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
Breha Organa considered herself an intelligent woman. And yet, the stranger that crashed into her life stumped her. This so called Daisy Johnson wore oddities like a familiar robe, and Breha wasn't quite sure what to do with her. Though she was quite handy when it came to planning senatorial conferences, apparently. Just as she decided she quite liked the young woman who kept her on her toes, a young Jedi proclaimed that Daisy Johnson was dead in the Force. She could only hope her Hotshot was prepared for Daisy Johnson to take Coruscant by storm.

Summary
So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create.

Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.
Or

Summary
Peter was alone, mid-way through an existential crisis after the Erasure™ and was dreading the upcoming month of May.
Jason was sick of people telling him how he felt. ‘You don’t need us anymore,’ Artemis had told him, as if saying it would make it true. As if Jason needed someone to justify keeping them around. But three weeks back in Gotham and all Jason felt was fucking bored and lonely.
It was a relief, then, when some random New Yorker was thrown into his living room through a portal straight out of some LSD daydream.
Finally, something interesting to deal with.
Cue some wild family misunderstandings, criminal conspiracies and cults.
Because there’s always a goddamn cult.

Summary
Look, I’ll be the first to admit that I had never much bought into the whole pearly gates or eternal damnation business. I couldn’t tell you what I was expecting of the afterlife - but it sure as hell wasn't this.
Moody glowered. "What is with you today?"
I grinned back at him. Oh, you have no idea.
You died, the first time, on a random thursday afternoon. Waking up in the body of a young - and very much alive - Moaning Myrtle, you couldn't quite believe your luck. But alas, no rest for the newly deceased. There is work to be done. Between stopping Tom Riddle from opening the Chamber of Secrets, evading the Knights of Walpurgis, and figuring out just why Olive Hornby hates you so much, you’ve got a very busy afterlife.

Summary
It isn’t much later that he’s shifting his feet down a chilled sidewalk lit by the weariest streetlamp Peter Parker's ever seen. Peter looks up, bracing against the cold to examine it more closely. It reminds him of the historic cast-iron lamp posts he can sometimes find in New York. The light it casts is dim, barely lighting five feet. It flickers ever so often, dead bugs lining the bottom of the lamp.
Peter can’t help but feel a little sorry for it. He glances over, intent to continue, but in the faint light something catches his eye. Above leans an old building lined with chipped pillars. Stretched across the front is a tattered banner reading, ‘Thank You Gotham City!’
If anything, the banner makes him feel very unthankful. But that must be where he is, ‘Gotham City’. Place could use a laugh.

Summary
“Dick…”
Right. He needed to focus.
“Little Wing?” Dick’s tone lost the harshness to it, as if sensing that Jason was teetering on the edge. He could always tell when Jason needed the grounding. He always knew. Could feel it from a mile away.
“Dick, I think…I think you have a son.”He closed his eyes, surrendering to the darkness. He forced his heartbeat to slow, and an eerie calmness washed over his thoughts. The last image that flickered through his mind was Aunt May’s lifeless eyes.
Peter hoped he wouldn’t wake up again.
