Summary
So, it didn’t start out like this.
Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-
So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.
It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:
“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”
--
A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Summary
Bruce skidded to a halt, breath hissing through his teeth.
Superman’s head came up sharply, like the sound of Bruce’s shock still meant something to him—and it was Clark, but he was different. Different lines on his face, a subtly different curl to his hair, and as he looked Bruce up and down his eyes blew wide.
Bruce’s hand dropped immediately to his belt, a chill sweeping through him. “Not our Kal.”
--
Bruce and Clark have been in a relationship since the founding of the Justice League almost twenty years ago. When the League tries to bring in a thief with stolen reality-shifting technology, Clark is accidentally exchanged with his counterpart from a universe that's almost identical—except he's married to Lois. And they have a son.As each side scrambles to swap their Clarks back, Bruce and Clark find themselves grappling with new questions about their life together, faced with the possibility of things having gone differently for not just the two of them, but their children—the ones they have, and the one they've never met. Along the way, they do their best not to to blow up their counterparts' lives by dredging up any long-buried feelings. (They may or may not succeed at that last.)

Smells Like Middle-Aged Spirit by JustAnotherWanderingOne
Fandoms: DCU, Batman - All Media Types, Superman - All Media Types
13 Jul 2025
Tags
Summary
“Congratulations, you just finished puberty.”
Clark blinked. Then he blinked again. “What?”
***
Being forced to reexamine every aspect of his life because the unholy brainchild of Lex Luthor and Poison Ivy unlocked an entirely new section of his biology was not on Clark’s bucket list. Which was good, because Clark wasn’t going to do that. It wasn’t that big of a deal, really! He was fine, everything was fine, and things would go back to normal sooner or later. Honestly, things would already be pretty normal if it wasn’t for Clark’s newfound desire to maul his best friend.Bruce, meanwhile, has a bite on his neck, an unrequited crush, and hundreds of pages of Kryptonian documents that needed translating. Oh, and eight kids who are maybe a little too good at meddling.
Everyone else is just along for the ride.Featuring: Copious blankets, platonic intimacy, the Justice League being surprisingly functional, sex pollen (now with 200% less sex!), Kansas typical repression, pillow forts, rebar, romantic intimacy, Batfam typical shenanigans, untranslatable words (coming to a dead alien language near you!), and the fictional concept of Omegaverse, which is also here for some reason.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
He’d known how some of the men are with younglings—known from Waxer and Boil how sharply those attachments can form with little ones. Hell, the men were raised to be protective, so much so that Obi-Wan has often wondered if their protective drive was not written into their very atoms, some intrinsic part of their DNA.
It wasn’t something Obi-Wan had ever questioned. He’d thought he had understood the scope of it. In reality, he hadn’t understood a thing.
Not until Kamino.
Or: Not all that dive from cliffs make a running head start. Sometimes, the Fall is only a natural progression.

Summary
It's the first winter after Pitch's defeat. Jack is happy, he's not alone anymore, and his memories are gradually returning. But when a treasure hunt gone wrong puts Jack and Jamie in danger, flinging them through time and space, they find themselves on an island neither of them have heard of before. Jack's first priority is to get Jamie home safe, but Berk's inhabitants - human and otherwise - are certainly not making it easy.
Knowing they will leave Berk and the Vikings behind as soon as they know how to, Jack is not going to risk the pain of growing close to any of these people (or dragons, for that matter). But Hiccup Horrendous Haddock, wearing his heart on his sleeve, doesn't seem to want to take the hint.

Tags
Summary
The insurmountable sound of the roof caving in, the support beams failing, and the marble decorations shattering around him seemed to stop all at once. There was nothing but silence. Cold, abrupt, threatening silence.
As quickly as it had begun, the disaster simply ceased.
“Woah,” an unknown voice chimed, echoing through the rubble. A man smiled down at him, his expression bordering somewhere between surprised and amused. “You’ve caused quite a bit of chaos here, haven’t you?”

After accidentally wreaking havoc inside a temple in the woods, Grian finds himself indebted to a god he doesn't know, as well as a strange man who calls himself the temple's priest.

Summary
"Scar?" Grian repeated, more shifting, like he was sitting up. Tired but gentle confusion in his voice. "Are you okay?"
Scar should've hung up. It was bad enough he'd actually called. He should've lied, should've said it was a misdial and pretended to be okay. He should've done a hundred things and he did the one thing he shouldn't, because despite everything that happened between them, Scar felt safest with the one who hurt him. He said, a trembling whisper, "No."

