    Summary

    Bruce breathed carefully too, and Dick recognised the rhythm for clear-headedness. “The League is a battering ram when I need a lock pick,” he conceded. “It’s a covert mission, an investigation into illicit black market dealings on an alien planet of which we have no first-hand knowledge, and Superman wants Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Green Arrow to accompany me. The penalty for incorrectly trading legal thafalstron is ten years’ jail time; smuggling justifies life imprisonment. We don’t even have a clear-cut system of translation, and the League thinks we can just walk in and escape detection.”

     

    A mission in space should be just what Dick needed to shake away the cobwebs and make some sense of his life a year after Bruce miraculously returned from his presumed death. So what if their translators work 75% of the time and there's a life sentence if they get discovered. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    "You'll change your mind one day," says the innkeep. "The road can't love you back."

    What a strange way to flatten something so beautiful, Jaskier thinks. What a small way to love.

    Or: When Jaskier is hit with a curse that prevents him from having sex, he's lucky that the first person he meets is a Witcher. It's even luckier that Jaskier is used to hitting the road, because Geralt isn't waiting up.

    Summary

    ‘Oh good, more excellent ideas from Thor,’ Loki sighs with a total and complete lack of enthusiasm. ‘Can’t I just push Heimdall down the stairs or something?’

    ‘How is that a good deed?’ Thor asks, bewildered.

    ‘It would give everyone a good laugh,’ Loki says, the corner of his mouth twitching. ‘I’m laughing on the inside just picturing it.’

    ---

    In which Loki is roped into cleaning up his act to reassure the people that he isn't planning on betraying them (again), while Thor spends far too much time explaining that no, they aren’t sleeping together.

    Summary

    “Never have ever I kissed someone in character,” Mike says, and laughs triumphantly when everyone else groans and drinks.

    “We’ve gotta change that sometime, Smiling Dragon,” Chuck grins, and Mike’s heart goes hot and sharp in his chest all of a sudden.
