My Hero Academia

Catzawa

by TheDeadGirlRisen

Shota Aizawa just expelled an entire class of students that had no potential, and was on his way home for a well earned break when he gets bumped into on the street and ends up as a cat. It takes a few days, but eventually he finds himself in the home of Izuku Midoriya, who just wants to help the cat that looked half starved. He did not sign up for a weirdly intelligent cat that has a quirk that can erase other quirks.Shota determines that the kid has potential, and he's not going to let it go to waste. Even if All Might was also trying to make the boy into his successor.

white christmas

“Todd.” Damian interrupted, “I don’t think we’re on a different earth.” “I told you- I know that guy. He would recognize-” “Shut up!” Damian said, “Turn around.” Jason turned, the back wall was covered in newspapers, just like it always had been, he looked back at Damian confused, the kid rolled his eyes, “Look at the date.” Jason’s heart drops, but he looks anyway. December 24th, 2016 Fuck. Damian and Jason get sent back five years on Christmas Eve... and Dick's not in a position to help anyone.

“Chess. Tt.” Damian pulled up the seat and plopped himself down with a huff. “Do we really still need a board game to talk?” “Hey, neutral ground is neutral ground. Gotta make sure you don’t yell at me.” “I won’t yell at you.” “Just because I died, doesn’t mean I got amnesia. I distinctly remember you screaming at me to fight you almost every time we met.” “I was challenging you to a duel.” “Ambushing me with a sword isn’t very sportsmanlike if you ask me.” -- Or: Danny and Damian have a conversation. The chessboard has traditionally been neutral ground.

to colour in the darker side of all my brightest hopes

by CosmoKid

“Timothy, your parents aren’t answering and there’s no one listed as an emergency contact,” Mr. Lasker says and shatters all of his well-crafted plans with fourteen words, “Is there anyone else we can call?” There’s no one else. He doesn’t know of any of his family outside of his parents let alone their numbers. There are no other adults. Tim’s never had the chance to rely on anyone, but himself let alone the need. Swallowing around the rising lump in his throat, he tries to rationalize it. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices, you have to alter your plan and put yourself through stuff you don’t like. It’s okay, really, even if the sacrifice is your own shallow grasp on your mental health. He responds, “My neighbor, Bruce Wayne.”

zugzwang

by sardonic_sprite

zugzwang: in chess, the obligation to move, when any move at all will be bad "A game of chess, Detective. I assume you know how to play. You win, and you and your family may leave freely. I win, and you take your place as my heir and I dispose of the others as I see fit."Tim stopped breathing.Ra's spread his hands, still smiling that condescending crocodile grin. "Our skills are evenly matched. The challenge is more than fair."  All a game, just win. All a game, just win. Just win, just win, win, win...  Keep your head.
