    Summary

    Lan Xichen is the right person for him.

    And yet.

    And yet Jiang Cheng shudders when Lan Xichen slides his hands over his exposed sides, to grip his hips. He shudders when Lan Xichen sucks kiss after kiss into the thin skin covering his throat. He shudders when Lan Xichen opens the button of his jeans.

    It’s not in pleasure.

    Summary

    "It. Wasn’t. You,” Vax’ildan repeats, every word heavy and angry enough to make Percy look back down at the dark man. “You wouldn’t do that. You wouldn’t turn on us. You would never hurt your family.”

    It suddenly dawns on Percy that, despite his own egocentrism, perhaps this conversation isn't entirely about himself.

    Summary

    They say when you assume you make an ass of you and me.

    Matt wishes that the Avenger's assumptions about his seeming inability to read the written word did something as benign as making an ass of him and them. Being called illiterate shouldn't hurt, not when he knows he's not, and it's not like he can tell them the truth.

    Not that the truth would make much difference. He's just going to have to grin and bear it.

    If he can.

    Summary

    There was a new vigilante in his city: a man who smiled too much and talked too loud and knew his way around a fight a little too well. Bruce wasn't bothered by his antics. Except the man also seemed to know a little too much about him.

    Who was this Nightwing, anyway?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “You talk too much,” Bruce observed one day.
    “So I’ve been told,” said Robin with a grin. “But it’s a feature, not a bug.”

    Mixed in among those moves were a few moves that Bruce clearly recognized.
    “You’re League-trained,” he said, when he couldn’t keep that observation to himself for a second longer.
    “Not really. Me and Ra’s al Ghul never got along. And by that, I mean I would happily kick him off a cliff given half the chance.”
    “I thought you didn’t kill people.”
    He snorted. “As if Ra’s would die from a fall like that.”

    So Robin had left after all —
    — No wait, there he was at the very back of the tent. Bruce squinted. Robin was pressed right up against the curtained doorway, his shoulders illuminated by the glowing EXIT sign. Half his body was turned away from the stage, as if he expected to duck out at any second. Both his hands were pressed over his mouth.
    Bruce heard it before he saw it.
    The telltale — snap — made his blood freeze. Below him, one of the trapeze lines flew free.

    “But why…why force yourself to…?”
    “Someone had to be there for him, B. If it couldn’t be you, then it’d have to be me.”
    He remembered Robin begging him to watch the show, and all the times he’d refused. “I’m sorry. I — you shouldn’t have had to see that again.”
    “But I didn’t. Because you saved them, B. You saved them.”

    He swallowed. “We didn’t always get along, or like each other. And we’ve had some truly epic fights. But I still wouldn’t have changed a thing.”
    Bruce’s next words come without any conscious thought from him — a long-held suspicion finally given shape and form. “Your Bruce is dead, isn’t he.”
    “I — what? How did you know?” His eyes go wide.
    “Why else would you be wearing the cowl?” He knew he was right when Dick blinked hard and looked away. “I saw the way you looked at John and Mary Grayson, and I realized. That’s how you look at me, sometimes. Like you’re seeing someone dead come back to life.”
