Summary
Anthology containing:
Gods' gifts and "normal" people
Theodore Nott does not want to join the Death Eaters. Desperately doesn't want to. Desperately enough to execute a plan that includes forgery, an ill thought engagement contract and some time travel. He's only worried about the time travel part.
He's rightfully worried.
Harry Potter, who is stuck in his relatives' house all summer, receives unexpected help when dealing with the sudden dementors' attack.
Or: Theo meddles with time and accidentally triggers an old Potter ritual that draggs the closest and the most helpful adult Potter into the body of the ritualist. Dorea and Charlus Potter, participants in the war against Grindelwald, that were stuck in a time anomaly for the last eighteen years, are exactly who Harry and Theo need. They are competent fighters, good enough tacticians and most important - they are good, caring adults.
Saviour and the saved
Without the threat of becoming a Death Eater looming over his head, without his father, and finally meeting the woman after whom he was named, Theo Nott goes to Hogwarts for his fifth year. He is second in line for Black heirship, he's under Potters' care, he can finally stop hiding his interests...
It's much nicer than he expected.
Harry Potter plunges headlong into the complex politics inside and outside Hogwarts, into preparations for the civil war, that is hanging in the air, and, as is typical for teenagers, at the same time gets entangled in his own lovelife. And all that in the year he has to take important exams. Really?

Anthology containing:
Being Alone is So Cold (And You Are So Warm)
Tim wants one person on his team to know his name, just for now. Superboy may seem like an unlikely candidate but he trusts Kon. And honestly? More than trust, Tim just doesn't want to feel alone for once in his life.
A Little Secret
Clark meets the new Robin. This Robin smiles with a glacier-like coldness and breathes secret names with an ease that makes Clark freeze.
Blackberry Tea
An Alfred Pennyworth view of his almost-son Bruce and the child who decided to save him.
A Weapon is a Girl
She was nothing.
She was a weapon.
She is Cass.Shadow Girls, Shadow Boys, They Haunt Every Corner
There is a girl lurking in the shadows of Jason's room. When he sleeps, the girl paralyzes him and reminds him of a bird's wings.
There is a boy creeping silently into Jason's spaces. When he is not there, the boy slips in and leaves confusion in his wake.
Tim's School of Passable Normality
After Kon asks a random question about something fairly normal, Tim decides that he should introduce Kon and Bart to some of the most normal, teenager things he knows of. Is it a coping mechanism to deal with the major upheavals in his life? Um, well, maybe, but Kon and Bart deserve normal things! It's just that...Tim is really, really weird and his perception of normal is definitely messed up.
Heavy is the Head That Bears the Cowl
They're on opposite sides of the world, but Dick and Tim are both making bad decisions together. Funny how these things work, isn't it?
Red Atheris
Atheris Hispida:
A species of viper. Previously, the venom of said viper was not thought to be particularly dangerous. This misconception has been corrected in the recent years of study revealing that the venom of this ambush predator can cause severe hemorrhaging of internal organs.The Nest
Tim makes a Nest. Is it a bird's Nest or a snake's? Depends on who you are.
Do You Stay the Same or Change Your Ways?
Bruce returns to a home that isn't whole anymore. Does he stay the same, mission oriented and content with his empty home? Or does he change and become a man who might be a better father, a better human?
Consultation Work
Jason expects the first work he does with Red Robin to be some kind of drugs bust or trafficking take down. It's actually consultation work for the Neon Knights' Project Rebirth.
CODE: Caroline
When a need for an undercover agent surfaces, there's only one Bat for the job. Tim never realized how different his training was until CODE: Caroline put into action.
Doctor, Except for Everything, I Am Perfectly Fine
Alfred and Bruce decide they have to update the kids' medical information. If the others aren't a fan if this, then Tim is even worse. Guess who's missing his spleen?
Sebastian Ives and the Particularly Strange Friend Group
Ives is back in town and calls up his old friends to hang out. Only, Tim wants them all to meet his best friends. Ives should really plan for Tim more often.
Jason and the Spooks
Jason, regrettably, has to team up with Red Robin and Black Bat. Actually, maybe this isn't the worst thing possible. Vegan dark chocolate peanut butter cups are involved.

foolproof, foolhardy by tennessoui
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
06 Jun 2025
Summary
Senior padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi’s best friend, Ahsoka, pisses him off. After a few too many drinks, he decides that the perfect way to get revenge is to sleep with her master.
