Summary
"Can I ask, then," Hisirdoux continued softly, "why do you come back here if it's not what you're looking for?"
Aja sits silent for a moment, thinking. "I guess..." she starts, glancing back up, "I stopped caring whether or not these were real, because the things that are real are much, much scarier."
— or: Sometimes, in a world devoid of hope, it falls on us to create our own. -

Summary
“Please, Doux. Don’t do this to me.” The amulet gleams with weakening sparks; Jim knows that it only has so much energy left to give to him. Still, he grips the artifact with vigor and sets his jaw. “I am not going back to the others without you. Do you hear me?”
— or: As Jim knows from his own experience, stalklings and storms don't mix well. He expects nothing different from this encounter, but he didn't count on Douxie getting caught in the crossfire.

Summary
"I recall you once asking yourself what kind of a hero you'd be if you sacrificed everyone else for your own sake. Yet here you are, tampering with a power you can't even comprehend, because that desire to play hero eclipsed any concern you could've had for the people you might be hurting in the process."
Douxie stops, inches away from Jim. His shoulders shake with barely contained fury. "Tell me, Jim. Who does that remind you of?"

Summary
Four more people come stumbling through the doors - a short-haired girl in camouflage with a kid wearing what looks like the top half of a ghillie suit on her back, the kid hollering at the top of his lungs for a doctor like he’s on the brink of death. The reporter grabs the short-haired girl, stopping her from running directly into a frozen onlooker because she’s busy looking over her shoulder at a boy in a leather jacket right behind her, his face pulled tight with pain as he carries a limp, unmoving body, their head tipped back, pale face smeared with blood in the unforgiving halogen lights -
“Help him!” the kid is screaming, “Somebody, please -”

Summary
Nancy reached out, brushing Steve’s hair from his face. She had to keep reminding herself that he wasn’t hers anymore. She’d ended that, tonight actually. Though, if she was honest, it had ended a long time ago.
Maybe, in a way, it had never really been anything. Another attempt in her long and storied history to be noticed for something other than her grades, her nice clothes. Another accidental fall into the same tired cycle the women in her family had been playing out for generations. Cute boy, good family, marriage, kids and a house with a station wagon out front. And she’d wanted it, she really had.
She wanted to love him, especially since he’d changed. She just…couldn’t. Not like that, not like he needed her to. His words from earlier tonight echoed in her ears.
"I may be a pretty shitty boyfriend…"
Yeah, she thought, you were. Sometimes. But I wasn’t much better.
...
Or, Nancy takes a turn hiding someone in the basement.

Summary
But maybe Steve’s tired of Robin always haranguing him, so he relents. Because he’s Batman with a squad of Robins—and Batgirl, he supplies when Robin shoots him a look—and because he spent so much time cleaning out Jimmy Fast Hands’ bathroom that he needs to make all that effort worth it.
“That’s just sunk cost fallacy, man,” Dustin says to him. “And if you’re worried about a gate opening in your pool, may I remind you that the sidewalk right outside of the station split in half, revealing the fiery and somewhat dead depths of the Upside Down, which was why Jimmy Fast Hands beat it—”
Steve just flaps a hand at him. It could mean anything from quit your yapping (except then he’d press his fingers together, and he didn’t) to come give me a hand, and it’s usually the latter, but Dustin doesn’t want to give in.

Summary
“Spoke to Eddie,” Steve offers sort-of casually. He’s not even really sure why he says it, but he’s too exhausted to keep his mouth shut, and that on its own isn’t really such an incriminating statement, he figures.
Robin raises an eyebrow, more suspiciously than he’d like. “When was this?”
“Day before yesterday.”
“And?”
“He says I should go through with El’s psychic brain surgery thing. Said I should do it and that whoever it is isn’t worth dying over.”
She stares. “He said that?”
“Yes, Robin,” Steve sighs.
“Was this before or after you told him it was him?”An aromantic take on hanahaki and a life worth living.

Summary
“Steve?” Eddie interrupts again. Steve casts a glance in his direction, but Eddie is looking past him at the television with hazy eyes.
“Yeah, I’m here.” Steve jostles his foot gently and gestures for the doctor to continue talking about fluid levels. By fluid, he’s pretty sure she just means blood. The blood that Eddie was coughing up, he figures. It had to go somewhere, so they must’ve drained it the same way they drained all the leaking air from Max’s lung. Maybe. He hopes Eddie’s uncle gets this stuff better than he does.
“Don’t you live in Loch Nora?” Eddie asks just as the doctor is opening her mouth to speak again. Steve builds up to a sigh, unsure how exactly to tell Eddie to shut up when it’s not even his fault that he can’t, before he realizes Eddie’s gaze is still glued to the TV.
