Bookshelf for Sleepless Nights
Stories that kept me up an entire Friday and/or Saturday night reading. Some of them kept me up on Sunday night too, even though I had work the next day.
Totally worth it, though.

Summary
Look, I’ll be the first to admit that I had never much bought into the whole pearly gates or eternal damnation business. I couldn’t tell you what I was expecting of the afterlife - but it sure as hell wasn't this.
Moody glowered. "What is with you today?"
I grinned back at him. Oh, you have no idea.
You died, the first time, on a random thursday afternoon. Waking up in the body of a young - and very much alive - Moaning Myrtle, you couldn't quite believe your luck. But alas, no rest for the newly deceased. There is work to be done. Between stopping Tom Riddle from opening the Chamber of Secrets, evading the Knights of Walpurgis, and figuring out just why Olive Hornby hates you so much, you’ve got a very busy afterlife.

Summary
“Dick…”
Right. He needed to focus.
“Little Wing?” Dick’s tone lost the harshness to it, as if sensing that Jason was teetering on the edge. He could always tell when Jason needed the grounding. He always knew. Could feel it from a mile away.
“Dick, I think…I think you have a son.”He closed his eyes, surrendering to the darkness. He forced his heartbeat to slow, and an eerie calmness washed over his thoughts. The last image that flickered through his mind was Aunt May’s lifeless eyes.
Peter hoped he wouldn’t wake up again.

Summary
Wherein transmigration occurs, but not everybody gets to start out as a baby. ANBU Dog is also, by far, the worst captain ever, and Kagura very much does not recommend working with him because he’s a loony piece of shit.
A gripping tale of ANBU shenanigans, disturbing romances, and excessive gore. Highly self indulgent.

Summary
After making a stupid deal with the devil, Eleri Winchester winds up in Hell (typical Winchester behaviour, right?). Years go by, and she spirals deeper and deeper into madness until one day, Eleri finds herself thrown into a different Hell—high school. But this isn't just any high school, it's one that she recognizes from a book series she had read countless times.
She was in Twilight, specifically, New Moon.
Not knowing what to make of her strange fate, Eleri attempts to adapt to her new reality, or more accurately, the world of Twilight tries to adapt to her.
This story follows Eleri as she stampedes through the Twilight series fighting to keep her secrets hidden from suspicious vampires, a pack of wolves, and a nosy human, while also trying to find a way to forget Hell and keep her dwindling humanity from disappearing entirely. Will she find help from someone who is going through a similar struggle or is her soul beyond redemption? Read to find out.

Summary
“I want him,” Draco declared.
“Very well. Go on now, Draco; spend your last day of freedom playing. Your lessons will start again tomorrow.”
Draco beamed at them, and both of his parents were… startled. It had been quite some time since Draco had seemed so genuinely delighted by anything.
“Thank you! Tomorrow, then. Merlin, I can’t wait!”
With that, he scampered off, leaving Lucius and Narcissa to speak to Kenobi, and make the last of the arrangements to institute Obi-Wan Kenobi as their child’s tutor.

Malfoy Manor holds many Dark artifacts, and many secrets. Why there is a Sith artifact in their residence, on a world the Sith should have never been able to visit, is a question Obi-Wan would very much like to know the answer to. But, first, he'd like even more to figure out how to get back where he should be. Until then, at least he has a few of his men with him, and another nine-year-old from an unconventional background to train...

Made anonymous as I can no longer support JKR. This is a gift so won't be deleted, but I won't be interacting with this fandom anymore due to its creator's harmful stances.

Summary
Bella knew what her life would be like if she turned around and got back on the plane to Arizona. She knew her mother and her moods and how far the woman could go. Charlie was the unknown. And what was that saying about the monster you know versus the one you don't? Didn't end well for the prey in either scenario.

Summary
Danny Fenton is not okay. TM.
Honestly? Just overall bad vibes.
But he's doing his best. Making it work. And trying not to become fully dead in the process.The Justice League is very concerned. But it's actually their fault they got involved so take that one, Batman.
John Constantine told them not to do the thing. They did it anyway.Or, Danny gets summoned by the League, and he actually kind of adopts them in the process. Because these big city heroes don't know anything about ghosts and who is he if he doesn't help them out? Besides, the Watchtower is in space. Danny's always wanted to go to space...
(I'm not really following any specific JL timeline, so like. Be prepared for 98% of everything to be *made up* and possibly *not real*.)
