Summary
It starts with the Karasuno team learning that Tsukishima and Yamaguchi are not only dating now, but have been dating for a while. While they don't necessarily not believe them, the concept that Tsukishima is at all an appropriate love match for Yamaguchi is so baffling to the team that they accidentally work themselves up into challenging the couple, deciding to prove that any pairing among them could be a better couple.
Tsukishima and Yamaguchi, with nothing better to do, decide to enable this behaviour, and set out a list of tasks they have to complete that align with typical couple stuff they themselves do. Combined with a group chat that requires regular photo evidence, a very unregulated point's system and the combined capacity of Tsukki and a Yamaguchi to bullshit with their friends, our three new couples - Daichi and Suga, Asahi and Noya, and Hinata and Kageyama, are going to suddenly find themselves getting very up close and personal. If only there weren't already a huge well of simmering romantic tensions and long-term crushes.

Summary
"Charles completely lacked an understanding of personal space. It was constant. An arm around his shoulder shaking him when he’s found a clue, a hand helping him up and brushing him off when one of their rowdier targets knock him down, a hug when a case gets solved— it’s all a tad overwhelming.
No one touched him this much when he was alive. And the things that touched him when he was dead only did so to tear him apart for their own amusement. So this was all new to him. He wasn’t sure how to react to it.
It’s six months in when Charles decides Edwin’s been reacting the wrong way."
OR
5 times Edwin struggled with his relationship to physical contact, and the 1 time he didn't.

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?

Bruce is a mess when Tim first shows up. He's ruthless and relentless. Certainly not the Batman that Tim knows. So, Tim decides to step in. He'll become Robin. He won't replace Jason. That's something he knows he'll never be able to do. But he'll fulfill the need for a Robin.
Tim knows he's nothing more than a placeholder. Still, he wishes that Batman would accept him. He wishes Bruce would accept him. He can dream. He does dream. But he always wakes up. And he wakes up to a Batman that wants his son back.
Or: Tim fulfills the need for a Robin and takes the brunt of Batman at his worse. Later down the line, Bruce wonders if he'll ever be able to fix the damage he's done to Timothy Drake.

Summary
Dick's voice was harsh and commanding, when he spoke next, the scar on his cheek pulling taut with all the stress he was under:
“Captain Wayne! We have a potential gas leak.”
“Where?”
Dick looked at Tim, and the young man answered without hesitation:
“Second holding bay. It looks… What could be the reason for that?”Or: An explosion hits and Dick is injured. As he struggles with a head injury, he is reminded of what brought them all together on this ship, the Dark Knight, in the first place.

Summary
The night Tommy disappeared, it went like this:
Tubbo screamed the words that became his goodbye. He can’t accept that Tommy is gone, because that would be accepting that the last words they exchanged were angry and intended to hurt. So he doesn’t accept it. He’ll search for years if he has to.
Techno let Tommy leave without so much as trying to stop him. He’s replayed the memory of that night and wished he’d done anything else, until he thinks the guilt might be enough to destroy him. He thinks he might already be on his way there.
And Quackity can’t help but feel like this is all just a bitter echo. This town is cursed, and Tommy is only its latest victim.

Summary
When powers came, the world changed. They became another subject in laws, restrictions coming down to try and save the world. Licenses and safe zones were created for specific ability usage, and soon everyone’s ability was registered. Abilities became the norm, and the world turned again.
There were of course, people that never got abilities, but they’re really only a footnote.
With the influx of powerful abilities, or specs, as the government calls it, there suddenly came an influx of heroes and villains as well. But, they were technically just people. The government offered state of the art technology for people to hone and train their abilities, and in turn the people would offer their services. Eventually, society began to call these specs “heroes”.
However, there were specs who refused to bow to the government. They refused to become just another tool. They protected their own, but only their own. Slowly, the moniker, “villain” was casted onto them, and that was that.
But this is the story of a lone vigilante, who somehow made the connection between hero and villain, spec and non spec.
The vigilante was known as Big T, or Innit, or Theseus, or Gremlin. But his name was really just Tommy. -

Summary
“Have you ever heard of the vigilante; Honeybee?”
The question made Tubbo choke lightly on his water. Tubbo swallowed it down with a raised hand, hitting his chest lightly before he could speak again, “the vigilante Honeybee?” Tubbo echoed. “Um, Sorta?” Tubbo said with a shrug.
(If only Sam knew. . .)
-
In which, Tubbo’s vigilante career isn’t doing a good enough job of keeping a roof over his and his best friend Tommy’s head so Tubbo decides to be an intern for some higher up superhero’s.
And just when Tubbo thinks his luck can’t get any better - his bosses (along with Tubbo’s coworker, Ranboo) are trying to hunt down his alter ego; Honeybee.
Oh! And on top of that some hero’s - that are old friends of Dream - are trying to find Tubbo and Tommy because they’re “worried about the teens” and “they’ve been missing for four months”.
Can’t Tubbo ever get a break?

