    Summary

    “Just because the Bat has good intentions doesn’t mean he can operate without supervision or consequence,” Jim says slowly, unsure of how else to explain to an elementary schooler that beating up criminals in a furry costume shouldn’t be encouraged.

    Barbara leans into his side. “What if you supervised him?”

    “What?” Jim blinks. “Babs, I don’t even know who the guy is,” he points out.

    Her eyes widen and a delighted gasp leaves her lips. “Oh! We should figure it out! Together!"

    ~_~

    Featuring unmasking vigilantes as a father-daughter bonding activity, awkward small talk between two dads (both at crime scenes and PTA meetings), and Babs and Dick’s natural progression from classmates to besties in the name of chaos.

    ~_~

    This is a direct sequel to I’m a Good Pretender but can be read as a stand alone.

    There’s nothing particularly remarkable about Sullust.
    Well, except for Obi-Wan’s time-traveling son. But, you know. Apart from that.

    Or, baby-Luke-raised-by-Ben-Kenobi shows up in the middle of the Clone Wars, causes Anakin and Obi-Wan to put two and two together and get forty-five, and in the process inspires a series of heartfelt conversations that may or may not avert the terrible future he’s from.

    Summary

    When Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides he can't be left to his own devices in Diagon Alley for the whole of August and sends him to stay with the only person available - one highly displeased Severus Snape. Harry, for his part, doesn't think this summer could get any worse. After all, what could be more unpleasant than living with Professor Snape?

    Finding out that Draco Malfoy is also staying at Spinner’s End, of course.

    None of them know how they'll survive a month in each others' company, but they might just come out the other side with something they all need the most: a family.

    Chapter 21

    Excellent characterization and intriguing story. Has plenty of depth and a respect for the source material, in the sense that it’s consistent with the tone/characterization.

    Summary

    After Sean’s death, Mary Beth asks Arthur to take her on a hunting trip, somewhere far away. What takes place at first is a simple love story: full of trials and journeys that they must endure together, as a team. But over time, things complicate. The gang is in trouble, and as Arthur and Mary Beth aim to set out on their own one day, they must find a way to help those they love while eventually, finding escape. Their ultimate goal is to go north with the Marstons, to find the bucolic stretches of Wisconsin where, rumor has it, there are lily farms. Will they make it? How will they survive when all hope seems lost? This is their story.

    Chapter 50 - Best writing for this unusual pairing I’ve ever read. Can’t recommend this enough!

    This author did an incredible job writing this. Please give them comments and kudos!

    Full on, Marius-stalks-Cosette story that no one knew they needed. A what-if story where Cosette doesn’t return Marius’ feelings, which have now turned into sinister obsession.

    Recommend because this author goes above and beyond in their work!

    Abandoned.

     

     

    This is a sequel following directly after The Great Nightbird and the Osprey, which is character-driven romance exploring the ways in which Erik and Éponine both complement and brilliantly contrast each other.

     

     

    Highly do not recommend reading this until you have read the first one. It won't make any sense or be a good time, I promise you. If you're only going to read one, read the first one.

    Chapter 55

    On hiatus :( But looking forward to seeing where it continues :)

    Sequel to “The Great Nightbird and the Osprey”, a fantastic crossover story of Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera, which features an underrepresented pairing of The Phantom/Erik and Éponine (works so well in this story).

    Can’t wait to see where this goes!

    Summary

    Dying of love, Erik emerges from the depths for what is to be the final time, only to stumble upon a young woman, gravely wounded, against the wall of the Opera House. When Éponine wakes to find herself in the house on the lake, with no memory of who brought her from the barricade only to leave her outside of the Opera House, she is at first wary of this man who has tended her wounds, who covers his face and moves in that noiseless way she associates with members of the dark Parisian underbelly—but not wary for the reasons he expects.

    This character-driven story explores the ways in which Erik and Éponine both complement and brilliantly contrast each other. Like mirrors, they force each other to confront truths about themselves and their world, while also radiating some hopeful light as they provide each other with opportunities to heal and grow. In the process, an unlooked-for relationship organically unfolds, which they must learn to navigate without unwittingly hurting one another.

    Probably my favorite and in-character crossover of Phantom of the Opera and Les Misérables! This is more specifically a slow-burn Phantom/Erik and Éponine romance, where both of them grow as characters. Great themes overall and moments that’ll make you laugh and cry! Totally recommend for anyone who wants to understand these characters on a deeper level!

    Summary

    Hi! First time writing in this universe. Be kind, please. LOL!
    This story involves a de-aged Dick Grayson, around 5 years old. Batman and company do their best to discover who was behind this, why it was done and how they can bring big bird back or if they can. Also will include major Court of Owls drama. And in my world, Alfred lives on!
    FYI: Everyone who gives me kudos, including guests, are thanked in the comments.
