with him right before he died—same day will work. And then, from there, I believe it becomes a bit like the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.”
Murdock frowned. “How so.”
“Well,” said Stephen. “According to the spell, ahem, ‘the most powerful love is blind. It is that which is reciprocated no matter the burdens that may accompany it. The beloved whom is sought must accept the spell subject’s affections despite these burdens presented. And the hero must trust blindly that their beloved does indeed accept them even as they cannot know for certain.”
Murdock’s lip curled up. “Well. Luckily, I am blind,” he said.

Daredevil is Into Me (Sexually) by BlueBioluminescence, Stirfbot (certaintendencies)

Summary
He really can’t tell the detective the true reason behind their late night rendezvous. Which is why, after a second’s hesitation and a deep, irrational moment of the fuck-its, Foggy shrugs and says, “Because Daredevil is into me.” And then, when the detective blinks rapidly and fails to respond, Foggy specifies, “Sexually.”

Complicated Creation by Elemental
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
09 Sep 2020
Tags
Summary
Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don't like him very much, and c) he's pretty sure the heroes now think he's a villain working for the League.
Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case.
Unless Nighteye's right, and the kid really is a villain.

Summary
“I’m not a hero. Or a good person,” Katsuki says, giving Aizawa a pointed look, “So leave me alone. I don’t care about the League or UA, or you—” The two years he’s been away have been fine, more than fine, fucking fantastic actually if you ignore the bi-monthly near-death experiences. He doesn’t need this place. He doesn’t miss this place.
And yet, longing, a childish desire to tear up, or maybe blow something to bits, they all twist in his chest like a band of traitors regardless. “—I just want to go home.”
Or: the one where Katsuki and Izuku fail the first term exam, Aizawa discovers their pasts, and Katsuki is booted from UA. Featuring questionable descriptions of villain organizations, a slightly illegal moving shop, and your favorite emotionally constipated badass in distress with a newly discovered penchant for collecting strays.

“Oh spirits,” Azula says, grinning widely. The Water Tribe is full of idiots. “You don’t want to marry Zuko, he’s useless. Also, he’s already engaged.”
“He is?” Yue blinks at her.
“Of course he is, he’s going to be the Fire Lord, he’s been engaged since he was twelve,” Azula says. A useless Fire Lord who she’s going to have to prop up, if not outright usurp, but Fire Lord all the same.
The things she does for this family, she swears.

Summary
Zuko choked on a sob and, impossibly, Lu Ten’s ghost gripped his hand tighter.
“I’m here, baby cousin, I’m here.” Said the ghost of Lu Ten, and Zuko felt warm fingers brush gently across his scalp, carding through Zuko’s sweat-soaked hair.
“M’ sorry that you’re dead,” Zuko wept, pressing his head feverishly into the touch, “I miss you. I miss you so much.”
Featuring a still very much alive Lu Ten, the slow revival of Zuko's self esteem, and how ending a war begins at home.

Summary
Sokka (a.k.a the Silent Knight, a.k.a. the sharpest detective in Caldera City) has three cases weighing on his mind.
1.) Zuko, son of the mob boss Ozai, has gone missing under sinister circumstances.
2.) Lee, a teahouse waiter with the face of an angel, wears a scar of mysterious origins.
3.) The Blue Spirit, a lithe and enigmatic cat burglar, keeps stealing into the Fire Nation’s storehouses (not to mention Sokka’s dreams).Sokka sighs and takes a swig from his special bottle. It’s hard solving three completely unrelated mysteries at the same time...

Summary
Foggy and Matt never met at school. They cross paths for the first time while working opposite sides of a case, and Matt doesn't leave an impression beyond the superficial: a blind, pro-bono crusader who Foggy will feel really guilty about having to oppose in court one of these days. Seemed like a nice guy, but no one Foggy will worry about a week later.
He has more important things on his mind, like the masked vigilante who keeps cornering him in dark alleys to threaten him for information.
