Summary
Shinjiro raises an eyebrow again, because that’s enough of an answer for him anyway. “Yeah, that checks out. I can hear Junpei snoring from across the fuckin’ hall.”
This time, Makoto’s lip curls into something resembling a smirk, but he remains quiet.
Shinjiro finds that he doesn’t really mind the lack of responses. Especially since slowly, this terribly weird kid is easing out of his bent position hung over the railing, and now he’s looking up at the sky like literally anyone more normal would do. His reaches his hands out behind him so he can slouch into his arms, like he didn’t just spend however long dizzyingly close to nose-diving off their building.
He watches the kid’s fingers tap against the concrete in a rhythmic motion, to the beat of the double-bass drum he can hear blaring from the headphones still. He has no idea how this boy isn’t deaf by now, if his music is always this loud, and yet he seems as calm and collected as ever.
Tartarus will be an interesting ride with this kid at the helm, he thinks.

Summary
“And for you? We have an excellent batch of nonalcoholic Apple Cider on tap at the moment, as well as a Wolfhook mocktail that Charles recently perfected.”
The Traveler furrowed her brows, looking far more contemplative than Diluc had ever seen her appear over a choice of drink.
“Could I have a glass of dandelion wine?”
…
Over her first taste of Mondstadt’s famous dandelion wine, the Traveler bares her soul, and Diluc and Kaeya learn to appreciate the family they still have.Bookmarked by StrayStorm86

Playing audio...
Jason's laughter has turned into breathless, silent cries. Damian barrels on, seemingly unbothered by his state.
"-And during all this I'm trying to subtly switch back to using people's actual names; except it fucking backfired because people just assumed I was calling Richard 'Richard' because we had that special parental mentor bond, and Tim had pissed off to- whatever he was doing in the desert for six months- getting a hysterectomy or whatever the fuck happened-"
"Hysterectomy-" Jason repeats, shrill. "He lost a spleen, Dames."

Summary
Jason swallowed. “She’s everything the world has killed in me.”
“Well,” Leslie hesitated, voice kind, if rough, “they do say we become who would have saved us when we were younger.”Jason Todd never allowed himself to be soft. Not in Crime Alley, not with Batman, not after the pit.
Then one night he finds a newborn abandoned behind a dumpster and it’s both the easiest and hardest choice of his life – because he knows how this story ends. A child left alone in the dark. A body in a cold alley. A city that doesn’t care.
As Gotham’s latest rumors take a terrifying turn and the past comes clawing at his heels, Jason isn’t looking to be a hero. He just refuses to let history repeat itself.You don't need to read the rest of the "Hatchlings of Gotham" series (dedicated to the Batkids' kids) to read this one.
Now with a short sequel.

It makes him feel a little more at peace.
