Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

Summary
Danyal al Ghul's core yearned to reach out of his grave and add Damian's small proto-core into its Fraid.
But it had been 7 long years since they'd last seen each other. A whole lifetime.
Damian had already mourned him. It would be kinder to keep him in the dark, rather than drag him into the mess that was Danny's half-life.
So Danny would hide in Gotham until things cooled down back home with the GIW. Easy-peasy.
It wasn't like there was anyone out there looking for him, or anything!

Summary
He writes the book as a coping mechanism. The Adventures of Star-Lord isn't a best seller, but it does help Gregg Quill get over the loss of his daughter, his grandson: helps him pick back up and keep on living.
He doesn't expect, almost thirty years later, to find that his little Star-Lord has grown into the galaxy's Star-Lord.
He doesn't expect to have the story come to life before him, in the flesh: with a few crucial revisions.
He certainly doesn't expect Peter to come back home.

Summary
“Because I know you’re not nearly as lacking in the introspection department as you let on, I’m not gonna bore you with running down what friendship means to you. You know that shit well enough."
Bucky’s eyes flick up, and meet Stark’s, now—steel for steel—because this is the heart of it. This is where Bucky won’t stand to see Steve made out to be a villain, made out to do some wrong he ain’t guilty of: no.
Fuck no.
“But I will tell you what being your friend isn’t.”
_________
Or: in which I, too, had feelings about the Civil War trailer. They weren't the feelings I was expecting, and they weren't ones I've yet seen addressed in fic, so. I cleaned up the quick-and-dirty reaction fic I wrote on the road after the trailer was released and here it is. Yep.

In which Steve and Bucky flirt (and more, rather unrepentantly) during battle.

Summary
It’s with a painful twist of Steve's heart that those eyes haunt him into the timestream, and stay with him through every stop along the way. Bucky's eyes are the last thing he sees before it's all swirling, spiralling chaos, and he can’t unsee them, their heartbreak and despair and—
When Steve gets back, though, they’ll have time. Steve will have time to fix it, whatever it is that put those things into Bucky's soul; they’ll have time.
He'll only be gone five seconds.

Summary
Steve will say they had work to do, and a universe to put to rights. They had people to find and hearts to unbreak. They had a mission. There was no time for any of them to mourn.
Steve, as it turns out, says a lot of things that are mostly bullshit.
SPOILERS for Avengers: Infinity War. Save this for AFTER you've seen the movie, yes? That is literally its purpose: for you to read after the movie.

Summary
Steve doesn’t like bullies, on principle. It's less about justice, or decency, or righteous indignation; more about the look in the eyes of the people getting stepped on, the people getting trampled, the people getting lost.
So it cuts all the deeper, when Steve recognizes strength, precision, endurance, capacity: sees the pieces of himself not born but made, reflected in this body, this person, this weapon: the Winter Soldier.
It slices through Steve’s soul when he returns the Soldier's gaze, and reads the only thing that lives in the deadness that pervades behind those irises in the night.
It’s not You can’t beat me.
It’s more You can’t stop them.
For the prompt: The AU where Steve Rogers sees the best in everyone, and it is that quality that brings him back the person he loves most in the world; where Steve reaches out to help the Winter Soldier on principle, but when the muzzle-mask comes off, he finds Bucky Barnes.

Summary
Amity Park didn’t like ghosts. They really didn’t like Starfarer, who pretended to be better than any of the other ghosts by fighting against them instead of the humans. But they knew;
Starfarer would always be nothing more than a dirty ghost.
On an unrelated note, Daniel Fenton has become even more of an outcast than he had two years ago through self-isolation.
Good thing a spontaneous ghost attack in Metropolis finally got the Justice League’s attention on Amity Park.
(Now if only anyone would actually answer their questions!)

Summary
When Danny finds a mostly-living boy on the Ghost Zone side of a rank as hell (but apparently natural??) portal, well, it’s free friend! Jason has no idea what's going on, how he's alive, or why he is... wherever he is, but he's gotten three whole friends out of it, and Danny clearly needs some help. Maybe solving Jason's problems can help solve Danny's, too?

Summary
It should be hilarious when Dick gets de-aged: another brown-haired baby to throw into the playpen, this one no doubt climbing everything in sight and cheerfully babbling nonstop. Only Jason isn’t staring at a cheerful toddler. He’s looking down at a tiny, badly bruised child, shaking in his little Nightwing suit, staring up at Jason with poorly concealed terror.
(The de-aging, and the aftermath, and Dick and Jason Going Through It.)

Summary
"I enjoy the classics. Especially moody or creepy ones. Eyre, Poe, sometimes Dickens."
Jazz nodded approvingly. "I lean towards nonfiction, mostly, but I enjoy a good ghost story."
A smile teased the corner of Jason's mouth. "Poor little Casper doesn't scare you?"
"Psh, please, growing up my house was basically haunted," Jazz dismissed. "Though you might think I'm crazy if you don't give any stock to the existence of ghosts. Do you believe in life after death?"
Jason was visibly suppressing a smirk. "You'd be surprised."
-------
"Why do you have a gun?!"
"It's fuckin' Gotham. And I saw that silver piece peeking out of your purse," Jason indignantly replied. "Don't act like you're not packin'."
"That's different. It's a peeler; it's not for humans."
The local whirled around to gawk at her. "The fuck is it for, then?!"
-------
Jason and Jazz surprise each other when their date takes a turn for the dangerous. But, hey, rogues need therapy too, right?
A bit of gratuitously bad flirting that somehow still works, with a dash of badassery on the side.
