    Summary

    "What could possibly make you stop just like that?"

    Sam anticipated this. Because there must be a reason Sam quit, why he'd forsake the family business, even when the rest of the family was dead and gone. Wanting to be safe or normal doesn't cut it anymore, not after Hell, and the Cage, and Leviathans.

    "A girl?" Dean prods, digging fingers into wounds Sam’s still visibly nursing. Knowing he's hit a pressure point, Dean latches on, unceasing: "Was there a girl?"

    For a moment, Sam imagines the truth. The sweet, fleeting satisfaction of bursting that bubble. Imagines if he told his brother: No. There was a boy.

    *
    AU of S8 where Sam falls in love with someone else, until the relationship takes an uncomfortably familiar turn.

    Summary

    Iroh had been worried that the gentle tea server from Ba Sing Se wouldn’t survive the Fire Palace. But he can see traces of him in this young prince, this almost-Fire Lord.

    Ozai didn’t crush Zuko the way he had intended. He survived. He grew strong, and gentle, and more honourable than Ozai could ever imagine.

    And Iroh is so proud of him.

     

    Follows Iroh’s thoughts on his nephew in Book 2 and Book 3 and beyond.

    Summary

    “Lan Luan-daifu says it looks like you’ve been undereating for months.”

    “I eat!” Wei Wuxian protests. “You watch me eat, Lan Zhan!” Why is he protesting? He knows exactly what he’s been fucking up, and Lan Zhan almost certainly has the shape of it if not the details. The words stick in his throat, fishbones to choke on, and he drinks more soup in a sullen attempt at washing them away.

    “Wei Ying,” Lan Zhan says, setting a hand on his too-wiry thigh. There’s a whole sentence in the name now, layers of meaning, and he says some of it out loud with, “What’s wrong?

    The fight goes out of Wei Wuxian. It’s finally easy to surrender: Lan Zhan knows. It’s humiliating, but he knows. “Ah, Lan Zhan,” he says quietly. “It’s… complicated.”

    Lan Zhan nods, his hand petting over Wei Wuxian’s leg in comforting arcs. “Then we can work together to fix it,” he says earnestly. “Tell me?”

    Or: Recovery is complicated.

    Summary

    “Aunt?” Wei Wuxian asks, looking at Wen Qing.
    “Who else do you think could handle being married to Jiang Cheng?” she says, tone deliberately casual. It’s very satisfying when his jaw drops and he goggles like a fish.
    “What did you people do while I was gone?” he shrieks.

    Wei Wuxian evacuates the Burial Mounds before they fall. Jin Zixun attacks before Jin Ling's birth. Yanli and Jin Zixuan survive and Jiang Cheng marries Wen Qing to protect the Wen Remnants. Thirteen years later Wei Wuxian returns from the dead to a very different world.

    Summary

    There’s a magician living in an abandoned warehouse down on the Tricorner Docks.

    Park Row has its fair share of strange tales and rumors floating through the cracks. The kids of the alley talk at length, telling ghost stories and cautionary tales. Passing advice on how to survive from one night to the next in the form of fun little parables that make the cold nights feel a little bit warmer, and maybe let them pretend that their lives are all a fun little game, just for a few moments.

    The magician, at first, feels like a fable. Something that a kid saw and read just a little bit wrong and didn’t wait around to find out what was really going on. The kid who spotted the magician – a 9 year old red-head with green eyes and a smattering of freckles across his pale face – tells the tale like a myth.

    A magician with golden hair and golden eyes, who clapped his hands together and rebuilt a car from scraps with a flash of light. Taking nothing in payment but a bottle of whiskey and a home-cooked meal.

    (Or: The one where Edward Elric ends up in Gotham, decides Jason Todd is his, and makes it Bruce Wayne's problem.)

    Summary

    The Wraith had always thought that he was doing the right thing serving as Reaper for the Spirit who'd found him, but when his prey begins acting in ways which make him question that, things in The Entity's realm start to go in directions it won't allow. Any time those barely surviving choose to take a stand, there is always a price to pay, and in a cyclical living nightmare like this, how much can the survivors really afford to believe in?

    Is it truly possible for there to be any good end when you're already in hell?

    Summary

    What now?

    It takes him a moment to realize he hasn’t the faintest bloody clue. Is he supposed to get up tomorrow and go to work, fall back into normal life like nothing’s changed? Discuss the latest Bake Off episode around the water cooler? Does he even still have a job, after being held in Sweden for days longer than planned as the police investigated?

    Summary

    Tim is alone when he finds Poison Ivy's base of operations. Is it really his fault that he was left unsupervised in the presence of some groundbreaking new natural stimulants?

    He's never gone this long without a Monster energy drink, ever. And the side effects are barely worth mentioning.

    “I’m Tim,” he says, though introducing himself to a puppy makes him flush in embarrassment. “Are you hungry?”

    The dog blinks at him, all scared eyes.

    Summary


    or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.

     

    Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.

    Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.

    Summary

    It's not *Tim's* fault Batman slept with his mom sixteen years ago, or Tim's fault that Bruce Wayne regrets signing away his parental rights fifteen years ago, but Jack Drake sure thinks it is. Now Damian is bugging him about cows and family and Jason and Dick won't stop kidnapping him and Bruce is acting like court orders don't matter, like he doesn't have a huge bat-shaped secret to protect from literally the whole freaking world.

    Why is Tim the only functioning adult in this situation?

    This was supposed to be coated in angst, but it fell in the fluff bucket instead. (So, update, some people are saying this may not be as fluffy as I am advertising it. I plead the 5th.)

    Summary

    Apparently, Mr. Oz decided psychologically torturing a 15 year-old for six months was no longer "cool." And now Tim's paying the price for that, because instead of killing him like any good, self-respecting villain would, he's dropped him back on Earth with an apology and a snack.

    Or,

    It's been six months for Tim. It's been 10 years for Tim's family.

    I'm sure it will all be fine.

    Summary

    Life is pleasant, death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome. - Isaac Asimov

    Danny lives in the transition. He was half alive, half dead, and honestly sick of both. Good thing he has family to pull him back from the edge.

    ...

    A Danny & Damian twin AU where Danny goes to Gotham and is immediately fed up with the Bats' shenanigans. At least it isn't paperwork.

    Summary

    When he decides to disappear on a “solo camping trip” and run away to Canada, he figures it’s the perfect plan that will make everybody happy. He didn’t expect the Waynes would tag along with him and ruin everything.

    A six-chaptered tale filled with identity shenanigans, s’mores, soon-to-be-brothers, and a kid who is in desperate need of a new family.

    Summary

    Hitoshi feels strange. At first, he thinks he’s dissociating, as he dodges out of the way of Aizawa’s capture scarf, because it feels weird and distant and floaty. His vision is shifting, strangely. It’s not motion, not really, but instead it’s in the colors. The reflection of the warm lights in the metal floor is oddly cool toned, and as Hitoshi stares at it, it ripples, and the reflection grows a halo, like when Hitoshi is really tired and looking at a street lamp at night. He glances up, and the ceiling lights are doing the same thing, growing rainbow halos and shifting from warm to cool and back again. Hitoshi feels unbalanced, all of a sudden, but he isn’t moving.

    (or 5 times hitoshi has an episode and doesn't tell anyone + 1 time he does)
