Summary
Peter wasn’t going to let May pay the rent all on her own. Not when there was two of them, not when being Spider-Man made everything that much harder.
And if that meant washing scratched up dishes and scrubbing old blood from the tile grout at Sister Margaret’s School for Wayward Girls, then so be it.
But then one night, his skin turned blue.
(If only his problems didn’t multiply from there.)

Summary
A random villain-of-the-week makes Robert late for work. It's only by a few minutes, yet the encounter that hardly lasted a few seconds instills a sudden chill in Robert's bones. Its persistence is matched only by the Z-Team's stubbornness as they force their dispatcher to join them in activities they think will warm him up.
But none of it matters if Robert can't learn to believe he'll ever be warm again... or that he deserves the warmth this team brings him.

Robert really needs to stop placing his self-worth in the words of a dead man.Or, Robert self-worth is six feet under on the 16th anniversary of his father’s death now that he’s no longer Mecha Man and no longer having to worry about Shroud, the Z Team is there to comfort him.
Or, or, some consequences of Robert “Robbie” Robertsons shitty parenting

Summary
Just before the battle with Thanos, Dr Strange pulls together enough power to send one person to a different dimension. A chance for that person to be safe from the destruction that Thanos was about to wrought on Earth. The group about to fight agreed that Peter Parker, for sheer virtual of being the only person not an adult there, would get the dubious honor.
Which is how Peter finds himself waking up in Gotham City, a place even crueler and darker than New York City. Peter has to try to find a way to fit into this new universe at just sixteen years old.
"I am still just your butler, and I cannot simply tell you that you will be adopting a new son. But I truly am not getting younger. You have seven children now, even if you haven’t adopted all of them legally. There is much more work than when it was just you and I. There is perhaps too much work for just myself, and then providence dropped a starving young man into my pathway for me to mold into a new generation of caretaker,” Alfred tried to explain himself.
Or
Alfred finds himself doing the adopting instead of Bruce, this time of a spider. Can Spider-Man become a first rate butler and keep his secret identity?

Summary
Tim’s pretty sure that Jason hates him.
Granted, Jason hadn’t seemed to hate him yesterday and Tim has no idea what he did to cause Jason to come to this conclusion today— (and it’s not like Tim hasn’t been racking his brain for the answer to that very question ever since he woke up)— but the signs have been there all morning and the signs never lie. The sullen mood, the closed-off body language, the vague grunts and one-word responses to Tim’s few attempts at conversation… they all point to a singular conclusion.
Jason has finally gotten sick of him.
---
Or, Jason starts acting weird while both Bruce and Alfred are out of town, and it dredges up some stuff for Tim.
Luckily, he’s still got one big brother left he can call.

Summary
“One of these days I’m gonna burn that smug fucking look right off your face.”
Robert could reply with snark, a well-timed retort. He had it loaded.
Instead, he stares.
Like the way you're supposed to stare at the sun when it hates you, and you love it anyway.
“God, you're beautiful.”
Flambae arched a brow. “Yeah? I fucking know. Mirrors exist. But thanks.”
Or,
Robert is in love with SDN’s resident flaming asshole.
Unfortunately, the flaming asshole is the only one who doesn't know.

Summary
Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.
Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.
It was a relief, then, when some random New Yorker was thrown into his living room through a portal straight out of some LSD daydream.
Finally, something interesting to deal with.
Cue some wild family misunderstandings, criminal conspiracies and cults.
Because there’s always a goddamn cult.
