Summary
Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.
His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”
“Indeed,” he hums.
//
(Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)
//
Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.

Summary
There's something deeply sad about being reborn into a person whose most notable traits were sickness and dying. What's the point of new life if it's the whimpering absence thereof that defined Gekkou Hayate's brief presence in canon?
This is bullshit.
(SI into a background character of Naruto who doesn't mean to become important to the plot, yet stumbles into being exactly that anyway.)

Summary
"Hey," Jason says, poking his head in through the door, making sure his body is angled so that there's no way the boy inside will be able to see Bruce.
That's as far as he gets before he falters.
The boy inside the dim-lit cell is tucked as far back into the corner of the cot as he can get, scrawny limbs wrapped around himself like the curled husk of a spider. His teal eyes are locked on Jason, but he doesn't move — not even a flinch.
He's as perfectly frozen as a bird in the brush as a hound sniffs closer.
Jason swallows, his throat abruptly so tight it's hard to breath. He's not sure either of them are.
The boy's eyes flick just a fraction past him, to the open cave beyond. One of them is surrounded by a dark bruise.
Jason steps cautiously into the cell, closing the door behind him, and watches his own eyes dim as his escape route closes.

Summary
"Keith..."
"Lance can't be dead," he insisted, sounding petulant even to himself. "He lives on a farm, for heaven's sake. Why would anyone want to kill him? It makes no sense. There must be a mistake. Shiro..."
"I'm sorry, Keith." his brother's reply froze him. "But there is no mistake. Hunk and I arrived too late."
The words crashed into him like a tsunami, leaving him reeling and gasping for air. "No," he whispered, shaking his head. "It can't be possible. If it were true..."If that was true, when Lance called him, there was an attack going on and he was in danger, and he had called the first person who was supposed to help him. Except Keith hung up, ignoring him and telling him...
Keith put his hand to his mouth, holding back a gasp of horror.
The last things he had said to Lance was to call Hunk and not bother him.
*
Lance is killed during an attack by a pro-Empire faction, and Keith is forced to deal with long-repressed feelings and a life without Lance.

Summary
Penny Parker feels the Avengers and the Accords closing in on her even when she’s not wearing the Spider-Man suit, so she lawyers up in advance.
It’s just her luck that the Avengers are convinced they can lure in the notoriously evasive Spider-Man by using his photographer girlfriend as bait.
Nelson & Murdock (and, from afar, Deadpool) object to that.

Summary
"I'm hallucinating now," Damian muttered to himself, as the boy stared at him, uncertainly, "Mhm, pretty sure I'm not a hallucination."
"That's what a hallucination would say, Richard," he said, knowing he sounded petulant. Whatever the Galra had given him to keep him quiet, it was stronger than many of the drugs he had become accustomed to during his training with the League of Assassins.
It was only for this reason that he risked falling forward. Fortunately for him, he was promptly grabbed by the boy. It was a strong, solid grip, and definitely not a hallucination.
Damian looked up, meeting eyes that reminded him of a dead man, and the other said, "You confused me with another person. My name is not Richard. It's Lance."
(During his imprisonment on an alien ship, after sacrificing himself to save Earth, Damian meets a boy who reminds him terribly of his dead brother. He can't be who he believes, but the resemblance is striking, and Damian just wants to believe that something left by Dick Grayson still exists.)

Summary
“Luka,” Heperu says, “meet Luka.”
“Hi Luka,” the Luka looking at Luka says, with a small wave, and a smaller, sardonic smile. “I’ve been told I am going to die in seventy two hours.”
Well, that changes things. That Luka can be luka, he thinks, but I'm LUKA. LUKA doesn’t reply directly to luka, because any Luka that is about to die is not an important thing to pay attention to. Instead, LUKA looks to Heperu: “Which one of us is more original?”
“That,” Heperu smiles, “is for me to know, and you to wonder.”
