Summary
On the cover of the music magazine was a picture of his potions professor, and at the same time it wasn't. Zev Prince wore tight, low-slung leather trousers, a cocky grin, and not much else. I can see his nipples, Harry realised, and because of that thought, the next horrible idea automatically sprang to mind: why does he have a ring through one of them? Doesn't it hurt?
He read the text beside the picture to tear his gaze away from the sight. “What is rehab?”
Snape huffed. “Something that was a complete waste of time on him.”
*
A little mishap at Number 12 Grimmauld Place transports Harry and his most hated professor to a reality where Harry's parents are alive and Harry himself lives as a Muggle boy.
Too bad it also happens to be the reality where failed rock star Zev and his on-again, off-again girlfriend Lily have slipped back into their carousing lifestyle, while their neglected son Harry is building an impressive record as a budding hooligan and bully.
Fortunately, their counterparts are mysteriously absent. There is nothing more complicated to do than pretend to be Harry the Berk, call Snape Dad, and wait for a rescue from their own world.
Yeah. Right.

Summary
Flash halted as a shadowy tendril leaped from Batman’s cape and slithered toward the side table. The tendril snatched a pie knife while its identical twin took a plate from the near pile. They cut a hefty piece, which they delivered to Batman’s waiting hand. Batman took a long and audible sniff off the treat before the slice and the plate vanished into his shadows.
“As Flash stated, it is tasty”, Batman said emphatically in the sudden silence of the meeting room. “The plate was not bad either. IKEA?”
- Batboy-centric glimpses of the life of the most lovable monster family in Gotham.

Summary
When Clark Kent, an investigative journalist from Daily Planet, bumps into Bruce Wayne while the man is changing his tuxedo for something more kick-ass comfortable, he is sure his mysterious teammate is not happy about Superman learning his secret identity.
As it happens, Clark is both right and wrong. It is not enough to know one secret when inside the man lives six different people. Somehow one of them gets Clark to fake-date another one for the sake of an important business deal… or was it to cover the family against the nosy child protection officers… or to get rid of Brucie’s catty dominatrix? Or just to have a hell of a lot of fun at Hal and Barry’s expense?
This looks like a job for Superman… to run for the hills after he realizes their arrangement is turning even more precarious when his lingering feelings are returned, and not by playboy Brucie or business savvy Wayne, but Superman’s scary and complicated teammate, Batman.
It’s a damn mess of temperaments, interests, and sexual orientations with a network of enemies and allies who all have their agendas with the Wayne family in mind.
And Clark still has three other identities to meet.

Three Different Grips For Sexy Legs by petting_a_bumblebee

Summary
Peter Stark has seen better days. Not only would his father Tony hit the roof if he knew his son is Spider-Man, but Peter dating Deadpool would certainly be too much for his poor old heart. But Tony himself is having an affair too and with nobody else than his best friend and team leader Steve Rogers.
Unfortunately Steve has already lots on his plate. Suspected falsely of unspeakable crimes he is forced to go through a psychic interrogation, which leaves the fair captain out of commission for days. While Peter plays muffin baking amour for those two hapless idiots, the SHIELD is setting up a trap to catch the real perpetrator and the Avengers are needed as a witness protection.
For some reason this doesn’t sit right with a local vigilante, Daredevil, who is keeping our heroes busy by trying to find a way to beat a snot out of their charge. Not that Peter has much against that particular idea. The guy they are supposed to protect happens to be his old sparring partner, Herman Schultz aka Shocker. The only costumed criminal on the block who knows Spidey’s secret identity.
(There will be a superhero wedding too. With a traditional big fight.)
Multiple POVs.

Summary
Din is no stranger to pain. He’s been shot, he’s been stabbed, he’s been beaten unconscious. He’s fallen from too high and broken too many bones and more than once nearly died for no good reason.
But this… Watching the Jedi take Grogu away...
It’s like his heart has been yanked through his beskar, all his internal organs carved up and carted off, only a hollow empty ache left in that warm place where the kid had lived.
And yet this is the Way...
---
This is a story of bounties and battles, of unexpected meetings with old friends, and of the making of new allies, as Din travels the Outer Rim Systems after giving up The Child. It's a story of (unintentional) self-discovery and (accidental) fame, Din stumbling sideways into realization and revelation, as he learns what it means- for him- to walk the Way of the Mandalore.
Contains joyful reunions, action, feels, and found family, with a happy ending all around.
Set immediately Post-Mandalorian Season 2 finale. Does not reflect Book of Boba Fett events.

Summary
Din Djarin had been desperate for work, but he told himself he'd just have to get through Ran's job and then he'd have enough credits to keep his ship running and his kid safe for a few weeks longer. But when the New Republic arrives earlier than expected, Din finds himself arrested and imprisoned, and his child taken from him and sent away to a new guardian.
Luke Skywalker has experience being an uncle to his niece and nephew, but not being a caretaker or teacher to the Force-sensitive infant suddenly sent to him so that it can be protected from the nefarious bounty hunter who'd had it. Caring for the powerful toddler is a challenge unlike any he's faced before, but he's determined to rise to the occasion. Especially since the Mandalorian will do anything to get his kid back...
The Mandalorian AU based on Episode 6: The Prisoner.

Summary
“You’ve visited that kid every day for weeks,” Clark said. “Why?”
Batman stared at him. “How long have you known?”
“Batman…”
“You’re confronting me now because you’re worried about my intentions toward Dick. He changed your mind about something. Ergo, you’ve been sitting on this for a while. How long have you known I wasn’t real?”
