Summary
“The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”
“Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”
Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.
“You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”
“You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.
“No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”
Jason bluescreened.
(Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

Bookmarker's Notes
It’s hard to find a fanwork that understands both canon and characterizes everyone well but when you do it feels like sunshine after a snowstorm. Thank you author for the much needed light <33

Summary
One night, Robin spots a kid with an overnight bag on a rooftop, and he jumps to the obvious conclusion: the kid's trying to run away. The kid is doing a really bad job of it, though, and that's the sort of thing Robin just has to correct.
Except the kid is Tim Drake, and Tim isn't actually trying to run away. But "running away" does sound a little better than "stalking bat-themed vigilantes through the crime-infested streets of Gotham every night." So he lets Robin have this one.
Besides, that's the end of it, right? Robin might have found Tim once, but no one ever looks for Tim a second time. Robin can think whatever he wants. They'll never see each other again.
(They see each other again.)

Summary
Iridescent: adj. displaying a play of lustrous colors like those of the rainbow.
Sugawara Koushi is one of the few that can see the so called strings of faith. He told nobody, except his family. He sees, never speaks. He only observes the colorful strings of red, yellow, green, blue, and how they were made, tangled, and stretched, but never broke.

Summary
Immortality is a curse, an infinite cycle of dying and wondering if this time it will be permanent. An infinite cycle of burdening loved ones. But to be immortal must mean that one's life has a greater purpose, some universe-altering destiny. There must be a reason for this curse.
For months, Kenny took up the mantle of Mysterion, desperately seeking his purpose while using his power to help others. He hung up his cloak after the attention Mysterion received put his loved ones at risk, but came out of retirement to help save the world from monsters of ancient prophecy. Now he is finished with vigilantism for good. That is, until an even greater evil rises from the depths of the earth. A dark lord of legend. An immortal that can only be destroyed by another immortal.

Summary
When Kenny flunks out of Home Ec, his female classmates tease him about not having what it takes to "find a nice, rich man to marry." Well, he's going to show them. Everybody knows their future valedictorian comes from one of South Park's wealthiest families and will make his own fortune as a successful lawyer one day. Seducing him will prove that Kenny isn't a Home Ec failure. He'll be a trophy husband if it kills him (and it probably will, at least once).
