Summary
Many thanks to Ari & Ciss who are helping me a TON. Based on a Tumblr post I can't find.
-
Tim Drake is assigned to investigate a ghost cult. Not a big deal, really, until you consider he's sent with Damian Wayne, an assasin who tried to kill him less than a year ago who he is expected to befriend because they're "brothers".
What follows is as much as a mystery as a romance for Tim, and Damian, Dick, and Bruce finally learn actions have consequences- and they can't make Tim fix everything.
-
"Two lives are too many. I can return one of you- but you must choose."
The abnormally grainy footage didn't allow lip reading, but body language transmitted well. There was Tim stepping forward, and Damian- he said something, had to from the way Tim bent in pain. There was a back and forth between the two before Tim took another step to the king.
"Some heroes," the king said, "I see only one here. I'll return you, as promised."
To Tim, he said, "a hero was sacrificed, so I must accept.""I want to know what was said between Damian and Tim," Bruce said, "and how to get Tim out. I need you to focus on finding any way to get to him without sacrificing someone."

Summary
“I don’t understand,” he says, and his arms are wrapped around himself now, as if he is cold. They are in Hebra, yes, but he can’t help but feel as if the cold has nothing to do with how he is beginning to shiver.
“What do you mean you don’t understand?” Revali demands, turning back to him, his glare even deeper on his face than before. “I’ve expressed myself clearly to you many times before - it is no fault of mine that you see yourself as better than I simply because of the sword on your back. Surely you cannot blame me for cutting my losses here - I’ve wasted enough time on you as it is.”
“I-I don’t understand,” Link repeats, because for once, he truly doesn’t know how it was that he didn’t please this individual. He thought he understood, before, but Revali has grown more and more upset, and Link simply does not understand what he has done wrong to cause this.
He wants to fix this.
It is the first time in his life he can ever truly remember wanting something.
It is as his vision begins to blur (he doesn't know why) that Revali’s expression shifts.
“Oh,” the Rito says, and suddenly, his face is no longer stuck in a glare, but in horror, and a deep, deep sadness in his eyes. “Oh, no.”Series

Summary
Daniel Fenton may be dead, but he wasn’t suicidal. Unfortunately, avoiding Batman and his vigilantes get a lot harder when he’s stuck in a seven year olds body in Gotham.
Clockwork so owes him for this.
—
In which Danny Fenton fixes a broken family, grows a bit as a person, and makes another technically-dead friend. Not exactly in that order.

Summary
"Well, Wild? This is your Hyrule. Have you figured out why we're here?" Time asked.
"Yeah." Wild swallowed thickly, forcing bile down his throat.
"Well?" Legend raised an impatient eyebrow, and Wild turned away. How was he going to explain this? He'd told them virtually nothing of his journey. How was he supposed to convey how terrible this situation was? That the Blights had been revived.
"Come on. We're heading towards Zora's Domain."A gang-meets-Wild fic with an actual plot (I think). Featuring a Wild who's a tad more secretive about his journey.
Linked Universe belongs to Jojo, and I'm just a fan. :3

Summary
You're an engineer who works for Ebott's best research facility in one of the labs; your lifelong dream after finding a journal on Mount Ebott when you were a kid. When you aren't in the lab being smart, you're gathering materials at the abandoned doll factory for the machine you're trying to build.
But one night, you meet a skeleton at the factory. Naturally, you lie about why you're there and say you're there to hunt ghosts. You befriend him and try to find a way to gather the materials while keeping up with that lie. But those lies catch up to you when you start to meet all the other skeletons.
Edit: As of Chapter 29, all chapters have been edited and fixed slightly!

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.
*rating changed to mature due to gore and swearing TWs are in the chapter notes*
