Summary
Steve had a bad feeling, and this wasn't the first time it had happened.
For as long as he could remember, he had always had hunches. Hunches about events that hadn't even happened yet but warned him before the shoe could drop. He was used to them. To the bad omens. To the anxiety they brought.
Maybe, that's why he was as tense as a coiled spring when they entered Hawkins Lab, as gray as decayed as the rest of the Upside Down. But not even a hunch could have prepared him for what happened that day. He couldn't have braced himself for the party splitting up. He couldn't have braced himself for an argument with Dustin, much less the boy's violent reaction at him bringing Eddie into the conversation.
He couldn't have expected to crack his head open into the ground, nor the world that waited for him when he opened his eyes once again. Neither the spider that bit him, or the powers that would later bring him.
And when this peculiar world welcomed him, he couldn't help but wonder.
Was that Munson? In a big sign? Wearing a hero-like costume?
And why on Earth was he blond?

Summary
Arryn Enderson is the son of a country Baron, the good Baron Weiss. He's brash and violent, but it’s fine because he's not the heir.
[...]
Arryn Enderson was the son of the former Baron Weiss. The family was accused of illegal dealings with a rival nation and fell to ruin. Arryn learned a lot of things, things he'd rather not learn, continuing to live in some form until, abruptly, the world ended.Riél d'Solis was born to shine, but the world had other plans.
The world creates beautiful things only to destroy them. If that’s so, then perhaps, if I destroy this terrible world, a more beautiful one will come in its stead?
The divine fires of the God of Flame's incarnate consumed the world, and reduced all to ash.
In the wreckage, when he heard the toll of a Divine Oracle, even Arryn, this bitter cynic, couldn't help but make a wish.
“…I don’t want everything to end like this.”A second chance, and this time, he'll do it right. He'll quietly protect his family, and just send some ominous letters to powerful people...
Wait, why are you piling fortune teller skills on me? And what the hell is a “System”?—inspired by TCF, ORV, and tGED

Summary
Tim Drake never actually wanted to become part of the Robin-Batman-vigilante outfit. No, really. But the last Robin up and died, and now Batman is going crazy, and no one else is doing anything about it, so...Tim decides to become Robin. He might as well, right? At the very least it'll give him something to do while his parents are gone.
Still, Tim's not taking up the mantle until he can put a couple of things in order. Step one? Making sure the Joker can't get it into his head to kill another Robin. Not ever again. (Good thing Tim's not the one with a 'no killing' rule.)
And then after that? Well, after that it's only just a matter of keeping Batman from learning Tim's identity and subsequently chasing him off. Not until Bruce can get back on his feet and pick a new Robin, a real one this time. Easy-peasy.
Sort of.

Summary
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.
