    Summary

    The city changes in slow motion.

    He learns its alleys. Its fire escapes. Its shadows.

    It’s not Queens. But it doesn’t try to be.

    And that, he realizes one night while watching the moon rise over Crime Alley, is its kindness.

    Gotham doesn’t ask you to be okay.
    It doesn’t pretend to save you.
    It just gives you a place to fall apart.

    And the people—
    They’re sharper here. Scarred. Softer than they look.

    Tim lends him books he doesn’t finish.
    Damian insults his hair, then teaches him how to hold a katana.
    Dick teaches him how to fall without injury.
    Cass teaches him how to move without being seen.
    Jason teaches him how to aim—and how to miss on purpose.

    Or, grief is a second skin and Gotham is the only place it fits.

    Summary

    Signal disappeared first. Eyewitnesses claimed that there had been nothing out of the ordinary - no men in masks, no gunshots, nothing. Signal was there, and then he wasn’t.

    The rest of them had been notified within mere minutes. Oracle had lost communications with his trackers, then his comm link. Even his phone line was disconnected.

    Or:
    The Bats are facing problems in Gotham; Peter is facing problems everywhere. Worlds collide.

    Summary

    Peter Parker does not know how he got where he is. Speaking of, he doesn't exactly know where he is either. What he does know is he is falling from the sky, and fast. And that crash landing isn't going to be pretty.

    Summary

    Peter’s gotten used to Gotham by now. The thousand little sounds that build up to the cacophony of a city in controlled chaos. But it isn’t home, and it never will be, and the more time passes, the more that thought makes him twitch. He’s frustrated by it, annoyed that he feels like he’s forcing his way through a world that doesn’t belong to him. Worse, the Soul Stone is starting to become more and more of an issue. As if it senses something coming.

    Tony's last words had been 'the threat always comes back.' Thanos won't be thwarted forever, only delayed. Eventually, he's going to hunt down the stray Soul Stone that Peter holds.

    The Bats have a few opinions on that. The Avengers that have fallen into this other world have a few of their own. And there's the problem of Dr. Strange's letter...

    Summary

    Ten years ago, Sera, once Seraphiel, descended upon Hell to investigate how Adam was handling the Exterminations. Or more accurately, how he was mishandling them. Unfortunately, she messed up the spell, and found herself in the body of a thirteen year old Imp with no memory of who she was. Adopted by the Tumbleweeds, for the next five years she was Millie... Until her memories as Sera returned.

    Millie didn't go away though, which was fine by Sera. She'd always had multiple personalities, and Millie was a better iteration of her more violent personality than the Monster.

    Five years later, and a lot has happened. She met her best friend, met his surly Hellhound daughter who she was certain was King Solomon reborn, started a business with him, met her husband. And now? her husband and best friend are dealing with a sham trial, with the verdict being death.

    It seems Sera (much like her best friend's "o", the Phiel was silent) is going to have to reveal herself to save their lives...
