In a world where superheroes patrol the streets and supervillains run rampant, Nova city is the place to be for metahumans. Two of them, the heroic Meteor and his world-weary sidekick Quickdraw, do everything they can to protect Nova City from villains, thieves, thugs, and a bustling black market for office supplies; all the while trying to break into the superhero big leagues. When a gang of powerful supervillains start gunning for them, Quickdraw suddenly finds himself up to his neck in trouble, including catching the interest of the electrically charged Teravolt. On top of everything else, a flamboyantly dark figure from Meteor's past arises, and he will stop at nothing to have his revenge.

A Guide to Being Super by tangles-
24 parts Complete
Every city has its claim to fame and for the city of Cytropolis it's their superheroes. But unlike the cities of Gotham and Central City, this isn't a good thing. Cytropolis is known far and wide as the city with the clumsiest and least influential superheroes ever. But it never mattered that much since the super villains were just as bad. That is, until recently when the villains decided to smarten up and open a super villain academy to train the newest generation (something that never occurred to the heroes). Luckily for them, Matt Miller has arrived. He may seem like an average, normal (even bordering on boring) seventeen-year-old boy, but when are things ever what they seem? He may be apathetic and bitter but he has super powers and he's kind of, well, powerful. He's the heroes only hope against the newest villain in town, Sinister Shadow, and he has no choice but to lend a hand (but he refuses to wear tights while he does it, he draws the line at tights). And with Matt's help (along with his little sister turned sidekick), the heroes just might win. *cover by @soundthealarm*
The Second Generation: Journey to the Golden Kingdom by Lexi_RT
9 parts Ongoing
[BOOK ONE] Over half a century ago, the world was introduced to Elementals -- a new race of humans, gifted with special abilities to help restore the Earth to its former glory. Now, they rule kingdoms scattered around the world, using their gifts to help their societies. But now, it is coming time for their children to take over...and they could use some help...to say the least. This story centers around Renee Starling, Princess of Novaria and daughter of the late Queen Nebula and King Atlas. Her childhood is nothing but a foggy memory, but after her coronation, bits and pieces begin to string together. After learning about the tragic murder of her parents, Renee sets off to the Kingdom of Valon to avenge their death and save the hostage Prince, in perfect fairytale fashion. Except, Renee's life is not a fairytale, and in real life, it is much more difficult to save a Prince than the books make it seem. Discovering life altering secrets and facing moral dilemmas that concern the safety of her own kingdom, she teams up with Prince Chase to begin a new wave of Elemental intervention -- The Second Generation. And this is only the beginning...

[Formerly Featured!] Coming back from a vacation, with a gun pointed at her head was definitely not what Jean Saunders expected. Especially seeing a man flying around in the air, claiming to be the city's superhero. At least he wasn't wearing that embarrassing spandex outfit. Alas, due to her capability for getting into trouble, the city's superhero eventually recognises her and not in a good way, at all. Catching a superhero's attention is never a good thing. -------------------------- Opening and closing his mouth, he made some gestures as if he was trying to speak but he couldn't find the words to convey his message. "...what are you?" He finally managed to speak and I blinked my eyes at him. The heck? Does he think I am some sort of...alien? It's not like I'm some kind of weird species! What the heck does he think I am? "I'm human!" I said, narrowing my eyes at him. --------------------------

