Summary
Dick Grayson had been cooped up in the manor for days while sick, so it was not surprising that he would jump at the chance to get out and go to school. He immediately regretted it, as he stood in the school bathroom during first period, his teeth hurting and his head fevered.
And then there was that thing about the pain in his back…
Or: Before there were others, there was Dick Grayson, the first Robin. The one who started the legacy. Gotham granted her blessing to him before any of the others.

Summary
Tim has always been on the outside of the family; even Gotham didn't see it fit to grant him the same blessing of wings she gave to the other Robins. He didn't see any reason why that would change, so it didn't even strike him that the pain in his back might be connected to the problem.
Jason just wanted to show Batman what happens when his birds fly loose. He did not expect to find Robin bleeding from his back and screaming in pain.
or: Gotham picks the worst possible time to start Tim's fledging, but it ends up bringing a family back together, so that's a win, right?

Summary
"Why haven't you fused with anyone, Joker? With your skills, the combination would be a great boon to the infiltration." Morgana asked. Akira bit his tongue.
"Well... I can't fuse." He said, already continuing onwards before Mona could say anything. "Convicted criminal here, remember? The government does not subscribe to criminals having access to fusion." Akira self-consciously showcased the band around his wrist.
Ann pulled a face, dusting off her body suit. "I forgot about that. It is almost inhumane if you think about it."
Aka. Persona 5 Royal, but people can fuse Steven Universe style. Except Akira is a convicted criminal on probation, the thieves utilise this immensely and Akechi cannot risk exposing his plan by fusing with others.

Summary
A chance encounter with Astaroth just a few months early results in Rin discovering some secrets that no one wanted him to find out, certainly not on his own with demons whispering in his ear. Curiosity coupled with hurt and betrayal is a disastrous combination, that Rin might not be able to come back from.

Summary
When Satan comes to take Rin home to Gehenna, Rin has to think of some way to save himself and Shiro all on his own. Out of impulse, he makes a deal with Satan–after hearing Satan complaining about how he can't exist in Assiah because he destroys everything he touches, Rin suggests having a small piece of himself in Rin all the time–specifically, his head. Satan agrees as long as Rin doesn't give them away and no one is any the wiser as he starts as a student and Exorcist-in-Training at True Cross Academy.

Summary
Amamiya Ren has run the gauntlet and survived. Cognitive divinities, overenthusiastic therapists, rogue AI - you name it, he's dealt with it. His reward? A comfortable college life with a new family, a loving girlfriend, and a group of friends who would do anything for him. But for some reason, fate seems to like screwing with him in particular.
Now Ren finds himself in a new and dangerous world full of demi-humans, actual humans (which look nothing like he remembers), rampant bigotry, and magic of the distinctly non-persona variety. With no idea how he got here, and only the concept of a plan to get back, the former leader of the Phantom Thieves hitches his wagon to a unique Elda with an even more unique book.
A retelling of Metaphor: ReFantazio wherein Amamiya Ren joins the Protagonist's quest to save the prince of Euchronia, and his unique skillset and knowledge will hopefully tip the scales in their favor.
