Summary
A single flap of a butterfly's wings can cause hurricanes.
Laurel Lance opts to take a humanitarian course during her gap year between undergrad and law school to pad out her college resume. She's assigned to a project in China and accepts Robert Queen's offer to travel with him on the Queen's Gambit to save on air fare. She bids a farewell to her boyfriend, Robert's son Oliver, with a promise to discuss the possibility of moving in together when she returns.
She doesn't. Not for another five years.
(Or where it is Laurel, and Laurel alone, that goes on the Gambit.
It changes everything.)

Summary
Laurel Drake was born in District Eight as the illegitimate daughter of a Peacekeeper. She spends her days earning money to help her overworked mother work a little less, playing oblivious to her father's pining, and training in martial arts with her little sister Sara under their Uncle Ted at the local gym. Having learned at a young age to keep her mouth shut like everyone else in Panem, she does her best to ignore the implications.
Oliver Queen is the son of Robert Queen and Moira Queen, two of District One's most famous Victors. Born and bred to be a Victor in his own right, Oliver is great at putting on a fake smile while ignoring the churning in his gut whenever he thinks about entering the arena. His path has been chosen, and much like everyone else in Panem, he knows better than to question it.
Then, the Seventieth Hunger Games rolls around. They're both eighteen years old.
Laurel is reaped. Oliver volunteers.
And Panem will never be the same.
(Or, where Laurel and Oliver are like Katniss and Peeta - except when they aren't.)

Summary
Oliver Queen was the sixteen-year-old scion of the wealthy Queen family before a boat trip gone awry landed him on the island hell of Lian Yu.
Three years prior, Barry Allen, all eleven years of age, woke up to a whirlwind of gold and scarlet and watched as a man in a yellow suit ruined his life. Three years after, he washes up on the shores of purgatory.
Kara Zor-El, age twelve, had neither luxury. She was shoved into a space ship, baby cousin in hand, and tossed into the ebony abyss as her planet exploded around her, landing in a world so similar and yet so very different from her own.
(Or: The AU where Oliver, Barry, and Kara survive Lian Yu together for years, raising a baby Kal-El, and are eventually rescued – by the League of Assassins)

Summary
Still recovering from the Thanagarian Invasion, the Justice League finds themselves in a new crisis when they discover two mysterious swordsmen from another world, each bearing strength beyond their wildest imaginations and sharing a complex relationship that not even Batman can quite understand.
Dracule "Hawk-Eyes" Mihawk, after fighting the duel of his life and dying at the sword of one of the only two men he ever found worthy enough to taste the full weight of his blade, wakes up in a new land with no direction and comes face-to-face with an older version of the man that took his title.
"Pirate Hunter" Roronoa Zoro, still recovering from the death of his captain during the greatest battle of the age, finds himself enveloped in a mysterious light and into another world, and in the presence of the only man he ever respected in equal measure to the captain he lost.
Enemies, rivals, master and student — neither of them have ever managed to put a label to their relationship, because they've been all that and everything in-between. Now, as they survive this new world and search for a way home, the two swordsmen try to find some common ground as they begin this unexpected chapter in their magnificent tale.

Summary
Like any other person in the world, Barry Allen dreamed of one day meeting his soulmate. The person that would set his skin on fire with a single touch; that would – hopefully – not dismiss his theories about the impossible. The person that would understand him, accept him for who he was, all the broken, frayed edges surrounding him.
He never dreamed the second half of his soul would be a monster.
(In which Barry Allen’s soulmate is Earth-2’s Hunter Zolomon, and it changes everything)
