He had considered travel in his retirement plans by NilokSilver

Summary
Maybe he shouldn’t have pushed one of his more volatile students quite so far while playing as Sukea. One moment, he was enjoying a final game of teasing his face before passing the Hokage hat to Naruto; the next, he was in the past, draped in oversized clothes that now felt more like a tent than an outfit.
It wasn’t ideal, but he’d survived worse. His plan was simple: step into his old life, lay low, and figure out a way back to his proper timeline, even if it was the long way. Except... it seemed he hadn’t displaced his younger self. Instead, there were two Kakashis now, and they had to adapt.
The younger Kakashi, sharp-eyed and prickly as ever, clearly wasn’t thrilled by the intrusion. But older Kakashi wasn’t too worried. After all, he’d survived his students—adorable little brats who’d outgrown their charm and turned into forces of nature. Compared to them, his younger self was manageable.
Prickly or not, this kid might even be fun to mess with while Kakashi figured out how to navigate this unexpected hiccup in his retirement plan.

Summary
"Do you know what a desperado is in chess?"
Tim Drake watches his world fall apart within the span of a week; the pillars of strength, his personal heroes, all disappear into interplanetary space without a trace. Well, that would be, if not for the foreboding, alien planet headed straight for Earth.
As Batman confides in him one last time, Tim Drake will do whatever it takes to preserve humanity and take down the otherworldly being. Even at the cost of shattering reality.

Summary
When a training exercise accidentally lands the freshly-minted Team Seven in the Land of Rain, the stakes of their little practice mission abruptly get a lot higher. Amegakure, paranoid as it is, isn’t all that thrilled to have S-rank foreign shinobi Kakashi of the Sharingan wandering into the country unannounced, after all.
Consequently, Kakashi is taken captive and marched off to Amegakure for interrogation and probably execution. Sakura, mistaken for a fugitive criminal, is taken captive along with him. Sasuke and Naruto are left behind, left to fend for themselves and forced to learn how to work together in order to rescue their teammates.
As they’re transported towards an unpleasant fate in Amegakure, Sakura and Kakashi will have to adapt quickly if they want any chance of escaping. Sakura will have to find her confidence as a shinobi, while she’s surrounded by people who don’t even believe she is one. And Kakashi will have to teach her how to do that, despite how unused he is to his role as a teacher.
The odds are against them in many ways. In spite of that, each member of Team Seven will fight tooth and nail to defend their brand-new teammates’ safety.

Summary
Dick sounded amused. “You didn’t tell me you were coming.”
“You should have known.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. My latent psychic abilities haven’t kicked in yet,” Dick said. Then, as if the possibility was just occurring to him: “You told someone you were coming, right?”
Tim made a noise, vague enough for Dick to interpret however he wanted.
“Hey,” the next tug on the blanket was sharper, as was Dick’s voice. When he got the blanket down enough to see Tim’s face, he raised an eyebrow, repeating, “You told someone you were coming, right?”
Or: Tim and Bruce have a fight. Tim does the only logical thing and goes to Dick about it.

Stolas’ eyes flew open and he stared down at the ground to find an imp staring up at him.
"Your stool." The imp sighed and held up his own noose. "Just like, when you’re done.”
“Oh!” Stolas felt quite foolish. “My apologies, um… yes, of course you can borrow it when I’m done. I won’t be needing it anymore, after all.” He smiled, then tried to bring himself back to the task at hand. He inhaled and exhaled slowly and closed his eyes again.

Summary
The closest Alastor's ever gotten to romance comes in the form of—in order of increasing hilariousness—a couple of botched youthful attempts at kissing, cheap mass-produced smut comics, and the wildly entertaining tales of other people's sordid affairs.
He's never wanted sex. He's never wanted love. He's never seen a problem with this.
It's taken about a century, but he's pleasantly surprised to discover that the rest of the world is finally starting to catch up with his perspective.
More than anything else, he’s pleased that these new modern attitudes have given him extra opportunities for bad puns.

Sakura is born in the heart of the flower district.
No father waited outside. No clan name to greet her. No elders to speak blessings, no family crest stitched into swaddling cloth.
“Haruno” is what Mebuki writes on her academy form.
It’s still not her name.

Sakura is the daughter of a prostitute.

Summary
She could still taste the helpless fear on her tongue as she’d prayed for someone else to step in as the missing-nin had emerged on the bridge. She’d prayed for someone else to take her place, to take the hits she’d had to take. Prayed for someone else to make the kills she’d had to execute. But that someone else hadn’t come. In that moment Sakura knew that she had to be that someone. So that she could survive to see her next day. So that someday, she might thrive.
And to thrive, she’d have to dig in her heels and make her mark on the test of time. To immortalise the Haruno name in shinobi text’s forever.
OR
The Haruno's have wafted through history as nothing more remarkable than a soft breeze on a quiet day. Not Sakura though. Not this time.

She’d prayed for someone else to take her place, to take the hits she’d had to take. Prayed for someone else to make the kills she’d had to execute. But that someone else hadn’t come. In that moment Sakura knew that she had to be that someone. So that she could survive to see her next day. So that someday, she might thrive.
And to thrive, she’d have to dig in her heels and make her mark on the test of time. To immortalise the Haruno name in shinobi text’s forever.
OR
The Haruno's have wafted through history as nothing more remarkable than a soft breeze on a quiet day. Not Sakura though. Not this time.

“So you’re…stuck? In that?” Tim quirks an eyebrow at him. “What were they playing at?”
“She was trying to unmask me, I think.” Dick shrugs, unbothered. “The wording wasn’t very precise. Her spell was supposed to make me ‘show my true colors’ and ‘revert to my original form.”
Tim bursts into delighted laughter.
Dick gives him a crooked smirk and salutes with two fingers. “Behold my true colors.”

When someone first touches their soulmate, another whose very essence and spirit matches theirs, they receive a mark.
Parental marks are purple. Romantic marks are red. Friendship marks are pink.
Sibling marks are blue.

Tim doesn't have any siblings. He never wanted any.
Which is why he never thought he'd find one at the circus.

Summary
After a moment, Strange finishes his spell, letting out a sigh as he drops his magic. The arc reactor in his hand shimmers with power, both magical and regular, the steady white-blue now accented by shivering, red-orange symbols that gently orbit the metal casing.
“Fancy,” Tony says, reaching out to take it.
Strange pulls his hand back instead and says, “Forgive me, Tony.”
Tony can’t move. He freezes in place, hand twitching above the changed arc reactor. Confusion, followed by shock, followed very quickly by fear driven anger as Tony snap his eyes back to Strange.
Strange meets his gaze and says, “When you find him, ask Tim for help.”

agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by iliwaren

Summary
He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.
"Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."
Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.
(Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

Summary
Peter Parker (recently called Peter Three) appears in a swirl of golden light, the chill morning air replaced with something stagnant and sterile. He blinks, shaking off the golden light, and realizes he's not where he should be.
He's in a cell box suspended in a void, surrounded by other clear cells filled with people of all shapes, sizes, and, potentially, species.
A high tech gondola being guided along by an alien that almost looks like Peter Two’s Green Goblin slides into view. A bald man in a tailored business suit stands behind the alien, scrolling on his phone, idly drinking some coffee.
Peter politely knocks on the wall separating them.
