Everywhere I Turn There's the Ghost of You by Nerd_by_Definition for Kishirokitsune

Summary
A dizzying tension seemed to fill Dick’s head the longer he stared, obscuring any semblance of a reasonable thought. None of it made sense: the bright red outfit where every other Shadow wore black, the way his sword looked both natural and out of place in his skilled hands, the fact that he seemed oddly…familiar.
Was he even real?
“Is that a sword in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” The words slipped out before Dick could bite his tongue, and he found himself wishing the assassin would rethink his position on not killing him, if only to spare Dick any further humiliation. “That came out wrong…”
During a self-imposed sabbatical from the team, Dick encounters the strangest of mysteries in Gotham City involving the League of Shadows, a ninja dressed in Red, and a long-lost Robin he thought to be dead.

Summary
Dick knew it was dangerous. The list of every reason why it was a terrible idea flashed through his mind like a shrieking siren, but he still found himself taking Chance’s hand. Maybe just one more dance was all he needed to scratch that itch and be done with this. With him. For good, this time.

Summary
Like fathers, like sons, Tim sighed.
Wait. Fathers. Sons.“...Or maybe you two shouldn’t kiss. It’d be quite inappropriate, wouldn’t it?”
Payback never felt so sweet.
Dick tilted his head in confusion while Chance scowled at the interruption. “What do you mean, Robin?”
He painted on a face of innocence, waving to Bruce and Two-Face’s limping crawl in the distance. “I mean, they look pretty chummy over there. I know it’s been awhile, but didn’t they use to have a thing? I’m no expert, but it certainly looks like our dads could be reconnecting, if you know what I mean.”
Tim winked just to see the murderous glint in Chance’s eyes darken. Success.

Chicken Soup for the Superhero Soul by Traincat

Summary
“Ugh,” Johnny said. “Am I patient zero? Is New Attilan going to execute me for infecting the capital?”
Hank glanced at him, amused. “Unlikely. It really is no more dangerous than the common Earth cold. My recommendation is chicken soup and plenty of rest.”
“Ugh,” Johnny repeated forcefully. “This sucks.”

Summary
“I was…” Peter started, his voice funny, then stopped. “You were…”
“Peter,” Johnny snapped, feeling the ends of his hair start to flicker in flames. The sheets were him-proofed, which was good, because he could feel his fingertips begin to smoke.
Peter shook his head like he was trying to snap himself out of it. “I was – I was having an unproductive night of webbing up muggers, thought I’d drop in, see if you were still up, you know, thinking, gee, it’d be great to see some more of my ol’ friend Johnny Storm.” He cleared his throat. “And then I really saw some more of my ol’ friend, Johnny Storm.”

Summary
He was minding his own business, sitting in a movie theater in Queens, snacking on popcorn and wondering how many times he could make fun of Johnny Storm’s hair before Aunt May asked why he was so fixated, when the trailers ended, the lights went out, and Johnny appeared on the screen.
Peter’s mouth went dry, and it wasn't because of the popcorn.
Maybe it was the distance the movie gave him, Johnny up on a screen instead of right in front of him, warm and bright and frighteningly human. Maybe it was how endearingly terrible of an actor he was. Maybe it was the lighting.
It was, Peter thought, probably the cowboy boots.

Go Out and Find Ourselves a Home by Traincat

10 Dec 2017

Summary
The first time Peter learned about Johnny’s new digs, they’d just finished a fight – or rather, Peter had just finished the fight, because Johnny had passed out on him after a hastily executed fire show and would’ve met a bad end if Peter hadn’t caught him.
So now, ranting concrete monster safely in police custody, Peter was sitting on the sidewalk, one arm around Johnny so he didn’t fall over, trying to force him to drink the bottle of water he’d been well and truly price gouged for.

“You can’t possibly be…” Peter hesitated. “Johnny, you can’t be turned on by this.”
Johnny tilted his head to the side. “Uh, have you met me?”
“I have six arms!” Peter exclaimed.
