Summary
/tranˈzistər/
A tiny mechanism capable of controlling something far larger than itself.
Peter Parker died at eighteen with regret and a wish he didn't think would matter; with the Time Stone against his chest and a wish that felt more like a prayer…The time stone, as it turns out, has never been great at doing things by half measures.
or
When Peter Parker is a child who used to be Spider-Man, joined by teenage super soldier with nowhere to go, fifteen and already tired of this. Loki is eighteen very much done. In Gotham. As teenagers with no resources, no backup, and no one who would believe them even if they explained. All Peter wanted was a second chance.
He got Gotham instead.

Summary
John Marston thought he knew everything, but when he starts seeing an older Jack in his dreams, he realizes that maybe he knows nothing.
Even before he had a run-in with the wolves in Colter, John Marston grew up knowing death was always near. So what happens when after his fight with the wolves in the mountains, he starts seeing things—an older Jack and a familiar strange man—who keep telling him cryptic things about the fate of the gang? Telling him that if things don’t change… then maybe he isn’t the only one who is doomed.

cw: description of self-inflicted injury in summary
“Hey there, listener. What’s the matter? Are you hurt?”
His only response was another whimper, even quieter this time. The person’s breathing sounded labored.
Now truly concerned, Hizashi pulled out his phone and prepared to turn on the flashlight. Not wanting to startle whoever was curled up in the shadows, he announced his movements. “I’m pulling out a flashlight so I can get a look at you, okay? I need to see if you’re okay.”
When he aimed the light at the alcove, he paled and he swore his heart stopped for a moment.
Curled up behind a dumpster in this dirty alley was a child, pale as a ghost and bleeding from two long, angry cuts on their wrists.

Summary
In a world obsessed with killing and dying, Seiko is mostly concerned with chasing off her boredom. The Academy wasn’t exactly intellectually stimulating, but dying in the second shinobi war sounded like a long walk off a short pier. Everyone is always so stressed about avoiding attention, or min-maxing skills in situations like this.
Seiko is of the opinion that those people need to chill the hell out. Maybe play a little shogi. Death comes for them all anyways. Better to enjoy this all while it lasts.
(genius self insert stumbles into disrupting a timeline with the intentionality of an elephant trampling a very fancy tea shop.)

Summary
The Ghoul sounds confident when he intuits her train of thought.
“I wouldn’t mind seeing that sky again for the first time.” He tilts his head up, follows Lucy’s gaze, points his revolver at the stars with his finger on the trigger. That’s bad trigger discipline, she thinks. “It never loses its charm, just gets harder to appreciate. You’ll see.”
The surface is an ugly and intimidating place, but Lucy is resolved to keep faith in the good, the human, the transcendent. Up here, people worth caring about are worth protecting. Even if it means going through hell.
