    Summary

    Something is happening in the Preserve. The ley lines are humming. Someone has been drawing ritual circles in clearings that haven't seen magic in a generation. And there's a boy—a teenager, living rough in the woods—who smells like woodsmoke and ozone and something impossible. Derek wants him gone. Derek wants him caught, interrogated, expelled, because the last time someone showed up in Beacon Hills smelling like something they shouldn't, people died. But the boy won't talk. The boy runs. The boy looks at Derek with amber-gold eyes and a sharp jaw and an expression of such carefully controlled grief that it makes Derek's wolf howl. And Stiles—Stiles, who was supposed to be leaving, who had one foot out the door and a Georgetown acceptance letter on his laptop—Stiles can't stop looking at the boy either, because something about him feels like recognition. Like déjà vu. Like coming home to a house you've never lived in.

    Summary

    ”He’s recently watched his first love die, sire.”

    Arthur froze, and Morgana felt an uncharacteristic laugh bubble in her throat. She swallowed it down.

    Merlin left. Because his first love died.

    That does seem like the kind of thing to break him, doesn’t it?

    OR

    Merlin's bitterness towards Arthur for Freya's death is only increasing day by day, when a letter arrives from a dragonlord, claiming to be his father. Desperate for a break from destiny, Merlin leaves Camelot. He returns over a year later, but things are not the same. He has people-- and dragons-- to look after. And there comes a problem when Morgana starts behaving strangely, her glares towards Arthur a little too angry to be normal...

    Summary

    No one in the entire world hates Bruce Wayne more than Danny Fenton. Danny can honestly say that everyone in Gotham are idiots if they think Bruce is an airheaded playboy. The guy is an asshole.
    Danny moved to Gotham after college and used ghost king money to start up an aerospace engineering firm. When Danny got settled he started up a collection for his favorite show 'Gray Ghost', he'd been introduced to it when his dad got the VHS copies thinking they were haunted. He had loved it ever since and finally he had the money and space to get some ultra rare memorabilia.
    Unfortunately, someone always beat him to the punch.
    Bruce. Fucking. Wayne.
    Meanwhile Bruce is juggling being Batman, Brucie Wayne, and now being a guardian to the bat kids . On top of that he has to manage around his crush on the one other truly good philanthropic man in Gotham that has the same love of corny detective shows as him. Bruce has tried to talk to the guy at galas but Daniel seems to hate him. Which. Well. Isn't exactly a turn off.
    Bruce's Kids are starting to suspect that Batman might be an idiot actually. Danny is oblivious to Bruce Wayne's attraction. It doesn't help that Phantom has a crush on Batman.

    Summary

    Gotham has shown up on the Infinite Realms’ violation list one too many times.

    Resurrections, Lazarus pits, an absurd death rate, and a liminal saturation reading that makes ancient ghosts swear—if someone doesn’t fix it, the automatic solution is quarantine. As in: cut the entire city off from the living world.

    Enter Danny Fenton, very tired Ghost King, sent to perform a “royal inspection.”

    He’s expecting hauntings, maybe a cult or two. He’s not expecting a semi-sentient city, a legion of bat-themed vigilantes, and one very angry, very Lazarus-tainted ex-Robin who’s technically a walking afterlife violation.

    The Infinite Realms want a verdict. Gotham wants to live. Jason Todd would like everyone to stop talking about his soul.

    Danny is just trying not to condemn an entire city before he’s had enough coffee.

    Summary

    Oww, Peter thought blandly as he shifted- no, scratch that, tried to shift- onto his back but quickly decided that wasn’t in his best interest. Voices, both his own and not, swam in his head like a wave beating against his forehead.

    “They’re coming here because of me, right? Because I’m Peter Parker? So cast a new spell, make everyone forget who Peter Parker is. Make everyone forget me.”

    “It wouldn’t be enough. Your very presence would destabilize this universe.”

    Peter finally managed to roll himself over onto his back, ignoring the sharp pain that shot through his spine at the movement enough to sit up and look around. He was in an alley which thankfully held no occupants save himself and the trash littering the ground.

    “But I can… I can send you away. To a place where there is no Peter Parker. No Spiderman.”

    ***

    Also known as:

    The probably- definitely- overdone 'Peter Parker goes to Gotham' trope, but I write what I want to read, so eh.

    Just a warning, please read the tags as I’ve been told that this is one of the darker fics that people have come across in the fandom.

    Completed 😊
