    Summary

    The purr is called urvishulahdh. The cultural anthology tells him that it can be used to calm children, or even as a self-soothing mechanism, but it is most common between family members as an expression of contentment, tranquility, peace.

    Clark stares at the 3D anatomy diagram of the throat, the auxiliary vocal cords layered underneath the human-like main set, as they slowly vibrate, and asks the Fortress in halting Kryptonian to play the associated audio.

    Kryptonians purr. Clark purrs, and then doesn't. Until he needs to.

    Summary

    Hal Jordan knows next to nothing about the Justice League, save for the few things he hears about them on the news. So when he accidentally finds their super-secret-superhero-space-base…
    Well, breaking into the Watchtower certainly isn’t the smartest thing he’s ever done, but at least the Justice League doesn’t know he broke in.

    …right?

    Summary

    “How much?”

    “Free,” Mali shares with a smile, “thank you, Superman.”

    “Oh I couldn’t–” Superman begins, only to stop when Malik puts a hand over his– nodding his head.

    Thank you.”

    Summary

    He grabbed a random shirt from his laundry pile to throw on before opening his bedroom door. “Hello?” he called out, looking around his apartment. The curtains swayed around an open window he swore he closed before bed. “Is anyone there?” Nothing looked like it had been disturbed, and no one was hiding anywhere when he did a sweep with his X-ray vision. He couldn’t hear anyone either. With a final glance around and a sigh, Clark concluded it must’ve been nothing and turned to return to his room-

    There was a child behind him.

    Bruce has made it clear that in an emergency, Dick is to get Superman as soon as possible.

    Dick is well-versed and very aware of this protocol.

    Superman is not.

    Summary

    “It is a connection to family.” She says at some point. “The sight of a Vulcan woman’s hair unconstrained is reserved for mates and familiar relatives only. With the slight constant mental connection between all Vulcans, this is one way of maintaining privacy.”

    Kirk smiles lightly. “I bet it must feel nice then, going to visit your family. You get to put your hair down, relax a bit.”

    “Vulcans do not feel anything, Captain.” Spock replies.

    He is wrong in other ways. She does not correct them.

    OR:

    Spock has spent her entire life with a physical reminder that she will never be accepted. The Enterprise changes some things.
