Summary
The vivid clarity of the world around himself, draped in a dark cloak of night that his enhanced eyes saw through as if it were but a thin sheet; the crisp autumn air tickling the inside of his nostrils with such saturation that it almost felt like he could taste the coming winter on the tip of his tongue. The breeze that came from this altitude tickled his bare skin, and despite its ineffectual chill against his strengthened flesh, goosebumps climbed up his neck from the tactile sensitivity he bore against its breath.
Everything felt so real, realer and fresher than it'd ever been. If that made sense, which it probably didn’t.
His senses then were just so alive that he didn’t think he could recall a time he’d ever been so… aware, of everything.
Toji fucking Fushiguro. Who would've guessed. In the middle of Shibuya too, like, really?

Summary
Peter Parker ended up in Gotham with the cliché "Everyone Forgets You" trope, then found his way to the Metropolis and become a Daily Planet intern, and somehow still find his way to Gotham and photographs the vigilantes around to post it online.
No one told Peter that the fucking Bats are camera shy.

Summary
Gen Asagiri is a gentle soul, but everyone has their breaking point. When Senku is shot, something freezes and shatters within him. He will not be kind. He will do everything he can, the very best he can manage, to ensure not one more person he cares about is hurt.
Gen's POV in the beginning, swaps to Xeno's POV for the final battle and aftermath.
There was a book quote, Gen wasn't sure where he'd first heard it. There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man. Well, the Kingdom of Science had no shortage of gentle men. Beneath his masks, deep down where his true self hid beneath the layers of acting required to be so deep undercover, Gen Asagiri was also very, very angry.

Summary
An experienced Peter Parker is retired. His enemies bested. His abilities mastered. His fighting perfected. All that there was left to do was let the legend live on, to grow old.
Until he fixes something he shouldn’t and is thrown back through time to the body of his teenage self.
…A beginning Peter Parker barely grasping his powers has been replaced with a veteran hero.
With the knowledge of every villain's plan, the confidence and charm of a seasoned professional and decades of honed fighting abilities, may God have mercy on his enemies.
Especially the ones that don’t know they're friends now.

In the corner of Sister Margaret’s, a man in red had his face flat against the table. He looked like a drowned puppy, had clearly been caught in the rain outside.
Blindly, face still against the table, he began to reach out for his bottle of tequila, hand reaching into dead air.
Just before his sweeping hand could knock it straight off the edge, it was elegantly snatched up.
The man in red sat up quickly to see who had stolen his liquor.
“Hello Mr Wilson.”
Wade blinked.
“Do I fucking know you?”
Peter Parker grinned.

Summary
Stiles has had the night from hell. Running for his life through the preserve, all the while actively bleeding out from his wounds, throwing in a disembodied voice and a sudden acquisition of magic powers, and Stiles is just about ready to write off the last twenty-four hours, sleep for a week, and start again.
Unfortunately, life has other plans.
***
Starts up at the end of season two after Stiles leaves the Argent basement.
TW because there are some rape/non-con elements, no actual rape more just some unwanted touching, and rated mature because of graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, and whatnot.
Characters are mostly underage (Everyone who is still in Highschool at least), but they are aged up slightly, Stiles is seventeen, for example, and Derek is twenty because I said so.

Only his family has genuinely seen the twisting, cutting darkness underneath.OR:
Five times where Dick's family experiences his protectiveness head-on, and once where they don't.
