Summary
In a very different universe, Sakura finds herself in very similar circumstances. She becomes a Genin and gets two powerhouses for teammates and a Jounin teacher who overlooks her in favor of them. It made sense that he'd ignore her, since he was handpicked for them. She's ready to slip through the cracks where, if she's lucky, she'll be a paper ninja for the rest of her life.
That destiny is put on hold when Kisame Hoshigaki is chosen to be the new teacher of team 14. He's always wanted to be a Jounin instructor and he's determined to take care of all three of his kids, not just the ones with important connections. He's always rooted for the underdog, after all.An AU where Sakura's family immigrated to Kiri instead of Konoha

Todoroki Enji gets a second chance. It's up to him to see what he can do with it.

Summary
Bilbo Baggins arrived home late one afternoon in the middle of the week and the entire west Farthing is still talking about it.
Poor Mister Baggins. He was doomed to be a nine-days wonder no matter what and is it any wonder after a year-long adventure? Even the Tooks haven’t the influence to hush that up, but Mad Baggins seems to have managed to silence every tongue in the Shire on that subject which would be awe-inspiring ...if not for the way he decided to go about it.
OR: That one where Middle Earth seems to be unclear about where baby Hobbits come from.

Summary
“This is the crux,” he said, “it’s the hardest part of a climb.”
Hawks watched Bakugou Katsuki ascend, the way his body prevailed against gravity and hung suspended by fingertips on the smallest fracture of rock. The blonde grunted once, then upheaved himself into a crevice no wider than a cherry tree.
“You force yourself up,” Bakugou rasped, wiping away the sweat that dared run towards his eyes. He looked like a baker, his hands coated in a small clumping mixture of chalk and explosive sweat that flaked away like pie-dough. “If you give up at the crux, you’ll never get to the top.”
Hawks said, “then why did you give up being a hero?”Series

Summary
The first time Cassandra speaks to Batman, it's in the language David Cain taught her. The way bodies speak is simple. Cassandra watches Bruce Wayne go, and thinks that people are not.
She goes back to Barbara. "I want," she says, and stops. She doesn't know the words for what she wants.
There's a story Cassandra heard once, about a boy made out of wood. He wanted something like this, too.
-
there are a lot of steps in between being a weapon and being a person.
Cassandra Cain becomes Batgirl. Batgirl becomes Cass Wayne. Cass isn't sure what it means, to be a person, and Batman isn't very good at teaching that. luckily Bruce has a protege or five to help her figure it out. -
