Summary
He opens his eyes, and stares up at the canopy of the four poster bed he's in. It takes a second, his vision is a bit blurry, but it clears up quick enough.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.
Part of Jason keeps the count going, while the rest of him kind of just...seizes. Because he knows this canopy. He knows the the posts it's attached to. He—fuck—he knows the notch in the bottom left post he'd put in it when he'd stolen one of Bruce's batarangs when he was twelve and thrown it around like the stupid kid he'd been.
This was Jason's room.
Or, the one where Jason gets zapped with magic, wakes up in his teenage body, and decides to let the timeline know exactly how fucked it is. He also becomes the president of the Tim Drake Appreciation Club.

Bookmarker's Notes
That Jason could never decide what pissed him off more. That you gave someone else his role, both as Robin and your son...or that you dared to put another boy in that kind of danger after he was killed.
----
In Hood's mind, that was it. You chose Joker and your morality over your son again, and turned your back on him while people like Two Face and Joker and Ra's get a million chances to repent and reform that they're never gonna take.
-----
Damian's always seemed older than he actually is. No matter how small his body is, the moment you look into his eyes you see the weight of years he hasn't yet lived; the weight of everything that happens while growing up an al Ghul. That weight tempered Damian into steel. And when you look at that steel, when you see the almost preternaturally self-reliant kid standing in front of you, it's all too easy to forget that weight comes from years of abuse. Because Damian is a kid. And while it's not fair to him to only see him as an abused kid, it's just as unfair to only see him as the thing Talia tried to create; the weapon in her ongoing war/insanely unhealthy obsession with Bruce. Damian is all of that, and so much more. -

Bookmarker's Notes
Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.
Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.
It was a relief, then, when some random New Yorker was thrown into his living room through a portal straight out of some LSD daydream.
Finally, something interesting to deal with.
Cue some wild family misunderstandings, criminal conspiracies and cults.
Because there’s always a goddamn cult.

Summary
In a world of normal soulmate markers, where everyone has a countdown on their wrist to when they will find their soulmate or else they die, James "Bucky" Barnes has one that constantly jumps all over time and has never run normally in the almost 100 years he's been alive. And now it's stuck.
Meanwhile, Clara Oswald's has run strangely her entire life, and even though she's no longer in her home universe hers is still counting down. It hadn't made sense to the Doctor in her home universe and it doesn't make sense to her or Ashildr in this new universe. She expected it to disappear, but it's simply counting down to her inevitable demise. And every effort she makes to get to the time and place where she'll meet her soulmate or die, her TARDIS stops her.
Despite it all, fate has it ways to make these two meet...even if it takes a TARDIS and the Avengers to make it happen.

Summary
Tim Drake discovers that sometimes family is the hodgepodge gang of vigilantes and teenage superheroes from another universe that collectively decides to adopt you.
Or, with the power of hand wavy multiverse travel, a tired and beaten down comics!Tim winds up in the Young Justice cartoon universe.
Or, I have an incredibly niche obsession with this trope and will populate it myself if need be.
