    Summary

    Jason clicked the pen, and started to write on the envelope.

    Dear Mr., “Gotham’s foster care is safe.”,

    Thank you so much for dropping me off at Ma’s personal soldier camp.

    I had a great time, truly a ten out of ten experience.
    I loved the part where I got shot in the arm. A real highlight of my week.

    Thank you for your genius-level, billionaire insight. You really nailed it. Incredible stuff. You could teach a class on how out of touch you rich twats are.

    Since you were so kind to drop me off somewhere so safe and warm. I thought you might enjoy these documents.

    -Jason Todd


    AKA: Jason Todd gets permanently trapped in his twelve-year-old body after Bruce dropped him at Ma Gunns's School for Boys. This time, he isn't going to Batman for help; he will take on Crime Alley by himself.

    It's not like Bruce actually cares about him.

    Summary

    Let it not be said that Shen Yuan didn’t know how to be an accomplished—arguably better—writer than Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky! A middle-aged author in his hubris, he’d unknowingly triggered his fate and had his consciousness whisked away into an unfathomable mystical world that he would later learn to be based on Proud Immortal Demon Way and his very own work-in-progress. When given the opportunity to customize his character’s stats and to design his one remaining Customizable Skill Slot, as a veteran reader of transmigration stories and their tropes, Shen Yuan demanded, “Grant me the protagonist’s halo of course!”

    The SYSTEM was silent all but for a minute.【Understood. Unique Skill "PROTAGONIST'S HALO" activated. Esteemed Host, you share the Unique Skill "PROTAGONIST'S HALO" with one other.

    “Who?”

    This world’s Luo Binghe. From the original novel series.

    “...Hold on, I need some time to process this.”

    (Little did Shen Yuan know that this world’s Luo Binghe is the same sadistic “Bing gē” from the released Extra short story. It was also too bad that Shen Yuan, in his mortal form, resembled Shen Qingqiu by a good thirty-to-forty percent.)

    Summary

    Dr. Strange looks at the world after Thanos and, faced with its seemingly irreparable brokenness, breaks his own oath. Tony, Stephen, and Loki go back in time for one more chance - an intentional choice, because they are each other's insurance against repeating the same mistakes. Tony wakes up shortly before the Stark Expo with the reactor's palladium core still poisoning him. Stephen wakes up with undamaged hands and a flourishing medical career. Loki wakes up in Asgard one day before Thor's coronation.

     

    "Do I dare disturb the universe? / In a minute there is time / for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse."

     

    [ Yet another take on that time travel fic with lots of worldbuilding, hand-wavey comic book science, political intrigue, inventing, nerding out, and a broken Tony trying to fix a broken world - but this time he's not alone. ]

    Summary

    Severus Snape has his emotions in check. He knows that he experiences anger and self-loathing and a bitter yearning, and that he rarely deviates from that spectrum… Until the first-year Luna Lovegood arrives to his class wearing a wreath of baby’s breath. Over the next six years, an odd friendship grows between the two, and Snape is not sure how he feels about any of it.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan transmigrates, into a world he is told is based on Proud Immortal Demon Way, the crappy Xianxia stallion novel he'd been reading before his death.
    The keywords there were 'based on,' which he missed completely, when he decided to hide in a cave for 300 years and cultivate. After all, he's got no interest in being killed by the protagonist. Better to just wait for him to die out or ascend, and come out after the fact.
    Except, when the System dumps him out into the world, he learns two horrifying truths: the first, the protagonist is very much alive, and is, in fact, a teenager still.
    The second?
    The world he's in isn't Xianxia at all. It's a Wuxia world.

    (Very loosely based on the premise of 'Finding out it's a Wuxia world after cultivating for 300 years,' a web novel I thought sounded cool but never actually read, and thus is not really that relevant for anything but core premise.)