Summary
Jimmy’s frantic mutterings of “No no no no–” were almost immediately overtaken by Tango’s shouting the moment the culprit came into view.
"SCAR!"
Scar’s retreating form paused for only a second so he could flash a grin back over his shoulder, and it took everything Jimmy had to remind himself that Scar didn’t know, he didn’t know, he didn’t mean anything by it, it’s all a game to him, it’s all a game–He shouldn’t have left the ranch.
The thought lingered, unwilling to be let go.
He shouldn’t have left the nest. He should have stayed, and maybe he could have stopped Scar before he took up the flint and steel. Maybe he could have stopped him from even getting close. Or maybe, even if Jimmy noticed too late, he could have stopped the spread of the flames before they got out of control.
But more than that…
He should have told Grian.
There was no avoiding it now, he reasoned, as he drew his knees to his chest to try and cradle the blanket-wrapped egg a little closer, to try and keep it a little warmer. Grian had to know. After that evening’s catastrophic turn of events, it was far far too risky to go any longer without speaking up.Series

Summary
Grian hadn't ever been expecting someone to follow through on courting ritual with him. He'd been crushing hard on his co-worker turned crime-fighting partner for years at this point, and Scar certainly had no idea that avians had that sort of thing. Specific little thoughtful gestures that would send a sign that whoever was doing the deed was interested. And as much as Grian would adore being spoiled by Scar performing all these little things that made his wings ruffle under his red sweater, pleased and basking in the attention, he knew it would never happen. Scar didn't know about avian courtship ritual.
He didn't.
Grian knew that he didn't know.
So if he didn't, why was he doing every ritual so perfectly?{In which Scar stumbles ass-backward into performing all 5 of the typical avian courtship gestures in his attempts at wooing Grian, Grian is desperately trying to convince himself he's still in the friend zone, Jimmy's busy having his own relationship crisis, and Pearl will meddle all she needs if it'll get these idiots together already.}

Summary
Scar laughs, warm and genuine. “What shall I swear by?”
Grian frowns. He considers their joined hands, before smiling and letting them go. “Do not swear. Although I joy in thee, I have no joy of this contract tonight. It—“
Scar starts to speak, taking a step forward, but Grian takes a step back, planting his hands on Scar’s shoulders. “It is too rash!” he insists. ”Too unadvised, too sudden. Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be ere one can say, ‘it lightens’.”
Scar says nothing — he has no written line here. But he takes Grian’s hand in his. He holds it, gently, as if it’s something fragile. Grian’s completely blindsided as he feels a pang in his chest. Oh, Scar.
He places his other hand over Scar’s, squeezing it reassuringly. His voice is soft as he finishes his line. “Sweet, good night…”
Aah. This is the part of the scene where Scar and Pearl would’ve. You know.
He sees Scar give an imperceptible nod, eyes locked with his.
Grian is cast as Juliet and Scar is cast as Romeo as they rehearse the balcony scene oh no I wonder what could possibly happen

Summary
Hermitcraft is supposed to be a safe haven, a place for people who were outcasted from the world to live their life freely, no matter who or what they were. It was a place for those to take shelter, a place for them to be themselves, a place that was supposed to be a sanctuary.
It just so happens that most of its residents are running from humans
And it just so happens that one of its residents is a human.
Well, better pray no one notices, right?

Summary
"I feel as if we could have a mutually beneficial arrangement." Scar shifted beside him, like he was sitting up, voice getting excited.
"It's fine, Scar. So what if I'm lacking positive intimacy? I'm lacking a lot of things. It's fine."
"I could give it to you!" Scar encouraged. "It's not as if I wouldn't enjoy it too."
"You would get feelings everywhere. No." Grian dropped his hands to look at his friend, who was propped up on his elbow and just barely the spark of his eyes visible in the dark, halo-lit by a torch behind him.
"I promise I will have zero feelings." Scar said earnestly. "Just friends helping each other out."

Summary
“Kid, I’m not gonna hurt you,” Phil assured, actively trying to keep his wings from fluffing up out of stress.
“That’s what a fuckin’ wrong’un would say.”
Sighing, he sat down on the likely filthy ground, cringing when he felt his lower feathers sweep against it. Anything to be non-threatening. The kids' distrust was palpable and the only thing he could do was ask questions and hope for an answer.
”How long have you been out here? Uh, and who were you with?” he started, trying to construct a timeline of events in his head. Those were important, right?
“I was separated from my two brothers a couple hours ago,” they explained, voice wavering slightly, “They’re fuckin’ strong and would kick the shit out of a bitch like you.”
----
Phil, a man who never quite came back out of his shell after losing his wife, finds a very lost Tommy in an alley and offers to help find his family and give him a place to stay for the night. No good deed goes left unpunished and a severe lapse in communication leaves him bedridden for days with some new faces to help him out.

Summary
Techno slammed his fists against the transparent wall of his prison, trying his best to break it down. His captors backed up, whistling anxiously to each other.
He gave the barrier another loud crack, delightedly watching as they scrambled away in abject terror.
Nodding in satisfaction, he turned around to meet the eyes of two other prisoners that had been thrown into his cell.
He froze.
Right.
There were now aliens in his cell.
And he probably just scared the hell out of them.
Or: Humans are a dangerous race feared by all on an intergalactic scale. Techno, a human ex-soldier that was abducted by aliens 18 months ago, is biding his time in captivity.
This changes when two young aliens are sent into his cell to die.
