Family You Made (Go Back, Do it Again) by JUBE514

Summary
He’s nine again– nine and new and knows so many things now so rather than try to go back–
He thinks he has the chance to make things right.
The bright blue trainers he puts on are a pair he hasn’t worn in forever, something he never thought about after he grew out of them (will grow out of?) a year from now, and sets off into the night and into the rain.
The plan he has in his brain is not really a plan, moreso just a couple of half thrown ideas and maybe five steps into building back the life he had in the most painless way he could.
Maybe, he thinks, maybe this plan can start off with the family he misses– because he’s sixty and most of them too injured or too old or too dead–
Call him selfish but he misses them. He would rather find them than get himself back into that lonely existence he called a life before he woke up at nine.
Dick makes do because that’s all he can do really.
-🦇-
Dick gets sent back in time, but don't worry, he's got this. (Probably)

Summary
Mob’s arms shake as he levers himself onto his elbows. His eyelids droop. More viscous, multi-coloured paste drools over his lips. Reigen has the irrational urge to push Mob back down and order him to nap.
“Christ,” Dimple says. Reigen inclines his head in agreement.
Mob sways upright until he’s sitting slumped over his knees. “Master Reigen. I did it again.”

Summary
(Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)
Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”
“Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”
“Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”
“I-I’m what?! W-wait!”
tl;dr
Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

Summary
“I’m not a hero. Or a good person,” Katsuki says, giving Aizawa a pointed look, “So leave me alone. I don’t care about the League or UA, or you—” The two years he’s been away have been fine, more than fine, fucking fantastic actually if you ignore the bi-monthly near-death experiences. He doesn’t need this place. He doesn’t miss this place.
And yet, longing, a childish desire to tear up, or maybe blow something to bits, they all twist in his chest like a band of traitors regardless. “—I just want to go home.”
Or: the one where Katsuki and Izuku fail the first term exam, Aizawa discovers their pasts, and Katsuki is booted from UA. Featuring questionable descriptions of villain organizations, a slightly illegal moving shop, and your favorite emotionally constipated badass in distress with a newly discovered penchant for collecting strays.

Game Over [Would you like to reload from your last checkpoint?] by tyrianzzz

Summary
By some measure or means, all four (official) Robins are sent back in time for a chance to reclaim their future–-a chance that things might turn out better.
After losing Bruce in their future, a chance seems good enough.
-
I focus heavily on the original 4 Robins and their relationships to each other and to Bruce, but I try to give a spotlight to all the batfamily relationships and members at one point. This is my DC magnum opus, the time travel fix-it fic to end all suffering. Time swap? no. Time displacement? Double no. They stay, ur honor, and they give a big ol' middle finger to the timeline while they're at it.

Summary
He floats there for a bit trapped in his own mind with his knees drawn close to his chest. His eyes feel heavy like he needs to sleep but that same buzz in his chest tells him he doesn’t need to. He rests his cheek on his knee and notices skin touches skin. His skin is cold. And greyer than he thinks he remembers.
It’s quiet here.
