Perfection is the new trend, and parents will do anything to make their children perfect. Even if it means using mind control.
The RAC (Re-Assimilation Corporation) is where parents send "bad" children. The RAC promises to "turn every bad seed into a blossoming flower" by re-assimilating their brains to rid them of all negative thoughts...which over time results in loss of creativity and the ability to think for themselves.
Born somehow immune to the re-assimilation process, seventeen year old Willow Fern has been training her whole life to take down the RAC. When a secret society run by teenagers (who call themselves the Re-Asimmilation Corporation De-Activation) dedicated to destroying the RAC pursue her, she is thrilled. But, what happens when they send her to infiltrate the RAC as a patient? And are their intentions really as genuine and as innocent as they say they are? Or do they have more sinister motives?
America Melody Cartwright has never been a "good girl". So maybe that's why her parents sent her in to be re-assimilated. But when the re-assimilation process fails to re-assimilate her, the doctors threaten to dispose of her. Will America ever make it back home? And, what happens when America meets Willow by chance? With both of their lives hanging on the line, will they be able to save future teenagers all over America before it's too late?

There! That's the Ghost Who's Been Stealing My Shit!
(THIS STORY IS FINISHED! IF A STORY IS MARKED AS COMPLETED, ITS COMPLETED. STOP ASKING FOR A CONTINUATION) Imagine Danny goes to college in Gotham. Given his halfa nature, he's fairly not worried about most parts of Gotham and given he needs less sleep now, he likes to wander campus and Gotham itself like he's a natural Gothathes...at night like the half dead-half living man he was. During these wanderings, he finds pieces of bat tech from fights. He figures it's safer in his care(and because he's really curious about the local vigilantes) so...he takes it. It's usually just tiny things that the bats- probably -wouldn't even notice gone and he has things to fiddle with now. Unfortunately(for the bats), he finds Red Hood's destroyed helmet and takes it back to his dorm to fix, figuring it would allow him to return most of the items he snatched without a second thought. He doesn't realize it has an active tracker in it so the bats, when they activate it and discover it on the Gotham University campus, reasonably panic and flip on the camera...only to come face to face with adoption bait using bits of their missing tech to fix the helmet. (Warning: There is a brief scene of vomiting)Complete

A New Beginning
Humans don't understand how someone can be both dead and alive, and that fact scares them, it opens up the possibility of a threat even if there is no evidence of malevolent intent. So, the only solution in the minds of humanity is to dominate and subjugate the unknown variable until it no longer has even the potential to be a threat. They choose to pretend that the unknown variable is lesser, that humanity is superior on no other grounds than that it's humanity. Danny had been stuck with the G.I.W for years when the Young Justice team rescued him. Broken, beaten, and none the wiser of the greater majority of humans, the humans with kindness in their eyes and light in their souls. He's been trapped in the darkness of greed and fear and violence for far too long, and what's left behind is a fractured mind and a trained weapon. Buried underneath that, however, is a young child who is scared and confused, a child that hasn't seen the light of day in years. That child never expected to see the bright side to existence, to see the light shine in the souls of the righteous. That all changed with one group of heroes, and one family of Bats. Cover doesn't belong to me.

Theft of a Life
What would you do if you woke up in unfamiliar territory- the middle of a city you've never seen before, perhaps- with nothing but the clothes you're wearing? What would you do when you realized that you couldn't remember anything before waking up- not even your own name? Then, what would you do when you realized that if you thought about it very carefully, you could get from one place to another without going anywhere in the middle? What would you do when you figured out it wasn't safe to tell anyone? __ Far away from the girl trying to remember her own name, the head of the biggest anti-hydra organization leads a crew of ticked-off teenagers. And ex-human experiments. She works to fight for the lives that Hydra stole, for the kids who didn't get to be kids, and to hunt down the head of New S.H.I.E.L.D., who makes her job much harder than it should be. Platonic!Peter Parker fic (hint; no romancing. If you don't like that, then go away, there is 0 of that here) Major AU, basically Infinity War and everything after didn't happen.

The Island
"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Belladonna Carina Potter
credits to : Stevethemetalcrab on ao3 Belladonna Blackwell had lived at St. Anne's Orphanage in Limehouse, East London for as long as she could remember. She thought her parents must be dead, or in jail, or in debt, or otherwise unable to look after her. Or maybe they had been scared of her Special Powers like the Blackwells had been. Either way, she didn't need them. She had everything she needed to succeed in life: herself. And she was going to succeed, if only in getting her freedom. But then, things changed. Belladonna Carina Potter had lived at the Orphanage for as long as she could remember. But she had just found out that her parents weren't dead, or in jail, or in debt, and she had a twin brother so they could've physically looked after her. And she was a witch and her parents had magic too so they couldn't have been scared away. So her plans changed. Yes, she was going to get her freedom, but now it would come with a healthy dose of revenge. ***** Basically, Belladonna is a vicious little witch who launches herself into a years long plot of lies and manipulation in order to utterly ruin those who have wronged her. It's overdramatic and ridiculous and might not make much sense. Literally all the tropes are here. Bon appetiteComplete
