Summary
You were quiet for a long moment. “i’m supposed to be dead,” you told the skeleton.
“… you’re not,” he replied, after pausing for only a second. “there’s no supposed-to with you. you were in the anti-void, not an au. you nearly died, but i fixed you.” His voice was quieter than before, and his head was slightly tilted, like a curious dog. “i don’t normally bother to do that.”
“then why did you?” The words hurt in your mouth instead of your throat. It felt like carbonation below your tongue, and it took concentration to keep that static from leaking into your words. You weren’t used to talking. But this was important.
“why’d i fix you?” The skeleton paused, expression going blank for half a second, gaze flitting down to his scarf. “oh!”
The corners of his mouth tugged up again. “because i want a little brother of my own, of course!”

You used to be human, before what you called the Blank. You were a teenager, and you liked dogs and the sun and couldn’t remember much more than that. Then you were made into something else.
After your rescue, you try to adjust to living again - and attempt to understand why so many weird skeletons keep trying to adopt you.

Or
Jason Todd is immortal. He's not the only one.

Summary
Izuku's quirk wasn't the flashiest... and it kind of screwed him over, more often than not. But even so... he would use Gambler's Fallacy to become the world's greatest hero!

Summary
Red Hood died when the Dimensional Transporter exploded, snarling in the face of the Regime. Several dimensions away Izuku Midoriya woke up with skills he didn’t remember learning, memories that definitely weren’t his, and half an answer to the question that had plagued him all his life: can someone without a Quirk be a hero?

Summary
Disoriented and emotionally frayed from decades spent in the void, W.D Gaster suddenly finds himself at the mercy of a cold and arrogant alternate self. His doppelganger promises to return him to the void once his research is complete but before he can make good on his threat, Gaster is introduced to this world’s variant of his son and he is forced to make a quick, spur of the moment decision.
This sole act sends unforeseen ripples throughout the Multiverse and hurdles Gaster on a perilous journey across it to find his way home.

Dadster plays hopscotch across the multiverse, unintentionally and intentionally acquires children, tentatively reciprocates Grillby's feelings, engages in actual literal custody battles with copies of himself, somehow steals a Bad Sans™, narrowly avoids death at the hands of Error and somehow flies under Ink’s radar for a shocking amount of time.