Summary
Sixteen-year-old Tommy Bedrock has had enough of playing it safe. He decides to become a vigilante despite his diagnosed health issues and his protective brother and best friends. Let's just hope Technoblade doesn't find out.
Technoblade Bedrock, the bulky cafe owner in District 10, however, has a lot on his plate. Aside from taking care of two growing teenage boys, fighting the criminals of L'manburg, and running his small business, he needs to look for his hero-turned-villain associate, the great Philza Craft.
Philza Craft... was not having the best week. He had missed Tommy's birthday (Something he had been doing for the last ten years) and then he was kidnapped by a trafficking agency. The same trafficking agency that killed his eldest son, Wlbur. At least he gets to meet his grandson in prison?
Wilbur Cra- Soot. Wilbur Soot had not seen the sun for an entire decade. It's about time he gets out. Of course, there's the blackmail. But the idea of going outside seems worth it... Who the fuck is Big Man Innit?

Summary
Tommy was once a slave. That's gone now - shoved in his past with the memories of blood and gore and death. He wants to forget who he was; what he has to do to survive.
Of course, the Elementalists will always come back to haunt him. They aren't the ones who killed his mother, but they're close enough.
And now he and his brother have been dragged into the mess, as Elementalists with their own, separate covens, to find the Pit - the place where he'd lived and killed and hurt for the first twelve years of his life.
His coven can't know. Can't know who he really is, what he can really do. Can't know anything about his past.
He doesn't want a coven full of Elementalists who don't trust him; one of whom he's pretty sure despises him. He doesn't want that life.
He wants the life of a pickpocket, on the streets, because nobody questions street kids, and nobody comes asking about his past and pushes him to tell his secrets that he holds closest inside.
Tubbo tries to tell him to trust people.
But trust is how you die.

"My sons are a bit of a handful, so keep that in mind. One of them's your age though, so I think you'll get along well."
"And the other?" Techno raised an eyebrow, curious to learn as much as possible before his inevitable social interaction, "How old are they?"
Phil pressed his hand to the oak wood door, sending his ally a glance, "Eleven. Play nice with him. He's a gremlin child who doesn't understand boundaries... prepare for a lot of questions."
He didn't have time to process all the information that rattled his brain as the man swung the door open, announcing loudly, "KIDS! I'm home!"
Or...
Phil reveals his family to his long time ally, Technoblade, as they flee to his home server to escape their enemies. Techno meets Philza's sons for the first time.

Summary
(Yes the title is from sofia the first, yes I'm laughing at it, I find it funny-)
In which Phil has created the Antarctic Empire from the ground up and takes in Techno and Wilbur along the way, and raises them while also ruling his kingdom. Tommy, sixteen, lives with Tubbo in an orphanage, the two of them running around in the cold streets of their town.
After a hectic day of getting separated from Tubbo, getting into a few fights, and ending up in an entirely new town, he comes across Phil, and saves him from an assassination attempt by smashing a plate over someone's head.
So then both Techno and Wilbur decide to see who this kid is, and Tommy sure is endearing, in the way that the first time they spy on him, he starts a fight in an alleyway over a bag of cookies.
(and then Tommy basically gets kidnapped into the royal family, but like, legally, y’know?)

Summary
Phil doesn’t go into the cities anymore. Once had been enough, and he doesn’t have a death wish.
He chooses only to watch them in the distance, or pass by them from time to time as he walks. The buildings loom in the distance, their once-shining rooftops now overgrown and dull with no one to take care of them. If you get close enough, you smell the stench of rot and death. It’s a smell you can never get out of your nose, discovered one night after the initial wave where Phil tried desperately to scrub out his nose, sticking cloth and then even fingers as far up as he could to try and wash the smell out of his sinuses. It didn’t work, and the smell has stayed with him since. He tries to look past it, look past the cities, and continue walking forward. That’s what he attributes his survival to, really. The ability to look past everything, stare the dead in the eyes, and still walk on after he’s shot them in the head. They were people once, but thinking about it too much makes his hands start to shake so Phil looks past it and walks on.
