    Summary

    Jon notices the height difference—he’s looking down at his mother. His father smiles, pride barely masking exhaustion, silver threads glinting at his temples.

    The question claws its way out. “How long was I gone?” His voice cracks.

    Lois and Clark exchange a brief, wordless glance Jon knows too well. Clark finally rests a warm hand on Jon’s shoulder. “Six years.”

    -----------

    What if when Jon came back from space 6 years older, it has been 6 years on Earth too?

    What did he miss? Can he still fit into his family and best friend's life or has it been too long?

    Summary

    Damian had always known his past would catch up with him sooner or later.

    He was an ex-assassin with blood and countless other sins on his ledger. Regardless of his good intentions now, that kind of past doesn’t just go away just because he’s working to redeem himself.

    That being said…he really hadn’t thought this would happen.

    Damian thought as he stared at the crime scene photos his father had pulled up on the batcave computer for review. Of which there were thankfully few but still plenty for Damian to realize just why exactly he recognized the name of the gruesomely bloody man on the screen and why the details of this case had all seemed annoyingly familiar.

     

    I definitely killed this man.

     

    Or-

    Damian is investigating a murder when he realizes the culprit to be himself. His family also individually realizes this and exercises exactly 0 communication skills. Chaos ensues

    Summary

    You didn’t expect me to be someone you cared about. Damian finishes the thought for him, teeth gritting behind his closed lips. His skin is prickling with the pressure of being seen, recognized. It’s not what he wanted. It’s not what he asked for. And yet—when Grayson’s hand brushes his elbow again, steadying him gently as they walk down the fire escape, Damian doesn’t pull away. His instincts are screaming at him to shake the touch off. That’s just sympathy. Just pity.

    It doesn’t mean anything.

    He is just a civilian, Damian reminds himself harshly, over and over like a mantra. He does not matter. His affection does not matter. But the words lose their sharpness the longer Grayson looks at him like that—like Damian is someone, not something broken or dangerous. Not just another shadow in the night.

    Or,

    Damian al Ghul is sent to Gotham with a mission: earn the right to stand beside the Batman. He will not grovel for a place at his father's side like some desperate orphan—he will prove he belongs there. But, Officer Grayson refuses to let the wounded boy he keeps running into disappear into the dark.

    Summary

    Peter freezes for a second, eyes flicking to focus on Steve for one still moment. Then, his gaze drags sideways to Tony, and his eyes clear of confusion.

    "Dad!" he breathes.

    The room goes silent.

    -

    Tony Stark doesn't like to think of himself as any kind of father figure. In fact, after Peter Parker died in his arms on Titan, he's been distancing himself from the kid.

    That all changes, though, after an encounter with a rogue sorcerer that leaves Peter unconscious and unaware. When he wakes up, he gets the date and the year wrong - oh, and he calls Tony Dad. Soon, it becomes clear that something is seriously wrong with the kid. He's talking about people who don't exist, events that haven't happened, and using information he shouldn't know.

    Tony is far from ready to deal with any of it.

    -

    (Post Civil War, and compliant with the MCU save for the Avengers being based in Stark Tower still. Infinity War and Endgame happened, but this story is officially canon-divergent from them. Mainly Irondad and Spiderson. Fic title from Dream by Imagine Dragons.)

    Summary

    *this is an alternative storyline that follows after the ferry incident*

    “I want you out of my house. Pack your things and leave,” May said in as strong as a voice as she could through the tears in her eyes. She blinked them away and shook her head before making her way into her room, not stopping to look at Peter even once.

    Not Peter, she corrected herself.
    Spiderman.

    OR

    the one in which peter gets kicked out after may finds out and has to now learn how to survive when hope seems bleak.
