    Summary

    A pod of orphaned killer whales are sinking yachts off the Iberian Peninsula and marine biologist Clark Kent is trying to figure out why their behavior has changed so drastically. Nothing could prepare him for the truth, however, or the strange twists his life was about to take when me meets a merman....named Bruce?

    Inspired by some incredible art of Mershark!Bruce by Batty. <3 I know the plot sounds ridiculous, but I am being so serious about it.

    Summary

    Superman’s hands came up in a pacifying gesture as he let himself drop to the rooftop with deliberate slowness, boots touching down in a muted thud.

    “We didn’t mean to scare you–”

    A sharp, brief trill cut him off—a sound that was more bird than anything else.

    You did not scare me.

    It had been instinct. The ingrained habit of using the family’s covert calls whenever the suit was on. And the moment the sound left him, Batman was profoundly grateful for the cowl hiding his face.

     
    Or
    The Justice League goes to invite Batman to join the team but because of Bruce's inability to socialize like a normal human being, he led the Justice League to think he was a bat creature.

    Summary

    Tommy has monsters under his bed, turns around that those monsters might be more family than anyone else.

    ...

    Tommy stared into its eyes, soft, honey brown with something hypnotising in them—a dangerous, red swirl. It was tall, really tall, with black horns decorating its messy chocolate brown curls, phantom wings tucked underneath his shirt behind it. It had gray-ish, fair skin with a soft tint of brown—just enough to where it could pass as human.

    ”Hi,” Tommy whispered barely.

    ”Hello.” The creature let out a breathy chuckle, “Who did this to you, darling?”

    ”You’ll hurt them,” Tommy breathed.

    ”You’re right.” The creature agreed.

    Summary

    Getting hit by a tram should have killed her.
    Instead, Runa wakes up on a frozen island somewhere deep in the New World with no way home, no idea where she is, and the uncomfortable realization that something on the island is watching her.
    Years later, stories begin spreading across the Grand Line about a pale girl with slitted blue-gold eyes, and three massive snow leopards following at her heels.
    Nobody seems entirely sure what she is.

    Summary

    Here’s the thing; Clark trusted Batman. He did! They got along quite well, actually, it’s basically impossible not to after experiencing multiple world-ending scenarios and getting trapped on alien planets together.

    It’s just… well.

    “It isn’t weird that he just. Showed up one day?"

    (This is a what-if, noncanon addition to my Demon Bats series)

    Summary

    Izuku isn’t considered normal by anyone's standards. He’s been this way since he was born. Children are always a bit of a wildcard–they say silly or strange things and sometimes see things that aren’t there–things adults usually write off. Despite all kids being naturally odd, some still get singled out and ostracized by their peers or adults. Izuku is no exception. He’s the freak always talking about a door–like there’s not millions of them–but his doors are different. They’re something people can’t quite make sense of.

    Or

    In which Izuku is kinda weird and unnerving to others. His own mother doesn’t even like to be around him. He’s quirkless and more than fine with that. He doesn’t want to be a hero anyway. The only thing that gives him comfort in a world he doesn’t understand is a supposedly impossible door and the space that lies beyond it. Well at least his fascinating childhood friend is there for him.

    Summary

    It had been years since they saw each other. Velma left first, and then one after another, they followed their own dreams.

    But years later, another mystery, in the form of a dead body sitting in the morgue, brings them back together. And while they know how to handle the mystery, handling each other requires an entire skill set they have all ignored since the end of high school.

    Guilt-ridden glances and poorly executed reconnection dances between them. But hope does, too. Hope that they can find each other again, amongst the unnerving clues, melting reluctance, and the things that listen from the trees.

    Summary

    Janet Drake was a storyteller.

    She loved narrating different tales to Tim. Every night without fail, before little Tim went to bed, she would tell him a story. Tim loved hearing all of them, they took him to places he could never imagine. He loved every single story that spilled from his mom's lips. 

    Except for The Adventures of The Naughty Boy Who Had No Name.

