Summary
Since Izuku turns four a series of Progressively Escalating incidents keep occurring in the Midoriya household. At first, no one makes the connection between the Midoriyas and the incidents, by dint of said incidents being so huge in scale, as befitting of An Appropriately Tragic backstory. Like that mass villain attack that occurred at the mall on Inko’s birthday. And that hostage situation at Tokyo-Disneyland. And that bank robbery after Tokyo Disneyland. The narrative works very hard but Midoriya Inko Does Not Die, because she has common sense and BNHA has things like actually competent law enforcement.
(or: in which the narrative is determined to make Midoriya Inko an anime mom, the headcanon list)

Summary
Tim Drake is many things, and has witnessed much, but no matter the universe, Tim is not stupid, and he is not a pushover. What happens if he has a different perspective when he sees the bats?
Sometimes Tim thinks he might know more about what’s going on in the city than Batman does. Sure, Batman and Robin seem to always be in the news for foiling some big corporate scandal or taking down the big-name rogues. Sure, sometimes they even do something about the organized crime in the city. Most of the time though, the real people in the city are forgotten.
Tim doesn’t understand how Batman and Robin can ignore how much most of the people are struggling. Robin doesn’t know that the thug he just punched has a wife at home that’s struggling to afford the blood transfusions she needs for her thalassemia. Batman doesn’t know that he just broke the leg of a man who just got his two-year chip and was trying to get an honest job.

The Background Noise of Defiance by loosingletters
Fandom Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy
16 Dec 2020
Summary
The Galaxy is a big place and you can find all kinds of obscure things on the holonet, including a blond teenager from Tatooine dragging the TIE-Fighter program through the sarlacc pit.
Or an Alternative Universe in which the galaxy gets saved because Luke has a youtube channel, everybody is on space twitter and Anakin Skywalker always returns to the light for his family.
Rebellions are loud and vibrant and social media is the most powerful weapon right next to a lightsaber.
