Bookshelf for Sleepless Nights
Stories that kept me up an entire Friday and/or Saturday night reading. Some of them kept me up on Sunday night too, even though I had work the next day.
Totally worth it, though.

Summary
A silhouette appeared at the end of the alley, thin and walking with an almost limp, or maybe just swaying. The man appeared to be giggling to himself, reaching up and touching his lips. As he got closer, Peter realized there seemed to be blood on his hands. He was wearing a stained and ripped purple suit, with garish clown makeup making him look a ghastly white. His yellow teeth were stained with blood, reflecting off the dim light as stumbled down the alleyway. He was getting closer, and Peter made a split second decision.
or
Peter traverses universes, accidentally one hit KOs the Joker, gets stalked by Bats, fakes an identity, and maybe finds a family, not necessarily in that order.

vencuyanir [ven-COO-yah-neer]: sustain, keep alive, preserve (Mando'a)
About to be taken away from Arvala-7, Elana only has two objectives: keeping Bean alive and getting away from the Mandalorian
~
The Mandalorian's helmet then snapped around to her, and Elana flinched, still reeling from the strange display in front of her.
"You’re the caretaker?" he asked gruffly. Elana barely managed to nod, scared out of her wits.
The Mandalorian was quiet for a long time, his intimidating presence alone enough to make her hold her breath. Crouching in front of her, a long moment passed where she could almost feel his gaze scrutinising her. Then, he reached out and tugged her upwards with an unexpected gentleness from a bounty hunter.
She looked up at him, shaking in fear. The visor glared down menacingly. A low command came from beneath the helmet, causing shivers to run down her back.
"Pack your things."

Summary
Artemis Lee never wanted to go to a stupid, outdated magic school with a bunch of sheltered children. She should have struggled more to get on the train. But she didn't, and so here she is, furiously resigned to suffering for the next seven years.
And honestly, she really couldn’t give a shit about what will happen to the backwards British wizarding world and all its weird progenies around her.
(Except no matter how much she says she doesn't care, she does.)

Alternate Title: The Snake Goes Ara Ara

Now I need to find a way to turn this hoard of sycophants and psychos into something that will not only keep me from an early grave, but also how to change it to a force of change in this messed up world.

Summary
When billionaire Bruce Wayne witnesses eight-year-old Percy Jackson's mother be murdered and is unable to stop it, he doesn't expect to take on another ward. Young Percy Jackson can’t explain the strange things that happen around him — only that water seems to protect him, and monsters sometimes follow where he goes. Bruce doesn’t believe in monsters. He just believes the kid deserves a home.
Years later, Percy Jackson-Wayne grows up as part of the ever-expanding Wayne family — never realizing that his father and brothers spend their nights as Gotham’s masked vigilantes. At the same time, Bruce and the others remain oblivious to Percy’s hidden life as a demigod, one who fights gods and monsters under the radar of mortal eyes.
Two worlds, two secrets — both fiercely protected.
When Gotham’s brand of weird brushes too close to the world of Olympus, Percy and Bruce find themselves walking a dangerous line, each hiding who they really are to keep the other safe.The truths — whether forged in shadow or born of the sea — could destroy everything they’ve built as a family.

Summary
"A short, plump man in a three-piece suit stood over a costumed child wrapped in a small boat chain. The man had a smoking revolver in his hand leveled at a spot right next to the kid’s ear. His ridiculous top hat sat low over his eyes, but his hooked nose was just long enough to jut past the brim. The lighting in the warehouse wasn’t great, but Percy recognized him immediately. It was the Gotham supervillain Penguin, and Percy was on his godsdamned payroll."
