    Summary

    Somehow Percy ended up in a modern, political intrigue movie full of war crimes. Also known as Disney’s Descendants (2015).

    —

    “Prince Ben invited some of the children of villains off of the isle to attend school here, with us.”

    “The isle?”

    “The Isle of the Lost. It functions as a prison for the villains. King Beast sent them there twenty-ish years ago. They can’t get in or out. Not that anyone wants to go in. It keeps us all safe.”

    “And the kids are stuck on this isle, too?” Astern nodded, looking like he was about to say something else, but Percy stopped him before he could, “isn’t that, like, a war crime?”

    Percy wasn’t actually that familiar with what constituted a war crime, but it certainly sounded like one. Although, fuck, this place apparently didn’t have a Long Island. What made him think they had a Geneva? Or a World War II? Though the gods did still exist here so—

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Genuinely so funny, especially since PJO is part of the Disney verse now

    Summary

    Peter Parker, like any 14 year old superhero mutant, really wants to catch a break. And yet somehow, he never gets one. He's just a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, nothing special, so what gives?

    Well, that's only if you don't look at his biology ever since the radioactive spider bite. Or his extensive track record of running away from his guardians and that he was homeless for a bit. Or the amount of people in his life that have died because he's some kind of bad luck charm. Or that his foster-dad is Tony Stark now.

    Or the fact that he was randomly kidnapped one morning on his way to school, and now he's in an alternate universe with a bunch of strange vigilantes that keep stalking him.

    He thinks they mean well, but they're really weird. Besides that Red Hood guy. He's pretty cool. Though something about them- especially Nightwing- is familiar, that's not important. He has enough on his plate right now, considering there are multiple people trying to upend the fabric of time and space. He can figure out the other details later.

    Summary

    Harry's life post final battle isn't what he expected it would be, and then he dies, just like that.

    He gets a second chance but forgets to read the fine-print, and ends up somewhere in the distant past while his body suddenly looks quite differently.

    Now he's stuck as a teenager attending Hogwarts again, where he encounters an old enemy, and surprise, it's not Tom Riddle. All Harry has to do now is survive long enough to build a life for himself that's actually worth living.
