Summary
Gaius hum noncommittally, “I think perhaps it’s time we had a proper discussion about your heritage.”
He blinks. When Gaius spoke about his familial ties, he was either gleeful recalling his youth with his sister or remarking mysteriously about his nature as Emrys and his responsibility to the magical community.
He tries for the first option, “Mum?”
A shake of the head indicates no.
“…the inherent cosmic-shattering nature of my general and unfortunate existence?”
A scowl indicates annoyance.
“What then?”
The physician harrumphs and gives up on mixing things in vials, “Your father was a dragonlord.”
Merlin and Balinor get to know each other for longer than an hour.

Summary
Reality shattered like broken glass. The firmament that separated the real world from the eldritch beyond had broken. Two timelines had collided in the center of the street—an incongruous synthesis of two different chains of events. A building collapsed, and it did not. An explosion devastated the surroundings, and it did not. Screaming faces and laughs of joy overlapped each other as if viewed through a kaleidoscopic prism.
The crowd looked on in horror and awe. Who was responsible for tearing apart the fabric of reality?
Izuku groaned. Great, another merge conflict, he thought. What a pain.
Midoriya Izuku’s quirk is Git, the distributed version control system designed to track changes in source code and resolve conflicts in nonlinear development workflows.
Yes, I’m dead fucking serious.

Summary
Tim knew, from the moment he stepped into a dead boy's suit, that things wouldn't end well.
Except…
There's something different about drowning alone. About falling off a cliff into an icy ocean and knowing that no one's going to save you – not because they couldn't make it in time, but because they didn't even notice you were gone.
***
OR; A shit ton of Tim Drake whump, dubious blood magic, deadly mermaid-esque water spirits, morally grey Tim, Batfam feels, and as many little head cannons as I could feasibly fit in one fic. NOTE: This is NOT a major character death story… (at least, not a traditional one). Major content warnings are tagged, and additional warnings are included in chapter summaries.

Summary
“A-Yuan! A-Yuan!”
Lan Sizhui sputters and nearly trips over the flat ground he’s walking on next to Lan Jingyi when he hears his name shouted from behind them. No one ever calls him A-Yuan anymore, not since he was a child, they must be talking to someone else.
“Sizhui! My darling, my child, my little radish, wait!”
Lan Jingyi looks between his best friend’s almost undetectably alarmed face and the young man yelling and stumbling as he runs up to them. He’s slight and handsome, and breaking multiple sect rules at the same time.Or: Wei Wuxian’s new invention works, mostly.

Summary
As it goes, eyes are the most sinful sense. Next is mouth which spouted out many insults and abuse.
How different would it be if only Shen Jiu never saw Luo Binghe? Never get to project his envy and hatred after what he had seen?
In which, Shen Jiu was blind.

There are pictures of Batman and Robin on the camera he was carrying. A lot of pictures.
They don’t call his parents. They call Black Mask.

or: the one where Black Mask kidnaps Tim and tries to groom him into a ruthless heir, and Tim tries to figure out how to destroy him from the inside out.General warnings tagged, anything not covered by those is in end-of-chapter notes to avoid spoilers.
