    Summary

    After the world forgot him, Peter kept fighting. He was Spider-Man after all. But as the villains get worse and the heroes dwindle, Peter finally grows tired. Hasn't he done his time? He's never once shirked the responsibility forced upon him. Never once has he put himself first.

    Eventually, the straw breaks the camel's back. Peter finally hangs up the cape.

    Unfortunately the universe seems to disagree. When Peter wakes up in Gotham he knows he should probably find a way home. But what's the point? Normal people don't find their way home across the multiverse, and Peter is normal now. He refuses to be anything else.

    So why do unfamiliar heroes keep ending up on his doorstep? And can he really turn them away?

    --

    In which Peter Parker just wants to retire but instead he becomes a mentor for young dcu heroes and his home becomes a vigilante halfway house

    Summary

    Dick Grayson didn't want to leave, but after dying, after the Spyral, after Bruce went too far and his family wouldn't even let him explain, he left anyway. He just wasn't able to stay.

    Years later he was happy at While Collar as Neal Caffrey, or as happy as he could be without his family. His brothers, on the other hand, have learned exactly what happened to their oldest and have been searching since he left. Lucky for them, Tim has a meeting scheduled with Peter Burke. There might also a plan that involves hugs, brotherly backup, and a secret assassin-trained weapon.

    Summary

    Nightwing has to bite back a laugh. “Gotham is a no-fly zone for more than just the JL, Supes. But, from what Blud knows, chances are that whatever you’ve heard is probably true.”

    Superman pales, which is anything but unexpected. Pretty much all of Gotham tends to be horrifying to Outsiders, as Nightwing is well aware. The question here is which rumors Superman decided were concerning enough to actually look into, the answer to which could be literally anything from the pollution levels to the regularity of the city-wide Fear Gas attacks.

    Or something entirely outside of the usual spectrum of Things That Outsiders Need To Stop Freaking Out About, Nightwing discovers when Superman blurts, “But the Waynes aren’t actually possessed, right?”

    …Ah.

    Well, crap.

     

    Or, in Gotham, it’s been common knowledge since the very beginning that the Waynes are unwitting hosts to the parasitic Bats, who protect Gotham and its people from threats both internal and external in turn. There’s nothing anyone can do about it, even if they wanted to.

    (That’s… not actually what’s happening, but nobody needs to know that. The Batfam is too committed to the bit to pull out now.)

    Summary

    Neal absolutely can play the tough guy and get in with this gang of thieves, seriously Peter. The shady looking redhead with the tattoo and scars all along his arms isn’t a problem Peter, promise. Uh, just ignore that entire conversation. Ignore the weird camera glitch around Neal’s face too please, for all of our peace of mind.

    Roy Harper walks into a bar. Yeah, he's pissed about it too.

    Summary

    A familiar redheaded child darts across the bullpen with a shout of “PAPA!” and barrels into Jason’s arms.

    “Lian–” He breathes.

     

    Jason's undercover work as Neal Caffrey is difficult for several reasons. He didn't anticipate that single parenting would be one of them, though.