A sober, hungover Obi-Wan is horrified to remember the plan, and even more horrified to find that Quinlan, perhaps-a-bit-too-eager partner in crime, has no intentions of letting him back out of Operation: Seduce Anakin Skywalker, a foolhardy yet foolproof plan.
Emphasis, of course, on fool.

Mastermind: Strategist For Hire
Izuku Midoriya never got the chance to save Bakugo from the sludge villain and impress All Might. With his dream crushed, Izuku becomes bitter and angry. It also doesn't help that he faces discrimination at every turn.
All he ever wanted was to be appreciated, so when the villains are the ones to recognize his talents rather than the heroes, well, Izuku just can't resist. He might as well help those who actually want him around.
Mistakes were made, and now society must face a villain of their own making: Mastermind.Mastermind: Rise of Anarchy
Izuku Midoriya, aka Mastermind, is finally behind bars, but that doesn't mean that his influence on society was imprisoned with him. In fact, Mastermind's arrest has only brought more publicity his reign of terror. Add that to the fact that he still has allies on the outside and, well...
Hero society created him, so now they have to deal with the consequences of their actions.Shelves: My Hero Academia

Me, Myself and Midoriya by BlackPensils
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
03 Jun 2021
Summary
He blinked again and again, pointing between the two before him as if that would give him an explanation for what he was seeing. His eyes followed the movement of his hand, scanning the two near identical clones before him, from the frosty white to the burning red.
“Which one is Todoroki… or is that not the right way to put it?”
“I am,” they both answered, perfectly in sync with one another. They both frowned as they turned to look at each other with the most confused expression that Izuku had ever seen come across Todoroki’s face before they both turned back to the omega. “I’m Todoroki.”
~~~
While interning at his father's agency, Todoroki is hit with a quirk which leaves him split in half. Literally right down the middle. Now Izuku is faced with the fact that his soulmate is now two people and that each half doesn't always seem to agree with the other. It quickly leads him to question the decision they made their first year, to just stay friends. Especially when one half starts acting a bit more intimate towards him.

Golden Handcuffs
Far from any city, near the Scottish coast, Tadfield College has a celebrated history, an unrivaled academic reputation, and two departments at war.

Pretend to Be Nice
Dr. Aaron Gabriel and Dr. Beelzebub Prince are the chairs of rival departments at Tadfield College. Also, they're dating. Or, not. They're doing something. They don't even like one another. Or maybe they do. They're working on it, okay?

And That Has Made All The Difference by SabrinaCarpenterIsMySpiritAnimal
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types
20 Apr 2020
Summary
The moment that Bo-Katan brings up Satine, something inside of Obi-Wan bristles, and that is enough to change the course of galactic history.
Or, in a moment of what can only be described as stupidity brought on by an old, unhealed wound, Obi-Wan orders the Open Circle fleet to Mandalore the instant Bo-Katan invokes the name of his dead girlfriend, partially to meet her challenge, partially because he wants Maul dead, and mostly because even the most calm, collected Jedi Master can make snap decisions when sufficiently pressed.
And just like that, things do not go the way anyone expects.

Inimitable Verse Anthology by deniigiq

10 Mar 2019
Summary
Anthology containing:
Inimitable
“Peter, is it supposed to be doing that?” One of his students asked him. He looked up to see the industrial-strength magnets he’d collected for this lab trying to crack through the glass between them to be reunited. The glass splintered.
“Yeah, no. That’s totally fine,” he lied. Then he inconspicuously chased everyone to the corner of the lab, donned a glove, and smashed the glass so that it wouldn’t splinter and stab someone in the eye in its explosion.
His students cheered.
He needed a drink.
(Peter gets called back to the city at the age of 25 to help mitigate the rapidly increasing crime rate. He's in way over his head, so he sets out to re-establish Team Red.)
Level Up
“Alright, we’re done,” Daredevil suddenly announced and made for the door.
Peter threw a hand out, stuffed it into a gap in his armor and, to the trio’s shock, physically dragged him back. Murdock leaned hard out of the grip, but Peter didn’t seem bothered by that.
“Double D, not everything’s cursed,” he lectured, “And not all curses are bad, that’s just what Christians tell other people to destabilize their societies.”
