    When a Bat falls in Love With the Sun (Superbat only) by

    Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types  

    08 Feb 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    After his arrival on earth, Clark has been adopted by the sun spirit. Even if he’s not possessed, he and the spirit share a special bond. Which means Clark doesn’t much like the dark. But when Lex Luthor starts buying up property in Gotham he decides it’s time to pay Metropolis’ gloomy sister city a visit. Gotham has a few surprises in store for him, though. Since there are rumors of Luthor being interested in the old Wayne manor, which is supposed to be abandoned ever since Bruce Wayne died at age 13, Clark begins his investigation there. Only, the manor isn’t as empty as it should be.

    Ever since Bruce has been possessed by the spirit of a Bat at the age of 13 his existence has been a rather lonely one. He’s been declared dead and thanks to his nocturnal lifestyle he’s been confined to the manor, only really able to go out at night. Still, he and his kids have built a life for themselves. Then a certain mid-western journalist comes stumbling directly into the Bat’s lair and suddenly Bruce’s secret is in danger of being discovered. It doesn’t help that the Bat - and himself - are strangely drawn to Clark Kent from the start. Of course that’s when Superman shows up and makes things infinitely more complicated.

    Summary

    At the moment, there is just one fic in this series, but I plan on making others and au's related to both Midroiya Izuku and the general concept of death; whether it be him being dead or him with a death-related quirk. Mainly just a place to store them until I flesh out the au more.

    the boy that wasn't there (so there's no reason you should care) by

    Fandoms: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia (Anime & Manga)  

    21 Jun 2026

    Tags
    Summary

    Izuku Midoriya does not exist. Therefore, neither do answers.
    A green-haired, green-eyed boy keeps showing up anyway, much to the confusion of everyone.
    This is normal. Let the fact that the boy does not exist reaffirm the fact that you exist, and that the other things that don't exist will continue to not exist.
    Don't worry if he shows up again. He wasn't there.

    (Izuku Midoriya is not a story. He is a story's absence. Look for meaning all you would like, but if you manage to fill that hole, know that you will have killed him. If you do, remember not to feel guilt: he was never real in the first place... right?)

    Fandoms: Captain America (Movies)  

    05 Feb 2026

    Tags
    Summary

    “Someone,” Strange says, “is selling cryptid components.” He pauses, and Sam could swear he’s looking at Bucky. “And making a killing doing it. Literally.”

    “Cryptid components?” Natasha asks, leaning forward. “What are those in the context of this mission?”

    Strange shifts his eyes from Bucky to Natasha. “Nascent fishkin scales—” he starts.

    “Fishstick what, now?” Stark interrupts.

    “You would know them as merfolk,” Strange continues, “vampire teeth, chupacabras claws, cockatrice spurs, phoenix feathers, sasquatch fur.” He makes a dismissive motion with one hand. “The list is long and the specifics are immaterial.”

    (Or: Bucky and Sam go undercover as a married couple on a mission to break up a poaching ring that’s attacking cryptids. It’s a great opportunity to learn about the magical community and explore their human-selkie relationship… but can they stand (and protect) their neighbors?)

    The Study Of Batology by

    Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types  

    14 Jun 2026

    Tags
    Summary

    Fanfic of another fanfic, heavily inspired by "Operation: I am Human" by StandingBi.

    The Justice League believes Batman is a cryptid due to his tendency to use bird calls, hisses and grunts rather than words, odd mannerisms and other pieces of evidence that don't help Bruce's case. He struggles to clear the misunderstanding and continues making poor social decisions, which only fuels the fire.

    Chap 1: Hal gets the crazy idea to flash a laser pointing during a Justice League meeting. Bruce believes a sniper has somehow broken into headquarters, and chases after the laser. Everyone gravely misinterprets the situation, believing it to be some sort of instinctual urge. It spirals into something comedic, and entirely avoidable.

    + Various instances of the JL charting Bruce’s poor social skills to an animalistic instinct.

    Summary

    Lightning flashed, lighting up the alley in front of him, revealing mud covered heels. He blinked and looked up, staring unseeingly at the woman standing in front of him. She wore a black evening gown, though the hem was ripped and rotting. The pearls on her necklace were framed and set into what looked like bottlecaps, the delicate chain missing links and replaced with thicker, common steel chain links. Her opera gloves were stained with green sludge and red brown smears on the fingers. Her hair was thick and grimy, whatever style it had once been carefully arranged in mussed and ruined.

    She smirked, lips twitching as she stared at him, as though he weren’t kneeling in a puddle of his parents' blood with their corpses lying beside him.

    “Who…?” His voice was barely audible over the rain as he spoke. She reached forward, hand grasping his chin and tilting his head side to side.

    “I’ll see you again...”

    "My Prince."

    Summary

    Tim Drake died when Robin cut his line. There was no flag pole or ledge to catch himself on. No backup grapple at the ready. Lucky for him, Gotham has never been one to give up her soldiers. Now an undead that is permanently bound to Gotham as her protector, Tim learns the importance of self-worth. And that maybe his "family" isn't what's best for him.

    -or-

    Tim heard Jason joking about being a zombie and said, "hold my beer." Featuring semi-sentient Gotham.

    Summary

    How, exactly, do you tell the Justice League you weren’t a feral cryptid haunting Gotham?

    That single, most ridiculous question had been gnawing at Bruce’s mind for the past week. He could let them believe it—he had certainly let worse rumors fester when it served his purposes—but he couldn’t. He just couldn’t.

    or

    The continuation of Unintentional Cryptid.

    Bruce tries to clear up the small misunderstanding but every single time he interacts with the Justice League, it gets worse
