    Summary

    "Dude, quit squirming!" Scar's laugh starts as a deep, bright rumble in the pit of his stomach, soaring from his throat to punch the air in short, ribboned strokes, each a brilliant star between them. The air here is warm, dazed, an illuminated snow globe— except the globe is his tree, and the snow drifts in downy feathers outside it, forming an intricate latticework of frostbitten fingers that crawl up the sides of his windows.

    They’d retreated here an hour ago— once their impromptu snowball fight with Doc had transcended from three hermits to thirteen— all shivers and chattering teeth, drenched to the bone. Now, with the fire stoked, sweaters both discarded and exchanged, neither one of them can ignore how the bedraggled wreck of Grian’s feathers are in desperate need of preening.

    "You're doing this on purpose!" Grian's retort is tart, but it lacks true bite, curling high as a silver wisp of smoke. "Sto— stop it, Scar, stop trying to tickle me—!"

    Summary

    Tim's dad is dead, killed by a boomerang to the chest, and Tim is an orphan now. He knows Bruce would adopt him if needed but he couldn't possibly impose himself on the Wayne's more than he already has. It's okay though, because he has a plan for this, he just needs someone to play the role of his estranged "Uncle Eddie".

    Except... the guy he hires is weirdly concerned about his well being and Tim can't figure out why.

     

    Meanwhile, Jason Todd is forced to reevaluate his plans for his debut as Red Hood, because, as it turns out, his replacement is a suicidal idiot who can't be trusted to stay out of trouble.

     

    OR

     

    Tim Drake fails to recognize Jason Todd, back from the dead, and hires him to be his Uncle Eddie to avoid getting adopted by Batman. Somehow this ruins everyone's plans.

    OKAY! I absolutely loved this more than anything. Like holy batcrap the emotions, the bonding, and like all the dialouge.

    This fic is SO well written and its just wonderful seeing an au like this where all my favorite guys basically get to be a big happy family (of course thats not entirely what happens, but we got there in the end)

    And oh my god did i love not only Jason's characterisation (a real highlight i love when jason is like this) but also Bruce's specifically was TOP NOTCH like i dont think ive seen many better Bruces.

    anyways all that to say, this fic is spectacular and a total 10/10 read <3

    Summary

    Against all odds, Katsuki wakes up. Understandably, surviving a war changes some things.


    After his fight with Shigaraki, after the war has all ended without him, Katsuki now has to figure out how to navigate the space between worthiness and forgiveness. At the end of the day, the easiest way to describe it is probably just love.

    Summary

    DAVE: im horrifically lacking in the smooch department

    DAVE: not even gonna have a hot date for the rosemary wedding

    DAVE: just show up with no plus one cause whod that even be theyre already inviting all ten of our collective god friends

    DAVE: ill be standing all lonely in some fashion tier suit so goddamn smoochable but no one—

    KARKAT: OH MY GOD
     

    From where you’re cleaning off the table, you lean over, grab his face in your hand, and press a quick, firm kiss to his mouth. If nothing else, it’s still a solid tactic to shut him up.



    Dave and Karkat kiss sometimes. It's fine. They aren't dating, is the thing, and that is, genuinely, perfectly fine! It's great! They are good friends and they kiss sometimes and they are, for sure, not in a relationship, and Karkat, personally, is fine with this.

    It is fine.
