Summary
“Jace!” cried the brown-haired boy, grinning sunnily at Jason. “You made it, finally!”
Jason returned the kid’s stare with far less enthusiasm and far more turmoil, though he attempted to conceal it. Wispy brows, shaggy hair, a spattering of freckles spread from cheek to cheek, and a roundness to his nose and jawline that would sharpen with age.
“… Peter?” he said cautiously and was rewarded with another toothy grin.
“Hi! You’re super tall now!”
Dick snorted and Jason shot him a glare. But he couldn’t keep his eyes away from itty bitty Petey for very long. It took the Bitsy nickname to a whole new level.
“I’ve always been tall,” he reminded Peter. “It’s just you’re even smaller than usual.”
On a routine patrol, Spider-Man and Spoiler are caught out by a new kid on the block. Now there are two more new kids on the block.
Jason is Not Pleased™️ with this development.
Compliant with 'Existential Crisis Mode' but can easily be read separately.

Summary
Post season 8. Several years have passed and Jon has been living beyond the wall in exile, but when a royal pardon comes from the Capitol, Jon suddenly finds himself a free man. He is content to remain beyond the wall, but a letter from Sansa urging him to come back home to Winterfell changes everything. Jon must face his growing desires that are becoming harder and harder to ignore. What no one south of the wall knows is that Jon is now changed. Bitten by a werewolf in the desolate mountains far beyond the wall, Jon has now become a monster from one of Old nan's stories. Can Jon make a home for himself in Winterfell despite the beast that's trying to claw its way out?
I watched The Beast Within, which unfortunately I did not enjoy but It got the gears turning in my mind imagining Jon as a werewolf. So here we have it, a steamy werewolf au! This isn't going to be a plot heavy story. It's a story about two very traumatized individuals, picking up the broken pieces and finding love and healing in each other. Pining, yearning, denial, lots of smut and knotting to boot!

Summary
Uncle Iroh- for some reason Zuko yet again failed to understand -refused to shoot lightning at his nephew. When further asked about it, he'd said something about it being for safety and health reasons (although it was still a bit unclear whose health he was referring to).
Zuko had never been able to count on luck though. If he wanted to ensure he could get an upper hand against his family, he would have to go and look for one himself, like with pretty much everything else in his life.
But perhaps people should really be careful of what they wish for. It might become true in the least expected ways.
Or:
Zuko gets cursed by the spirits and things go differently than expected, but also not much changes -

Summary
Mariko Higurashi was just another high school girl—sharp-tongued, secretly sentimental, and burdened with a power she never asked for. When flame butterflies start appearing around her and her headaches turn into visions, her quiet life shatters. Her Sacred Gear, Psyche’s Rebirth, is awakening. And with it… echoes of a life once lived as Ceres, a warrior from centuries past.
As whispers of her past resurface, so do dangerous figures—including Adraxus, a cursed immortal who believes Mariko is the reincarnation of the woman he lost.
And then there’s Vali Lucifer—cold, arrogant, and cruel to Issei, Mariko’s childhood best friend. She can’t stand him. He’s the kind of person she swore she’d never get close to or even worth shedding an ounce of sympathy.
But fate is cruel, and the threads between them are tightening. There’s something about Vali she can’t ignore… and something about her that terrifies him.
As the world darkens and her soul begins to fracture, Mariko must decide if she will burn away the past—or become the very flame that consumes her.

Summary
“What did you do,” Astarion snarled, and it sounded awful in his borrowed voice. He all but shoved Shadowheart out of the way and fell to his knees, clutching Gale tight by the shoulders, almost shaking. “You fucking fool, I told you not to touch it.”
“I-” Gale stammered uselessly, his face pale and stricken and Astarion hated how Gale managed to make him look so pitiful.
∴Body swap but Astarion can't cope.

Summary
In dreams, it was easy to pretend that the world was perfect.
The smell of sunshine and flowers, the hint of a rain that followed close behind, and the caress of casual summer felt warm on his face. He remembered laughing – though he hadn’t done it in so long that he’d forgotten, it seemed, how to really feel it. Not really a mystery when the last six years of his life had been nothing but darkness and loss. It had to be different, he thought as he stared out the window at the dreary night that closed like a fist around him…it had to be different.
It just did.And this time...he wasn't alone to face it.

I already wrote them together in the original and called it Obscurity. But this is me trying my hand at Remake Leon and his darker, broodier, more lost self. Why? Because I do what my brain wants. And this is what it spit out.Series

Summary
Young and reckless Christopher ‘Kit’ Owens has known little else than the wide ocean horizon in his short life. Conditioned since a young age to a life of hard work in order to feed a family of eight siblings, and surviving the merciless life as a deckhand through the sheer force of a cunning will and a deft hand at cards, he has now, at the age of twenty-four, run out of luck and money. Heavily indebted in every tavern and with every captain in the Caribbean, hence no ship to board, Kit is at his wits’ end.
In his desperation, he uses his very last coins on a game of cards in a local tavern in Port Royal. When he gets into a scuffle, the last person he expects to come to his rescue is Commodore James Norrington. Suddenly, Kit finds himself in Norrington’s employ and in a quite different life debt; one that he is less reluctant to relinquish.
It is the beginning of an unexpected friendship with the reticent and complex Commodore. A friendship that strengthens and evolves in the long months at sea, despite Norrington’s persistent reluctance; no less complicated by the appearance of pirates, sea monsters, troublesome crew members, conniving British officials and the ever meddling East India Company.
