    Summary

    Yuuji makes a horrid sound from the back of his throat. And Megumi, because he’s not good like Yuuji or Tsumiki, because he bears resemblance to a man who once upon a time inserted himself into their rundown home and has been growing roots ever since, twists the knife deeper, and says, “Do you think you don’t mean as much to me as I mean to you?”

    It’s desperate. It’s a plea. Ultimately, there’s nothing more to be said than: “You know, don’t you?”

    (or: a confession and a train ride into the end of the world as man has known it.)

    Summary

    There is extremely little, at this point in his life, that would surprise Jean Moreau.

    Case in fucking point.

    “We need a squirrel,” says Riko Moriyama, and Kevin Day has the decency to wince.

    “Okay,” says Jean. There really is no other way to respond.

    Or: A bizarre extra credit project has ripple effects on the structural integrity of a mafia-sponsored sports cult.

    Summary

    “That one is Cygnus, over there. A giant bird. There's a whole thing, a demi-god, a sun chariot."

    The wind is picking up, blowing through the dream. Tim doesn’t move, doesn’t blink, doesn’t breathe.

    "Heh," Connor says, looking at him, all soft, all smiles. "A bird. Just like you, Robin."

    He closes his eyes.

    No, Tim wants to say. Please. Just let me stay here.

    But the wind picks up and of course, of course, he cannot.

    Summary

    “Hey, kid,” Helena grits out, voice faint, “Do you know how to use a first aid kit?”

    Does he—of course he does. Tim opens his mouth to snipe back and remembers, right. She doesn't know. To Helena right now, as bruised and concussed as she is, he is just a random college student with a serious bedhead from his recent library nap, and a hostage.

    This is not a memory.

    This is not a memory.

    It’s a wound.

    Or, all the yesterdays that led to Sydney’s todays…and a glimpse at her tomorrows.

    Summary

    It's when the music quietens down— not completely into silence, but enough that Ives could speak normally through the mic, that they make eye contact. Tim noticed, even through the lenses of Ives’ glasses, the shine in his eyes, how slightly out of breath he was, how his face scoured the entire venue, his smile subconscious and addictive.

    His smile, something so brilliant, amazing and Tim hadn't known he wished to see it so much, faltered for just a moment when their gazes met and Tim felt a stab of uncertainty crawl through him when Ives’ face turned apologetic, reminders of just the first song punching through their arteries.

    “I’m sorry,” he said, and Tim's ears rang with how honest he sounded, Ives’ voice echoing amongst the cheers, but still, his eyes did not leave Tim's. Almost as if giving him a hidden explanation that the rest of the world was not privy to, “Every single song is about you.”

    Everything. Nothing.

    Summary

    Kevin's face scrunches in disgust as he gets a whiff of the alcohol being poured into the first glass. “Ravens aren’t allowed to drink.”

    “Good thing you’re not one, then,” Wymack says. “I won’t force you, but know I won’t judge your methods, either, whatever they may be.”

    “Not one,” Kevin echos. “Not a Raven.”

    Wymack might have said something to that, but Kevin can’t hear him when every sound becomes muffled and a cruel, “playing pretend now, are we?” is whispered in his ear.

    or: kevin’s first night with wymack after leaving the nest, but despite the distance he finds he hasn’t quite escaped it—or him.

    Summary

    You truly are the scum of the fucking Earth, Kevin Day. How many times has Jean loved you enough to leave you out of it, to give you the only thing he possesses that he may give: his silence? You are served once what he has choked down daily for years, and immediately spew everything everywhere. What a miserable joke you are.

    “Jean,” you moan miserably. “They know that I’m gone by now. Oh, God, they’ll kill him–” you descend into hyperventilation almost impressively rapidly.

    Summary

    “You look like you have something to say. Get it out, then,”

    “Sometimes, I feel like…” he catches himself too late.

    Sometimes, I feel like I need you more than you need me. The thought felt corrosive against his brain.

    “Sometimes, you feel like…?” Su-ho raises an eyebrow, gesturing for him to continue.

    “Like I buy you too many meals,” Si-eun corrects himself, feeling like that was a pretty good save, all things considered. “The next one is on you. Make it beef.”

    Thankfully, Su-ho didn’t seem to catch on. His eyes widen dramatically. “Si-eun, you’re going to make me buy my own congratulatory meal? Way to kick a man when he’s down…”

    Si-eun shrugs. “Labor costs.”

    -

    Life moves on.

    Su-ho wants to transfer to Eunjang High and make a clean break. Baku, Hyun-tak, and Jun-tae want to meet the mysteriously hospitalized guy he’s been visiting so religiously.

    Life moves on. Si-eun can’t stop his two worlds from colliding. He’s not sure he wants them to.

    Summary

    Nam-gyu hardly realizes what he's going to say before he says it, thoughtlessly falling out of his mouth, "I have room."

    ...Which he doesn't, really. Why would he say that?

    But it's— Thanos goes still and he just sorta stares at him and Nam-gyu's mind is flitting to fall half on his cross necklace and half on that he just looked so— so fucking bleak when he said that, so final.

    OR: the games end after mingle. thanos and nam-gyu cope with this in spectacular fashion (and maybe learn to live somewhere in there, too).

    Summary

    Dick and Bruce are like this:
    Not the sun and moon, a love devastated by circumstance, a story of light and gravity but a different beast altogether. A nucleus fissuring into two, borne of the same energy, the same matter, the same decay.

    Their story has always been radioactive.

    A canon-divergent take on Dick's return after Spyral featuring debilitating self-loathing and guilt, interspersed with the ordeal of being unmasked and the subsequent waning sense of personhood.

    Summary

    “Dick.” She squeezed his shoulder. “Dick, look at me.”

    Slowly, as if he were pushing against a terrible force, he lifted his head.

    “I have known you since I was thirteen years old, and I have known you in a dozen other lifetimes, so I need you to believe me when I say that there is nothing you could do that would make me stop loving you.”

    Dick held her gaze. He looked like he was searching for something in her eyes, so Donna held still and hoped he found it.

    “Did you really know me in other lives?” he asked.
