Summary
Ryland Grace has never considered himself to be a brave man. He's a coward and he knows it. This accepted fact about himself is brought into question when he chooses to turn back and save Rocky.
It's questioned even more when a mysterious, glowing green ring appears in front of him and further more when a human wearing a matching one appears a few days later.
Or, Ryland Grace gets a Green Lantern Ring.

A Study of Darkness (and its Light) by FloatingNebulas
Fandoms: The Legend of Zelda & Related Fandoms, Linked Universe - Fandom

Summary
When Shadow shattered the Dark Mirror, he had expected to die. That had certainly happened. It was very painful and he would really like to not do it again.
What he hadn't expected was to wake up on the floor of a very creepy castle, be mistaken for a severed portion of Dark Link's reflection of the Hero's Spirit, and essentially be coerced into working for Ganondorf to attack the group of time-traveling heroes that Link had apparently, somehow, joined.
Shadow was only supposed to survive for long enough to figure out where the mirror that Ganondorf probably had his soul connected to was, and how to get back to Link. He wasn't supposed to get attached to Dark Link. He also wasn't supposed to start seeing a younger version of himself, from before Vio came crashing into his life, in him. He especially wasn't supposed to start trying to teach Dark how to live beyond the confines of the battle he had known for so long.
Or, Shadow adopts a new kid/brother, pulls a Vio (in more ways than just spying on the enemy from inside), and has way too much fun mentally cussing out Ganondorf.

Summary
Three years ago, Link held his brother in his arms as he died. He had never really healed from it. Grief is a painful, tricky thing that doesn't ever truly leave you, as Gramps had repeatedly told him since. He's not eager to ever experience something so heartbreaking again.
So when a group of strangers in armor come knocking on Link's door and telling him a tale of time travel and adventure, he's initially hesitant. But... what if the one thing he's been looking for for the last four years, some way to bring Shadow back to him is in a different time period? Link, Four, does the only thing he can: he joins the chain in search of a way to revive Shadow.
Unfortunately for Four, the universe has a funny way of making things happen.
Or, the Four!POV of my "Shadow adopts Dark and pulls a Vio" fic that I wrote a year and a half ago.

Young Justice.... in the Blanket Realm? What? by FloatingNebulas
Fandoms: Young Justice (Comics)
20 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
Cassie Sandsmark, Wonder Girl, had seen a lot of crazy stuff over the last year. She was used to insane, barely comprehensible adventures at this point. Hell, she had even time travelled and saved the entire universe!
This was a little stranger than normal though. Waking up in a weird world that seemed to be made entirely of blankets and pillows, with an approaching army of giant stuffed animals was a little out of the ordinary, even for Young Justice.

Hal Jordan and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Alien Pathogens by FloatingNebulas
Fandoms: Green Lantern - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types

Summary
The Green Lantern Corps has a few main rules: make sure your ring has enough charge before getting into shit, keep your will strong, don't start any interplanetary political incidents, and don't land on any unexplored planets. At least Hal was going for 2/4 today? That was 50%?
Or, Hal Jordan and the Justice League crashland on an unexplored alien planet. Unexplored, as in its natural bacteria and pathogens haven't been catalogued and added to the standard interplanetary travel vaccine yet. Hal knows just how dangerous that is. Unknown bacteria is potentially one of the deadliest things in the universe, since they have no idea what it does or how to combat it. And his ring being almost dead really doesn't make this any better. So yeah, Hal's slightly losing it.
Oh, did he mention that the Justice League is missing?

Summary
Everyone knows the four remaining members of Young Justice: Tim Drake, Bart Allen, Cassandra Sandsmark, and Kon-El. Everyone also knows that the four of them used to be part of a team named Young Justice in their early days, before joining the Teen Titans. However, very few people know what happened on that team. Very few people also know about the missing members of the team.
Young Justice was not just those four. Young Justice was populated almost entirely by unknown names in case files and half-forgotten syllables.
Or, five times someone learned about the forgotten members of Young Justice and had no idea who they were, and one time they met them.

A Relationship in Calculations: How Pidge Holt Saved the Universe by FloatingNebulas
Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender
30 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
It was really obvious. Really obvious. Keith and Lance were clearly in a secret relationship and just hadn't worked up the nerve to tell the rest of the team yet. Anyone should be able to see that. So then why was Shiro so surprised when they accidentally got married on an alien planet? And why did Pidge feel like they were losing their mind?
Or, how Pidge Holt realized their teammates were dating before the teammate themselves did (they did the math and everything!), spilled it to the entire team while extremely confused, and caused a relationship to bloom.

Jayce and his mother are in the snow. Viktor saves them. It changes nothing. Jayce and his mother are in the snow. Viktor saves them. It changes nothing. Jayce and his mother are in the snow. Viktor saves them. It changes nothing.
He does not know how long this loop has been going for. Viktor only knows one thing: he is alone.
Or, an examination of what could have happened if the time loop of Viktor trying to save them by giving Jayce the correct stone worked slightly differently, told in a repetitive, almost poetical songfic format.

Local superhero creates YouTube channel! More at 11! by FloatingNebulas

Summary
It was all Ned's idea. It was all Ned's idea, and if anything went wrong it would be his fault. Peter had not been the one to think of this, so if the channel somehow resulted in New York being set on fire or aliens attacking, it was Ned's fault. Not his.
In which Ned suggests the idea of making a Spider-Man YouTube Channel, MJ agrees, Peter reluctantly goes along with the plan, and the internet loses it. Involving videos, threads, threats to New York that Peter definitely didn't cause, and a bit of growth.

Summary
“Always consider every possibility,” was a phrase that Halt liked to say often. He drilled it into Will’s head over and over, almost as much as the one about resisting the urge to move when concealed, or the one about practicing. Halt had told him that every possible plan the enemies made needed to be accounted for, analyzed, and have contingencies in place. Apparently it was part of the reason that the Rangers were so deadly, the simple fact that they prepared for every outcome.
But not a single one of them had considered that this was possible.

Or, what if the Kalkaras’ target was actually Will?
