Summary
Before leaving the village with Jiraiya to train, Naruto remembers being Jason Todd.
This changes quite a few things.
(ft. Elemental Nations worldbuilding, Jiraiya forced to be a good godparent and teacher, and Jason Todd throwing a wrench in every bad guy's plans. Three years of training done right instead of whatever bullshit canon did.)

Summary
Aya Fukikoshi will do anything for her nephew, Izuku Midoriya. Including, but not limited to, helping him with his new quirk All Might gave him, raising him in place of his neglectful mother, and even taking up a job position at UA as their Quirk Counselor.
A few things she was not prepared for that she isn't mad about, is her nephew being ultra powerful, a bear-rat-principle that is smarter than anyone she has ever met, and the teacher that she desperately wants to take on a date.

Summary
They always knew that their lives would be short and would end gruesomely. They all ignored the question, 'who will be the last one?'
Well, Damian drew the short stick it seems. It was him, Jason, and Cass for a while. Then him and Jason. Then just him. The youngest brother, baby bat, Robin. He would say he went out honorably, fighting to his last breath against a foe he couldn't even remember anymore, and ready to see his family again. But he died alone in a dirty Gotham alleyway, and was met not with his family, but with a whole new world.
Damian Al-Ghul Wayne was the last one of the family alive. His life as Todoroki Shouto was just beginning. Gods, why did he have to be the youngest brother again?

Summary
People like to think the circus is a place of childlike wonder and innocence, of magic and fun, and the performers wouldn’t have it any other way. The atmosphere of fantastical, harmless revelry has been as carefully curated as the trapeze work, the animal-taming, the feats of endurance, and every other act in the show, all available to see, free with admission. Richard Grayson would know - afterall, he’s a circus brat, born and bred.
Just sometimes he wishes that people understood what being a circus brat *actually* meant.

It happened yesterday. It’s all over the news. I came to his apartment and it’s… Court, it’s wiped. Everything’s gone. I’ve been trying to call him, but he’s unreachable.
I have a really, really bad feeling. I didn’t know what to do.”

Summary
Eva feels like the breath is knocked out of her lungs when the man walks in.
Dirty blond hair. Blue eyes. Sort of like… if Ryland Grace was hit by a car several times. It was undeniably him.
“So you’re Eva Stratt,” The man says gruffly, slamming both hands on her desk. He looked exactly like Ryland, it was terrifying. It felt like watching a ghost haunt her in real life.
“You’re the crazy woman that sent my baby brother up into space. Let’s talk, yeah?”
or
Colt Seavers finds out his twin brother was sent on a suicide mission. He does not take it well.
