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.

Summary
Red Hood died when the Dimensional Transporter exploded, snarling in the face of the Regime. Several dimensions away Izuku Midoriya woke up with skills he didn’t remember learning, memories that definitely weren’t his, and half an answer to the question that had plagued him all his life: can someone without a Quirk be a hero?

Summary
'Peter is beginning to realize what all of the other heroes mean when they say he shouldn't operate purely on instinct. In a moment of fear with all eyes on him, enemy and ally alike, Peter pulls up his mask and tosses the stone into his mouth.
No hesitation, he swallows it whole.
It's kind of like eating a slightly larger, slightly orange-r, very hard grape. Okay, so maybe not like a grape at all but grapes are on his mind because of the Mad Titan's resemblance. He feels the stares turn from worried to incredulous.
Spider-Man's mask is still up, so he sticks out his tongue the way he would to prove he actually took his pills to his aunt, "All gone."
Peter doesn't have time to worry about the repercussions when Thanos angrily snaps anyways.''
Spider-Man eats the Soul Stone. It goes about as well as you'd think.

If You Give a Bat a Burger by Cielle_Noire

Summary
Strange things are going on in Gotham: A series of crimes linked only by a sentence uttered. A drug that no one seems to be selling, but lots of people are taking. An old enemy reborn, or someone pretending to be him. Graffiti that can't be photographed by normal means. Bartenders disappearing without a trace. John Constantine is also there.
Danny wants nothing to do with any of it. He just wants to sell burgers and survive. Actually, he'd like to go home again, but since that isn't possible, he'll stick with burgers.
Gotham's vigilante's have other plans.
This is why Danny doesn't do favors.

Summary
It's the MCU, reimagined with a nosy, genius college student Peter Parker.
(All can technically be read as stand-alones, but do still build off of each other quite a lot-- like the real MCU!)
