Summary
Alicent's sobs echoed in the room as she looked at her father, her eyes pleading for a way out of the impending marriage. "Father, please," she choked out, her voice trembling. "Can't you speak to the King? Can't you make him understand that this is not what I want?"
Otto's expression remained unyielding, his voice a mix of authority and paternal concern. "Alicent, this is not just about what you want," he replied, his tone unwavering. "It's about the honor and future of House Hightower. The King's choice is a great honor, and you will fulfill your duty as his Queen."
Gwayne stepped forward, his voice softer, tinged with sympathy. "Sister, I understand your feelings, but our family's position is delicate. The King's favor is not something we can take lightly."
Alicent's tears flowed freely as she looked between her father and brother. "But what about what I want?" she cried out, her voice breaking. "What about my dreams, my aspirations? Am I to be nothing more than a pawn in this game of thrones?"
Otto's gaze hardened, his voice stern. "Your dreams must align with the needs of our house, Alicent. This marriage is an opportunity to secure our family's future."

Summary
Jason Todd is Batman.
Jason Todd was never supposed to be Batman.
Jason Todd never wanted to be Batman.
(Or, in a depressing-but-not-entirely-terrible future, Jason Todd is the third “official” Batman after the deaths of Bruce and his brothers. Getting into his old age and diagnosed with a terminal disease, he passes on the Cowl to his chosen successor, Terry McGinnis, and spends his last years in peace.
And then wakes up on the day Talia threw him into the Lazarus Pit.
Death called it a gift. Jason can only hope to make the most of it.)

Summary
Jason Todd grew up with a fundamental fear of being seen. Not in the sense of shyness, but in the sense of shame. He supposed, if he wished to contemplate the fear’s origins, he might start where most tragedies do:
The house he grew up in.
Where the act of wanting was as good as a death sentence to that desire.
He supposed he might even make an argument for the statement “people become what they are called”. He thinks that might have some merit, looking back.
What he fears most, (like most other people), is how obvious it is to others. The fear itself.
He wonders if they can see it.or
Thanks to a rogue meta, the batfam gets to watch Jason's memories like a movie; and Jason just really wants a family again. But you cannot be loved if you aren't known, and well... if circumstances provide? might as well take the chance, right?

Summary
Peter couldn’t stop coughing up dust.
Which, honestly, was not the best thing to happen to you when you wake up in an alleyway.
It wasn’t even, like, normal dust like that time he got buried alive under a building and he threw up dusty vomit. It was straight up gray dust that he’s like 87% sure used to be his internal organs. The whole snap and dust that Thanos had done seemed to have some real weird side effects.
AKA
Peter Parker in Gotham but the little shit is more focused on how he might now be immortal and how New Jersey sucks ass to remember other important details like survival skills, a living parent, or that he's half his usual height

Summary
Lily Hallowell has one rule: never get personally involved. Not with criminals. Not with heroes. Definitely not with emotionally repressed vigilantes in spandex.
Too bad Gotham doesn’t care about her rules.
With a magic curse that makes her feel lies like a bad allergic reaction, Lily’s been trying to lay low under the name Truthseer—until the underworld wants to use her, the Court of Owls wants to erase her, and the Bats want to figure out what the hell her deal is.
Enter: Nightwing. Charming. Acrobatic. Way too good at making her forget she’s supposed to be keeping her distance.
Now Lily’s stuck navigating criminal allegations, morally grey alliances, and the minor inconvenience of learning how to trust people without puking. Literally.
She never asked to be part of Gotham’s most chaotic found family.
(It's exactly where she belongs.)

Summary
He’d changed.
The expensive suit and watch were missing. Instead, he wore all black now. A long sleeve shirt, black slacks and black loafers. The black leather gloves were the only thing the same. This fact did nothing to calm my racing heart. Something told me the wardrobe change wasn’t a good sign.
“Oh. You noticed,” Roman Sionis said as he walked closer. “Blood is… difficult to get out of linen, so I like to wear something a little more… forgiving when I’m working. Or playing.”
He stalked up to me and grabbed my chin in an iron grip. Tilting my head this way and that, he hummed.
Then smacked me right across the face.
Right where Dylan had hit me earlier.
My lip split again; the scab ripped away by the casual violence. I cried out and held my freshly throbbing face with both hands. Blood poured out of my mouth and I let it drip onto the floor between my bare feet.
“You know what they say… do what you love and you’ll never really work a day in your life,” he intoned. A grotesque amount of glee in his voice. “You have a part to play now, doll.”
I was really beginning to hate that word.

Working as Dick Grayson’s personal assistant, was somehow the most anticlimactic and bizarre thing that had ever happened in her life.
Mainly, because she had only seen the man a handful of times at best. Let’s backtrack a little, shall we?
Or, alternatively: in which the reader gets way more than she bargained for when she starts working as Dick Grayson's personal assistant.

Summary
Peter Parker, like any 14 year old superhero mutant, really wants to catch a break. And yet somehow, he never gets one. He's just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, nothing special, so what gives?
Well, that's only if you don't look at his biology ever since the radioactive spider bite. Or his extensive track record of running away from his guardians and that he was homeless for a bit. Or the amount of people in his life that have died because he's some kind of bad luck charm. Or that his foster-dad is Tony Stark now.
Or the fact that he was randomly kidnapped one morning on his way to school, and now he's in an alternate universe with a bunch of strange vigilantes that keep stalking him.
He thinks they mean well, but they're really weird. Besides that Red Hood guy. He's pretty cool. Though something about them- especially Nightwing- is familiar, that's not important. He has enough on his plate right now, considering there are multiple people trying to upend the fabric of time and space. He can figure out the other details later.

Summary
There's something about this girl, like looking in a funhouse mirror a third of his size. “Oi, kid,” Toji says. “It’s you, isn’t it?”
The girl glares daggers at him from behind a pair of red-rimmed glasses too big for her tiny face. She’s looking at him like he’s totally crazy, which isn’t entirely untrue. “Huh? Who the heck are you?”
In lieu of answering, he asks, “What’s your name?”
The girl scowls. “Maki.”
“Maki,” he repeats, and it’s like a missing piece of his soul falls back into place. The record of his life before he fought the Six-Eyes brat is a long, impossibly white scroll of nothing -- but written on it in faint letters is the name of a child, a child with a delicate name that brushed the heavens, spun a prayer into letters; a name that began with an M, and it ended in i, too.
“Maki,” he says again. “I think you’re my daughter.”
--------
Toji makes a mistake. It changes everything.
