POGTOPIA??? WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE??

Ripped from his home, Midoriya Izuku finds himself in a strange and fantastical world. Star-spanning empires, superhuman soldiers, and the man who calls himself 'Emperor' leading it all.

Her godfather is dead. So is Tom Riddle, which appears to be the only thing anyone else cares about. Oh, and getting ahold of her, her money, and her titles. Fuck that noise. Ianthe learned how to Maraud from the best, and she doesn't intend to take this lying down. She intends to change a single moment in time - and change the life of her godfather, herself, and the whole of Magical Britain. That the price for that change is all that she is, including her life? There's always a price. Merlin showing up and telling her that the price of her actions isn't her death? Not part of her calculations. Changing the past is surprisingly easy. Living it might just be harder. Especially when the lives she changed to save the future collide with the one she now lives, thirty years in the past.

Childe had always assumed that he would die young. He had accepted that a long time ago, ever since he accepted the mantle of a Fatui Harbinger. However, he always thought that he would die in a glorious fight, his body broken but spirit relishing the strong opponent that had bested him. He was okay with that type of death. Unfortunately, it seemed like Fate had decided to add one last insult to injury, because, here Childe was, dying because he had fallen in love with the ex-Geo Archon. The same Archon who seemed to have discarded him like an old toy ever since the Osial Incident.---In which divine beings are cruel and a cursed Childe starts preparing for his inevitable death because no Archon could ever love a mortal. ...Right?

As black spots enter his vision, he can’t help but feel like all the other shit in his life has led up to this moment. From the day he turned four— no, from the day he was born— he was a person waiting to die. That’s what everyone has been beating into him, isn’t it? That death would be a welcome mercy for someone like him. And no matter how badly he wanted it to change, now he knows it never would. Because, right now, Izuku Midoriya was choking, suffocating, dying.- OR The day of the sludge villain incident two things happen to Izuku Midoriya. One, his dreams are crushed for the last time, forcing him to find a new goal for his life. Two, he force-manifests a quirk, but he thinks it's a shitty one, like some god playing a cruel joke in what were supposed to be his final moments.(updated weekly)

Written for this prompt on the Avengers kinkmeme (and first posted there): "The Avengers are trapped somewhere. A forest, a cave, whatever. Tony, who is hurt, traumatized, his arc reactor running low, MacGyvers some awesome shit and saves the day. The Avengers can only watch in awe." The Avengers are stuck in a cave, and Tony, despite being essentially incapacitated by the loss of his suit, has a working plan to deal with this shit. So what if his team thinks he's only useful in the suit? And so what that they're not in life-threatening danger, the kind that Loki strews around himself like confetti? Tony is going to get them out of there by hook or by crook, because goddammit he hates caves, and no one else is coming up with a better plan. They're not in danger now, but time is running out. And if Tony has to damage himself to pull off his plan, well, them's the breaks. Incidentally, Steve doesn't like it when Tony's damaged. (Or: Stand back! Tony Stark's about to try science. Dangerous, self-sacrificing science.)

Only then can the family finally start mending their relationship.

Cale Henituse was similar to himself-Kim Rok Soo-in an assortment of things, but his reactions were not of someone who had given in. No, they were of someone clinging to a ledge between giving in and fighting back. The ledge was more dangerous than the ground that built it. Rok Soo could not let this punk who reminded him of himself self-destruct and become trash. He also couldn’t just ignore the punk who has dreams of the future. Rok Soo smiles slightly, but Cale thinks it looked quite sad. The older boy removes his hand and extends it, “Punk, you and I seem to be oddities in this world. Let’s ensure ourselves peaceful lives,” Or alternatively:Kim Rok Soo gets brought into the Roan Kingdom as the youngest adopted child of a noble family in the Henituse Territory. Oh, he’s also three years too early.

Tim Drake has made a terrible mistake. He has inadvertently brought a child into the world, and now he needs to make sure that the world is safe for it to grow up in. So, in his first, last, and only year as Red Robin, Tim travels the world in order to rescue Bruce, then disappears to raise his son. The only problem? Ra's knows. OR It has been two years since Tim Drake was last in the Batcave. Two years since the Justice League tried to bring him in and throw him into Arkham. Two years since Red Robin blew up half of Gotham in order to escape. A little under fifteen months since he reappeared suddenly, with proof and specific instructions on how to bring Bruce back, then disappeared again. But now, even after trying everything to find his son again, Bruce has to admit it: Tim is gone. So why does Red Robin suddenly appear again, this time to stay? And why is he working alongside Lex Luthor and Ra's al Ghul?

"Hyung … I tried to stop them …" "Stop who? What's happening?" "They took them."

He is going to need Tony and the rest of his newfound family to help him manage it.
