    Summary

    You leave a disgruntled letter on your mailbox, publicly shaming the man in the apartment below yours for his incredibly loud sexual encounters. Never, ever, did you think he’d have the audacity to actually respond.

    Your world is everything his isn't: Academics, PhD programs, and quirkless normalcy.
    His world is everything yours isn't: Villains, hero-work, and constant danger.

    Is there any way you can form a bridge, between yourself and Japan's #2 pro-hero? And once it's built, is there any way for you to cross it?

    All's fair in love and war, but... is this love, or war?

    Maybe a bit of both.

    Summary

    Waking up two years before their adventure even began was a surprise. The Straw Hats have to find each other again and make their way back to the New World and their dreams. Dealing with younger, weaker bodies and the weight of future knowledge they will find it's not as easy as a simple do-over. Every change has an effect on themselves and on the world.
    This story will quickly diverge from cannon. It will mix up, move around and ignore entire arcs. These guys are not looking for a boring adventure when they already have answers. What's the point in doing it all the same?

    Summary

    John Constantine was tracking unusual spikes of Death Magic all around the world, but every bloody time, he was too late to catch anyone. After two months of trying to track them down on his own, he then, against his better judgment, asked for help from Zatanna. After another month of no progress and Zatanna being needed elsewhere, he finally threw in the metaphorical towel and asked for help from the Big Bat himself.

    Now, he’s in a plane, flying to who knows where, with the Big Bat and the rest of his colony. Deep inside, Constantine knew this was going to be trouble.
    ---
    Danny was living a good life. His parents still love him, even if it took a while for him and Jazz to convince them there was nothing to fix, his grades were slowly being brought back up, and he came to peace with the fact that he was going to be the Ghost King.

    Since he was still young , he was only the heir and, therefore, had fewer duties to do.

    As the heir, Danny's favourite duty is helping lost souls move on to the afterlife.

    The big guy, a revenant with guns and thighs who arrived during the send-off, looking at Danny like he hung the moon and stars, is a nice bonus.

    Summary

    He usually kept it covered. Whether it be with long sleeves, a cuff of some sort, or make up Natasha skillfully showed him how to apply.

    He didn’t cover it up because he was ashamed or because he was one of those people who didn’t like others knowing who his soulmate was- no. He covered it up out of respect. Respect for his fallen partner, and respect for himself because he knew looking at those swoopy lines of James B. Barnes on his wrist always made him crumble like his legs were kicked down.

    When he crashed into the ice all those years ago he thought he was going to see Bucky again- he thought he was finally going to be with Bucky without people giving them ugly looks and throwing slurs their way.

    He thought he was going to be happy again.

    (Or: The soulmate AU where Steve and Bucky are soulmates, Bucky fell, Steve hurts, they meet again like men through time, there's lots of hugging, and Bucky wants his tattoo back. )

    Summary

    It's said that every soul is connected to another by a red thread, and that these two souls are destined to meet. The thread, though it may tangle or stretch, will never break. That's not your experience, lucky or unlucky enough as you are to see the strings that bind people together. A red thread is developed and grown, not born, and you've worked hard to weed out any semblance of crimson that might cling to you. You pay your bills, you keep your head down, and you find whatever lost people or items you're hired to sniff out.

    Then the Devil of Hell's Kitchen tags along on a job, and your plan falls apart.

     

    Starts prior to Into the Ring, and loosely follows the canon timeline. There is eventually smut, so enter at your peril. Reader is never physically described but uses a false name and may be treated as an OC.
