  5. Summary

    A place to collect all the stories that use the time-loop set up where (after Marineford):

    Luffy runs off into Amazon Lily and before Jinbe catches up to him, he runs into this time machine that Vegapunk built. Why's it on Amazon Lily? Because it malfunctioned and over the course of several years, ended up there, unbeknownst to its residents. It's still malfunctioning, which is why Luffy repeats the events of the Amazon Lily & Impel Down arcs without actually having to return to the machine.

    Summary

    Under the light cast by the torches that ring the shattered tower in which Gon at last comes face-to-face with Pitou, Killua stands in his shadow.

    And speaks.

    What if, at the precipice of the most calamitous event of their young lives, Gon made a different choice? One that alters his and Killua's fates forever.

    1. Retribution: The other Ants learn to avoid Gon when Pitou takes him for his walks.

    2. Intimacy: "Hey Killua," Gon tells him as they watch the stars, "Let's go to the Dark Continent."

    If a simple change of scenery has done this much, a trip to uncharted territory should heal them both.

    3. Mercy: "Killua," says Gon as Killua turns to leave, "Thank you."

    4. Loss: Morel cradles something wrapped in Knuckle's jacket, something that seems much too small to be what it is until Gon sees Killua's shoes.

    5. Hope: Gon asks Killua if he would make a good fisherman.

    They plan to meet again on January 1st.

    Companion fic to Four times Killua died (and the one time he didn't).

    Bookmarker's Notes

    heart-eyes at the writing

    Bruce is terrified. And furious.

    Dick is well-acquainted with this look. As Robin, it meant weeks of being grounded, and days spent with either Bruce obsessively monitoring him or ignoring him completely. Punished or exiled. God knows Bruce only deals in absolutes.

    As Nightwing, the look mostly means yelling. Lots and lots of yelling followed by months of no words at all. Dick can kiss his family goodbye. After all, they will always be Bruce’s family first.

    Dick’s stomach is pulled out through the soles of his feet. His insides drop like a stone in the ocean. Down, down, down. His husk of a body is left on the surface, weak and tensed for battle.

    But the battle doesn’t come. Bruce exhales. He brushes the wet bangs out of Dick’s face. Gently, his hands move down and he inspects Dick’s gloves. He removes them with the grace of a surgeon. The rain stabs at Dick’s bare skin. Dagger after dagger after dagger –

    Summary

    The universe Bruce wakes up in has superheroes, aliens and, somewhat more strangely, it also has four children living in Wayne Manor.

    Bruce Wayne is almost forty. He's been an innovator, a philanthropist and GQ's Most Wanted twelve years counting. He doesn't remember being a dad. But now that he is, he's going to be the best dad one could possibly be.

    Or: Batman is a dick. AU-Bruce saves the day.
