    Summary

    Danny would like to say for the record that it was not his fault.

    In fact, Danny would say that it was entirely Clockwork's fault. After all, he wouldn't even be in this situation if it wasn't for that cryptic time god.

    But what was his fault was the fact that he kept helping.

    He kept taking the cash from the assholes messing with the residents who lived in the area (and damn there were a lot of assholes near where he lived). He kept accepting their offers of food. So because of this new routine that kept him able to afford to rent out his shitty (and possibly illegal) apartment and the hunger pangs sufficiently satisfied, rumors grew.

    tldr; after Clockwork dropped of Danny in Gotham he tries to make the best out of the situation which includes helping out some people. Except along the way that led to rumors that he was an up-and-coming crime boss. A rumor he was largely unaware of.

    Not Abandoned! Slow updates.

    Summary

    “Hey, I need you to watch this for me.”

    Not looking up from his computer, Tim hums absently in agreement with Jason’s sudden demand. Steph had challenged him to make something that could play Doom in Minecraft, and he knows that he’s almost got it, the answer’s right there, he just needs to do a little more tweaking on his latest attempt, and then he’ll take a break from the game. Steph’s going to owe him seven cups of coffee, and victory will be sweet.

    In retrospect, it may have been a bad idea to agree to do anything for Jason without first checking what, exactly, the asshole is asking him for.

    ...

    In a startling turn of events, Jason leaves not one but TWO kids with the Titans for them to look after.

    Summary

    Finding himself stuck in a universe entirely unlike his own seemed like the perfect opportunity to move on for Peter.

    Having spent the last 5 years barely living and now jaded with the vigilante world, hanging up the spidersuit indefinitely to focus on being a normal 20 something y/o instead of unpacking his trauma (and the effects the aftermath of NWH had on him) is a corner he’s more than willing to cut.

    But undoing years of emotional isolation isn’t exactly easy and it seems the harder he pushes to tuck his past away the quicker it all seems to catch up to him.

    Join Peter as he struggles with the everyday problems of an ex-superhero turned interdimensional transfer student with emotionally avoidant tendencies. And did I mention broke? Because it's college. Who isn’t!

    Featuring: bad decisions, an overly invested TA, a grumpy neighbour and his equally grumpy (albeit scarier) younger brother (sorry ‘parasitical, situation-based responsibility’ ...whatever that means), a boss w/questionable morals We Are Ignoring bc Paid Internship!!, crime fighting & poorly disguised brunch Interventions he really should stop falling for. Because he’s fine. Fine!

    Summary

    Peter had been exposed for who he truly was, his identity and backstory broadcasted to the world. They’d turned on him, called him a villain, a killer, a monster even after all the good he had done.

    Exposed as Hydra to be more specific, Peter didn’t know how or by who, but it was discovered that Peter was born and raised by Hydra. Raised to be a killing machine, and despite saving the world from Thanos he was considered Public Enemy #1.

    He was tired of saving the world, tired of constantly pushing himself to prove to himself that he was good. He was so fucking tired. So he decided to leave, what good would come from staying anyway?

    And he does, Peter leaves and finds another universe, one where he can put his superhero life behind him. One where he can just be, and maybe find friendship and even love along the way.

    Summary

    Peter felt the pain of his body trying to knit itself together even as it was torn apart. His spidey-sense screaming at him of the danger, danger that he couldn't escape. He begged anyway, begged Mr. Stark to save him. He knew it wasn't fair on the man... he did it anyway. Holding back tears, Peter apologized to his mentor as he fades away into dust.

    Green, a bright fluorescent Green fills his vision, he's drowning in it. Drowning. He can't breathe, the green fills his nostrils, his mouth, his lungs. Until he isn't, he's not drowning and he breathes in desperately, coughing out the green liquid as he greedily gasps for air.

    There's no one to tell Peter he's okay, not the warming presence of his Aunt, the scent of cinnamon to fill his nostrils, nor the motor oil he'd become so familiar with from his mentor. He was well and truly alone in this cold, dark world.

    Would he find a way home? Or would he have to create a new one in the unfamiliar world?

    (I've set this work as Mature for the heavy mentions and depictions of self-harm and suicidal thoughts)
