    Summary

    “What do you think of the Waynes?” Percy had asked Annabeth the week before. “Seems like they’re in Gotham’s headlines all the time, and not always for great reasons. You think they’re involved with the mob or something?”

    “The opposite, actually,” Annabeth had replied, a wry smile on her face.

    “What’s the opposite of the mob?”

    “In Gotham? What do you think?”

    Percy’s eyes had widened. “No. No way. Bruce Wayne is such a goof, there’s no way--,”

    “Wouldn’t that be the best cover, though?”

    ***

    Poseidon once told Percy he was his favorite son.

    But he's not the only one.

    Summary

    “What do you do with the flowers?”

    Al-Haitham paused. “What do you mean?”

    “Like, what do you do with the flowers you cough up? Do you keep them or…?”

    He furrowed his eyebrows. “What—why would I keep them? I obviously throw them away. Why are you asking?”

    “I was just wondering—I mean if you’re not using them—like, if I could possibly…have them?”

    Al-Haitham stared at him incredulously. “You want my unrequited love flowers?”

    “Yes?” Kaveh flushed red. “Since…since you’re not using them.”

    Since you’re not using them—

    “What the hell would I be using them for? What the hell are you using them for?”

    Al-Haitham has Hanahaki disease and coughs up mourning flowers. Kaveh asks if he can use them for his ascension materials.

    Summary

    Pro Hero Deku is perfectly happy with his job as a limelight hero, even if it is a little...dissatisfying at times. He wasn't a fan of the merchandise deals, or the constant badgering from Marketing, or the celebrity status people kept trying to impose on him. But that doesn't mean that he should be an Underground Hero. Not at all. Anyone who suggests otherwise is lying. If only he stopped doing Underground Hero work.
    OR
    Izuku is a hop, skip, and a jump from the world of Underground Heroics, but he is the last person to realize this.
    OR
    Izuku trips and falls into Underground Heroics and never leaves.

    Summary

    The other Peak's disciple looks up at him with too-wide eyes, a too-fake smile and put-upon nonchalance.

    Liu Qingge breathes in, counting the seconds. Precise. Controlled. Then releases all of the air trapped inside his lungs in one fell whoosh.

    "This won't do."

    (A canon divergence of the original PIDW where, instead of going into the caves behind Qiong Ding Peak himself to cultivate, Shen Qingqiu sends Luo Binghe there under the guise of training. Which should have been a great opportunity for him! Really! Unfortunately, Liu Qingge still goes into qi deviation nearby.)
