    Summary

    Desmond Miles died saving the world. He did not stay dead.

    Two centuries later, he is four years old in a Japanese orphanage, fluent in a language he's never learned, watching a world he doesn't recognise through eyes that still see in gold and red and the pale blue of people who can be trusted. He has no mission. He has no Brotherhood. He has, apparently, a great deal of time.
    He uses it to keep a quiet eye on things — until a three-year-old with red eyes and a broken past arrives at the orphanage, and Desmond makes the only choice that has ever come naturally to him: he puts himself between the kid and everything that could hurt him.
    It turns out that's enough to build a life on.

    A slow-burn found family story spanning twenty years, ending precisely where My Hero Academia begins.

    Summary

    There’s a magician living in an abandoned warehouse down on the Tricorner Docks.

    Park Row has its fair share of strange tales and rumors floating through the cracks. The kids of the alley talk at length, telling ghost stories and cautionary tales. Passing advice on how to survive from one night to the next in the form of fun little parables that make the cold nights feel a little bit warmer, and maybe let them pretend that their lives are all a fun little game, just for a few moments.

    The magician, at first, feels like a fable. Something that a kid saw and read just a little bit wrong and didn’t wait around to find out what was really going on. The kid who spotted the magician – a 9 year old red-head with green eyes and a smattering of freckles across his pale face – tells the tale like a myth.

    A magician with golden hair and golden eyes, who clapped his hands together and rebuilt a car from scraps with a flash of light. Taking nothing in payment but a bottle of whiskey and a home-cooked meal.

    (Or: The one where Edward Elric ends up in Gotham, decides Jason Todd is his, and makes it Bruce Wayne's problem.)

    Summary

    A silhouette appeared at the end of the alley, thin and walking with an almost limp, or maybe just swaying. The man appeared to be giggling to himself, reaching up and touching his lips. As he got closer, Peter realized there seemed to be blood on his hands. He was wearing a stained and ripped purple suit, with garish clown makeup making him look a ghastly white. His yellow teeth were stained with blood, reflecting off the dim light as stumbled down the alleyway. He was getting closer, and Peter made a split second decision.

    or

    Peter traverses universes, accidentally one hit KOs the Joker, gets stalked by Bats, fakes an identity, and maybe finds a family, not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.

    Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.

    It was a relief, then, when some random New Yorker was thrown into his living room through a portal straight out of some LSD daydream.

    Finally, something interesting to deal with.

    Cue some wild family misunderstandings, criminal conspiracies and cults.

    Because there’s always a goddamn cult.

    Summary

    After the near-fatal fight with Kimblee and the subsequent impalement at the bottom of a mine shaft, Ed finds himself unwilling transported into a new world. A world with far too many old men with long hair and beards, an alarming amount of chimeras, and a creepy ring that feels a little too close to a philosopher’s stone.

    More simply - Ed gets thrown into the Fellowship of the Ring.
