    Summary

    Jaskier jolted awake with a gasp.

    His hands were on fire. They were burning, the pain so bright and fierce he couldn’t think.

    He stumbled blindly through the darkness of the cabin, trying to get outside. He needed to put out the fire.

    Summary

    The Emperor was phasing clone troopers out, replacing them with natborn stormtroopers. Of course, this took time, even in a regime as efficient as the Galactic Empire. It would be several years before the last clone troopers would be replaced with stormtroopers.

    In the meantime, it was CC-2224’s job to keep the remaining clone troopers operating as efficiently as possible in service to the Empire. Which led to CC-2224’s biggest problem: clone troopers were self-destructing at an alarming rate.

    Summary

    Rex watched the display as the numbers ticked down. Just thirty more floors to go. Then twenty five. About halfway through the descent, the turbolift stopped. The door slid open and Rex stepped to the side and shifted into parade rest for whoever was getting on.

    He glanced over, and was immediately grateful for the helmet covering up the way his jaw dropped to the floor as the hulking, black-clad figure stepped into the turbolift, boots clanking heavily across the metal flooring, breath whistling with an unnatural hiss, face covered with an expressionless, terrifying, obsidian mask.

    Summary

    The alchemist held a bottle of thunderbolt up to the window. The green liquid shimmered in the light.

    “Your potions allow Witchers to achieve incredible feats. What would happen if a human took them?”

    “Nothing good,” Geralt said bluntly.

    “Hmm. I would be remiss as a scientist if I did not test the theory myself.”

    Geralt snarled as the alchemist approached Jaskier, holding the bottle of thunderbolt, intentions clear.

    Summary

    Jason wasn’t scared of bugs. He wasn’t.

    Seeing them didn’t bother him.

    It was just the crawling.

    That was the thing with his flashbacks, he could get over the visual reminders, the sounds, the smells, but he couldn’t escape the physical sensations.

    Summary

    The bounty hunter carried a blaster on his hip and held a metal pipe loosely in his fist. “Here’s what’s going to happen,” he said, “You’re going to tell me what I need to know and things don’t need to get ugly.”

    He hit the pipe into his palm for emphasis while Kenobi stared on, unimpressed. “I’m afraid the answer is still no. And frankly, you need to work on your-”

    There was a whistle, and then the pipe was impacting the General’s side, cutting him off mid sentence.

    Summary

    Jason huddled in on himself, sticking his gloved hands into his jacket pockets and tucking his chin further into the collar of his hood. He watched through the window as everyone sat around the table. Alfred. Bruce. Dick. Barbara. Tim. Stephanie. They were getting along. Laughing and talking and passing things to each other without complaint.

    And Jason? Jason was standing out in the cold.

    Alone.

    Summary

    It was only because he was distracted by their argument that Geralt didn’t notice the movement under the surface of the water until it was too late. Just as he finished speaking, a tentacle wrapped around his ankle and yanked him into the deeper pool.

    Caught by surprise, it took Geralt a second to react. For a Witcher, a single second could mean the difference between life and death.

    Summary

    Timothy Drake may be a child, but he was smart. Smart enough to know that his parents were up to some shady things. Shadier than just the occasional illegal smuggling of archaeological artifacts.

    Unfortunately for Tim, he was about to become an unwilling participant.

    Summary

    In Geralt's life, more often than not, touch meant pain. From being held down during the trials, to blows exchanged during fights, every unpleasant touch of skin against skin was only amplified by his enhanced senses.

    The only people who he trusted to respect his boundaries, whose touch brought comfort instead of pain, were Eskel, Lambert, and Vesemir. He only saw them during winter, but that was fine. He could go nine months of the year without friendly touch; he'd been doing it for decades. It was better this way, better for everyone.

    The bard that started following him around might disagree.

    Summary

    Barbara glanced at the other monitor just in time to see a large thug who rivaled Batman in size and muscle, kick Batman straight in the chest. He fell backwards and didn’t get back up.

    Barbara had only a second to wonder what was wrong before an alarm started blaring. Batman’s suit wasn’t detecting a pulse.

    Summary

    Jaskier looked down at his arm. The cut was not terribly long, yet it must have been deep, for blood was flowing out of it like a waterfall, running down his hand in rivulets and dripping off his fingers into the dirt below.

    Oh. That’s not good.

    Summary

    A clone lay slumped against a boulder where he had been thrown by an explosion. The front of his armor was twisted and blackened from heat. Kix might have thought him dead if not for the rapid rising and falling of his chest.

    “Hey vod,” he said, slipping into the calm, even voice he always used when treating injured brothers.

    Summary

    Geralt stood stiffly, hand held to his stomach where his tunic was slowly becoming wet with crimson. The blood continued to flow through his fingers despite the pressure he applied. He could feel the wound sapping his life force like a vampire.

    Geralt needed help if he was to survive this.

    Summary

    Jaskier looked down at his leg. The scratches were red and inflamed, some beginning to weep a small amount of… something.

    He would be fine. They were just tiny scratches, even if they had gotten a bit infected. Nothing to worry about at all.

    Summary

    Bruce Wayne had never pictured himself as parent material. He was quickly learning that parenting was more emotionally involved than he realized, especially when his kids all came with varying levels of trauma.

    Or, four first hugs over the years, one with each of Bruce's sons.

    Summary

    “Geralt!” He called as he caught sight of that familiar white hair. Jaskier grinned, speeding up to reach his friend quicker.

    Geralt stared at him with an unreadable expression, saying nothing. Then, he punched Jaskier in the stomach, hard. Before he could recover enough to ask Geralt ‘What the fuck?’ Geralt punched him again. And again. The blows rained down, Jaskier forced to curl himself into a ball in an attempt to protect his most vulnerable parts from the onslaught.

    Summary

    When the sorceress cursed him, saying that his family would experience pain and misfortune for the rest of their days, Tim laughed in her face.

    Tim’s parents were dead, and it wasn’t like they had ever cared about him anyway. He had no siblings, no aunts, or uncles, or cousins. He had no family to curse.

    When things start going wrong for the entire Batfamily, Tim realizes that he might have misinterpreted what the curse meant by “family.”

    Summary

    It had been…weeks.

    Leonard wasn’t counting the exact days. Frankly he didn’t want to know. Knowing wouldn’t help anything except to count down the days until they all died of starvation. The last of the food had run out days ago, though they had been down to a single bite a day for some time before that. He thought he had known what hunger was. He hadn't. Not even close.

    Leonard begins to contemplate something unspeakable.
