Summary
Michael Wright believed himself to be a good person. He paid his taxes, was polite to his neighbors, friendly at the workplace, and made regular donations to charities he became involved within his line of work. He believed himself reasonably aware of good and bad characters, which is why he had a feeling Vernon Dursley was of the latter sort and was not very enthused about the dinner invitation.
Harry didn’t like it when people came to visit. Uncle Vernon was always more mean, Aunt Petunia kept shrieking about everything being perfect so they could impress whoever’s visiting, and he always got locked in his cupboard early.
An ordinary dinner might be all that's needed to intertwine two not-so-ordinary destinies into one.

Summary
The news that Timothy Drake, Gotham’s cryptid millionaire, has shot the Joker dead during a public live-stream hits the world like a freight train—and that is just the opening salvo of his bugfuck plan.
Maybe there exists, in the multiverse, a configuration of Jason Todd who will weather this with decorum, dignity and self-respect. This version of Jason Todd decides that the life of an academic is not, really, all that rewarding. In contrast, the life of Timothy Drake’s live-in house-husband is looking more appealing by the second.

Summary
Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.
Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)
And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.
Sort of.

Summary
Izuku's quirk is simple, it tells him exactly what he needs to do.
It tells him to grab an umbrella and that afternoon it rains unexpectedly. It tells him to bring cash and it turns out the card reader is out of order.
His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
Well, why not?

Does the name All for One mean anything to Izuku? Nope.
Will he tear down the empire of a powerful villain who has been terrorizing Japan for over a century anyway? Sure. -

Summary
Tim knew, from the moment he stepped into a dead boy's suit, that things wouldn't end well.
Except…
There's something different about drowning alone. About falling off a cliff into an icy ocean and knowing that no one's going to save you – not because they couldn't make it in time, but because they didn't even notice you were gone.
***
OR; A shit ton of Tim Drake whump, dubious blood magic, deadly mermaid-esque water spirits, morally grey Tim, Batfam feels, and as many little head cannons as I could feasibly fit in one fic. NOTE: This is NOT a major character death story… (at least, not a traditional one). Major content warnings are tagged, and additional warnings are included in chapter summaries.

Summary
Eret had spoken about the mindless cruelty of Drago’s base and soldiers, but there’s nothing like seeing it in front of her to make it really, really sink in. She’d wanted to empathize, but she doesn’t think she really understood.
She does now.
Astrid leans her head back until it hits the wall behind her, and blinks up at the ceiling.
It’s going to be a long three days.
Or: Instead of facing the Monstrous Nightmare in the Kill Ring, Hiccup packs up and leaves Berk on Toothless, defeating the Red Death on his own as he goes. Six years later, Hiccup has royally fucked up– Hiccup has severely underestimated Drago, and now Hiccup is cramped, tired, hungry, without his prosthetic, and he really, really, really misses Toothless.
Imagine his surprise (read: complete and utter dread) when he wakes up one day to see absolutely none other than Astrid Hofferson, Snotlout Jorgenson, Fishlegs Ingerman, and Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston sitting in the cell across from him.

Summary
No human is permitted to see the Animal Court. But Tim, a feral, too-small thing, with tangled hair and teeth that yet remember how to rend, who scrambles about on four legs as often as two because there is no one to lift him to his feet - Tim, who wandered into the nighttime woods and has no one to call him back to the light of human homes - why would the forest have any reason to think him a man-thing?

Summary
As it goes, eyes are the most sinful sense. Next is mouth which spouted out many insults and abuse.
How different would it be if only Shen Jiu never saw Luo Binghe? Never get to project his envy and hatred after what he had seen?
In which, Shen Jiu was blind.
