Summary
Peter Parker, normal kid and son of Tony Stark, disappeared nine years ago without a trace. The world believed him dead. Tony and Pepper buried an empty casket and tried to move on.
But Peter didn’t die. Kidnapped by crime lord Quinton Beck, he was forced to join the organization called Eight Legs. Peter survived by becoming someone else—someone sharp, jaded, and terrifyingly good at violence.
When Peter finally escapes, the tattoo on his arm draws the attention of SHIELD. He gives the authorities no name, but one DNA test changes everything. Because Peter Parker is alive, and the people he once loved are about to come crashing back into his life.

Or a no spider powers AU, where Peter escapes crime lord Quinton Beck and comes home to the Starks after nine years of hell.

Summary
When Damian gets sent to Bruce by Talia, it is far from easy for him to make sense of his new family: the interactions seem so foreign, and the relationships are too tangled. Not to mention that there seem to be doubles of Bruce's sons, for some reason.
His own harsh and rather traumatic upbringing is not helping matters, and learning to be a son and a brother is not going to be a smooth journey (for anyone involved).
(This is the reworked version of an earlier draft with a slightly revised plot, more details, and additional POVs).

The Nightwing Protocol by PurpleSoot
Fandoms: Teen Titans (Animated Series), Young Justice (Cartoon)

Summary
In a universe that falls somewhere in between Teen Titans and Young Justice, Robin was fourteen years old on the day he was killed in action, caught in a clever trap laid by the world’s most dangerous mercenary assassin.
Deathstroke’s Apprentice was fifteen on the day he finally surrendered to the Justice League, with blood on his hands and scars that will never heal.
Dick Grayson is seventeen on the day he chooses to face Slade Wilson again.
Some things you lose and can’t ever find again. Some things you drop and leave behind. Some things you just have to learn how to carry with you.
(They’ll call that the Nightwing Protocol, if he survives.)

Summary
The weight of the blade is familiar, and so is the spray of blood he skillfully avoids getting splashed by as he slits his target's throat. He watches for long enough to make sure the woman is dead, that he's done his job, before vanishing out the window.
These deaths don't affect him, not anymore. Slade forced that reaction out of him years ago.
What if the Titans hadn't figured it all out and gone to rescue Robin? What if Dick spent weeks, months, years as Deathstroke's apprentice?
