But it’s Nightwing who is calling. What’s he going to do—say no? Preposterous. That's a crime in and of itself. Tim would rather swallow nails and kiss his mother goodnight than say no to Dick Grayson. “How can I help you, Nightwing?”

Summary
or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.
Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.
Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.

Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Summary
Whisper blinked, dumbfounded. “Nix what—”
“Tommy! Tommy, can you hear me?” She scooped up the body and Whisper finally got a decent look at him.
He was young, too young to be passed out alone in a rainy alley. His blonde hair was darkened by water and streaks that must have been blood if his batter face was anything to go by. His skin was pale and his body trembled slightly, even in unconsciousness.
Whisper moved side by side with his partner, pulling out first aid supplies and searching for major injuries. “You know this kid?” he asked.
--- or ---
What do you get when one of the city's most famous vigilantes is actually a sixteen-year-old with the opposite of flashy powers and severe trust issues? A tragedy in the making, that's what.

Summary
“Thank you, sir.” Peter turned facing M.J. and Ned’s silhouettes that wobbled against the rising sun.
“Call me Stephen,” Doctor Strange said.
Peter smiled, “Thank you, Stephen.” The name felt odd coming out of his mouth.
The laugh was slight, barely even one. “Still feels weird.” Stephen smiled; it was small and didn’t cause the edges of his eyes to crease.
“I’ll see you around.”
The Magician stared at him, eyes mourning something already lost. “Good luck kid.”

Summary
Peter didn't plan any of this. He didn't plan to fall into the arc reactor holding a mysterious, glowing metal ball he grabbed off an alien. He didn't plan to wake up screaming and in pain outside of a strange city. He didn't plan to go to Gotham, New Jersey.
He might not have planned it, but he's here now. Now Peter needs to find a way home with no ID, no money, and seemingly no way to contact Doctor Strange or anyone else back home for help. But perhaps the wheelchair-bound librarian, a dangerous man with probable ties to crime, and a young genius can help him figure out how to get home.
That is if Spider-man can get on the good side of the local Bats.
Updates on the 1st and 15th of the month.

Summary
Peter knew that he should be grateful. He had disappeared into nothingness and had no reason to be back, but he was. Tony had saved him. The man had invented time travel to bring back the missing half of the population, and that included Peter. At first, he was grateful to have more time with May and to get to grow up and all that, but once the initial shock wore off, the realities of life were catching up with him and he was beginning to question whether this had been a good thing after all.

Summary
Spider-Man has his whole life figured out. He's got himself an apartment at 16, a job, and a secret identity to boot. He's alone, but he's content. But when hero after hero begin showing up at his door for one reason or another, his shaky foundation begins to crumble. Combined with the nefarious villain scheme of the month, things seem more uncertain than ever.
It'd be rude to kick everyone out, though, right? (And just maybe, he doesn't want them to leave in the first place.)

Summary
Jason is both annoyed and weirdly flattered when the replacement turns up to ask him for help. He mentally rearranges his calendar so he can be free Wednesday evening and says, “No, fuck off, I have very important business going on.”
Tim eyes his 72” TV playing Japanese wrestling more judgmentally than it really deserves.
“Important crime things,” Jason emphasizes. “Make Wingdick do it.”Jason doesn't think much of it when Tim needs his help, or Damian moves in, or even when Dick turns up looking beat all to hell. But at some point he realizes that he might be the best option his brothers have to recover from the cycle of violence that Batman has set up, and all he can think is that things were much easier when he was the villain.

Summary
Some people think that Peter is Tony's son. Why shouldn't they? Peter seems to be orbiting Tony all the time, and it's not like the billionaire tells him off. They have a nice relationship - Peter is glad to have a father figure, and Tony cares for the kid as if he's actually his son.
The first problem regarding this arises when the people who think that Peter is Tony's son kidnap him for ransom.
The second problem regarding this arises when one of the people who kidnaps Peter turns out to be Mac Gargan, the Scorpion, and he's hungry for revenge.

Summary
“Mr. Stark? Is something, is something wrong? What are you doing here?”
“Hop in, Underoos.” Peter hasn't heard the nickname in months. He slides into the seat next to Tony. “How’s school?”
“It's good, Mr. Stark.”
“Out with it, kid.”
“Out with what?”
“You’re a terrible liar. Your suit’s AI sends me a trending vitals report at the end of each week. There's no way you can get around that, even if you say pretty please. It’s preprogrammed.”
“That's, that’s interesting.”
“You know what else is interesting? That your AI Karen has restricted me from certain files in your suits memory. I, Tony Stark, the creator of your suit, was told no. Imagine my surprise.”Peter Parker attempts to juggle being Spider-Man, a high school student, and traumatized all at the age of sixteen. Aunt May does her best to be supportive of her superhero nephew and Ned is always there to be his Guy in the Chair. Sometimes, it's still too much for Peter. When he thinks things can't get even more complicated, a villain inserts itself into the mix. When Tony Stark decides to awkwardly step in, he tries to help Peter understand that his own health needs to come before Spider-Man. Peter isn't sure if he agrees.

Part One of Home Again, Home Again.
I saw a comment right about when Phil 'adopted' Ranboo on the Dream SMP that said something along the lines of "Phil's just gonna adopt the whole server at this point" and I decided 'why not?"
Preface:
Phil loved children.
His hobby, however innocent it may have started, has a much deeper meaning behind it.
