Summary
“I can’t believe this. Darkseid took you, and then you—you just—” Cassie cuts herself off, swiping at a bit of sweat on her upper lip. “You’ve been missing for two years. We thought he’d killed you, or—or, I dunno, sucked out all your mojo to use in a giant space laser or something, and now you’re sitting here calling him Doug.”
OR:
In a universe where Secret stayed with Darkseid on Apokalips, Cassie finds herself captured by the Female Furies.

Kon's been an established part of the Metropolis Vampire Coven for the past six years. Sure, he's got his fair share of skeletons in the closet, but he's done his best to put them aside in favor of his new life in a new city.
However, when a new pair of masked hunters starts targeting vampires in Bludhaven, he is forced to strike an uneasy alliance with the local coven. And as people from his old life begin to surface in his new one, he'll have to face more than just the Bat and the Bird if he wants to keep his world from unraveling.

Summary
“Holy shit,” Damian blurts out, incredulous, just as the typing in the background, abruptly, stops.
Jon closes his eyes, and mushes his forehead further into the telephone box. Dammit. He’d found the arrest documentation then. “Look,” he begins.
“You got busted in the Iceberg Casino raid?”
“It was a deep cover mission—”
“You were gambling? You. Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes Teen-Role-Model Jonathan Kent.”
--
Or: in which Jon gets arrested, steals Kon's jacket, and becomes one with a garbage truck (not necessarily in that order)

Deeply Alien Kryptonians AU by GnomeWithALaptop
Fandom DCU, Supergirl (Comics), Supergirl (TV 2015), Superman (Comics), Superman - All Media Types
02 Apr 2024
Summary
A collection of (mostly) unconnected one-shots based around this non-canon deleted scene from Superman: American Alien.
In essence, the idea is that Kryptonians in their natural form are non-humanoid and "deeply alien." However, Clark's DNA was forcibly rewritten during his journey to Earth, making him appear human -- that way he could "belong."

Summary
The boy watches him carefully, focusing sharply on his every reaction, “You got any kids?”
Bruce makes sure the surprise at the question is not evident on his face, “I don't,” He answers heavily.
Peter closes his eyes with a slow and deliberate movement, disappointment evident in the way his shoulders relax in defeat, “So you're not my dad, huh?”
“No, Peter,” Bruce confirms gently, not sure why the truth feels wrong, “I'm not your father.”
The boy opens his eyes, expression full of grief and eyes a blazing gold flecked with green, “My name's actually Jason.”
(A strange boy covered in scars enters Doctor Bruce Wayne's emergency room.)

Summary
“Damn.” Steph says. Then: “I know you said you didn’t want this, but… my seventeenth is next year. If you want, you could come? I mean, it’s not gonna be a big deal, but you’re my friend.”
“When is it?” Cass says.
“I’m getting out the invitations early.” Steph says. She laughs. “Next February. You just missed it.”
Cass will be dead by then, by Lady Shiva’s hand. She nods. “I think I’d like that.”
(OR: Five conversations Cass has about family in the run-up to her death, and one her family has about her, afterwards.)

Summary
No one had touched Bart Allen until he was twelve years old. Well- that wasn’t quite true. His mother had touched him, surely, and it made sense that the Dominators had since they had kidnapped him. The lab technicians had definitely touched him in the process of hooking him into the machines. But that was so long ago, and he couldn’t remember any of it. Maybe none of it was even real.
The first few moments of Bart’s rebirth were cold. The wires dropped from his head, un-inserting themselves like limp spaghetti noodles. The blinding white of the Earthgov lab blared suddenly across his vision, replacing the green countryside he’d been in just seconds before. Bart had crumpled, a marionette without his strings, curling in on himself on the floor of the tank.
Or: an exploration of one Bartholomew Allen during Impulse 1995.
