Bookshelf for Sleepless Nights
Stories that kept me up an entire Friday and/or Saturday night reading. Some of them kept me up on Sunday night too, even though I had work the next day.
Totally worth it, though.

Summary
Finding himself stuck in a universe entirely unlike his own seemed like the perfect opportunity to move on for Peter.
Having spent the last 5 years barely living and now jaded with the vigilante world, hanging up the spidersuit indefinitely to focus on being a normal 20 something y/o instead of unpacking his trauma (and the effects the aftermath of NWH had on him) is a corner he’s more than willing to cut.
But undoing years of emotional isolation isn’t exactly easy and it seems the harder he pushes to tuck his past away the quicker it all seems to catch up to him.
Join Peter as he struggles with the everyday problems of an ex-superhero turned interdimensional transfer student with emotionally avoidant tendencies. And did I mention broke? Because it's college. Who isn’t!
Featuring: bad decisions, an overly invested TA, a grumpy neighbour and his equally grumpy (albeit scarier) younger brother (sorry ‘parasitical, situation-based responsibility’ ...whatever that means), a boss w/questionable morals We Are Ignoring bc Paid Internship!!, crime fighting & poorly disguised brunch Interventions he really should stop falling for. Because he’s fine. Fine!

Summary
"What's your name?" Kakashi asks again, quieter this time. He lets his question hang, lets her look at him with his mask pulled down and his face void of any sort of facade. She's five, for goodness' sake, Kakashi thinks. She deserves honesty at the very least.
"Katana," the child says after an eternity of silence. "My name is Katana."
In which there is a child, with grey eyes and her mother's smile and like most stories, sometimes a child is all it takes.

Summary
Strange’s second spell does not have anything to do with memory. Maybe Peter should have expected it, as the previous one acted in the same way.
Instead of erasing the memories of the ones he loves across the world, the incantation plucked him from his universe, erasing all traces of his existence, and threw him into a new one.
Now seventeen, having lost his family and friends, he finds himself in a strange world, alone in one of the most dangerous cities across all dimensions.Or : Peter needs money to survive Gotham and picks up a pizza delivery job.

Summary
They say when you assume you make an ass of you and me.
Matt wishes that the Avenger's assumptions about his seeming inability to read the written word did something as benign as making an ass of him and them. Being called illiterate shouldn't hurt, not when he knows he's not, and it's not like he can tell them the truth.
Not that the truth would make much difference. He's just going to have to grin and bear it.
If he can.

Summary
Percy had, briefly, entertained a fantasy of a triumphant return to Gotham. He’d get a blessing for the Waynes and finally prove he wasn’t fucking crazy, and come home to Jason and get to know Dick and get a chance to try again and, and, and—
And Jason Todd is dead.
Years later, adrift after Tartarus, Percy finds himself pushed back to the city he once called home. All he has to do is keep his head down. This is obviously a flawless plan.
[Tim Drake is running on three cups of coffee, two hours of sleep, and a rapidly-waning belief in the value of a diploma when the most suspicious transfer student in the world walks in. Tim nearly chokes on his own tongue when he notices the white streak in his hair.]

Summary
Percy is stuck in Gotham for a few weeks with nothing to do.
Meanwhile, the Bats have many, many questions.
Percy constantly says the most out of pocket things. He's a trained fighter. He has no criminal ties, unless you count an accusation of terrorism at age twelve (?!?). He is lowkey terrifying but also has the mellow vibes of a surfer dude. Is he a threat? Oh, for sure. Is he a friend? Somehow, also yes. Is he going to get adopted by Bruce when he discovers this dark-haried light-eyed former child soldier? Not if Percy can help it.
