Dreaming of Angels
(Barbetta Hayden):
----
It would have been difficult if not impossible to say who was more surprised; Captain Chris Larabee of the ATF, or the small child Chris had dead in his sights."Shit!" Chris quickly pointed his gun toward the ceiling and took a deep breath to steady his nerves. Hours spent searching the old, abandoned warehouse had left him both edgy and frustrated. "What the hell are you doing here?!"

What Makes a Home (LaraMee)
Just what happened during those first fateful days after Vin found JD? And how did Vin know how to keep them both alive and safe on the streets at such a tender age?

Coming Home Again (Joy K)
JD stood quietly by the window staring sadly at the falling snow. Any normal five-year-old boy would have been jumping up and for joy at the sight and begging to go out and play, but JD didn't feel like playing. All he wanted with his whole heart was to go home to be with Mr. Buck and Vin and Mr. Chris.
JD turned and looked at his aunt. She was a nice lady and JD knew that she loved him, but this just wasn't home.

Drive(JK): https://blackraptor.net/m7fic-16/drive.htm
It was just an old hand-me-down Ford
With a three-speed on the column and a dent in the door
I'd sit up in the seat and stretch my feet out to the pedals
Smiling like a hero that just received his medal
A young boy two hands on the wheel
I can't replace the way it made me feel
And I would press that clutch
And I would keep it right
And he'd say, "a little slower son you're doing just fine"
Just a dirt road with trash on each side
But I was Mario Andretti
When daddy let me drive

Tony's pretty sure it's written into cosmic law somewhere: superheroes are not supposed be cute.
Apparently, no one's told these two.
He’s okay with that.

Bookmarker's Notes
Tim's never seen one before, usually cooped up in his house with a servant coming by his home once a week to drop off supplies that'll keep him well fed until the next week. But he has read books, and sometimes, he imagines himself encountering one and fighting them with blades, like brave knights do to earn their glory.
A dragon bleeds out on the floors of his home, and all he has is a book, and no sword.

The Kingdom Of Gotham is often riddled with creatures good and bad, mostly bad. The dragons that pass over Gotham, harass the Gothamites, and pollute the air with smoke and smog are no exception, and one knows better than to confront one unless you are a hunter.
Except one night, when a dragon crashes into the home of one Timothy Drake, everything changes.
