the boy that wasn't there (so there's no reason you should care) by GhostlyGuest
Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)
12 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Izuku Midoriya does not exist. Therefore, neither do answers.
A green-haired, green-eyed boy keeps showing up anyway, much to the confusion of everyone.
This is normal. Let the fact that the boy does not exist reaffirm the fact that you exist, and that the other things that don't exist will continue to not exist.
Don't worry if he shows up again. He wasn't there.(Izuku Midoriya is not a story. He is a story's absence. Look for meaning all you would like, but if you manage to fill that hole, know that you will have killed him. If you do, remember not to feel guilt: he was never real in the first place... right?)

Summary
Barron Battle's on the run. Luckily for everyone, he seemed to have simply vanished off the face of the Earth. Maybe he died escaping, or maybe he's going on a fantastical journey through the magical realms of the United States' Lower 48. Either way, he's not around to make trouble.
Warren Peace is enjoying his first summer vacation with friends since his father was arrested, and his friends are determined to make the most of it for him. They have every summer activity possible in Maxville planned for him. If only people would just stop sighting some kind of weird moth-man-like monster and freaking out, that would be great.
Looks like we've got another mystery on out hands, gang.

Summary
A flyer. An audition. A number—42—that feels less like a place in line and more like a lottery ticket out of poverty. For Alastor, walking into Morris Studios is an act of desperate hope. Surrounded by a cacophony of competition, he waits his turn, clinging to the memory of his mother's face. But when the moment comes, the polished performance he's prepared crumbles. In its place, he offers something far more vulnerable: a simple, tender song, sung without pretense. The man behind the glass doesn't just hear a voice. He sees a worth Alastor has never been allowed to imagine. And in a single, life-altering handshake, everything changes.

Summary
Your brother has always been flighty. The type of person who would pick up your call from the depths of a cave in Kentucky on a random Tuesday, only to be halfway across the country by Wednesday on the lookout for the next big Bigfoot sighting. So no one really bat an eye when he disappeared into the woods of New Mexico with a flashlight and a dream of hunting down the ‘Deadwood Wardens’, yet another mythological legend you didn’t believe in that he felt was his 'destiny' to prove.
But then he stopped calling. And it turns out the woods were a lot scarier in person than in the photos.
With the help of a local who knows the woods like the back of his hand, you should be out of here with your stupid brother in no time! Not that you were worried or anything — after all, it wasn’t like those campfire stories of men in wide-brimmed hats coming to steal the souls of unsuspecting trespassers were true. It was only a coincidence that Jimin, your friendly woodsman, wore a hat just like the ones taped on your brother's wall....right?

Summary
Dick Grayson is eight years old when his parents die in a "tragic accident." He is sent to live with his mysterious godfather, in a sprawling mansion in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey outside of Gotham.
He's pretty sure the house is haunted.
___
Some of the inspirations behind this include Edgar Allen Poe, the entire Gothic Horror genre, and The Addams Family. This fic will focus more on the found family aspect of Batman, but there will still be Batman stuff happening (leaning heavily into the supernatural elements tag.) Expect mostly Dick's POV (chapters from another character's POV will have it mentioned before the chapter.) Tags will be updated as needed.Series

Summary
She and the Wayne boy spoke for the first time during a literature lesson the following school year. He approached her desk and, in an even tone devoid of intonation, stated:
“You’re in my seat.”Lane raised her eyes to him impassively and, without blinking, replied:
“Then find another one.”A look of genuine astonishment flitted across his face — so comical that, had she had a bit more strength for bickering, she would certainly have laughed. But instead, Lane merely made peace by pulling her bag off the neighboring chair — as if to say, sit down, if you must. And he sat.
Or.
The story of Lane Winters and Damian Wayne over the course of ten years.
