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.

Summary
It starts when Nightwing accidentally calls Batman dad.
Barry thinks it's perhaps the funniest thing to happen in the history of ever. Then, he starts to notice that The Dark Knight actually does—kinda sorta maybe—act like a dad to the Gotham vigilantes?
It only gets weirder from there.
OR
5 times the League saw the Gotham vigilantes treating Batman as their dad, and 1 time they (kind of) admitted it.

Summary
“Tony,” Tony says, “Stark.” He watches the kid’s face for any hint of recognition but there’s none.
“Hence why those guys want you to build a Stark missile.”
“Right.”
The kid snorts, “what, do you work in R&D at your own company?” When Tony just gives him a blank look he clears his throat, “nevermind. So if you can build a missile I bet you can figure out a way to get us out of here.”
Tony sighs, turning his face away. He’s so tired. “I can’t build them that weapon, kid.”
Now it’s the kid’s turn to look confused. “Then build something else,” he says simply.
**
Or, AU where Dick Grayson has an unfortunate run in with a wizard in Gotham City and finds himself tossed across the multiverse to a cave in Afghanistan with a billionaire who hasn't gone through his self-improvement journey yet.

Summary
The Asset stares at the child. The child is, presumably, staring back from behind the creepy white lenses of his domino mask, but it’s impossible to know for sure.
“Where in the everloving shit are your parents?” the Asset demands.
“Dead,” the kid says promptly, and grins at him again before darting forward to examine the restraints. “I got this, don’t worry.”
“I got questions for your legal guardian,” the Asset growls.

Summary
Gotham City Police Department Detective (Senior Grade) Sally "Sal" Yun's most recent sting netted Internal Affairs and the FBI forty-three felony indictments against eight GCPD officers and netted Sal a promotion to Detective Senior Grade, a prestigious transfer to Major Crimes, and a quiet personal promise from Chief Vitelli that Senior Grade was as far as she would go.
Sal's caught a new case. It seems Vice has lost one of their informants and they’ve decided to dump the case on Major Crimes after the snitch told somebody that a dead rogue called the “Red Hood” was back in town.

"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Summary
It should be hilarious when Dick gets de-aged: another brown-haired baby to throw into the playpen, this one no doubt climbing everything in sight and cheerfully babbling nonstop. Only Jason isn’t staring at a cheerful toddler. He’s looking down at a tiny, badly bruised child, shaking in his little Nightwing suit, staring up at Jason with poorly concealed terror.
(The de-aging, and the aftermath, and Dick and Jason Going Through It.)
