Summary
“No comment.”
“You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”
Bruce gave him a flat look.
“Or maybe I think I can help.”
“With a case of vandalism?”
Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”
“And what makes you say that?”
“If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”
“Is that so?”
“That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”
Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

Summary
Chaos: when the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future. One gene varies, one neuron fires, one butterfly flaps its wings, and Draco Malfoy's life is completely different. Draco has always found a certain comfort in chaos. Perhaps he shouldn't.

Summary
“Please,” she begs, planting herself in front of him to act as a physical barrier, forcing him to stop. “I don’t have anywhere else to go.”
“Melitele’s tits, you’re persistent. Isn’t your…” His left hand does something complicated in a strange flourish, as though grappling for the right word. “... actual father, here somewhere?” It doesn’t sound like the word he’d been searching for, the common honorific somehow sounding foreign in his mouth.
“I was with him,” she admits, thinking about Geralt because he is the closest thing to a father she has now. “But… we got separated.”
The stranger raised an unimpressed eyebrow. “So, now you’re looking to adopt a new one?”
...
Alternatively: When Ciri gets separated from Geralt, she has to rely on the kindness of one reluctant stranger until she can find the witcher again. She doesn't intend to get attached - and it's apparent that neither does the stranger - but destiny always finds a way to fuck things up.

Summary
fathomless / ˈfaT͟Həmləs / adjective – unable to be measure or understood, extremely deep
Wally never expected to come back to Happy Harbor. Not after his near drowning in the sea caves by his childhood home — which inevitably led to his parents’ divorce. But here he was twelve years later, fresh out of grad -school and moving back into his late father’s old house.
A summer spent in the sleepy town he grew up in on the Rhode Island coast should have been idyllic. A quiet three months working in his uncle’s aquarium as he figured out what the hell he wanted to do with his life. But, it turns out, finding a siren tangled in a fishing net at the bottom of the bay would only be the beginning of his troubles.
What happened to the poor Nereid who now haunted Wally’s thoughts? Why couldn’t he shake the feeling that their fates were more tangled than the net he’d cut away from its beautiful tail? And who was the so-called expert called in by the counties Game-Warden to investigate the new predator making waves in the Rhode Island Sound?
The further Wally dug, the deeper the mystery took him — and someone had swim to the bottom of it.
Good thing Wally has his diving license.

Summary
No way in hell was his overprotective father going to let him date not two days after getting home. Not, Newt assured himself, that he intended to date the guy. He just needed a friend. A distraction. That’s what his dads had hoped he’d do when they told him about the family.
Or, Newt comes home from the hospital and falls for the guy who just moved in across the street.

Summary
Leonard McCoy never figured himself for anyone's Prince Charming. But when a planetary crisis and a bid for precious resources puts Pavel Chekov and the crew of the Enterprise in a tricky position, Leonard finds himself engaged to the not-quite-twenty-year-old newly-dubbed monarch of Regalis Prime. Now if only he can navigate ridiculously elaborate wedding planning and try not to offend oversensitive sycophantic aliens, all without letting his fiancé know he's falling for him, maybe the situation won't turn out to be a complete disaster.

In which Klaus (and a frustrated-he-can’t-hug-his-little-brother-Ben) swear not to let Five get hurt with… mixed results, Diego and Vanya just want to help, and Five is more scared than he'll admit.- Language:

Summary
Being adopted into a family is always a strange, special experience.
Especially if you happen to be an old, weathered federal agent who has arrested said family. Multiple times. They fill up his quiet, lonely life with colour and mayhem more than he ever imagined. He begins to realize that, though they need him—he needs them even more.
(Now if only he could get Riley to stop calling him a tree.)

Summary
“For you!” Julian cried, shoving a fistful of weeds in Renfri’s direction, his smile wide and carefree.
Renfri carefully took them in her hands that were only shaking a little bit now, smearing red onto green stems and yellow petals.Julian clambered into the bed beside her and crawled halfway onto her lap. “I got you flowers, ‘cause you’re so pretty like them!”
“These aren’t flowers, they’re weeds.” Renfri told him, rolling her eyes but allowing the contact with ease. Somedays it seemed like Julian was the only person in the entire castle who wasn’t afraid of her.
“They look like flowers.” He said, crinkling his nose.
“They’re dandelions,” Renfri informed her brother with a tiny smile, “They grow everywhere, even places they perhaps shouldn’t. That’s why they’re a weed.”
“Perhaps they’re a little like you,” She teased, “Growing in even the scariest of places with no fear.” Like a monster’s heart, she doesn’t say.
“Like a superpower!” Julian gasped.
Renfri separated one dandelion from the little clutch and reached out to tuck it behind a little ear. “For the stubborn hero, Jaskier.”

“How old are you?” Percival heard himself ask absently.
“19, Mr. Graves.” Was Newt’s tight-lipped answer. He sat down on one of the ornate couches and thanked the house elf who had appeared with a tea set.
“You don't have to call me ‘Mr. Graves’. If we're to be married, I imagine you’ll be using my given name quite a bit.”
“And are we? To be married I mean?”

“I like being a girl.”
“That’s the alcohol talking,” Marinette snorted.
“I’ve always been a li’l jealous,” Adrien admitted.
“... Of what?”
“That you get to be a girl,” Adrien murmured, “and I don’t.”
—
When Marinette and Adrien host Girls' Night at their apartment, Adrien is easily welcomed to attend as "one of the girls"... but has a bit too much to drink. Some drunken confessions are spilt, some assumptions are made, and most of all...
Adrien is confused.

Same Weird Family - New Weird Timeline by MyDarlingClementine
Fandoms: The Umbrella Academy (TV)
20 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
Five decided that it was one of those “good news, bad news” situations.
The good news was that the Hargreeves had made it back to 2019.
The bad news was that their home was now the Sparrow Academy.
The worst news was the strange way Reginald was staring at Five.
---
Starting where S2 ends, the siblings are stuck in the alternate version of 2019 where the Umbrella Academy doesn’t exist.
Five is mostly trying to avoid dealing with the trauma of watching his siblings die (again) while doing his best to figure out how to get his family home.
The others, well…at least they’re trying this time.

Summary
When Jaskier was four, he slipped his mother’s watch and went to the field to gather a bouquet of dandelions. He climbed back into the yard, as stealthy as a child really cared to be, and crept over to the barn. In the barn, lived a secret. (The man he thought his father said the secret was a monster, a plague. His mother said the secret was his sister.)
OR
Jaskier comes from a far humbler background, and would really like to know why Yennefer never came back for her youngest brother.
