Summary
Jason recoils. He can’t possibly mean...“Are you firing me?"
“You’ve proven twice over this week that you can’t handle Robin.”
“You can’t fire me! Robin is mine. Robin is me!”
“Robin is Batman’s partner,” the bastard says with about as much expression as a stone wall and twice as cold. He turns away, “and as of today, Batman has no partner.”
(Or: Jason is fired after the Garzonas affair and never finds his birth certificate.)

Summary
Will never shares with anyone. His thoughts, his possessions, and his life are all his and his alone.
Hannibal doesn't take from anyone. He prepares his own food, cleans his own house, and uses his own supplies.
So, when Hannibal starts driving Will's car everywhere, people are curious. Trust is so rare with these two, and it both makes perfect sense and is utter nonsense that it would reside between them.
(Basically, Hannibal borrows Will's car and everyone is super nosy about it.)

Harry James Potter-Graham-Lecter by Jade2005
Fandoms: Hannibal (TV), Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling, Teen Wolf (TV)
18 Jul 2025

Summary
Harry was always an angelic child—sweet, curious, and far too clever for his own good. But when a fateful encounter with a Death Eater throws him into the clutches of the most terrifyingly chaotic family in magical history, everything changes.
Suddenly, he's surrounded by sharp smiles, sharper knives, and people who say they love him but always seem one heartbeat away from devouring him whole.
In a world of ancient magic, bloodlines, and legal duels, Harry becomes the unexpected heir to a legacy filled with power, secrets, and danger. Every adult wants a piece of him. Every law seems designed to control him. Yet with every twist, every manipulation, and every dark temptation, Harry learns to play the game better than anyone expected.
Because beneath his innocence lies something far stronger: resilience, brilliance, and a spark destined to burn through even the deepest shadows.
Faced with betrayal, burdened with greatness, and embraced by a family that might kill for him—or kill him—Harry must carve his own place in a world that underestimated him.
And in the end, he will rise—not just as the Boy Who Lived, but as the Monster they never saw coming.

Return Stroke by viecamille

Summary
Return Stroke: In lightning strikes — the moment in which current flows after connection between the step leader and upward streamer; the most luminous and noticeable part of the overall lightning discharge, called the “flash”.
——
Here was the thing: no one, then or since, had ever heard of the Flash.
No one.
Not once.
Wally had needed to sit with that revelation for a while. In the locked library bathroom, counting out his breaths.
But this was fine. He could deal. Parallel universe. Sure. Why not?
It wasn’t any more theoretical than time travel had been a year ago.
Sure, it theoretically took, uh, several orders of magnitude more energy to accomplish, but it wasn’t impossible.
He was totally whelmed.——
No one in Young Justice has ever heard of the Speedforce. No one on Earth-12 has ever heard of the Flash. Super-speed isn’t always an easy power to handle. None of these facts are conducive to Wally’s return home.
Or: Wally’s stranded, Dick’s haunted, the JL are confused, and superpowers have a tendency to drive physicists insane. Oh, and Wally West is a founding member of the Justice League now. Whoops?

Summary
" Simple, you're not tied down by the system- by anyone. I think we'd get along perfectly in that regard. " He glanced again at your gloved hand, awaiting your reaction.
" You're too imaginative, " Rolling your eyes,
Cheekily, " And yet, you haven't turned me down. " He shot back.
" I could kick you out right now. " A vague threat, but considering how you kept styling his hair-
" You wouldn't. "

Summary
Shen Jiu turned his eyes back to the young cultivator, who had no choice but to nod and bow gratefully in the face of offending his master’s clients.
How fortuitous. The blame had been claimed so thoroughly by Haitang, Qiu Jianluo was blazing full steam ahead on the topic of the manor’s cleansing. The master cultivator himself couldn’t even apologise for his disciple, for fear of offending the Qiu’s further, and all ‘A-Yuan’ had to do now was stand there and wring his hands.
Shen Jiu stared at the other boy. Was it on purpose?
If so, how kind.
Or
From a young age, Shen Jiu knows he is not a good person. He does, however, know who is, and will do everything in his power to protect him.

Summary
The dead greet the living.
We are those who wait at the end of all existence. We are those whose outstretched palm grasps infinity. We are the unchanging conclusion. We are your reflection and your foil.
You are the infant, new from the cradle. You are they who sit upon our palm. You are the delicate assembly of experience and change. You are the unfolding entropy.
We greet you on the knife’s-edge of the Balance that you have broken. We seek that which you have taken and sundered. We reach, now, from within that palm, to correct your blind fumbling.
Summon your counsel. Await our arrival.The comms were silent. The snowing sensation had resolved within Tim’s mind but it was still there, a banked presence that he could reach for, and when he did, he heard the message again. His breathing came faster and harder.
Jason was the first to react.
“What the fuck?”***
Or,
The Justice League has missed something catastrophic and tragic in equal measure.
Good thing this is just the sort of mystery Red Robin likes to sink his claws into.

“Come on Vander! I’m sure it’s not far from here.”
“You said that half an hour ago Felicia!” Huffed the older of the two while hoisting himself over a stack of vents to join the other atop the warehouse roof.
“Ok yeah, but now I know we’re close. Can’t you smell the river?”
She crouched down and reached her hands out to help her friend up.
“Wow…” Felicia whistled in wide-eyed amazement. “Now I understand why they call it Topside. Just look at those columns!”

“So then—” Minho says, a smile blooming on his face, “I’ll be the charming prince of your dreams who rescues the romantic beast from your jaded, withered heart.”
“‘Rescues?’” Jisung laughs, trying to stamp out the butterflies rising behind his ribs. “Not ‘slays?’”
“Why?” Minho asks with a puzzled frown. “He deserves a happy ending just as much as anyone else.”
“Oh.” Jisung is definitely blushing. “That… might be the most romantic thing I’ve ever heard.”
“Oh,” Minho echoes. “Then we’re off to a good start.”
(or: Jisung has a bucket list full of his deepest, darkest, most embarrassing romantic desires and a lost hope that he will ever experience the fairytale romance of his dreams. Minho changes everything.)

Summary
“I’ve been thinking… have you ever wanted to…” his sentence falters into nothingness. If it weren’t for the pistol I might have grasped his hands firmly in mine, telling him it’s okay.
There is only a thin layer of concrete separating us from the world of civilized conformity and ethical boredom. We are actors in differently priced costumes standing behind the stage and Bateman has forgotten all his lines.Series
