    Summary

    Hades sends Nico to investigate a man who's escaped death for centuries. Unfortunately for the god, the mission shows Nico something his father would never approve of: resurrection.

    He can get Jason back again — if he can manage to avoid the League of Assassins, the wrath of the gods, AND the Justice League all at once, that is.

    —————————

    "You kept my brother and sister from me?!" Wonder Woman, princess of Themyscira, glared at her father. "Due to your negligence, one of them is now DEAD!"

    "Diana-"

    "NO! You forced children to fight YOUR wars!" She snarled. "You are all selfish cowards. They became war veterans before they even graduated high school!!"

    Diana had admired her father, once upon a time, but now all she could feel was disgust. She left without looking back, ignoring Zeus' attempts to justify himself. She has better things to do than entertain her father's foolishness — namely, an entire society's worth of demigods to help.

    Summary

    Going to Gotham was a bad idea. Like, underline, bold, italicize sort of idea that would make the normal person, or at least sane one, absolutely avoid.

    Danny Fenton was not a normal person and his parents weren't the most sane pair of people. So, what better was it to do to spend the few days of your fall break with your seventeen year old sister that can legally drive you there? In the most crime ridden place in America? As two minors? Without parental supervision? 

    OR

    Danny and Jazz drive across a few states to a Wayne Enterprises science convention. It's a terrible idea, everyone but Jack and Maddie agree. If only the electric-based 'concept design' for 'unexplainable energy' didn't shoot them the moment they walked through the door.

    Summary

    Peter Parker has just landed in a pretty weird city known as Gotham. Good news is, if all goes according to plan he should be able to get the heck outta dodge in the next two, three weeks max. And he's sure everything will go according to plan.

    Bruce Wayne has noticed a suspicious new rogue in Gotham. Good news is, if all goes according to plan he should be able to get the perpetrator squared away well before they finished building whatever evil thing they were building. It'd take two, three days max.

    Cass, on the other hand, is pretty sure everything is going to go to shit in two, three hours max.

    Summary

    Vlad has just declared all-out war to take the crown from Danny. None of Phantom's Inner Court trust that the older halfa won't resort to underhanded tactics, but all they can do is gather allies and prepare for the fight.

    Meanwhile, Lady Gotham has run out of options: she either finds help or risks the Core of her Red Knight destabilizing for good. Her pride keeps her from asking for help, but, conveniently, the new Crown Prince is a bleeding heart. She won't have to ask for help if it just happens that Jason and the prince meet.

    Summary

    Gotham was literally cursed but no one believed Bruce. He took it upon himself to fix it and that solution came to him in the form of a little blue vial. Bruce was to take the curse within himself to temper it into something manageable. He didn't know for certain what the vial would do to him but that was inconsequential.

    He brought the vial to his lips.

    If anyone knew what he was doing, they would call him stupid and stop him but fortunately for Bruce, his family hasn't spoken to him for forever. There was no one here to stop him.

    He downed the liquid and woke up as his nine-year-old self.


    The hundred days dragged on like a hundred years. He was not even a third of the way complete and Bruce was already fraying at the seams. Why was this solitude so unbearable when he should be used to it? The world seemed so big and empty now that he was nine again and Bruce couldn't bear it

    Summary

    Harry, in a true wild Potter luck fashion, ends up in another universe. One without magic, but with aliens and metahumans, so it's not all that different.

    What is different is his black-turned-red hair with white streaks and toxic green eyes and more names than he knows what to do with scrawled on his arm. Along with so much anger that it feels like that's what he's made of, his magic is out of control, and did he mention he has parents now?

    Summary

    PLAYABLE AGAIN :D
    Written by hppjmxrgosg. Authors summary:
    Danny Fenton is not okay. TM.
    Honestly? Just overall bad vibes.
    But he's doing his best. Making it work. And trying not to become fully dead in the process.

    The Justice League is very concerned. But it's actually their fault they got involved so take that one, Batman.
    John Constantine told them not to do the thing. They did it anyway.

    Or, Danny gets summoned by the League, and he actually kind of adopts them in the process. Because these big city heroes don't know anything about ghosts and who is he if he doesn't help them out? Besides, the Watchtower is in space. Danny's always wanted to go to space...

    (I'm not really following any specific JL timeline, so like. Be prepared for 98% of everything to be *made up* and possibly *not real*.)

    Summary

    “Hello! How would you like to play a game?”

