Summary
“Happy Hanukkah,” Ned said. Peter could hear him typing, presumably pulling up classified medical documents from Mr. Stark’s system about the Diplomatic Space Incident the previous night. “You got…eight days of quarantine.”
“Aunt May is going to kill me,” Peter moaned.
“She’ll have time to calm down,” Ned said, trying to sound helpful. “You really got, like, two weeks. But eight days sounded funnier.”

“This is a new horse,” Jaskier says uncertainly.
“Hm,” Geralt grunts, which Jaskier probably should have expected.

Summary
“I just had the best idea I have ever had in my life,” Bucky said, punching straight through a doombot with his metal hand and clutching the napkin with Steve’s phone number in the other. The formerly (somewhat) dark and peaceful corner of Central Park was now lit up with energy beams, flashing robotic lights, and panicked astronomy buffs running for cover. Oh well, it wasn't like they'd been going to see many stars what with all the Christmas shit everywhere.
“The bar you are setting for that is not high,” Natasha told him over the coms.

Summary
“MARRIED?”
“Basically married. Permanently engaged anyway. Weres have their own deal.” Natasha sounds much, much too gleeful about Steve’s rapidly expanding personal hell. “So you better wake your blushing bride and tell him the happy news: that it was an accident and you had no idea what you were doing.”
“I,” Steve says, strangled. “I can’t do that!”
“You can’t?”
“He thought I was proposing! And he accepted!”
“Wow, maybe he’s just as dumb as you are,” Natasha says thoughtfully.
“I can’t just promise him a ring, take him home, drink from him three times in a row and then wake him up the next morning to say oops, just kidding!” Steve casts around, looking at his wreck of an apartment. “I don’t even have any good champagne!”

Summary
Arguing and corpses. That's it. That's the whole fic. Oh and sex.
I will probably add one or two one shots that are incidental to the plot, and MAAYYYYYBBEEEE write a third, but for now, this series is complete.

Summary
He really couldn’t have done anything else, though. He’d had to name her what he would’ve named her, if Kon had really been . . . if she’d really been . . .
He’d had to.
That’s the best way to lie, after all: use the truth.

Summary
Talon felt surprisingly alert as he watched the Owls file in. They were each escorted to their table by a sharp-eyed Talon, one hand resting on their knife and the other keeping a firm hold on their charge. It reminded Talon of how Grandfather used to walk with him, when he wasn’t sure if he’d need to cut out Talon’s heart in order to keep him in check.
He used to be so, so bad. He was very lucky that the Court taught him to be good. Talon tried to remember that, even as his head got fuzzier at the sight of his opponent.
It was an owlet.
He was small, almost as small as Talon. His clothes hung off of him like a scarecrow. Angry, narrowed eyes flitted across the room as he was dragged forward by a Talon on both sides. His mouth was pressed in a thin line, but still he tried to bite the hands hoisting him up. Talon nearly cooed. He had teeth!
or, The Talon that used to be Dick Grayson is tasked with killing a street rat when a deal for the Court goes south. It doesn't go smoothly, but Jason's pretty grateful for that.

Summary
Perhaps it should concern Dick that Tim thinks, as Jason once did, that he’s the only thing keeping Dick and Bruce from fighting when Alfred isn’t around. That the boy seems to think that his presence is the sole reason why they’re not at each other's throats whenever they’re around each other.
It should be a concern.
“You can’t hold his hand through everything, Nightwing,” Bruce tells him from where he’s sitting, facing away from the rest of the cave. It’s not quite a scolding-the tone is more vaguely annoyed and flat instead of chiding, but it makes Dick grit his teeth anyway. “He needs to learn to handle his own responsibilities.”
But the truth of the matter is that the kid is just plain right.

Summary
"Shhh," Percy's saying, so quiet Jason can barely hear him. His thumb brushes against Jason's temple again, and there's the pressure, cracking and bursting like a bullet exploding from the barrel of a gun. Percy blurs and smears above. Hold on, Jason thinks, hold on. "Everything's gonna be fine, okay?" Jason watches as he swallows, hard, comes back into crystal clarity as he manages a shaky smile cast down Jason's way, for Jason's sake. "I've got you, Jay."
"I know," Jason says easily. Percy's smearing again, into a mess of light and shadow, but at least he's here. At least his fingers are somehow warm against Jason's already cooling skin, passing back and forth against Jason's forehead. "You know," he says. "It's not such a bad way to go."
Percy's face shakes into a haze, cracks open into the swirling streetlight glow. "Jason," he says simply, and his voice sounds thick, wet and sticky. "Jason, hey—"
Hold on, Jason thinks, hold on, but then even that slips away and there's nothing.
***
Jason Todd dies on the job. It's possible Percy Grant loses his shit a bit.
