    Summary

    “How long?” Jason can’t keep the growl out of his voice. Because, alright, he knows what goes on on the streets. And this boy certainly isn’t the last child he’s ever gonna find turning tricks or whatever he’s doing out here alone. But he’s never had one looking at him like that.

    Tim shuffled his feet, looking at the ground. It makes him look like a little kid.

    “Um, a couple years. I’m sorry.”

    Or: Jason runs into Tim around the Alley, during the time he's still Robin. He draws some incorrect conclusions. And decides he needs to get this kid off the streets as soon as possible.

    Summary

    But isn't desire always the same, whether the object is present or absent? Isn't the object always absent? — This isn't the same languor; there are two words: Pothos, desire for the absent being, and Himéros, the more burning desire for the present being.

    Summary

    “You said you were on a case?” Jason shouts, partially drowned out when the beast opens its fierce jaws and roars.

    “Case, monster hunt, same thing,” Tim replies.

    Tim isn’t very good at icing people out, even when they really, really deserve it.

    It’s as he’s assessing Goon #1’s shoulders that he hears it.

    Summary

    There's no way he could pass for Dick’s actual brother and he’s got the face of a shell-shocked cartoon mouse — but not the cutesy mice, the ones in the old 80's movies that gave Dick nightmares as a child. That plus the fact the Drake kid’s got a thick New Jersey accent he can’t shake and Dick doesn’t look grown-up enough to be toting around a preteen is sure to get people asking questions. Or worse. So Dick hauls Tim in by the strap on his backpack, steps onto the shoulder, sticks his thumb skyward toward the cloudless cornflower blue of middle America in summer, and prays that whoever pulls over lies somewhere boring on the sliding scale between serial killer and snitch.


    Dick Grayson turns 20 on March 20th, Jason Todd dies on April 27th, and by May 23rd, Bruce Wayne's ward-not-son is rattling around in the bed of a 1979 Ford F-150 heading anywhere but Gotham, New Jersey. Wayne money and Bat technology can't find him, but he's got a bug-eyed shadow and a raw Robin-shaped wound to haul across the continental United States.

    Summary

    The knife pushes thin along Dick’s carotid artery, cupping the indent between neck and jawline—forcing him to angle his chin. The metal is warm, pulled with execution speed from under Damian’s pillow.

    “Okay,” Dick says quietly, tracking the intricacies of his own heartbeat—counting the space between breaths. “Guess I did need a shave.”

    (With faltering steps, Dick and Damian become Batman and Robin.)

    Summary

    Jon remembers a statement he read years ago given by a Jesuit priest, who said that the shortest prayer he knew was, just, fuck it, as in fuck it; it's in God's hands. He takes Daisy's hand and trails on after her.

    or; hope is a thing with feathers.

    Summary

    “I was thinking actually, um. Why don’t you come over to my place and I’ll cook something?”

    Tim looks at him carefully. The scruffy, angled curve of his jaw. Soft cheeks. Those marks from his glasses. The blush creeping down his neck. There’s a deep affection blooming in his chest, then, for a long, lingering, treacherous second. Dangerous. Lovely.

    “Oh, right now?”

    Martin shakes his head. His hair bounces all over the place. “No, I – tomorrow. Can you do tomorrow?” as if either of them has plans anymore. Like they have to check. Like either of them goes out or sees anyone aside from anyone working there, now.

    The shoe’s about to drop, probably. The last shoe. Tim says “yes.” He doesn’t regret the word.

    or, about being prepared to die as an act of revenge and clumsy attempts at love in the face of what surely is going to be the end of the world.

    Summary

    There is a fire building in her; a feral song spills from her throat and calls for pain, for violence. It roars for carnage, and she is dying of thirst, howling with fury. She needs to inflict pain, pain that is humming in her veins and searing her blood, upon the world.

    Summary

    There are two bedrooms in the safehouse, and two beds.

    For a moment, Jon considers asking to share, but decides against it with a wince. “I really loved you,” Martin had told him. Loved. Past tense. And Martin doesn’t exactly have a lot of choices right now in terms of company; it would be cruel to demand he play at feelings he no longer has just to make Jon happy.

    (For a moment, Martin considers asking to share. But he dismisses the idea with a shake of his head. Jon has already done so much for him. Martin isn’t about to ask for more, especially not when it’s something he doesn’t really need. He has his right mind back, and he has Jon’s friendship. That should be enough for him. It’ll have to be.)

    ---

    Jon thinks that Martin doesn’t love him. Martin thinks that Jon doesn’t love him. They do not, of course, discuss this. Unrequited love is already awkward enough, right? No need to dwell on it.

    Summary

    He was struck, all at once, by the near-impossibility of the moment, of the impossibility of a fresh start, spread out perfectly before him. Jon didn’t deserve a fresh start, didn’t deserve this idyllic scene, this warm morning in Scotland. He turned from where he was staring out of the windshield to glance at Martin, sitting beside him.
    Jon didn’t deserve Martin, either.
    But he was here, in the car with him; just like the cottage was there before them, quiet and unassuming in the protection- the home, a hopeful voice whispered in the back of Jon’s head- it offered, and Jon couldn’t bring himself to push any of it away.

    Summary

    “Well listen. Percy, ah…” Vax hesitated, biting down on his lower lip as he picked his words with care. He could swear he'd not broken the skin, but his mouth tasted of blood, hot and bitter, sharp enough to make him feel a little sick. “We are not playing a game-”
    “No,” agreed Percy, voice uncharacteristically soft, restrained. His gaze never left Vax’s, unwavering in its emptiness – in its lack of remorse, lack of emotion, lack of human fucking decency. Vax grit his teeth.

    (When Vax corners Percy in his workshop, after Vex's death, he doesn't stop at one punch.)
