Summary
All Jason wanted was a case that was simple, clean, and far away from the latest mess in Gotham. Magic wasn't the Outlaws' area of expertise, but they soon found themselves investigating a dark wizard with a penchant for organ harvesting.
When an accident on the case leaves Jason as a clueless seven year old with a memory that's spotty at best, what else can his team do but go to his family for help?

He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”

Summary
A new vigilante has started to stalk the criminals of Gotham and unlike the Bat, he's ending them where they stand. Batman is trying to team up with Nightwing to put the serial killer behind bars but between his own ailments, Dick's distraction with a mysterious and foul-mouthed young man named JT Bennet, and Tim's constant interrogations he's not sure he'll survive this investigation. (This story contains some canon but does not follow it. I cannot warn enough that this story is NOT canon compliant and because of this some characters will be a little OOC. Dick Grayson is GCPD instead of Bludhaven because I didn't like the man he became once he moved there. Other stuff changes to fit my story line. This is a male on male slash story with some explicit content.)

Summary
‘Green.’
‘I don’t believe you.’
Steve grits his teeth, drops his head.
His hands are bound at the front, the rope of his wrists running down between his closed knees, around his cock, against his balls and under still, all the way to his ankles. Any movement of the hands drags friction. Clever design, but then Eddie always was the fucking Picasso of pain.
Steve tells himself he’d have said no to the drink.
It’s such a fucking lie.
Just like the green.

Summary
‘Nah, I wanna be the Alpha,’ Steve laughs easily, light-hearted and disconnected from reality, god, Eddie’s jealous. ‘You can be my little bitch.’
Eddie’s cock gives a treacherous kick of applause and that is really, truly the last straw. ‘OK,’ he says loudly, firmly freeing himself, even though Steve takes a decent chunk of hair for his trouble. ‘I gotta go now, for real. Like. I cannot be here for this. You’re in heat, Harrington. You’re…’ He closes his eyes, steps back. There are better people to tell Steve this. ‘You’re an Omega.’
Steve, for his part, is watching Eddie with drunken moody eyes, wholeheartedly unimpressed. ‘I don’t wanna play angsty shit, Munson. That’s dull.’

Steve looks up at the sky and sees stars. Eddie looks up at the sky and sees alien spaceships. It’s going to start with a graveyard shift, a midnight radio hour, and Dustin Henderson. It’s going to end on New Year’s Eve, 1985—one way or another.

Summary
Steve doesn't know what the invisible force that attacked him in the woods is, but he does know three things for sure: that Robin's cryptid podcast is somehow making more money than his Scoops Ahoy manager job; that every seven years something crawls out of a network of tunnels underneath the woods outside of Hawkins, and now it's out for revenge; and that it would be really nice if poltergeists would stop beating him up when he's trying to flirt with the local ghost whisperer.

Summary
“Oh. I’m sorry. Are you-”
“You don’t remember me.”
The feeling is instant. Like a switch labeled self-destruct. Steve feels awful. Like drop-dead, pit-of-stomach, awful. He must mean something to this person. This person he doesn’t even know. This person who liked him enough to ask him on a date. Maybe Steve asked him.
“I’m…I’m really sorry. You’re right. I don’t remember who you are.”or
Steve Harrington finds himself in a hospital bed after a car accident sent him, and his whole world, spinning.
