Bats, deaths and urban myths (and what everyone else thinks about them)

by ryybonko

No one believed that Batman was real until he showed up in one of the League meetings. Justice League meetings, not Assassins' League. Well... Maybe, he was there too and ninjas were too unaware to notice him. With the Bat, no one could really know. He wasn't human after all, was he?

over the village wall

by unizko

All children know not to go over or even near the village wall because of the monsters that lurk on the other side. Tommy is well aware of this fact as well, but you really can’t blame him for talking to them so often when the monsters are the ones coming to him.(title inspired by over the garden wall)

Danny Phantom

A Fenton Wrapped In A Mystery (Inside an Enigma)

by ZombieMerlin

"Shh!"In Lancer's peripheral vision, he sees Justine glancing around before her gaze rests on Lancer himself.  He'd been staring at the legal pad in front of him unseeingly as he'd listened. He quickly writes out some gibberish on the pad, realizing his pen had stilled. Their voices drop down to whispers after that. Hmm. Daniel makes videos of some sort? They're available for his classmates to see, and he talks to ghosts in them. Lancer never would have imagined the latter, considering how the boy is always one of the first to leave the scene of a ghost attack. Oh, well. At the very least, Lancer is glad his student has a hobby. ---In which the entire student body of Casper High knows Danny's secret and has collectively agreed to keep it for him, and Lancer is baffled at Danny's sudden rise in popularity. Lancer slowly comes to realize there's a lot he doesn't know about Daniel Fenton... and then, eventually, it all makes sense. Sort of. Featuring Confused!Mr.Lancer and NotADick!Mr.Lancer in 25-ish short chapters. Inadvertently goes through a bit of a tone shift, but ends on a happy note.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians & Related Fandoms - All Media Types

Like the Salt and the

by Violettavonviolet

Poseidon was often called the father of monsters and even when he loathed to admit it, the name was apt. So when Perseus was born, Poseidon was prepared for the worst, another head, three times too many fingers, whatever it was, he would love it and try to protect it.Imagine his surprise when somehow, Percy came out with ten fingers and ten toes, perfectly normal looking and with a powerful lung. Of course, he’d had demigod children in the past, but it didn’t happen often for him to be graced with a real child.Who could then blame him, when he watched Perseus closely growing up, chest swollen with pride because he was perfect? Perfect like Triton, his heir, and so funny. It felt only natural to claim Perseus as his, the first opportunity he got, he was so proud to be able to present such a courageous and normal child. (Percy is anything but)or:Percy in a way he could've been, had things been slightly different

i've been howling at a hollow moon

by moonlight_mist

"Don't you get it, sunshine?" Wilbur croons, arms tight around Tommy's torso, pulling him so close that Tommy can hardly tell where he ends and the monster begins. "Your soul is forever bound to this forest, just like ours. You're never going to be able to leave.""No," Tommy gasps. "No, you're- you're lying, you're lying-""Aw, darling," Wilbur says, long fingers threading under Tommy's chin and forcing it up, so that Tommy has to look into the soulless black pits Wilbur calls eyes, "It's alright. You're mine now. That's not so bad, is it?"---When Tommy casts a summoning spell from an old spellbook, he doesn't expect to accidentally bind his soul to the forest around his hometown. He doesn't expect for the monsters in said forest to claim him as theirs. He certainly doesn't expect to die. But when has anything ever gone his way?

until all the songs are sung

by moonlight_mist

There are monsters in the woods. Most people lock their doors and light their candles on All Hallow's Eve, the one night per year when the forest's monsters are allowed to take to the streets in revelry. Tommy, meanwhile, chains himself to the wall in an attempt to stop himself from joining them. But the call gets stronger every year, and he can't resist his family forever.

I walk the streets at night (with monsters in my mind)

by arguablysomaya

The City of Gotham is plagued by a dragon, one that draws lonely boys and girls to it every few years. The town watches, horrified, as time after time, children disappear into the forest, and the ones that stay behind are nearly as terrifying as the ones who go away.Or: this fandom has a sad lack of dragon!au fics so I took the responsibility upon myself
