Summary
So, it didn’t start out like this.
Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-
So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.
It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:
“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”
--
A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Summary
All Aegon has ever known is his mother's fear and rage, his father's cold indifference, and his grandfather's blind ambition. Unable to handle eternally falling short of their exceptions, or to face the threat of war on the horizon, he buries himself in his vices in order to cope, and waits for the world to be set aflame by the King's passing.
Until Helaena gives him some advice that changes the course of his life, and the future: try and revive his old bond with his nephew, Jacaerys. If Aegon can convince him that he is no threat, then maybe Rhaenyra and the rest of the realm will believe it too.
And if that means sneaking out to Dragonstone on Sunfyre? Learning more of his eldest sister and her family then he has ever before known? Realizing how kind and brave, smart and maybe even beautiful Jace is? And if those things together, shift the course of the Dance of Dragons, and House Targaryen forever?
Well, who could have foreseen that?
Or:
Aegon accidentally joins the Blacks, falls in love, and fights a war, not necessarily in that order.

Summary
Permadate (Permanent Date)= an arrangement between you and another person where you both agree to be each other’s dates for social engagements, family functions, or any other event where you need a plus-one.
Percy Weasley gets the idea for a “permadate” from his brother Charlie and decides he also has use for one. With upcoming wedding obligations as well as professional obligations as he climbs the career ladder towards becoming the head of the Department of Magical Transportation a permadate seems like a fantastic idea. For starters it would get his mum off his back and stop her from trying to set him up with every eligible woman she can find.
His plan involves his old friend Oliver Wood who seems more than willing to go along with the plan.
**Please note that this fic will remain unfinished. I have essentially had to do a second draft of it to fix some glaring issues which came from not having an outline and writing on vibes alone. If you would like, you can read the edited version under "Carry Me Home"**

Summary
"Are you happy now, that he's on the ground
And do you realize the words you say make bruises that don't fade away
Are you happy now, that you've brought him down
And he's thinking that he won't fit in
'Cause you said something's wrong with him
Are you happy now?"
Are You Happy Now by Meg and Liz
---Percy is near his breaking point.
He just can't do it anymore. It's become too much. One night, when he attempts to jump off the Astronomy Tower, he's pulled back at the last second by the last person he ever thought would be there.
~~
Oliver Wood never bothered to get to know his dormmate. They'd essentially lived separate lives. Now he felt guilty. Guilty for treating him like he wasn't there. guilty for not recognizing the signs.
He decides he wants to get to know Percy Weasley. And that year, the boys develop a deep friendship. Over the course of that year, Percy feels a sense of belonging. he feels love and acceptance for who he really is.

Summary
“It’s 1976,” Petunia breathed as she brushed a finger at the date on the Woman’s Own magazine. "It’s 1976, a good 15 years before I was even conceived. I’m in the London Hospital, an ocean away from where I was born. And my soul is in the body of a woman named Petunia Evans. Does that mean Petunia’s soul is in my body? Or is she dormant, sleeping, inside this one?" A shiver of terror ran through her. "Or is she dead?"
Petunia Evans was her name now. And she had a sister that needed saving, and a future nephew that needed spoiling. Hopefully she could create a timeline which consisted of both?

Summary
When Damian Wayne started sophomore year, he expected it to be as dull and pointless as freshmen year. Being trapped in a building full of idiots for seven hours learning things he already knew was about the least productive thing he could think of doing, yet here he was. Sitting here. Half-listening. Trying not to murder anyone.
The year takes a turn for the interesting when Tessa Morgan beats him on a test and Damian might have possibly threatened her, starting a competition between the two of them that leads them both down a path they would never have suspected.
A story of first love mixed in with the Wayne name, secret identities, and superhero antics. What could go wrong?

Summary
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.
There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.
“Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

She’s been wronged before, after all, by people like Julian Rosier, whom she once considered friends. Can she let down her defenses for love?

Summary
(Previously known as "memento mori," renamed (for obvious reasons) to "invictus" = "unconquerable,")
As he looked at the filthy ceiling, he sighed and prepared to repeat his mantra of everything that should keep him going, then stopped himself. There was no point. His family would never find him, and he couldn’t escape this living hell on his own. A hopeless feeling creeped into his chest. The harsh ringing in his ears faded to silence.
That’s when he noticed the first voice had started talking.
Hello, Technoblade.
Or,
Ever wonder how Techno got those voices in his head?

Summary
Technoblade owes Dream a favor.
And, like Tommy had feared, Dream ends up calling it in to get Techno’s help in order to bust out of the prison.
Except… Techno gets another idea after noticing a loophole in Dream’s request.
An idea that would keep the other members of the Syndicate safe.
An idea that would free himself of any fear of retribution.
...and an idea that might just inadvertently save the SMP.