    Whenever Tim misbehaved, Janet would make him sit down on his knees, then she would sit in front of him, sometimes on a chair, sometimes on the floor, and she would tell him stories of a boy who was a bad child.

    A boy who never listened to his parents. A boy who was arrogant and selfish. And in every story, the boy always ended up dead.

    Tim was smart. He knew when the stories were about him. 

    Janet always loved visuals. She described in detailed length the many different ways the boy died. Gruesome, painful, disgusting ways. 

    Janet was an excellent storyteller. And Tim was afraid of those stories coming to life.

    Summary

    The Justice League has never met Batman.

    Gotham is treated like an isolated anomaly — a city handled by “local vigilantes” no one fully understands. Heroes avoid it. Villains fear it. Surveillance fails constantly.

    Then a dangerous metahuman escapes League custody and flees into Gotham.

    The League follows.

    And discovers why nobody enters Gotham twice willingly.

    Summary

    Jaemin scoffs and removes her face from her girlfriend's neck to look at her. “Why are you talking about him when I’m right here? See, this is the problem, you barely give me attention nowadays.”

    Donghyuck would argue that focusing her attention on the bloody dead man on the floor is perfectly reasonable, but she fears the reaction Jaemin would have if she says this so instead she sighs with a smile on her face and kisses her lips. “Let’s have dinner then. Should we go out to eat?”

    or; Donghyuck loves her girlfriend

    Summary

    Kryptonians don't have daemons; it's not that they don't have souls, not at all. It's just another curious human thing, intriguing and different.

    So that's probably why they send Clark to go face whatever supposed daemonic monster is haunting the streets of Gotham City.

    Summary

    Bruce makes the Justice League believe he has two hearts and is a manifestation of Gotham’s night to throw them off his secret identity, not trusting them. When the sound system breaks, he doesn’t come clean, but lies instead that he split into two to make Robin. From there it spirals as all the Robins make the lies grow and twist it in their own ways, until the truth comes out.

    Summary

    " “You know, considering how easy it was to get the League to believe that B had carried and had babies, how likely is it that we can get them to believe that he’s pregnant.”

    By the mischievous looks that surrounded the table, Bruce knew that there was no stopping his mighty and stubborn army. And if you couldn’t beat them… "

    Summary

    There should have been nothing remarkable about two people in a busy cafeteria, but Becket takes in the familiar sight of curly hair, brown eyes, and a t-shirt with a science pun on it talking animatedly alongside Actual Anthony Edward Stark and promptly drops his lunch.

    He gapes for a solid second, seeing but not believing. It definitely doesn’t look like Mr. Stark is forcing the kid to leave, or firing him, or escorting him to security given the relaxed smiles on both of their faces. If anything, Becket thinks Mr. Stark looks rather proud.

    “So, uh, Mr. Stark definitely knows Roomba-Kid,” Becket says and discreetly tilts his head in the direction of the pair.

    “Oh my god,” Jess says. She almost sounds gleeful. “Oh my god, he’s not just some random kid. He’s Mr. Stark’s kid.”

    or: the interns at Stark Industries have some questions about Peter Parker. The answers aren’t quite what they expect.

    Summary

    . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ ᨒ↟
    “List to the wind blow, down comes the night
    Run in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies
    Break the silence - damn the dark, damn the light"

    The headlights catch the pale trunks of the trees as Zoro rounds the bend in the pitch of the night.
    Static clings to the pitch of the song on the radio, and Zoro keeps one hand on the steering wheel as he adjusts the knob to soothe it. The green flash of a mile marker reminds him that his stop is nearing.
    The windows are cracked, and the scent of pine wisps into the truck cab. The brackish scent of lakewater follows closely behind, the cold mineral scent of deep water seeping into the air.
    Zoro’s wedding ring glints as the headlights reflect on the sign for the trailhead. Gravel crunches beneath the tires as he turns off the road.
    He parks askew in the lot and the gears clunk as he jerks the driveshaft into park.
