Summary
"The runes are wrong."
"What does that mean for us?" Tim hisses over the beginnings of a dozen voices rising in chant.
"Nothing good." Jason states grimly, frantically racking his brain for any way out. Whatever entity is about to come out of this circle is going to be baring a fate worse than death.
Jason would know. He’s been dead.
…Actually speaking of being dead. Jason does know someone from the Ghost Zone with enough sheer audacity to help him fight what very well could be an actual demon.
With a mental ‘fuck it’, Jason begins to chant.
AKA: Jason and Danny became friends in the Ghost Zone. This is about to be everyone’s problem. Batman just wants to know who this illusive teenager is. Because he’s a meta. Obviously. Not for adoption reasons. No siree, not him.

Summary
Peter shows up to Stark Tower on day one of his official Stark Internship with a dead phone and no idea where Tony's lab is. He is, however, determined to find it.
Cue a convoluted cat-and-mouse game while Tony goes to track the kid down, and Peter does his level best to get high enough in the building to reach what he thinks are the 'important floors'.

Summary
The door comes crashing down, sending dust into a cloud that blankets the warehouse in a low haze of grey.
“Where’s Danny?” An authoritative voice growls menacingly from the shadows.
He can see the exact moment that the vigilantes clock the pile of goons behind him, and Danny’s current position of using the unconscious body of Batman’s arch-nemesis as a makeshift table for his notebook.
Okay, play it cool, Fenton.
AKA: Danny is convinced the Waynes are a mob family and he's been kidnapped to start a turf war. Based off a Tumblr Prompt.

Summary
“FUCK YEAH!” Jason pumps his fist in the air with a whoop. “Ha! Take that, Demon Brat! I’m the Robin with the highest kill count!”
Tim spits out his coffee and coughs violently. It’s partially because he got some in his lungs, but also to cover the incredulous laughter bursting uncontrollably out of him. It takes him a good few seconds to get his breathing under control, but when he looks up, his brothers are staring at him.
For a moment he’s tempted. So fucking tempted. Because he hasn’t told anyone anything more than bits and pieces about his time with the League.
AKA: Tim has a kill count. A high one. But he's sure as fuck not going to be the one who tells his family that.

Summary
Hitoshi's been on his own for years, and the suddenness of having parents who actually care about him is a little much to get used to, but he's managing.
It helps that said parents are pro heroes and some of the best people Hitoshi has ever met.

Bookmarker's Notes
The Eridian thrills a high sound that doesn’t get picked up by the translator which means that it has no clear meaning. Like when a human gasps or sucks in a deep breath. It actually sounds a little like that. When they notice that I’m staring straight at them they scramble back into their hiding spot and hold very still.
A child, I realize with a start.
That’s a child!
“Hey,” I call and the kid squeaks again. I was about to get to my feet but abort the movement and crawl closer on my hands and knees until I'm inches away from the xenonite wall. I wait and it takes me much too long to realize that they don’t have to peek around the corner to see if I’m still there.
“Hey there,” I try again, my voice low and calm. It’s my teacher voice, the one I use for shy and scared students.
Used.
The fact that I haven’t had to use it for years and it still comes to me automatically almost knocks the air out of my lungs but this is not about me, it’s about making sure the little pebble doesn’t die of fright from the scary alien. “Hi, I’m Grace. It’s alright, you don’t have to be scared.”

Ave Maria by nopaintjustpain
Fandom Project Hail Mary (2026), Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir
30 May 2026
Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.
There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.
Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?
