    Summary

    Darth Sidious is dead, by the hand of the apprentice he raised. Anakin doesn’t want to be Vader anymore. The only person he trusts is a Jedi, and now Obi-Wan Kenobi has his hands full.

    The one-shots in this series are not entirely standalone, in terms of narrative and emotional buildup. This series is best read in order.

    Summary

    “Can I help you?” Hal asks after he catches the man staring again.

    He'd been right to think the man hadn't been entirely adverse to catching Hal's attention, since he doesn't seem embarrassed at being noticed, almost like he was being the least bit inconspicuous on purpose.

    “Sorry,” the stranger says, hardly apologetic at all, “You… look like someone I know.”

    Hal snorts, “Must be one handsome fellow,” he jokes with a shrug, knowing being vain is only charming if it's true.

    It seems to work, since the man's indifferent expression falters, the corner of his mouth twitching in amusement as he hums deeply. Maybe it's just a trick of the light, but his baby blues seem to twinkle mischievously, “Some would say so.”

    (Hal meets a guy in an expensive suit who has a thing for chilli dogs.)

    Summary

    "Come on," the boy whispers pleadingly, holding up what looks like a half eaten apple in an attempt to coax Ace out of her pen, though it seems to no avail. She stands with as much indifference and care as a brick wall.

    Bruce, who's been around for enough decades that he thinks he might be constituted as old by mythological terms, has never had someone outright try to rob his horse. His armour, sure, sometimes even his weapons and bags — though no one makes it very far on broken legs with either.

    But his horse?

    It's so bizarre, in fact, that Bruce can't stop the bubbling laughter rip out of his throat.

    (A young Jason Todd tries to steal the Bat's horse.)

    Summary

    Damian huffs, sounding slightly annoyed again, but Jason's starting to think that it might just be his default tone of voice, "Yes, Todd. I have been going for about two months now. Thomas and I decided it was essential to our livelihoods."

    There's a lot to unpack in that confession. Mostly though, Jason is rather horrified at all the emotions he's suddenly feeling and receiving. The last conversation he can remember having with Damian had been a few months ago where Red Hood had chucked the kid to the side before he could get shot, to which Robin told him never manhandle me like that again you neanderthal.

    So this was a lot to take in at seven in the morning.

    (Jason becomes a big brother and rebuilds some bridges, all in good time.)

    It wasn’t his place -- far from it -- but Bruce had asked.
