Dead Boys Don't Scream by Year_of_Summer

Summary
Tim knew, from the moment he stepped into a dead boy's suit, that things wouldn't end well.
Except…
There's something different about drowning alone. About falling off a cliff into an icy ocean and knowing that no one's going to save you – not because they couldn't make it in time, but because they didn't even notice you were gone.
***
OR; A shit ton of Tim Drake whump, dubious blood magic, deadly mermaid-esque water spirits, morally grey Tim, Batfam feels, and as many little head cannons as I could feasibly fit in one fic. NOTE: This is NOT a major character death story… (at least, not a traditional one). Major content warnings are tagged, and additional warnings are included in chapter summaries. -

Summary
It was a bone-deep almost-ache when he opened his eyes and spotted the light flitting through the slats of his cupboard, both a familiar sight and at the same time distant like an old memory. It was a twist in his chest when he sat up, expecting—strangely—to hit his head on the sloped ceiling only to pause when he realized, of course, that he was far too short for that to happen.
Harry was struck with a strong sensation—which had no apparent reason at all—that he should not be here.
---
In which Harry Potter returns to his 11 year-old body after “dying” in the Forbidden Forest, given a second chance to change the ending of his story and the fate of the wizarding world. Except with the memories of his previous life buried deep in his subconscious, Harry must rely on his ever-present sense of deja-vu to guide him down a different path.Series

"Ignore the dementor; really, it's fine. There are no monsters here. It's just me…Harry."
When things go very wrong before his fifth year, Harry Potter tries to pretend everything is normal…while also taking care of his Harry-suit so that it stays healthy and alive and learning to rein in his new powers, yeah everything is definitely normal.

His quirk tells him to rob a bank.
Well, why not?

In which, Shen Jiu was blind.

Summary
Reality shattered like broken glass. The firmament that separated the real world from the eldritch beyond had broken. Two timelines had collided in the center of the street—an incongruous synthesis of two different chains of events. A building collapsed, and it did not. An explosion devastated the surroundings, and it did not. Screaming faces and laughs of joy overlapped each other as if viewed through a kaleidoscopic prism.
The crowd looked on in horror and awe. Who was responsible for tearing apart the fabric of reality?
Izuku groaned. Great, another merge conflict, he thought. What a pain.
Midoriya Izuku’s quirk is Git, the distributed version control system designed to track changes in source code and resolve conflicts in nonlinear development workflows.
Yes, I’m dead fucking serious.

Summary
Jason’s mind was reeling. “Someone can see us?”
He’d tried everything he could think of to get Bruce and Alfred’s attention since he became a ghost. But even physically floating through their bodies hadn’t elicited a response.
She laughed. “Crazy, ain’t it? I don’t know if he’s a meta or what, but all the ghosts are talking about him.”
If there was someone out there who could see ghosts… then maybe…
Jason had to find him. “Who is he?”
“He’s known by many names… Veil Walker… Reaper… Half-Pint.”
Jason sputtered. “Half-Pint??”
“That’s the wildest shit. It’s a kid. Like a middle schooler.” Delilah threw out one of her hands. “And he’s out here wandering Gotham every night and chatting up the dead.”
Jason could only stare at her. Processing. A kid who could see ghosts... What was this? The Sixth Sense: Gotham edition??
———
Jason was murdered by the Joker. Tim can see the dead. They find each other.

Summary
(aka 'how to survive endless rebirth with your so-called soulmate')
Harry and Tom’s souls are tied together. Which is why they’re in this endless loop of rebirth.
At some point, they stopped caring and just started fucking with people.
(cracky humor with a hint of seriousness and plot, my specialty)
