    Summary

    Pale gold eyes watch him quietly, but there’s no sneering malice, no delighted calculation. If anything, he looks… tired. Preoccupied. As if Jango is more of a trial to pass than a helpless prisoner to toy with.

    a variable star by twigcollins. Jango Fett is captured by Kyr'tsad, kept alive by Tor Viszla in hopes that he might be able to wrest useful information about Jaster Mereel's plans. In a camp on Manda'yaim, part of a desolate wasteland, Jango meets a yellow-eyed dar'Jetii - or is he? Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn't seem at all malicious. He's oddly...helpful? And he's helping the ade stuck in this camp, stolen from their families, but too young to be forced to train. Obi-Wan just wants to get Cal and Trilla and the rest out, if he can, and figure out what Xanatos did to him to cause him to feel the Dark side of the Force so much more strongly.

    Summary

    The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.

    There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.

    “Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"

    Dark Matter by mysterycyclone. During the confrontation with Thanos on Titan, Peter accidentally steals half of the Soul Stone. Following the Snap, he finds himself in another dimension, one with no Avengers, no Tony, no Aunt May. He's alone, with only the voices of some of his fallen companions to comfort him. Determined to get back home, Peter hacks his way into some rich guy's bank account, a Bruce Wayne? Sounds like a tool, but a wealthy tool, so Peter doesn't feel too bad for stealing from him. Anyway, he gets a scholarship to Gotham Academy to gain access to their lab resources, and events spiral from there. Living in an abandoned firehouse in Crime Alley isn't making his life any easier, but the local superheros seem pretty competent. That Nightwing is a nice guy, he brings burgers sometimes, which is almost enough to make up for the Hellmouth that is Gotham, New Jersey.

    Summary

    “Eighteen years ago, an earthquake ripped through Gotham City, and in the aftermath, instead of helping, the US government sealed the city under a ‘quarantine’ and left them to die. Two years later, when signs of life and even civilisation were still detectable inside the shattered city, the government sent the military in to reclaim and rehabilitate Gotham. Gotham has not forgotten, and they have not forgiven either.”

    An AU where an altered version of No Man’s Land happened while Bruce was in his late teens/early twenties, and Batman was born in the hellish crucible of a trapped city that was left for dead and then violently retaken. Gotham may pretend to run by mainlander rules for the sake of those who would have died otherwise, but under the surface, Bruce, Jim, Leslie, Ivy and Oswald and their pack keep their own council, and look with jaundiced eyes on the mainland.
