Summary
Listen, Bruce Wayne was great at the whole secret identity thing. Or he had been until all the Robins started popping up. There's only so many coincidences that the people of Gotham can ignore until it clicks. And when child after child started popping up in Wayne manor, and a matching child popped out from Batman's cape, there was no denying it anymore. So yes, Gotham knew that Batman was Brucie, who was also Bruce Wayne. But if the only thing that kept that man sane was dressing up in a bat costume and protecting the city then who were they to stop him?
And so the game began. Everyone knew Batman's identity (except the black haired, blue eyed kids although even that backfired eventually) and Gotham would do everything to protect Bruce from the knowledge that yes, the entire city did actually know what he got up to in his free time.
Shenanigans ensue.

Everyone also found the briefcase that sat at the bottom of Klaus's bed strange, but it was simply one of the many oddities of Klaus to the 173rd Airborne Division. They were willing to look past his...eccentricities for the sake of a friend.
Or: Klaus raises an army of the dead in Vietnam and is generally an icon who deserves better.

The Avatar had only ever been a symbol of peace, always content with what they had achieved so long as they had the ability to protect those they loved. They had no wish for things they did not need, this had been true since the beginning of time.
Avatar Korra broke that cycle, the power going to her head, before she realised it would be her downfall.

Summary
It only took one 15-hour shift from hell for everyone to notice the newest Emergency Department MS4 was…weird. British accent, yet claiming to hail from Nebraska; more unaware of pop culture than a boomer; an aversion to the word ‘magic’ and an even bigger aversion to ‘family’ — the list goes on.
Everyone has a theory. One person truly understands, even without asking. And another figures it out, in spite of Whitaker’s best intentions.
AKA Dennis Whitaker is an estranged Weasley miracle baby and squib, doing his best to bring good to this world and become a doctor, despite his family’s hesitations. If only his childhood better prepared him to blend in with Muggles. Or Americans, for that matter.

Summary
If there's one thing Steve Harrington has learned about himself over the last few years, it's that he'll do almost anything to protect the people he cares about.
Steve Harrington defeated a faceless monster with nothing but a nail-filled bat and sheer terror to guide him.
Steve Harrington defended a group of kids from 'rabid dogs' and an even more rabid teenager and got a plate cracked over his head for his troubles.
Steve Harrington just spent the past several hours being tortured by agents of a foreign superpower for the crime of being best friends with a toothless thirteen year old.
So, when Steve Harrington thinks to himself, in the depths of what is definitely not a full-blown panic attack, "If Jonathan doesn't stop this car right now, I'm going to climb over the backseat and strangle him to death with the stupid fucking ascot I've been forced to wear for the past two months." He means it.

Summary
Slowly his senses came back to him. He felt himself breathing fast, too fast, and tried to force it to return to a normal pattern. His hearing returned slowly, enough to hear Robin’s panicked voice.
“…Steve! Steve, talk to me! Steve! Steve, are you ok? For god’s sake, Steve!”
--------
Dustin is faced with a difficult choice. When he makes it, he can't help but feel like he's sentenced Steve to death.
The reality is much worse.
Stranded far from home with no way back, Steve must work with everything he has to survive and stop an ever-growing threat to a home made unrecognisable by the aftermath of tragedy.
Starts midway through season 3, major spoilers for the whole show up to then. Written prior to Season 4. Trigger warnings in individual chapters. NOW COMPLETE!
