Summary
“What if it had been Oliwia, buttercup?” Lambert asks.
Jaskier goes still. Little Oliwia, barely sixteen and still as naive as any noble child gets - if she had been sent as a sacrifice, that would have been - “Monstrous,” he says, through a dry throat. “That would be monstrous, and a grave insult to the Wolf, that anyone would think he would do harm to such an innocent - that he would be that sort of monster.”
—inexplicifics, Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well, Ch. 2
…What if it had been Oliwia?

“How do you know my name?” Hermione demanded.
Harry manfully resisted the urge to roll his eyes. “The wrackspurts told me,” he said instead, which satisfied his innate need for sarcasm quite nicely.
Harry takes the train out of that white void, expecting to meet Death, and instead ends up on the Hogwarts Express at the beginning of his second year. Also he’s Luna Lovegood now.

Summary
She found herself once again staring down the Parker kid in her office. It was a familiar scene. He was curled into the sagging armchair she’d scooped off the curb, feet scuffing against his duffel bag on the floor, arms hunched over the backpack in his lap. Over the past two months and six moves, the boy had quietly trimmed down all of his possessions to fit in those two bags.
“What,” said Rhee, “the fuck.”
Peter shrugged, defensive.
If someone had told her three months ago that this doe-eyed white boy with his cheerful geekery and his pathological adherence to respectful forms of address would be one of her most troublesome cases, she would have laughed them out of the room. Now, she wasn’t laughing.

Summary
“Since when do cadets have parents?” Fox asked, switching over into Mando’a since apparently this little shit was too good for Basic.
The cadet glared up at him, panting after his latest efforts to break free. “Since I was born, asshole,” he said.
This was not helpful. “Since when were cadets born?”
The cadet looked at him like Fox was the crazy one. “I’m not a cadet.”
“What are you, then?”
“…A kid?”
Obligatory ‘Fox gets sent back in time AU.’

Summary
Fire. Air. Water. Earth.
The sages used to tell stories of the old days: a time of terror when the tyrant Avatar suppressed all people and divided the land between the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribes, and Earth Kingdom. But everything changed when Sozin’s comet allowed the Fire Nation to fight back. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, stood in the way of a prosperous and united world. But just when we almost managed to defeat him, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed, but the world cannot truly be united until the Avatar is found. Three years ago, my father entrusted me with a sacred task: to find and capture the Avatar, and thereby redeem a great shame and failure of the Fire Nation. And although many believe this is an impossible task, I still have hope. I still believe that, somehow, I will find the Avatar and restore honor to the Fire Nation and to myself.
***
AU where the Avatar Spirit left Aang in the iceberg and was eventually reborn in everybody’s favorite grumpy fire prince.

Summary
Peter Parker: trans, tired, and shit on over and over again by the universe. Also Spider-Man, a hardcore hero, and just 100% the best boy.
There was a reason that Peter Parker decided to become Spider-Man, to become a vigilante, to look out for the little guy. The systems we currently have obviously aren't doing the job well enough. People are getting hurt. This story explores in depth the many, many flaws of the United States justice and social safety systems, and how Peter Parker and Spider-Man deal with them. This includes everything from foster care to food banks to access to medical treatment to courts to policing to prison and parole.
An exploration of grief, loss, and trauma. Expect bureaucracy, lots of OCs just trying their best, and righteous fucking anger. Plus lots of radical caring and empathy. Eventual hopeful ending.
Series title taken from 'Poverty of Philosophy' by Immortal Technique.

Summary
Tony Stark saves the world. He dies minutes later. Peter comes back from the battle to a world that’s changed three times over: first with the Snap and his death, the next with the Reverse Snap that ends the Blip, and one more change, courtesy of an accidental thought during the Reverse Snap: the unification of two separate universes into one. This last results in a physically larger planet, and several new cities, fully formed and inhabited, popping into existence around the world. Gotham City. Metropolis, Keystone City. A few others.
Peter takes this news the only way he can: he accepts it and moves on. So he does. Peter is still reeling from the war against Thanos, but he keeps pushing forward. The realities of this new world find him later, when he visits Metropolis with J. Jonah Jameson for a conference.

Summary
“You think I’m gonna go into school tomorrow and tell everybody Red Robin passed out in my lap and my foster dad is an assassin?”
Tim opened one eye. “You could leave that first part out.”
Duke glared at him. “Nobody asked you.”
Tim gave him a thumbs up and closed his eye again.
“I’m not an assassin,” Jason reminded him, sounding tired.
OR:
With Batman gone, Gotham is falling apart. But Jason has bigger problems. Like this kid who just got dumped on his doorstep due to a case of mistaken identity. What was his name again? Oh yeah. Duke Thomas.
(Shut up Tim! Jason did not have Bruce's adoption disease!)

Summary
“Oh,” Robin murmured. “A baby.”
Tim bared his teeth more aggressively, posturing as well as any starving ten-year-old vampire fledgling could.
