    Summary

    Joker broke out of Arkham because he wanted to. It had nothing to do with the news showing a photo of his Batman with Catwoman. Absolutely not.

    Or the story of how Joker tries to make Batman jealous and ends up falling in love with Bruce Wayne instead.

    Harley/Joker is past only.

    Summary

    Set during the summer after Harry's Fifth Year. The fifteen-year-old is struggling to cope with his godfather's recent death, ridden with guilt, shame, remorse, and much internal conflict, depression looming on the horizon. The Dursleys aren't helping things either. Things take a sudden twist for the worse when the Blood Wards around Privet Drive fall, rendering Harry unsafe. What's the solution? Dumbledore arranges for Harry to stay with his most hated person after Voldemort and Umbridge: Severus Snape. In isolation. For two weeks. It goes without saying that neither wizard is pleased, and their feelings of mutual hatred are much reciprocated. And with a ticking sleep-deprived Gryffindor time-bomb, that right there is a recipe for a dangerous concoction.

     

    Angst, hurt/comfort, emphasis on psychology and character developement. Super slice-of-life kind of story where every chapter is one day of the two weeks our two favorite characters have to spend in isolation. And the chapters are LONG. Panic attacks, stress, anxiety all based off of personal experiences. Written in third-person omniscient. Heavy emphasis on internal conflict, feelings, emotions, and learning to cope with life's shit.

    Summary

    "If you wanna be a hero that badly, there’s a quick way to do it. Believe that you’ll be born with a quirk in your next life and take a swan dive off the roof!”

    When Katsuki’s comment comes at just the wrong time, Izuku takes his advice. But it is not the end.

    Alternatively:
    In another world where Izuku is attacked by the sludge villain on the way to school instead of after it, his dreams get crushed too soon. With nothing to save him and Katsuki’s words ringing in his ears, Izuku decides to end it all by jumping off his school’s roof. As his body cracks on the ground, Izuku does not pass on to the next world. Instead, he is left as a ghost among many others. When the slime villain escapes from jail and attacks the person Izuku can’t help but care for, he learns that there may be more to his afterlife than he thought.

    And maybe he can be a hero after all.

    Summary

    The Fourth Hokage's body was never found, but they never suspected that was because he hadn't died.

    Minato Namikaze wakes up six years after the devastating Kyuubi attack, alone in an overgrown clearing with not a scratch on him. Disoriented and confused, he does exactly what any father would do in this situation. He fights through the pain, gets up, and goes to find his son. He trudges through the pounding in his head and forces himself to move-- to go and find him, because that masked man was still out there, and Minato is willing to do anything to protect his little ball of sunshine.

     


    Needless to say, the blonde kage wasn't expecting so much time to have passed. Nor is he very impressed with the way the village has been treating his son all these years.

    Summary

    "Remember," Sansa whispers in Robb's ear. He holds her more tightly to his chest, sure she can feel his heartbeat nearly ready to bound out of it. "Remember what Father always says, and we can do this."

    "Winter is coming?"

    "Yes, that. And." He feels her take a deep breath, and he tries to commit the way her hair smells to memory. It may be a long time before he sees his dear sister again. "Songs live longer than kingdoms."

    "Right," he whispers back, trying not to let his voice break. He finishes the adage. "But there will be plenty songs written about us."

    ...

    In which Ned Stark realizes that with baby Jon alive, the war is not over, and conducts his household accordingly.

    Or: In which Ned Stark trusts his wife and his family, and it changes everything.

    There must always be a Stark in Winterfell, and if there cannot be, then they must at least be prepared. After all... winter is coming.
