Summary
Itachi is a shinobi. He lives, he serves, he fights, and he obeys. It is not a life he wants - not a light burden, or one that can be tossed aside as the heir to his clan. He is a pawn. A tool. To be human is a callously hopeful dream he cannot bear to consider while his family wades through a self-crafted political quagmire.
He is drowning. He is flying. Itachi wraps bruised knuckles and tries not to feel like a crow with broken wings. Sasuke deserves better. Shisui is steadily absent more often, and the elders are starting to claw their way to a coup. Itachi is backed into a corner with no way out.
Meanwhile, Shikamaru has traveled back through time and is quietly dismantling the Akatsuki for funsies, but this story isn’t about him.

Summary
Shisui woke on the shores of the Naka in a world where Sasuke was the student of Orochimaru, Obito’s grief counselor was the worst houseplant imaginable, and Itachi had turned to mass murder for problem solving. Less than a month of sprinting across the Elemental Nations to cry and bleed on various relatives later, he succeeded in finding a bit of peace.
Shisui completed his speedrun fix-it. These are the missing scenes.
Supplementary to the completed story Pyroclastic Speedrun, a compilation of requested scenes. This fic is best read following the first in the series.

Summary
Midoriya Izuku is One for All. One for All is Midoriya Izuku.
He barely remembers that last battle, barely remembers when All for One had forced another quirk into his genetic code. He'd stopped aging once it was passed on. Now, centuries in the future, All for One breaks the promise holding Izuku's life together. Izuku has seen heroes rise and fall for ages at a time, all claiming to act in his name.
Too many lives have been lost for his flawed legacy. It's time to end this, once and for all.
(this fic functions independently of the Null and Void series. you don't have to read the other parts to understand it!!)

Summary
Matt realizes nobody is stepping up while Spiderman is breaking himself needlessly over city streets and webbed up criminals. Someone should teach the kid how to fight. He doesn't believe he can be that person; doesn't believe he can step over the miles of mistakes and bloody regrets he's built the Devil out of.
Somebody has to. Just... not him. Right?
Or, Matt sees a teenager fighting and experiences a midlife crisis. Foggy calls him a mother hen. Karen has a criminal empire to defeat. Peter has no clue just how much panic he's causing but is hoping that maybe - possibly - he can get Daredevil to be his teacher in the ways of vigilante justice.
(I'm trying to beat writing block, let's see if this works.)

Summary
Izuku has seen himself live as a hero, villain, vigilante, civilian, adventurer. He's seen worlds rise and fall through snapshots, analyzing each glance in neat notebooks. Now his story has started, and only one thing is certain: He hasn't saved them yet.
Aka the fic that takes the dimension travel troupe, throws it out the window, and replaces it with bad puns and plot.
Spoilers for specific arcs posted in the beginning notes of each chapter. (first posted fanfic, lmk what you think!)

Summary
After fifteen-year-old Jason Todd claws his way out of his own grave, it’s not the League of Assassins that find him—but Father Michael.
Jason never becomes a killer.
Instead, he becomes a priest.
Five years later, a grieving man unknowingly walks into the confessional of the child he lost.
“Bless me, Father,” he says. “It’s been five years since I buried my son.”
Jason recognizes the voice instantly.
Or,
A boy dies. A man rises. A prodigal son returns home.

Summary
Across the table, Damian squeezed his fingers around his glass. "…Wait."
Dick turned to him, "Yeah, bud?"
Damian swallowed. "…if Drake was actually asleep that long, it would be bad?"
"Yeah, Dames. It would be really bad."
OR
Tim falls into a pollen-induced coma, courtesy of Poison Ivy. It takes a long time for the Bats to figure out that he isn't just sleeping.
