Summary
El Mayarah. Her family’s motto. Stronger together. But how was she supposed to be stronger together when she was alone?
She was trying. Every day, she tried. She made the effort to get up, to face her life with as much grace as she could. She was one of the last survivors of her people, potentially the last, and she wouldn’t dishonor her people’s memory, her family’s memory, by giving up. She wouldn’t fail her parents, wouldn’t give up until her last promise to them was fulfilled.
Kara Zor-El arrives on an Earth where Superman doesn't exist. Without anyone to intercept her crashed pod, Kara is found and captured by the government. Twelve years later, her last promise to her family remains unfulfilled. Depressed, alone, and in hiding, she runs into a green-eyed scientist looking to redeem her own family name.

His life is peculiar but he wouldn't change a thing. When he gets booked for the big Wayne Halloween party, however, he finds himself getting all tangled up with the Waynes, and the more fortunes he tells, the tighter the snare becomes.or: Tim just wanted to scam Gotham's elite, not end up on the Batfamily's watchlist.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
The shadow is a silhouette on the edge of the roof. She can’t see his eyes behind the blank white lenses of his cowl, but she can feel the cunning weight of his gaze as it rakes over her, a pair of predators recognizing one another. She keeps her posture relaxed. She looks back at him with steady eyes.
She is not prey.
She will not allow the kind boy behind her to be prey either.

Summary
Percy Weasley is not particularly reckless, until he is, once, on the anniversary of his brother's death. For most people, the idea of sending oneself through time to correct one's mistake would remain a fantasy, something to dwell on in the middle of the night, but Percy has always been too capable for his own good.
Featuring: a reluctant spy, an unlikely friendship between a ghost and a lonely student, a portrait, very few friends, several very lengthy conversations about soul magic, and far too many Horcruxes.
(Or, an attempt to answer the question, if someone intelligent was sent back through time, armed only with the word 'Horcrux' and a general knowledge of the main timeline––not to mention a keen understanding of the Hogwarts curriculum––could that person logic his way to defeating the Dark Lord? Only time will tell).
COMPLETE.

Summary
The League’s base is not built to welcome strangers.
Bruce is not a stranger.
He whips around another hidden corner, not bothering to try and silence the snap of his cape. There are no assassins waiting for him.
On the far side of the compound, another explosion echoes dully, Jason fulfilling his role with enthusiasm.
There will be bodies left behind when they leave this place. There is no time to dwell on it - Bruce compartmentalizes. It is easier than it might have been, some other time, some other mission.
He already found the room where Tim was being kept.