(Matt and Peter accidentally get involved in some witchy business, and the Spidey trio have to go back and convince their fifteen-year-old fearless leader to help them solve it)
Relativity
Peter weighed throwing his drink in Harry's face and storming out divorcée-style with pretending to go into anaphylactic shock to escape this interaction.
They were both pretty good.
He needed to take his badge off first, either way.
def not a democracy
He started to pull back to tell Angel, ‘sorry, no can do. Your fam’s too fucking weird for me to cope with. I’ll just pay you back in cash,’ when the tiny thing at his hip went dead still and snapped her head up to look him in the eye.
“Where does the web come from?” she asked, “Is it your butt?”
Peter looked up at the wall behind the child and considered all his options.
“So, I’m not sure this is gonna work out,” he observed evenly.
(Peter babysits Little Spidey's sister for a night and the integrity of Team Red is temporarily thrown into chaos.)
not throwing away
Nine lives, you could say he’d had. But only one shot at this.
(Matt asks Fogs to marry him.)
flower child
Matt gave the kid a high-five for trying to fight an alien.
(Matt meets the little ones of Team Red. He remains the worst influence.)
Onwards
SM: guys my therapist has prescribed me self-care
SM: she gave me a pamphlet
SM: It is all bullshit. I need real-life suggestions. Ready go
DP (´｡✪ω✪｡´): k what you need is to start a ranch
SM: she said no hermit or Lotr fantasies
SM: next
DP (´｡✪ω✪｡´): well fuck man
(Peter is confronted with the concept of self-care and goes to San Francisco to find it with Matt and Foggy. Miles and Team Red hold the fort back home.)
take cover
“We’ll just have to wait and see,” the lawyer said.
Wait and see what? Until when? Until Miles’s dad went to jail for five years, only to be liberated by some podcaster with a savior complex who took an interest in his case? Was that the pipe dream they were waiting for? Because if so, Miles wasn’t game.
That night, the last piece of the bottle appeared in his sock, pushed out by the healing skin.
He held the piece in the palm of his hand and hit the true breaking point.
(Miles's dad is wrongfully arrested. He and his mom need a little help resolving it. Turns out that there are a couple especially helpful hands somewhere in all those spiderverses.)
under fire
“Woah,” Miles breathed. Except he didn’t. No, the other guy, he’d said that. In Miles’s voice.
“It’s another Miles,” Gwen murmured with awe. Another Miles. He had a double. He had a double like Peter did.
“Hi,” he said, then felt awkward as hell. How were you supposed to greet your clone? Twin? Alternate universe buddy? Was there a handbook? He needed a handbook.
“Hi,” the other Miles said through his mask, then looked down. Miles looked down with him and realized they were still holding hands. They let go at the same time.“You’re me,” the other Miles said. Apparently he’d gotten the handbook.
(Someone is trapped in the Spiderverse. Miles, Gwen, and Peter B. find themselves in need of some assistance to rescue them.)

Summary
Two years after the war, and Harry’s content with his life. OK, so it’s a little annoying that he keeps winning Witch Weekly’s Most Eligible Bachelor award, and he’s really not looking forward to the unveiling of an enormous gold statue of himself, but he loves his friends, and he loves being an Auror. And if he yearns for something more, something he can barely bring himself to think about, well, he’ll probably get over it. No one’s happy all the time, are they?
But then everything changes, and Harry’s thrown into a new and dazzling world he’s not sure he can actually escape from. And as time goes on, he starts to wonder: does he actually want to?

Summary
Harry doesn’t mind that so many Slytherins from his year have returned to finish their NEWTs, really he doesn’t. It’s just – do they have to be so friendly? He’s not prejudiced, really he’s not. It’s just – they’ve got to be up to something, right? Unnerved by the attention he’s attracting from everyone – the Slytherins are the least of it, to be fair – and struggling with a raft of changes to Hogwarts itself, Harry wishes he could be happy that one constant remains: Draco Malfoy really fucking hates him.
When he’s hit by an illegal love-spell though, Harry finds he has more to worry about than whether or not Blaise Zabini actually wants to be his friend. For if everyone affected has been blessed – or cursed, by the look on Malfoy’s face – with a magical tattoo revealing the name of their soulmate, what does it mean that Harry’s skin remains completely bare?