    A voice coated in static broke the still silence of the Watchtower, bringing Barry to a very sudden stop in the middle of a long hallway. The drop from top speed sent buffets of wind racing down the hall, brushing against promethium walls with a sharp, haunting whistle that only made the voice coming out of every speaker in the Tower more ominous.

    The voice was distinctly male sounding, though they spoke with a thick accent that had them pitching the words up and down the octave scale rapidly and unusually.

    “It will not take too much of your time. You see, we are running a sort of experiment, and Gotham has been selected to run one of our samples!”

    “You will not be able to contact those outside of your city, and they will be unable to contact you! Fear not, it will only last for as long as the experiment does.”

    ~~~~~

    or, Gotham gets thrown into a lethal game of tag no one signed up for

    or or, the Bats have been dealing with problem after problem this week, and no one has the energy left for this shit

     

    or or or, I took the fake relationship prompt and went "amongus :)"

    Summary

    There was always something different about Gotham, anyone could tell you that wether they were from the city or they weren’t.

    But the ones from Gotham always knew better, they knew about the blank white eyes peering out from shadows, the mocking child’s laughter that echoed around alleyways that almost sounded like birdsong.

    The ones from Gotham knew about the brood that had settled into the crevices of the city.

    Summary

    The chest was packed full of leather bound books. Tim reached in and took out the first of them, flipping to a section near the front and catching sight of red fountain pen ink.
    Not this one then. He needed the empty one. The one that Janet told him would show up whether he was ready for it or not.
    Again and again, he set aside the full grimoires, generations of mothers passing their knowledge to their daughters and so forth until there were enough of the finely bound leather tomes to fill the entire chest to bursting.
    Janet’s grimoire was downstairs, on a coffee table in one of the pristine living rooms. He hadn’t found the courage to open it since he’d buried her alone so it had sat where she’d left it, collecting dust. His mother’s familiar, that cursed magpie that always nipped at Tim’s fingers when he tried to pet her was long gone too, back to wherever witch familiars went when they were no longer tethered to their masters.

    Or: Tim Drake inherits a grimoire from his late mother and all the curses that come with it. Oh, and also this little ghost-creature-thing that is bonded to him and the book now unless he can figure out a way to free them both before time runs out.

    Summary

    Marinette Dupain-Cheng - the clumsy baker girl, is more than meets the eye.

    Ladybug, Hero Of Paris
    MDC, Rising Fashion Star
    Class President

    These are just some of the mantles that the young Parisian woman holds. She's defeated Hawkmoth and is on the road to starting a successful fashion career. Not to mention staring in a movie, wearing her own designs! She thinks that being Ladybug is over, but that's not until strange things begin to happen. And it's all because of the enigma that is Gotham City. She thought she was done with emotional terrorist and manipulative villains, but it seems Fate has a different plan for her.

    And it doesn't help that the Justice League and The Bats (resident vigilantes of the city) are being a bit uncooperative...

    Life's a hassle when you're a superhero. Kwami bless her with a little luck to survive!

    Summary

    "A bright flash of light blinded him as he landed on his feet, bending his knees to brace for the impact. The first thing he noticed was the sound of wailing and the wetness beneath his shoes. There were small, child sized shades reaching toward a group dressed in black robes, hoods obscuring their faces. The hooded figures whispered between themselves after he arrived, seeming delighted when they saw him. Their souls ballooning in anticipation and fervent joy.

    Distantly, he could tell the robed figures were asking something of him in excitement, but Polka was focused on the group of shades crowding around him. They latched onto his clothes, crying thick black tears. ‘Help us’, they asked, pawing at him, ‘Save us!’"

    Or, Polka and Corpse God are summoned into the DCU and give more than a few heroes headaches.

    Summary

    Helia used to be Helianthus Potter, Girl Who Lived, Woman Who Conquered, Chosen One, She Of Too Many Dumb Names. Now she's decided to let the cards fall as they will and embrace being Just Helia(na Evans), broke high school dropout, grocery store cashier, supplier of illegal(ly magical) substances to Gotham's (most recent) murderous gang lord.

    A significant upgrade, if you ask her.

    OR,

    The process by which two idiots meet, get to know each other, fall in love, do not fall in love, lie to each other, team up, stop lying, fight crime, fight each other, fight FOR each other, cry, bleed all over the good curtains, confess their true feelings, and drive everyone around them insane. Only sort of in that order.
