    Summary

    “Hey Steve, this is Jack Murphy, our other neighbor. Jack, this is Steve.” Steve looked at Sam a little wildly, expecting to see—he didn’t even know, but some reaction other than Sam’s usual easy friendliness. And there was something there, but it was just the twitch of Sam’s mouth that said he found something hilarious and he was trying not to show it. Was this Sam’s idea of a joke, or a prank? Because this guy—behind the glasses and mustache, Steve could have sworn—well, he looked like Bucky.

    "they're gonna send us to prison for jerks" by napricot

    A lightly crack-y premise for a not-actually-hidden identity fic, featuring a Clark-Kent level disguise and two pining fools (Bucky's side of it is shown in the next fic in the series, as a flashback (chapter 10)).
    The Winter Soldier teaches math in Cleveland.

    Summary

    Magic is always a pain. Superman might temporarily be a toddler, but the League's knows they've gotten off easy this time: everyone's in the proper dimension, there's no annoying entity trying to teach them a lesson, and the de-aging spell should wear off without any weird consequences in less than a fortnight. Babysitting duty gets ten times more adorable with the purchase of a Justice League plushie set. Now Clark can continue his heroic adventures with his friends: fighting crime, spreading justice, and... beheading Batman?

    It's gotta be a fluke. Right? Right.

    Accidents can happen twice in a row-- no, three, four?-- times. Though probably not by the twenty second. It's definitely intentional by the thirtieth time. Probably.

    What the hell, Clark? We thought you were friends.

    "Lugubrious Alarmism" by Briarwitched

    De-aged Superman plays heroes with plushie versions of his friends and a scaled down realism... that sets off concerns for everyone. Cute lightly crack fic.

    Summary

    Jason comes back to Gotham to clip the new birdie’s wings and teach Batman a lesson only for the Bats to get a good glimpse at his soulmark during one of their run ins. Now they know the Red Hood is the resurrected Jason Todd…wait why are they calling him Roy? What??? Confused, Jason looks up the guy they think he is and. Fuck. That’s his soulmark!

    The Bats are trying to take down the Red Hood but after a fated encounter and some investigation, they have a new idea. Since he was Jason’s soulmate, maybe Hood isn’t all that bad and they can get him to join their side.

    "Roy Harper’s Very Weird Month" by The_stars_ship_us

    A crack-y JayRoy soulmark fic (where the soulmark is the inciting element for a mistaken identity, but not otherwise leaned into much) that subverts the Under The Red Hood arc. Bats bond over bird names, the Riddler and sharks help with family reconciliation, and Bathound is the world's greatest detective.

    Summary

    There’s dirt in his mouth, his eyes, his nose, his fucking ears. There’s entire ecosystems underneath his fingernails, digging into his body and taking him over, filling him up with dirt until there’s nothing of him left. He can’t feel anything– he can feel everything. His lungs squeezing with each minute that he goes without air, his broken and bloody nails screaming in pain as he claws through the dirt. His muscles are so tired, begging for him to just take a break, stop for a moment and rest, but he can’t, he can’t go back– he needs– he needs his dad. He needs to see him, to be back with his family, to have them hold him and take care of him and tell him that everything will be okay.

    or,

    Jason comes back completely sane, and his first task is to find his family. Too bad they dont seem to like that.

    "Crumpled tissues of hope" by blingbland

    Jason Todd was dead for two years before he came back and dig his way out of his grave. Free from brain damage, never chucked into a Lazarus Pit, he still struggles with the realizations of the ways he's been left behind and misrepresented -- and outright rejected.
    Jason whump with both more and less abject betrayal than in canon.
