  1. Summary

    Sans remembers this myth, an urban legend

    About a deity who vanquishes despair

    In darkest times, he comes with a guiding hand and a sweet voice

    Why does he feel so familiar? Why does it seem like the connection he had is something more?

    Some call him "the Exalt"

    Others, "The Herald", and other such names

    "The Seraph" is the most common.

    He's called many names, but a lone flower and a determined human child call him "Pappy"

    Summary

    By day, he is Genos, the socially awkward and far too intense student in glasses, vests, household arms and an attempt at somewhat neat hair!
    By... also day, he is the Demon Cyborg, handsome, strong, likely to set things on fire, dressed like a boyband reject, and with various removable combat arms! One of the twenty-one most lauded heroes of the country! He fights for justice! He seeks revenge! He has a crush on four different people?!

    Saitama is just Saitama. He doesn't care much for these secret identities, but he knows that other people do, and somehow he ended up with three?
    Well, time to do what he does best: wing it.

    Hilarious, and so cute! Not sure which I like better - Saitama's uniforms and how they started, or the confirmation that Bato is just as vulnerable to the identity disguises as almost everyone else. Also includes some very nice art

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Sometimes a girl just wants to read sexist asshats getting their asses ripped to shreds. This series is a goddess of War and Death getting yeeted into various terrible worlds and removing everyone who is terrible to her. And making living conditions better for the general public while she's at it. (I'm not sure which is going to end up my favourite: Lightning From a Clear Sky is *chef's kiss* but I have a more personal hatred for the world she sets to rights in Confession's End.)

    Summary

    He learns of lots of things that these people say his older self has experienced in the apocalypse: kindness, companionship, strength, family, love, sacrifice; all things they say the older him has provided to them.

    (He's not sure he believes it.)

    They seem to know him too well to the point that it scares him a bit, listing things they couldn't possibly know if they didn't; his hate for tomatoes, his tendency to lie with a straight face, his love for stories; even predicting correctly that his favorite food will be murim dumplings, once he tries them. They try very hard not to overwhelm him, but both the praise and insult they give him remain unchanging, time and time again.

    The person they describe— it doesn't sound like him. Like anything he could possibly be.

    (And yet, it's a fact that they're here, waiting for that person to come back to them. It's comforting, and frightening at the same time; both an assurance and an expectation.)

    (or: Kim Dokja, and the mortifying ordeal of being loved)

    Summary

    “Eighteen years ago, an earthquake ripped through Gotham City, and in the aftermath, instead of helping, the US government sealed the city under a ‘quarantine’ and left them to die. Two years later, when signs of life and even civilisation were still detectable inside the shattered city, the government sent the military in to reclaim and rehabilitate Gotham. Gotham has not forgotten, and they have not forgiven either.”

    An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.

    A/B/O where Gotham is not Mainland and pack and auras mean something.
