Summary
Jack Drake loves his wife and son, even if they're giant, fire breathing reptiles that would rather eat the mailman than pick up a package. That's fine, he can deal. It'd just be nice if they weren't so territorial. Then they could actually be on the same continent without trying to kill each other. Oh well, every family has their challenges. The Drakes' just happen to be more homicidal than most.
Feat. Dragon Tim and Janet's loving (but murderous) relationship, Jack's ongoing attempts to be a good dad, and the Waynes getting increasingly concerned about Tim's home life after he becomes Robin.
Now with Attic Gremlins, Jason's Emotional Support Bazooka, speedsters, excessive amounts of PowerPoints, and Tim's mastery of communication as he shows off just how good his human act can be.

Summary
When the world becomes aware of teenaged superheroes there is an immediate and fierce wave of backlash and controversy. That's where Phantom comes in.
Phantom saved the world from a meteor fifteen years back; an impressive feat back in the day but now that meteors threatening all life on earth is such a common event that hardly anyone thinks about it. Phantom is considered an old timer who deals with a small city and nowhere else. When he begins uploading videos with advice for young heroes, he hopes a few new heroes might avoid some of the pain he went through. He's shocked at just how popular his advice suddenly becomes.

Summary
Peter Hale is still trying to put his life back together after much of his family was burned in a house fire that left him catatonic in a slow heal for years. He's not sure what he'd do with his soulmate if he ever met the person he feels now and then. He's not sure what to do with himself most days.
Christopher Argent lives happily with his beautiful wife, and brilliant daughter. He has two soulmates: one soul sense is hearing and he's heard enough to know that those howls mean werewolf, the other soul sense is touch, a sense that kicked in almost a year after his daughter was born. He wishes both soulmates well but hopes to never meet them.
Stiles Stilinski knows his soulmates are both older, never having known a time before he heard and felt things through his soul senses. His parents were soulmates and he longs for that kind of love. He can't wait to meet his soulmates, he just knows they're going to be perfect.
The wolf, the hunter, and the deputy all find themselves drawn to the mystery in the woods, and it's only a matter of time before their lives are forever changed. For better or worse.

Summary
A wolf howled, long and mournful. Stiles looked around, his breath coming in visible puffs on the frosty air as he searched for fur and fangs and sad eyes, but he saw only the swaying green limbs of evergreen trees in the wind. Snow started to fall and he looked up at the white sky, blinking, before he fell backwards to land softly on a familiar bed. He blinked again and the soft white of the sky solidified into his bedroom ceiling with its neon green glow in the dark stars. He watched as a nebula formed in the space between his outstretched hand and the plastic stars, mesmerized as it roiled and burned in fast forward to birth a star, a real one, right into his bedroom. The star burned white hot against his skin, so bright and painful that his nerves couldn’t compute. He twisted away desperately, crying out. A dark skinned man in the corner watched calmly as he writhed and said, “We begin in the dark, and birth is the death of us.” Stiles screamed as the fire sunk into his skin, his soul, and fell once more into the darkness.
//
Stiles ends up in 2004, before the Hale fire, and learns a lot about himself, life, and what it means to hold onto what you love and not let go.

Summary
Prompt from @cyrwrites (And then, I, like, tweaked it a lot.) From prompt: "Tim, as a kid, wishes for a new mom. Desiree didn't know her wishes could turn against HER, of all people. However, Tim's wish had turned her into something resembling a human form and now she felt obligated to take care of the little guy."
*
Timothy Drake, son of amateur archaeologists, comes into possession of an antique oil lamp. It's plain enough, despite it's historic value— and it takes nothing at all to figure out how to light it. Alone on his birthday and left alone with a flame, Tim makes a wish.
*👻🪔👻*
Desiree wakes up in the corpse of a human woman.

Summary
High King Phantom was widely regarded as a benevolent King, fair and kind and just. But the Benevolent King was still a King. Still all-powerful. Still the commander of armies. Still had a core that beat for the protection of what was his.
Jason Todd, known as the Red Hood in Gotham and the High King's Red Knight in the Infinite Realms (but known to Danny as his boyfriend Jason, Jane Austen nerd and Chili Dog connoisseur) certainly qualified as his.
And Batman had just slit Jason's throat. Batman had nearly destroyed the greatest treasure of High King Phantom's core. And the King would not rest until the Bat paid the price.

Summary
The Bat is a spirit that resides over Gotham and her residents with children galore and brings a little bit (or a lot) of fright to the criminals in Gotham - demons some say. Others gods.
The Waynes just want a good night's sleep for once damnit
general TW; most of these fics will deal in dehumanization. Extra side note, those dehumanized are aware of what is happening and support it
While this is marked complete it is still being added to with short stories as I am inspired to write them

Summary
She tugged Tony against her body, the baby cradled between them. With her forehead pressed against his, she murmured a blessing. Tony felt like he was four again, going to Mass with his Nonna.
“If you would save all creation, look beyond each single life. Let those who must fall, fall. Mourn the fading of each dead leaf but do not pause to stop it. Instead, create anew. Create out of ashes and death. Create out of darkness and chaos. That is how existence fought for life. Remake yourself, Anthony. And rise.”

Summary
"The runes are wrong."
"What does that mean for us?"?" Tim hisses over the beginnings of a dozen voices rising in chant.
"Nothing good." Jason states grimly, frantically racking his brain for any way out. Whatever entity is about to come out of this circle is going to be baring a fate worse than death.
Jason would know. He’s been dead.
…Actually speaking of being dead. Jason does know someone from the Ghost Zone with enough sheer audacity to help him fight what very well could be an actual demon.
With a mental ‘fuck it’, Jason begins to chant.
AKA: Jason and Danny became friends in the Ghost Zone. This is about to be everyone’s problem. Batman just wants to know who this illusive teenager is. Because he’s a meta. Obviously. Not for adoption reasons. No siree, not him.
