    Summary

    It might work.

    Bruce looks at the mother box—watches it, though it isn't doing anything except sitting there in front of him, gleaming, the deceptively simple shape of a cube. It's only the texture, the ridges and edges and shifting interlocking patterns that cross the surface, that hint at what it truly is. What it's capable of.

    (Or: Mid-JL, Bruce has convinced everyone to try raising Superman from the dead; but what if he could make sure it had never been necessary in the first place? Surely that's the superior option, and there's nothing to stop him from trying. Except maybe Clark.)

    Summary

    It requires every ounce of will he can bring to bear to force himself to meet Clark's eyes. Clark looks shocked; the expression is undiluted by anger or dismay, though perhaps he simply hasn't had time to grasp what just happened. His eyes are wide, round, impossibly blue. Color is rising into his cheeks. His mouth is half-open, slack, with the slightest damp shine where—

    "That was," Bruce makes himself say, and then stops. Christ, what word can he use? What adjective is there that acknowledges his trespass fully? "Inappropriate." Inadequate, but it's the best he can do, and Clark needs to hear something, needs to know Bruce recognizes his own mistake for what it is. "I apologize. I—"

    Summary

    Following a couple of Very Bad Weeks™ (which may or may not have involved being kidnapped and mildly tortured), Jason decides the best way to cheer himself up is to break into the Manor for a 3 a.m. snack.

    Turns out he isn’t the only one awake.

    Summary

    "Listen, it's not that I don't enjoy our little chats, okay," Barry says, "it is always so good to see you. But this really is not the moment? Like, don't take this the wrong way, but if you could go away and come back in—" He makes a guesstimating face, tips a hand one way and then the other. "Fifteen minutes? Twenty? I never know how long things take. Anyway, point is," and he gestures over his shoulder.

    She looks past him at the leviathan. Barry's calling it that because it sounds cooler and more dignified than dragon-turtle-whale from hell, but a dragon-turtle-whale from hell is what it looks like, sounds like, and smells like. Just real big-bad not-good all over, and that's not even counting the part where it zaps when it's pissed.

    "I can help you," Mera says evenly, apparently unimpressed. "I will speak to you after."

    Summary

    "Without her permission, her mind wanders to the memory of Allura’s lips against hers, only hours ago. She’d been terrified when Vox Machina had told her Allie’s plan, to slip in and out of Westruun right under the dragon’s nose. Seeing her again, hale and healthy--

    Kima would have challenged anyone not to kiss her.

    And now, here they are, together at last, saving the world. Again."

    Kima and Allura rekindle their relationship at Whitestone and find out what has changed, and what hasn't.

    "I'm your brother."

    "You're my teammate," Tim says flatly. "Dick, you haven't been my brother in years."

    Dick's family is littler and more broken than he'd been willing to realize.

    Summary

    Contrary to popular belief, the forest is not quiet this late, either. Some are hunting; some are praying to what powers animals might look to that they are not to be hunted. Sometimes, she could swear she heard the saplings grow, the peaty soil breath.

    The difference that jars Vex’ahlia’s teeth is not the level of sound, but how it carries. Anything you hear in the bruised midnight shadow of trees was near or an echo - nothing in between. Here in the castle, stone carries noise like a missive.

    All this to say that though she, like Keyleth, did not hear her brother return -

    - she did hear Percy.

    --

    Set during C1 episode 64 - Vex has trouble sleeping due to Saundor's taunts. Just so happens Percy is awake, and nothing is a better distraction than dancing around your feelings.

    Summary

    “About that,” Vi says. “How’d you end up here? What did a girl like you do to get tossed into this two-star shithole?”

    “Really? That’s how you ask? No subtlety in it?”

    “Uh, yeah? I saved you from getting shanked in the shower, so fair’s fair. What’s your deal, topside?”

    “Caitlyn,” she says. That isn’t right. That wasn’t the answer Vi was after. Names are easily given away but so seldomly remembered in Stillwater, but it echoes in Vi’s head. She almost doesn’t hear the actual answer. “And though I have no doubt a thousand people have given this answer before, I did nothing. I was doing my job, and then I was here. No trial. No sentencing. No crime to speak of.”

    Half a decade into Vi's stay in Stillwater, a topsider turns up, raving about being a Councillor's daughter.

    Summary

    His distrust of the gods as a whole was a slow build of all sorts of things of course, not just those unanswered prayers in the dark, but standing in front of a god that he feels betrayed by... well. It’s hard not to think about those prayers.
    Percy doesn't believe in the gods but that doesn't mean he's without faith entirely.

    Summary

    "Percy smiles, tired. 'Indeed.' It’s the work of a moment to cross the room and retrieve his daughter, holding her up to meet his eyes. 'I thought we put you to bed, madame,' he says sternly.

    "Vesper stares up at him. Vex jokes that she inherited her father’s stern countenance, and he has to admit, there is some truth to the idea. She definitely inherited the De Rolo eyebrows, which doesn’t help. She babbles for a moment, expression intent.

    "Percival nods with equal severity. 'I see,' he says, utterly solemn. 'I shall make a note.'"

    The De Rolos settle in after a long night, and have some conversations about the future.

    Summary

    She doesn’t know what she was expecting when the Champion of the Hells showed up in her dreams, but it’s certainly not this. No brimstone, no gloating, no welcome to the dark side monologue. It’s—a little disappointing, if she’s being honest.

    While the Crown Keepers are on their quest to bring Ted back to the material plane, Opal meets another Champion of the Betrayers. They're nothing alike.
