    Synopsis: Placement(After Final Crisis & Anansi vs Loki) In a dark and corrupt Gotham City, young Bruce Wayne returns home after years abroad, haunted by the murder of his parents. The city is under the iron grip of crime lord Falcone, whose influence reaches the police, politicians, and every corner of the criminal underworld. Determined to bring justice in a city where the law has failed, Bruce begins testing his skills, his mind, and his morality, setting the foundation for the legendary Batman. Meanwhile, across the multiverse, Mosi Carter-guardian and weaver of the Anansiverse threads-detects a faint but crucial thread belonging to Bruce Wayne. Though the thread reveals only the beginning of his story, it hints at the young man's pivotal role in shaping not just Gotham, but the fate of the multiverse itself. Rip Hunter, traveling through time, investigates Bruce's mysterious erasure from history, fearing that the timeline's disruption could have catastrophic consequences. As Bruce hones his combat skills and adopts his bat persona, he faces escalating threats from Falcone, moral dilemmas that test his principles, and strange temporal anomalies that hint at a cosmic destiny beyond Gotham. Each victory and misstep ripples through time, drawing the attention of forces far greater than the city itself. The season culminates when Granny Goddness returns from a future timeline, witnessing Bruce's eventual battle against Darkseid. To prevent the catastrophic Omega Sanction from repeating in the Anansiverse, she intervenes, throwing Bruce back in time before Rip and the other heroes can reach him. Gotham is left in suspense, Bruce's fate unknown, and the threads of the multiverse left fragile but alive-setting the stage for future seasons and crossover stories.

    {Book 1} The Serpentine War ends in tragedy; most of the next generation of Elemental Masters orphaned, their parents ripped away from them. Some were lucky enough to be taken up by a wise man and his wife or other families. But there's more to the story than a few fluff moments and it's up to Zane, Kai, Cole, Jay, Nya and Lloyd to figure out what in the FSM is going on‽ FYI; This is an AU. Inspired by @Nya714 and her co writer @Ice-Ninja book 'Brothers by blood'.

She promise her grandmother that she would look after her brother no matter what, but their sibling relationship will be put to the test as they deal with everyday situations and Anansi's bag of tricks he left for them. Amara wants to remain loyal to her duties as story keeper and have nothing to do with the outside world.

    Opening Prologue - "Thirteen" The Loom of Stories stretches into infinity, each golden thread glowing with moments of heroism, tragedy, and choice. Mosi Carter, cloaked in his Kwaku Anansi regalia, walks among them. His gaze halts on a single fraying strand. On it, two figures - Burnout and Fairchild - both battered, bloodied, and moments from death. Their hands clutch one another in a broken battlefield, surrounded by fire and silence. A sharp pain jolts through Anansi's chest. Not his pain - theirs. A bond deeper than friendship, deeper than teammates - siblings. The number 13 blazes into the void above them. Mosi Carter (narration): "Some stories hurt when you touch them. This one... burns. But maybe... maybe this time the ending isn't theirs to write alone." He spins his hand over the dying scene, weaving a new golden thread into the tapestry. The blood fades, the battlefield dissolves - and the story rewinds to before it all went wrong. ⸻ Series Premise In this Anansiverse retelling, Genesis 13 follows the rise of the next generation of Gen-Active heroes - the children of the infamous Team 7. The Gen-Factor, a lethal biochemical forged from the DNA of cross-reality nomad Sigma, has turned them into living weapons. The government calls them subjects. The world calls them dangerous. But to each other, they are family. This timeline reshapes history: Burnout (Matthew Callahan) and Caitlin Fairchild are siblings - survivors of an escape from Project: Genesis. Unlike the original Wildstorm timeline, Anansi's thread alters key events: they escape together, discover other Gen-Actives before I.O. can hunt them down, and are united under a reluctant mentor - John Lynch. ⸻

    Tagline: Every story is alive. Every thread is a choice. Synopsis: After the events of Killspeed FlashPoint, Mosi Carter fully embraces his role as Kwaku Anansi, guardian of the Loom of Stories. But the threads of reality still tremble. Out of the disturbance come the Unwoven Kids-Kwame, Ayo, Jahlani, Zuberi, and Anansewa-five children born of fractured timelines, tied to Mosi's essence and each carrying a shard of his spider-god power. They are dangerous, unpredictable, and essential to restoring balance. As Mosi mentors the children, he wrestles with his own past mistakes and glimpses cryptic visions of Aso, the woman destined to become his wife. With the Sandman as a guide to dreams and myths, and Papa Midnite channeling new magic into the web, Mosi realizes the Unwoven Kids are both a gift and a warning: if they cannot learn unity, the Loom will tear again, unraveling creation itself. At the same time, Mosi begins to form the Justice League Ashanti, a team forged not from gods or legends alone, but from those who understand the cost of weaving reality. Old allies and new heroes gather under his leadership, preparing for a coming storm that even Anansi's web may not contain.

    Short folk story. All she knew was laughter. Silalela! The men of her village looked away. "Pah!" They said, "She is impure! Her spirit has no breath. What has she given us, but laughter? What will she ever take, but joy?" The wise inyanga pressed his palm to her heart. "It is cold," he said, "You must warm your heart before any man will desire it." "Yebo!" She cried, "Then that is what I shall do!" This was written as an exercise in writing a performance-style folk tale in a style we're not familiar with. I don't know much about the Zulu culture apart from enjoying their stories, so I am sure there are errors. If there are any please let me know as I'm here to learn!

    Levi Bwledi had his whole, simple future mapped out for him - he would finish High School and then become a Supernatural Hunter like his family. Only he didn't account for being bitten when on a raid, or even what he would turn into afterwards. In his family, to become a werewolf was to be put down, and Levi was bitten by a werewolf. Only, he didn't become one, instead he became a hellhound. With enhanced strength, agility, and the ability to control and manipulate fire Levi struggles to hide himself from his family who would kill him on discovery. And more than that, an ancient deity has come to his home town looking for different supernatural to sacrifice as an offering to a Dark Aztec God - and it seems they've got their eye on Levi, and his other supernatural accomplices. {elements of thriller, action, romance, fantasy} {all rights reserved} #1 in Anasai #9 in WerewolfHunter

In Whispers of the World, ancient legends and timeless myths from every corner of the globe gather beneath the boughs of a single, enchanted tree.
