    Summary

    “You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”

    Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”

    The rain continues falling.

    (And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.

    And Olruggio forgets.)

    There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

    Summary

    He understands. Of course he does. If he were to write out the deepest desire of his heart onto pages like a poet deeply in love, it would become a melody sung across the four corners of the land. But it's condemned to remain only a dream, a heart locked in chains like a box that cannot be opened.

    "Qifrey, say something," says Olruggio, faintly. Even now, even in this desperate state, he's as gentle, as thoughtful as ever. Even while wanting him to answer, his words offer Qifrey the space to shatter his heart, the gap to slip away into, to flee.

    "You understand me, don't you?" he asks once more.

    The one time Qifrey attempts to leave.

    Summary

    With his world having fallen apart Batman is sent spinning through dimensions only to find himself stuck in one that is difficult for him to navigate. Let no one say that the Batman goes down easy. The only thing that matters is the mission. The fact that his parents are alive here doesn't matter.

    They aren't his parents anyway and he is not their son. Not really. Or, that's what he keeps telling himself.
