Summary
They tell Danyal that he was born still and dead.
His mother then lowered his stiff body into the Lazarus pits, where he had sunken down to the bottom and remained there for three days and three nights. When he finally rose to the surface and let out his first cry, they say that he still looked like a dead thing floating on top of the water. His hair had bleached white and his eyes shone green.
OR
A character study in three parts. Danyal, growing up in the League, learning trust and compassion after leaving it behind, and then meeting his younger brother much later, only to see everything he has worked so hard to let go of reflected in the face of a child.

Summary
When he finally gets the door open, there's a man standing in the middle of his room. Red Hood. He looks incongruous in Peter’s space, with his sturdy combat boots brushing against a dirty t-shirt that got left on the floor last night.
“Hey, that was pretty fast,” he says brightly. “I’d love to see how fast you can go when you aren’t taking detours to lose a tail first.”
OR
That one where Peter ends up in Gotham after the events of NWH and is determined to stay on his own so that nobody can get hurt, but the Bats refuse to get the memo.

Summary
A series of snippets in which Jaskier is a Gold Dragon pretending to be a human, and Geralt never quite seems to notice.
This will be marked as finished, because each chapter is a contained incident with no overlying plotline, but I will likely continue to add onto it sporadically.

Summary
The second time that Jason Todd digs his way out of his own grave is pretty much the same as the first.
You’d think he would get better at it with experience. That he would’ve been able to stay calm, think rationally. Instead, the panic sets in before he even opens his eyes. He smells the wet earth and he knows. Some part of him has always been waiting to end up here again.
OR
Jason Todd bleeds to death after Batman slits his throat, and then he wakes up again.

Summary
The wizard takes a slow, deep breath. "I've made a rather large amount of assumptions about you and your character, most of which were unfounded.
Astarion feels his brows raise. "Like what?"
"I—assumed you didn't care about people, in a way you clearly do. I actually warned Briar that I thought you were taking advantage of him, a couple times."
"Yes, and thank the gods you did. I was starting to think that nobody would say anything. It isn't your fault he didn't listen to you." He looks down at his hands, idly picking at some dirt stuck under the edge of a fingernail.

Summary
Space rock crunched under Peter’s armor-clad feet and he dropped his hand from his eyes, turning to Tony. "Mister Stark," he said softly. "What do we do now?”
The question was entirely reasonable, Tony supposed, but being the one expected to answer it was like an infinity gauntlet punch to the gut. (Now there was a unit of measurement he could submit to the CGPM.)
Or: In a billion-to-one cosmic fluke, Tony and Peter both survive the snap and are left alone on Titan with an alien spaceship and no plan in sight. Peter’s presence brings Tony to make a tough call: diverting their course away from Earth in search of food and fuel. With the galaxy in shambles and no clear route home, the two survivors must carve out a path of their own somewhere in the great infinity.

Summary
“I apologize.” The cop finally looked back up at his face, seeming thrilled. “It’s just—it’s been so long. And we finally have you.”
That was a bad word. Not found.
Have.
Stiles wrenched his hand free and took a step back, but before he could even think up a gameplan, he felt a prick in his neck and jerked away, reaching up to slap one hand against it and twisting in the same moment.
One of the others had come up behind him while he hadn’t been paying attention, and his vision began to swim even as his eyes caught sight of the half-empty syringe the guy was holding.
