Summary
Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.
Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.
He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.
So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.
(a Ladynoir hurt/comfort texting fic, with established Adrienette)

Summary
Wally West has been the Flash for only a few months after his uncle sacrifices himself to save the world. Barry had been a hero. Wally's just trying to get by. After a long day, Wally goes for a standard run that leads him stumbling across a badly beaten Robin. He saves him. He has no idea yet, but this changes everything.
Snippet:
"No-" Wally's voice is rough with lingering dredges of sleep. It's hard to imagine less than an hour ago, he had been counting sheep in his borrowed bed. He clears his throat and tries again, pleading urgently with the nurse, "I'm alright. Please focus on the boy."'Boy.' Jason is only fifteen, Wally's pretty sure. Tiny. Powerless. He should call Batman and demand answers. Why is Robin in Ethiopia and not Gotham? Where were you? He doesn't remember Barry questioning Batman's authority often. But Barry would've never let Kid Flash be in another country alone with no teammates and no mentor.

Summary
Uenoyama lowers his head a little. “You—” It comes out almost between his teeth, like he’s gritting it out. “You’re really sticking with Kaji-san lately.”
Is that bad? Does that mean he is angry? Does that mean Mafuyu made him angry?
“That’s—”
Uenoyama whirls around, lodging Mafuyu’s words in his throat. He flinches by accident, just because Uenoyama is so close, and Mafuyu expects there to be a hand, next, coming just as fast.
He wishes the antidepressants were working, because he’s feeling the wrong things, right now. He’s feeling scared.
He’s not supposed to be scared around Uenoyama. He’s not supposed to be scared of Uenoyama.
“You really think I wouldn’t be angry?” Uenoyama demands. His eyes narrow, unfriendly and accusatory.

Summary
The zombies appeared out of nowhere, with no warning and no explanation.
If it weren’t for his friends, Kakashi wouldn’t have survived the first hour. Not with his phobia of germs and blood – the aftermath of finding his father’s body – holding him back.
Sasuke was born weeks before the fall of civilization. Safe behind the walls of his family’s property, he had no reason to fear the zombies outside of it. Yet as the undead make their way in and life becomes less certain, his family’s ‘gifts’ soon threaten to become more of a curse.
And Naruto? Bitten but unturned, with the ability to walk amongst the undead, he’s hunted by those who want to use him to save humanity – or themselves. His gifts could be their greatest hope. Or their biggest downfall.
(Eventually Sasuke-centric and Naruto-centric.)
(Updates every Friday.)

Summary
Naruto was six years old when he learned that being “gay”, whatever that meant, was bad. Would get you beat up. Would get a crowd of people all looking down at you in disdain, kicking and mocking and laughing.
Naruto had enough of that already. He didn’t need another reason for it.
Naruto was six years old when he decided that he’d never be gay.- Language:

Summary
The biggest difference between a superhero and a supervillain's origin story are the choices you make and the community you have waiting for you. Wally and Hartley both want to fight for justice, it just takes them a little while to realize they're coming at the same issues from different angles.

Summary
Wally West, a kid from Nowhere USA, meets the man he considers the greatest hero alive: The Flash. Within ten minutes, he's gained the same powers, but that doesn't immediately make him a sidekick.
Meanwhile, the Flash worries over having made a nine-year-old a metahuman, Barry Allen realises he kind of wants to adopt, and Iris West gets annoyed that she's twenty-three, struggling, and can't kidnap her nephew away from her jerk brother. It's a hard time all-round.
Or, the new adventures of The Flash and Kid Flash, as inspired by My Adventures With Superman.

He's not the Flash right now, not Kid Flash. He's just Wally, sitting there with eyes fixed firmly on his lap, trying so hard not to sound afraid of wanting something good. Of ruining it.

Summary
There was an acute sense of shame making its way through Wally’s body. He felt heat rise in his cheeks. And what kind of father, what kind of person would need to check constantly that his children were still there in the bassinet, would distrust the baby monitors, would surge awake half a dozen times in one night with a panicky feeling in his ribs that insisted they weren't really there? Not a normal one, certainly.
Or: Wally West is the fastest man alive. He's also a father now. Turns out he has a lot to learn from his twin babies. It also turns out nothing stays buried forever, no matter how much he wishes it could.

Summary
In a childish, naïve kind of way, Kai had thought getting home would fix it. Would fix him, whatever pieces are left of the person he used to see in the mirror that he managed to drag out of that place.
Looking in the dusty monastery mirror his first night home, still cracked from where Cole had fallen over after laughing too hard at Jay’s terrible haircut, hollow eyes and gaunt skin and a stranger staring back at him—
Maybe, Kai’s forced to realize, it isn’t that easy.

Kakashi felt like he was drowning. So weighed down by his grief and guilt, he couldn’t face Minato-sensei’s child even after taking him in under his roof. He reasoned that by doing so, he was saving the boy from staying in a bad place, and that was enough. Instead, Naruto saved him. (Two-shot)

Summary
He’s sorting through inventory—laughing and cursing at Hal’s outrageous labeling system; Boobs for B and so on—when the front desk phone rings. “Lantern Mech’s Incorporated, we got the grease for your slippery needs.”
“That… is not the greeting. Didn’t I write it down?” Wally’s voice is sleepy, half-slurred. There’s rustling of voices in the background, the high-pitched wheeze of a child’s laughter.
“People love my greeting.”
“No, it sucks. Have you-”
“Yes.”
Wally huffs into the phone. It crackles in Kyle's ear, an incompatible sound to the real thing; he wonders what Wally's breath would feel like exhaled against his neck, if his breath would smell like bubblegum he chews.
