Summary
“Replace ‘darling’ with ‘for fuck’s sake’ in every sentence she said today.” Emma said. Ruby was quiet for a moment, mentally revising everything she had just heard, until a surprised laugh escaped her lips, “Oh my goodness, so that’s why I’ve never really heard her mad at you.”- AU Swanqueen threeshot, cute and fluffy

Summary
So, I read "Soap Opera" by RinRin and Wandering_Shadows. And this happened.
Senju Tobirama and Uchiha Izuna have a long, convoluted and bloody history together. Starting at that damn river bank, thanks to their respective older brothers.
They also develop a strange form of communication between each other - if only to complain how utterly idiotic and annoying siblings can be when they can't keep their arguments inside their own damn clans.

Summary
“Even without my heightened senses, I couldn’t stand a minute in this disgusting place I have to call a temporary home.”
~~~
At the young ages of 10 and 11, Natsu Dragneel and Gray Fullbuster find themselves forced into the largest underground fighting ring in Fiore. They relied on each other and only each other when facing the hell they endured. As a result were forced to kill one person after another without remore and it's up to Fairy Tail, and themselves, to help fix their morals before the Magic Council gets involved.

Summary
"It burned down the whole fricking forest like wildfire. It was nigh unstoppable. It even ‘burned’ the others, even if only an illusion, their hoarse screaming haunting everyone forever. They took no physical damage. By then, the region was a desert-like wasteland of deforestation. Piles of ash lisping into the air. And it only took an hour. It would take hundreds of years for it to recover fully."
I have to read the manga for this because, according to some people, the canon-ness of Season 1 stops here and jumps right over to Season 2.
Oh, and Amaimon doesn't actually die. His demon healing kicks in and eventually recovers. Fully recovered by the end of Season 2.

Summary
In an alternate to my final chapter of my last work, Poison Ivy does a lot more damage then just whammying Damian and Dick. Poor Jason is just trying to relax and be with his family. Instead of just Dick and Damian getting hit by the white slime, they all got hit and Ivy managed to drag them all away to her hideout, but because Damian is smarter than the rest of his family, he noticed that while he couldn’t hear human voices, he could hear artificial sounds and other human noises. And he’s a trained assassin. He can fight without his eyes. He managed to get away from Poison Ivy while Batgirl, Nightwing and Batman were taken.

Summary
‘Plan?’ Bruce asked by first moving his hand to the area near the corner of his left eye where it met his nose. He lightly scratched the area with his left pointer finger before moving the hand up to tap his temple with the same finger and lifted his right brow for a brief moment. He was way too done and tired to really think up a plan himself. ‘Lex?’ he inquired, swiping across his lips with his right thumb from right to left, then raising his right eyebrow once again.
Lex tapped his temple twice with his right pointer and middle finger before clenching his left hand slightly into a fist before quickly releasing it and splaying all five fingers like he was reenacting an explosion. ‘Bruce, distraction.’
Featuring: sleep deprived Brucie Wayne gaslighting and girlbossing his ass off; everyone being weirdly nice and cuddly I have no idea how that happened fr; "don't underestimate the importance of BODY LANGUAGE, HA!"; and some BomBasTic SiDeEyE from the Justice League

For years Katsuki Bakugou has been Izuku Midoriya's bully, and just about everyone knew it. Except that wasn't actually the case at all. Through a secret language they were able to fool the world into thinking that they weren't actually best friends. So when midway through their first year at UA when they were given an assignment that required secretive communication, they knew that they were guaranteed an A. However, they weren't prepared for the chaos that it would bring or the relationship that would result from it.

Bookmarker's Notes
His friends were used to his antics, though, and didn’t bat an eye at his clicks and whistles as he organized his thoughts aloud while he worked. Kon had said once that he did it most when he was distracted, and had called the habit cute. Bart had called it weird, but said they liked Tim’s weird, and Cassie had just smiled and slapped Bart upside the head.
Tim barely looked up when the zeta announced two arrivals. Dick had texted him that he and Jason would be stopping by the tower to pick up some things from Kori’s old room for her before they went to meet up with her and some other friends. As they neared the doorway to the hall though, Tim let out a trill. Dick stopped where he was, and gave him a look that had Tim not meeting his gaze.
“How much of the energy you’re running on is from sleep and how much of it’s from coffee?” Dick asked, arms crossed. Tim let out a noncommittal click. Dick frowned. “You know that’s not healthy, baby bird.”
Tim responded with a chirp, and Jason laughed out loud, while Dick looked affronted.

Summary
Only the Bats knew all of the complex signals of pitches, chitters, chirps and whistles.
It became the main way that the bat kids communicated. You weren’t allowed to ignore the bat chirps. You were completely okay to ignore anyone talking to you and not talk all day. But if you didn’t respond to a well check chirp in your vicinity Alfred would take away your cookies for weeks. And no one was willing to risk Alfred’s wrath and their cookie supply.
All this to say that it was absolutely Dick’s fault that Jason was in this situation right now.
