Summary
When Apollo is banished, the Fates interfere. Instead of falling in a dumpster, they send him back in time, with no memories and no powers, back in the womb - the womb of Mary Grayson. Dick Grayson grows up, and eventually regains his memories. The fates had claimed he had a task to complete - but how can he complete it if he doesn't know what it is? And what was the point in sending him back just to remember?
Whatever it is, Dick knows one thing for sure: he's not going to give up his family. Any of his family. (Screw the laws. Dick is going to be the best dad ever.)

Summary
When the final blow against Kaguya goes wrong, Sakura Haruno doesn’t die—she falls into a world already ending.
The dead walk. Guns rule. Children are expected to be quiet and afraid.
Sakura keeps her chakra, her medical training, and her temper. She keeps the children alive. She keeps a baby she finds in the ruins. She takes over a survivor camp that mistakes luck for leadership and calls it mercy when it hesitates.
The Walking Dead was never prepared for a shinobi who treats apocalypse like a battlefield—and family like something worth fighting for.
Crossover. Sakura-centric. Canon divergence from the quarry onward.

Summary
Hermione has her dream job as an Unspeakable in the Time Chamber. During a collaboration with the Death Chamber she is accidentally sent to the past.
A minor setback, if you must.
Of course, she will be back in her own time before anyone can notice. So far, she hasn’t taken a single day off work and plans to keep it that way.
There is only one tiny problem; she is trapped in another witch's body, and their past keeps getting in the way of Hermione’s path to the future.
Or
Sylvia Selwyn was known for being a meek and quiet witch that hid away in the shadows. Boring, some would call her, including her betrothal, or more correctly; ex-betrothal.
All the students at Hogwarts are shocked to see her back after summer with fire in her eyes and a renewed spirit.
Gone is the quiet girl, and no one is as shocked as her ex-betrothal, who thought he saved himself from a dull marriage with an even duller witch.

Summary
To become a god, one needed only two things:
1. They needed worshippers. Shrines. Lives at their disposal—mortals ready to sacrifice themselves at a moment's notice. They needed belief.
2. The second thing needed was the attention of the Fates.
Sometimes, the Fates take special care in certain strings. They weave these more carefully. Thoughtfully. Godly strings glow gold. These strings have a distinct golden sheen.
Percy Jackson achieved both of these. It doesn't matter he turned down the offer of godhood. It would come.

Summary
Dick never told Bruce what happened with Slade while he was in Jump City, not wanting his dad to worry (and not wanting to look weak). But now, years later, they need Deathstroke's help on a mission, and the truth finally comes out to his entire family, and to the League.
And, as per usual, Slade Wilson has a few dozen agendas up his sleeve.

Now, years later, Deathstroke has planted bombs throughout the city on a job with a ticking clock - they need to know the locations, but Slade isn't talking.
Dick knows he'll talk to him. He owes him, after all that he did.

Summary
The weight of the blade is familiar, and so is the spray of blood he skillfully avoids getting splashed by as he slits his target's throat. He watches for long enough to make sure the woman is dead, that he's done his job, before vanishing out the window.
These deaths don't affect him, not anymore. Slade forced that reaction out of him years ago.
What if the Titans hadn't figured it all out and gone to rescue Robin? What if Dick spent weeks, months, years as Deathstroke's apprentice?
