    Summary

    Wally gets a babysitting gig from an old friend.
    -
    Dick crouches to be at Damian’s eye level, and his voice suddenly takes on a brisk tone, one Wally associates so strongly with being assigned patrol routes that he twitches. “Wally, this is Damian, Damian, this is Wally. Wally is one of my very best friends. He is very important to me. You aren't going to stab him. This isn’t a debate,” Dick says, when Damian raises an eyebrow, “Or a rule. You can’t physically do it. He is much faster than you.”
    “I know what his powers are,” Damian says, sounding annoyed, and also like he considers them to be a fun challenge.
    “I would like it to be a rule,” Wally volunteers.
    -
    "Who’s the last person who saw him?" Jason asks Tim. "Did you talk to D- the kid? Nightwing never does anything without talking to him, what’d he say?”
    There’s a sudden, nervous silence.
    “Hey,” Jason says, dangerously, “Where is the kid?”
    “Hm,” Tim says. “He’s- in school -,”
    “On a Saturday? In July?” Tim makes a sound like a chipmunk in a trash compactor. “Tim, did you fuckin’ forget about the baby? Do not hang up on me-”
    “Don’t real name me at work!” Tim squawks, panicked, and hangs up.

    Summary

    Damian pulls out his phone and dials Richard’s number- his chauffeur has been unfortunately painstakingly instructed to answer no calls whatsoever from Damian, and Alfred has begun to pretend that phones do not exist during school hours. Unsurprisingly, as it is eight in the morning, it goes to voicemail. Damian waits impatiently for the beep. “Richard,” he says, in tones of the deeply suffering, “this place is a hostile environment. I must be collected post-haste, as after this latest indignity I am dropping out. Come at once, or I may die here.”

    The dynamic duo attend a parent-teacher conference. No one has a good day.

    Summary

    Hugo, medieval history nerd extraordinaire, did not expect to see Scorpius Malfoy, all-around pompous git, after Hogwarts at all, much less enrolled in the same course at university. So, of course, that’s exactly what happened.

    Summary

    As it turns out, rebirth is a real bastard of a thing. Once he’s no longer actively experiencing a critical internal organ repeatedly ripped from his chest cavity, Theo can almost appreciate the poetry of it.

     

     

    In which Theo Raeken goes to Hell, comes back again, and begins to put the pieces of himself back together - with his bruised knuckles and his bloody fingers and his hand-me-down heart.

    Summary

    “What are your feelings on the mutant threat?!” one of the reporters shouts, and Steve just looks at him.

    “I think anyone threatening mutants should be stopped,” he says calmly, and the swarm of reporters explodes, a dozen camera flashes going off at once.
