    Summary

    “Can I ask you something?”

    There’s a flash of what looks like fear that crosses Ilya's face before he sits back, his posture slightly closed off as his arms cross in front of his chest. “Depends on what it is,” he says, eyes somewhat steely.

    She gets why people are intimidated by him on the ice.

    “Why Ottawa?” She knows it’s something everyone has been asking, but she feels like it’s a legitimate thing to ask. “I mean, I get maybe you’re not happy in Boston, but you could have gone anywhere.”

    “Not anywhere,” he says with an almost pout.

    “But almost anywhere.”

    He lets out a long breath of air through his nose. “I know it does not make sense, but it should not have to make sense to anyone but me.”

    Kate tilts her head to the side, appraising him from across the table. “That’s not an answer.”

    Ilya shrugs, but he holds her gaze steadily. “Maybe one day you will understand. But for now, know I am where I am supposed to be.”

    And who is she to argue with that?

    __

    Or, everyone asks 'why Ottawa?' Ilya's neighbor, Kate, just happens to figure it out first.

    Summary

    "Hob," Dream says suddenly, and his voice has changed. "Do you remember your parents? Were they... were they kind?"

    Oh.

    The question is so unexpected that it catches somewhere around his solar plexus like a blow. Hob is struck, suddenly, by twin memories that fit together like discordant notes in a song: a hand running soft and gentle through his hair, and a voice raised in fury.

    A cold thread twists and twines its way between his ribs. He cannot help remembering what Lucienne said to him that terrible night when he found out Dream was dead.

    Not all parents love their children.

     

    (Dream and Hob settle into their new lives. There is pain that they cannot help but bring with them, but there is also healing, and there is hope.)

    Can confirm that Red Hood wears a second mask under his hood for some reason. He’s not bald, but he does have awful helmet hair if anyone was wondering why im only giving him four stars

    A Gotham University student launches a forum website for rating the local vigilantes, mainly as a joke. As things tend to do in Gotham, it spirals out of control.

    Summary

    Within his Fortress of Solitude, he was very much not alone. There, swaddled in his cape, the baby slept against his chest. Krypto kept sniffing at the cape, desperately trying to understand why something that smelled like LexCorp was brought back to the Arctic with Clark. But as soon as the dog found a face attached to the upsetting smell, Krypto hadn’t stopped wagging his tail.

    Summary

     Nightwing was by no means a stranger, which is what made it all the more confusing when Clark found everything he knew about the hero reconstructed before his very eyes.

    Or

    No one in the Justice League knows that Batman and Nightwing know each other, but that suddenly changes when Nightwing is hurt during an invasion.
