    Summary

    “Do you know what I think?” he asked, not even bothering to wipe the small amount of spit Dick had managed to land off of his face. “I think you like it. I think you like it when I treat you this way. I think deep down you know just as well as I do that you deserve it.”
    “I think you’re a fucking creep,” Dick replied. “I think you’re a monster.”
    “Maybe, maybe not,” Slade stood, making his way back towards the doorway. He lingered for a moment, looking at Dick as a predator might at a prey they had just caught. “But if I’m such a monster like you claim, why did it take so long to realize?”
    Dick blinked, forcing himself to breathe.
    “I thought you were supposed to be good at your job.”

    Dick is back with Slade, which is the very last place he'd like to be. His family will stop at nothing to get him back.

    Summary

    When a teacher calls CPS, Tim finds himself at the center of a home inspection Wayne Manor is far from ready to pass. It won't be easy convincing CPS that Tim Drake is safe, wanted, and loved in the Wayne home. Not when everyone knows he's only useful as Robin.

    It's time for Tim to put on the performance of a lifetime, or risk being benched for good.

    --

    Tim's never felt more alive than wearing Jason's colors. He won't let them go that easy.

    Summary

    Jason gets what he wants. And for some reason, it hurts every time.

    or Jason and his relationship with money, told in three parts.

    or or Jason thinks that, objectively, $100 is a lot of money. This also happens to be the price of his virginity at 11, his weekly allowance at 13, and the cost of the bottle of wine Tim buys him at 23.

    Summary

    When Match fails to complete his mission to kill Project Thirteen, he takes the unconscious idiot on the road as he flees for his life, defecting from the organization that created and raised him. He makes it less than three hours before his newfound freedom is stripped away and he is taken into Justice League custody.

    Match doesn't have high hopes for the future, especially not once he finds out that he's going to be kept in Batman's custody, but he's at the very least starting to think he might be able to avoid decommissioning if he plays his cards right.

    Too bad for him that he's never been any good at cards.

    ||I just wanted to write pathetic Match. If you don't know who Match is, that is fine. He's a clone of Kon and that's really all you need to know. And also for a note on canon, why would a copy of a copy be closer to the original than the primary copy? That makes no sense. match should be less powerful than Conner on paper and I'll die on that hill. This will have infrequent updates.||

    Summary

    Tim's long done with the report, but he keeps putting off leaving. He isn't sure what he's waiting for. His fingers haven't moved in a long time, and his mind stutters and glitches oddly, tripping over capitalism and greed and chocolate cupcakes and cheeks eaten away by fish in the harbor.

    Finally, near sunrise, Bruce turns toward him, and everything goes still and silent, like something buried in the tender place beneath Tim's rib cage is holding its breath.

    Summary

    Jason gives him an exasperated look as they get to the front door. “Seriously, Dick. I’m fine. Promise. I’ve had a helluva lot worse than this, and still managed a patrol, with a lot less sleep than this. I’ll take it easy, keep the ass-kickin’ to a minimum tonight, alright?” He says with a grin. And fuck the things Dick would do for that grin. It erases the hard edges, the cold and calculating Red Hood, leaving behind a mischievous looking young man, rather than a younger version of Bruce.

    So he sighs. “Fine. Just call me if you need anything, okay? I’m gonna be in town for a few days anyways, until we get this Two-Face thing figured out, so it’s not like it’s out of my way,” Dick says as he steps outside into the driveway. “Besides, it’d be nice to hang out more often.”

    Jason gives Dick an unsure look, and for a moment, Dick can feel his heart sink a bit. Did Jason not enjoy their breakfast? Dick had intruded, to be fair, but Jason had seemed to enjoy -

    “Yeah? You wanna hang?”

    Summary

    Things had been good for Conner since the court awarded him personhood two and a half years ago. He's finally graduated high school, and he's even going to college at Metropolis University once summer ends. He's determined to make the most of his break to spend time with the people he cares about and to celebrate just how far he's come.

    These plans fall by the wayside when Clark begins to inexplicably seek Conner out each night and forget what he's done by morning. Conner finds himself adrift in a world in which nowhere is safe, no one can help, and nothing he does ever changes the outcome. Is there any way out that won't further victimize them both? And does Clark really believe the things he says when the sun goes down?
    -
    When Conner begins behaving strangely, Clark isn't sure if the boy is just having a hard time around him again because of their early history, or if something more sinister is at work. Determined to be there for the kid he's come to see as a son, he begins investigating, but he has a hard time making any progress in the face of the boy's resistance. Can Clark save Conner before it's too late?

    A sequel to Sunshine.

    Summary

    There were a lot of maybes and Dick just didn’t have the energy to try to sort through them all. He was tired, though it wasn’t an exhaustion that was the product of not enough sleep. It ran deeper than that, right through his skin and organs and veins and nestled deep within his bones; a weariness that had been growing ever so slowly over the years and had finally overtaken so much of his body, had dug its roots so far down that it would be impossible to separate one from the other.
    ---
    Dick tries to go back to work, tries to make sure everything goes back to the way it was, but he can't help but feel as if the past isn't done with him quite yet.

    Summary

    "I don't know why we're wasting our time with him," says Dick. "Just tell him he's not good enough already."

    It's a hallucination, like all the rest. Objectively, Tim understands that.

    But he feels the words like an icepick in his chest all the same, and a part of him knows. This version of Dick might not be real, these words might not be real, but what he's saying is true anyway.

