Summary
The hardest part is the setup. It takes a lot of finesse and dozens of emails, but eventually Danny sets up an art exchange. It’s much like the pen-pal project but instead, it’s a sketchbook that two promising young artists will mail back and forth.
There’s not exactly a guide on how to contact your long-lost twin who thinks that you’re dead. Of course Danny knows that Damian went to live with Father – it was impossible to miss and Danyal drank in the sight of his brother like an oasis in a desert. He followed every news story he could about his brother and kept a close eye on the Waynes in general. As soon as his brother had social media, he’d followed those too.
But watching from a distance wasn’t enough. It’s a risk driven by sentimentality and longing, years of expecting another person next to him like a binary star system only to find again and again that he was drifting alone. Still… Damian had been with Father for nearly three years and had settled into life outside of the League, just like Danyal had.
Maybe… if they’re very subtle… maybe he can have his brother back. Just a little.

Summary
Danny is figuring out this super hero thing one step at a time and with so many heroes around, surely someone would be open to having a ghostly apprentice - or at least show him the ropes. But maybe what he's really looking for is someone to relate to and maybe Red Hood isn't the safest choice, but there's very credible rumors that he's died before...
Jason just wants to lock this wannabe vigilante in one of his safehouses and make sure nothing finishes the job of killing him. But maybe a snarky teenager that deals with his own death way better than he did is just what he was missing...

Summary
Izuku gets hit by a quirk that drags him into his worst memory. While Izuku tries to figure out what's going on, Toga see an opportunity for recruitment. And to be friends with the cute green bean that keeps breaking his arms, obviously.
"Izuku took the pause in the conversation to actually think over the huge info dump his friend (he had a friend!) had given him. So they were part of a group, vigilantes at best, villain at worst, that was fighting against corrupt heroes.
But would Izuku really turn that far from being a hero? It was all he’d ever wanted!
'It’s good to have dreams, kid. Just make sure they’re realistic.'
Izuku grimaced. With a year to think over everything All Might said and a friend who didn’t care he was quirkless talking about reforming society… He could see how he got here."
Meanwhile: Touya, hit with the same quirk, knows that the League is lying to the kid and struggles with his own morality as he questions this 'Dabi' he becomes. His hero boyfriend doesn't help.

Summary
Tokoyami walked into Hawks office to bid him goodnight (and advise him to sleep as well) when he stopped dead in his tracks. His heart skipped a beat before pounding double time.
His mentor was sleeping peacefully on the couch, facing the back with his wings slumped towards the floor. Being used as a lap pillow and gently running his hand through the number two hero's hair, was Dabi.

Summary
Her height was wrong, she looked younger than he remembered, and her hair was too long, but as he looked at her face he knew she was unmistakably-
‘’Robin’’ he said, not realising he had opened his mouth until the name was already out.
Robin turned her face towards him, a recognition that shouldn’t be there flashing through her blue eyes.
He knew they weren’t supposed to meet yet, but the fact that he found her here, in a place he had never heard of from her, gave him hope, hope that he wasn’t alone. But he had to make sure, so he opened his mouth and in perfect Russian recited-‘’A trip to China sounds nice”
“if you tread lightly.’’
.
Steve Harrington never understood loneliness until he was stuck five years in the past with nothing but a whole lot of trauma, insomnia, and a stupid fear of flickering lights. But still, alone or not he had the perfect opportunity to change what happened. To make sure none of his shitty kids has to sleep with the lights one because of the monsters they know are real. He could save Barb, he could save Bob, he could save- Billy.
And maybe, just maybe, Steve isn't as alone as he first thought.- Language:

Summary
1987 went to shit. Vecna brought on what may well be the apocalypse, and Steve fought it to the end. Literally.
Death was supposed to be a one-way street. But knowing a girl with super powers had a tendency to change the game. So when Steve opens his eyes to a beer-soaked bathroom on Halloween in 1984, Nancy calling him 'bullshit' all over again, the universe might forgive Steve for thinking he was either a) in Hell or b) going cracked. But Steve didn't have time to freakout. Not when El finds him and asks that he help her change the events of the future. Not when he's the only other person she managed to drag with her for chance number two.
OR: A time travel fix-it, where 1987 Steve is dropped back into his 1984 self. And now he has to deal with that plus the impending apocalypse on the horizon. But he'll be fine, right? Because, as El informs whoever asks, Steve's 'The Babysitter'. So he gets to work. He can cry later, when he's done.

Summary
“Can you take us to a late showing of —"
Steve bites his lip, sighing and preparing for inevitable backlash, “I can't, I'm babysitting."
“What!?” Dustin screeches, “How!? You’re not with any Party members?”
“Yeah I’m babysitting other kids.” Steve sighs, looking back at Beth and Annie bickering over one of their teddy bear guests.
“Other kids?! Kids that aren’t us? You’re cheating on us?”
Steve rubs at his temples, “It’s not like I have a secret family Henderson! Calm down.”
“You may as well have!” Dustin retorts something like hurt colouring his tone.
OR How Steve finds a purpose and a family one smartass kid at a time.

Summary
The thing about prophetic dreams is that they’re not nearly as cool as they sound. Sure, it’s nice having a bit of forewarning for when shit’s about to go down, but it also gives you, like, twice as much time to stress about it.
If Nancy was the one dreaming they’d probably have the whole thing fixed in a week and then she’d be on track to being the first female president or something. Unfortunately for everyone, they’re stuck with Steve.
He’s dealing with it about as well as can be expected.
(Especially considering he’s juggling his new babysitting duties, the re-emergence of the Upside Down, whatever the fuck’s going on with Billy Hargrove, and his budding bisexual awakening-slash-crisis.)
(Thank god Robin will be there to help. Eventually.)

I really love the alternate timeline rabbit holes that open up. It's fascinating (And Steve continues to be a suburban mother despite being a teenage boy - classic 😁)