"I've been looking for you." There was an unexpected rasp to his voice, a hint of desperation. He stretched out one hand, as if to brush it across my cheek, or perhaps wrap it around my throat. Oddly enough, I didn't know which option frightened me more. *+*+*+* Lily Burdett has an unfortunate gift for getting herself into tricky situations, but her luck is especially bleak the day she finds herself in the destructive path of the city's premier supervillain. When he grabs ahold of her, she reacts without thinking and stabs him twice in the shoulder, only surviving the encounter thanks to a nearby hero who intervenes on her behalf. Unfortunately, her villain vows to get even. Everywhere she turns, he's there, and with each bizarre encounter more doubts fill her head as to his true intentions. *enemies to lovers/slowburn
The Starlight Sentinels: The Amusing Story of a Struggling Superhero Team by JGrayDingler
8 parts Complete
A man, a woman, a boy, a girl, a demon, and an alien, all walk into a bar... THEY FIGHT CRIME! The Starlight Sentinels goes beyond The Watchmen's question of "Who would want to be a superhero?" by asking "Who would want to be a superhero if being a superhero was just another job people needed doing?" The Starlight Sentinels, that's who! They're not your traditional superhero team, and they're not the other guys either, nor are they the grizzled antihero type. Instead, they're just people who happen to work as superheroes in a world where being a superhero isn't so much a call to greatness as it is an eccentric career choice and super villains are just another problem that people try not to think about. Drawing inspiration from films such as Shawn of the Dead and TV series such as the Venture Bros, the Starlight Sentinels was crafted to be an amusing and occasionally action-packed adventure grounded by a diverse cast of humorous but relatable characters. You may laugh at their numerous missteps, but you'll also be cheering for these heroes and heroines hard-earned triumphs as well. Join this comedic costumed cabal in their debut adventure as they fight crime and battle the forces of evil anytime they're not stuck filling out forms for the police, trying to appease their overbearing corporate sponsor, struggling to gain recognition from an apathetic public, or arguing over whose turn it is to do the shopping in this hilarious tongue-in-cheek tale that takes on all things superhero! If you enjoy the first half of The Starlight Sentinels, you can pick up the full book on every major eBook seller, or order a printed copy from Amazon or Createspace.
The Best Laid Plans of Vegetation and Cybernetic Beings by KarinaLFabian

If you love Star Trek and parodies... If the Orville and Galaxy Quest give you as much joy as Wrath of Khan... If you believe (as Tumblr users do) that humans will rule the galaxy because we are the only species crazy enough to tie two warp cores together, reverse the polarity and toss them into a star just to see what will happen... then this is the book for you. These are the voyages of the HMB Impulsive. This episode: The HMB Impulsive has a routine diplomatic mission - to assist two warring planets to achieve peace through marriage by ferrying the prince to his wedding. But when the prince falls for the ship's sexy (yes, that's her title), and the Cybers attack, it's far from routine. Can the crew of the Impulsive apply human hold-my-beer ingenuity to save the day and the wedding? (This story is found in my collection, Space Traipse: Hold My Beer, Season 1, on Amazon)
Super? by secretlySwitzerland

"Stop pretending to be an idiot, idiot." Ouch. It burns. "You're starting to sound like a dear old friend of mine," she adds, her tone implying that her "friend" isn't so much of a "friend" as a mortal enemy who she probably also dragged into an alley on multiple occasions. Because she must be a fan of alley-dragging. Theater major. "I bet that friend was super amazing," I retort anyway. "She'd have to be to put up with you." Oh! Snap! I grin like an idiot at my own joke, realize how uncool that is, and then quickly rearrange my face into a frown. "I'm sorry. I don't quite understand. You're supposed to be a superhero, so why are you threatening a fellow superhero? Isn't that kind of against our code or whatever?" "You don't have a code. Superheroes who follow codes don't drop off information about people's allegedly dead sons at their doorsteps and then run." Well, can't say she doesn't have a point there. -- After being framed for the horrific murder of Birchwood City's most revered superhero's six year-old son, Maya Waterman abandons her super-villain persona and finds herself lost without any sense of identity and purpose. Being hunted by a vengeful super is hard enough, but after her employer fires her and she's evicted from her apartment, Maya begins to become something she had prayed she would never become again- helpless. She needs nothing less than a miracle to save herself, and much to her surprise, she gets just that-- even if it entails her trying her hand at becoming a good guy for once.

Will he show up and help Dick choose the right path? Or will the boy be influenced by his new villain friends, who insist he make choices similar to theirs? Will he choose revenge or justice? Read to find out ;) Edited version on AO3! My first Robin fanfiction! Whoop whoop! Warning: This story contains profanity and violence. Disclaimer: I do not own dc. I do not own cover art.