    "Are you fucking listening to me?" says the man in the red helmet. "The big bad bat's not coming to save you." There's a crash, and when Tim turns toward it, his desk's been overturned. His laptop is lying on the floor in a tangle of cords. If any of this were actually happening, Tim might be afraid that it was broken.

    Summary

    “I've been doing better lately.” Hitoshi says it like he believes it, and he does, but he still finds himself looking to Aizawa for confirmation.

    Aizawa opens his eyes at his words, blinking slowly at Hitoshi, “You have.”

    “And you guys are really great. You’re um,” He stumbles here, warring between ungrateful and you're asking for it, “You're really good to me. I've got everything I've ever wanted.” 

    Aizawa nods, listening. 

    So why do I still miss it?"

    Or, learning to let go of the horrors you've enjoyed.

    Summary

    Tim asks to ride home with Dick from the hospital, and no one fights him on it.

    Which is why he waits until they're in the car and on the road before he tells Dick he wants to go to Bludhaven instead.

    Summary

    “Dick!”
    Dick wasn't sure when exactly the world seemed to shift, his eyes staring steadily up at the sunset painted sky of Gotham. As a matter of fact, he wasn't too sure when he'd ended up on his back, his hair getting caught in all sorts of broken pavement pieces and miscellaneous bits of trash. He would have spent more time worrying about catching something if his shoulder didn't hurt so much.
    “Oh, God, Dick, hang on, let me get the bag!”
    Whoever was talking sounded as if they were underwater, or perhaps speaking through a busted radio. Dick blinked, his right hand rising towards his opposite shoulder. He didn't get far before something that felt vaguely like a hand wrapped in a nitrate glove wrapped around his wrist before he could make contact.
    “Jesus, don't touch it! Goddamn it! Dispatch, this is Medic 437, we have a medic down, we need ALS and PD backup now!”

    Dick Grayson is having a pretty terrible day and it all started with Tim Drake wanting to be a paramedic...

    Summary

    I: It’s no secret that you are dating your co-writer and co-star Reece Shearsmith. Fans want to know if there’s a chance that wedding bells are ringing any time soon for the two of you?

    SP: (laughs) Is there- do they really call it ‘dating’? Is that what we’re doing?

    I: What would you call it?

    SP: I wouldn’t call it anything.

    Reece wonders if Mark and Jeremy saw this part, too. He wonders if anyone else saw, and if it came as much of a surprise to them as it came to him, or if they all fucking knew, if everyone was in on it except for Reece.

    He rewinds, and rewinds, and rewinds, and then he punches the marble kitchen counter.

    Summary

    There are cops in the ED when Dennis arrives for his shift.

    Not necessarily unusual, sure, but he could've done without the unwelcome news that there's a knife-wielding maniac on the loose in their immediate vicinity.

    Figures this would happen on a Monday.

    Summary

    Steve takes a step closer to him, and when Reece steps back on instinct, his expression turns smug and self-satisfied, which is the worst expression anyone could have, in Reece’s opinion.

    “See?” Steve says. ”You’re doing it right now! Being afraid of werewolves is nothing to be ashamed of.”

    Reece feels a vein in his forehead pulse. He steps back closer to Steve, whose eyes widen.

    “It’s got nothing to do with you, if you can believe that! I’m just tired of all them cunts thinking they can touch me ‘cause of my stupid fucking mark.”

    “What mark?” Steve asks, sounding genuinely bewildered.

    *

    It’s supposed to be a sign of good luck, being marked by the goddess of luck herself. Of course, for someone whose touch supposedly improves people's fortunes, Reece's own luck has always been abysmal.

    Summary

    Shane reached out without thinking, his fingers brushing against the rough fabric of Ilya’s jacket sleeve.

    Ilya flinched away. “Dun’ touch me!”

    Shane blinked, thrown. “What the - ”

    “I already have boyfriend!” Ilya declared, pulling his jacket around himself like a shield. “Are practically engaged!”

    Shane just stared. “Ilya. It’s me.”

    “Only my boyfriend may unwrap me.” Ilya announced. “Is respect.”

    Ilya gets drunk and refuses to be touched by anyone except his boyfriend. Unfortunately for Shane, Ilya does not realize his boyfriend is the one taking him home.

    Summary

    Kon looks at him, then looks back at the horizon. “Do you ever see all these windows and just start wondering about other people’s lives?”

    Not really. “Not sure I get what you mean there, Superboy.”

    Kon points. “That building right there. All lit up. With the offices.” Tim sees it. “I think about who is inside it sometimes. I wish I could trade places. Just to know what it’s like.”

    “Know what it’s like?”

    Kon isn’t looking at Tim. “To be someone else.”

    “I don’t want to be someone else,” Tim replies. “I just don’t think I want to be me.”

    “Me too.”

    “You too?”

    “All the time,” Kon says.

    Tim Drake turns 21. His relationship with his boyfriend is falling apart. His brother is dying. His future is unclear. Jello shots are disgusting. He’s Robin and he’s teetering on the precipice of the rest of his life. He’s in love with his best friend. His brother is dying. His parents are dead. Bruce is his partner and he is Robin. He’s not in love with his boyfriend. He is finally 21.

    Or how to come of age with grief.

    Summary

    Steve still isn’t moving. His eyes are open, but they’re not looking at anything and he hasn’t moved from where he sprawled back on the floor after Dustin hit him. He hadn’t swung that hard. He hadn’t. He couldn’t have. That’s not what happened. 

    “Steve?” Dustin says, scooting closer to him on the ground. 

    Steve jerks to look at him, but only his eyes really move, like he’s responding to sound, not responding to his name, and then his eyes roll right back into his head, and Steve starts seizing.
