zugzwang: in chess, the obligation to move, when any move at all will be bad
"A game of chess, Detective. I assume you know how to play. You win, and you and your family may leave freely. I win, and you take your place as my heir and I dispose of the others as I see fit."
Tim stopped breathing.
Ra's spread his hands, still smiling that condescending crocodile grin. "Our skills are evenly matched. The challenge is more than fair."
All a game, just win. All a game, just win. Just win, just win, win, win...
Keep your head.

Summary
“Where are the other medics?”
Hazel knows there are none before he answers. He must know that she knows, judging the careful steadiness of her voice, the fleeting touch of her finger on his clenched fist. She pulls back when his hands begin to shake, worse than before, and his finger worms under the bandages on his wrist, pulling and twisting, twisting, twisting. He stands close to Kayla, still. Hovering, careful. His lips part, and Hazel holds her breath.
“There were more of us,” he begins, hushed. His dark eyes track Kayla’s snoring. “I was the thirteenth. They were –” He looks up, suddenly, looks over, and the look in his eyes is like cracking ice, like a glacier that has stood for thousands of years breaking finally into the arctic sea and falling under its own weight to the sandy floor. Like the fractured flash of sky between lightning, like the azure glass shards of a Christmas ornament refracting back the twinkling candlelight. “It was so loud in here, once.”

Summary
After his resurrection, Jason Todd is lost, feral, and full of Lazarus Pit rage—until he meets Damian Wayne, a ten-year-old assassin raised by the League. With Talia offering only brutality and perfectionism, Jason becomes the one person who treats Damian like a child instead of a weapon. Over time, an unexpected bond forms: Jason becomes the closest thing Damian has to a mother, whether he likes it or not. Through shared trauma, stolen cartoons, and quiet nights, they slowly build something that feels like family.

Summary
Bruce was sitting upright as he drove, stiff as a corpse. Dick tried to think of something to say that wouldn't result in a fight or a car crash, but all he could come up with was the truth. I carried him, he wanted to say. I carried him out of the building like I was his coffin. You think you lost him but I'm the one who can't get his weight out of my body.
They drove on in silence.
----
Damian is dead.
Dick takes Bruce to the funeral.

“Looking forward to coming home?” Dick asked one night over the phone.
“No.”
“I know you are,” Dick said. Tim could hear the soft clanking of dishes in the background. “You miss me.”
“I miss Steph.”
Dick laughed. “She misses you, too. Though she did make me promise not to tell you, so hush.” More dishes, water running. “Damian misses you, too.”

Summary
The person who opens the door is tall and lean. Taller than Tim by…five inches? Possibly more. He’s ranging on 5’11, could already be 6’0. He has tiny scars across his face and hands, some scars pretty noticeable against his tanned skin. His green eyes are piercing and vibrant. Part of Tim wants to scream, ‘Bruce took in another!?’ but Tim’s hippocampus recognizes him rather quickly. “Damian?”
“Drake.” The boy (man?) says looking down at Tim. “It is good to see you, I suppose.” Damians hands twitch at his side as if wanting to do something. If Tim knows Damian at all, it’s probably strangle him. Ultimately, he opts out of whatever violent decision he was considering and instead tugs on his hoodie as he opens the door more to allow Tim in.
Tim walks in, looking around the manor for changes. Because Damian becoming a giant with manners can’t be the only one.

Summary
“Look, Moony, Sirius is happy. I don’t see what you’re worried about,” James said to him.
Remus tried to be comforted by that, but he could just sense something was off. He knew what a real Sirius Black smile was. It wasn’t the dazzling one he flaunted with pride nor the smirk he gave all the girls who looked his way. No, the real Sirius Black smile was the one he would give Remus when they would share a bed and fall asleep in each other’s arms. It was soft and small and reached his eyes. It was one he hadn’t seen in months.

Summary
Sirius was dancing to his Christmas record, mouthing the words to Santa Baby ridiculously. He held a hand out to Remus,
Think of all the fun I’ve missed
Think of all the fellas that I haven’t kissedReluctantly, Remus stood up and started dancing with Sirius. Sirius grabbed his hands and swung them around liberally. Occasionally, even spinning Remus, who begrudgingly obliged, (though he was secretly having the time of his life). They kept their eyes on each other with smiles on their lips.

Summary
Contrary to popular belief, Damian Wayne was keenly aware of all of his flaws. His entire life had been about improving, about becoming the best version of himself possible, and how could he possibly do that without meticulously recording, indexing, and attempting to correct every single one of his weaknesses?
Not all flaws, however, were so easy to fix. Frankly, he wasn’t even sure if they could be fixed.
or: the irrational rationalizations of a deeply traumatized fourteen-year-old child soldier, and the secret that just might crumble his ramshackle psyche for good

“What do you want me to do?” Remus says, tiredly. All he wants is to curl up on his bed. Smoke a pack of cigarettes. Get drunk. He can’t stop looking at Harry.
“Remus...” Dumbledore is gentle. Remus hates when he has that tone. Hates that he knows it will hurt. “There is no one else left.”
A bitter laugh escapes him. “So you’ll curse the poor thing with a werewolf for a guardian?”

Summary
He remembers when he first heard him, and how he'd been quite unable to do much of anything other than sit there in the stalls in awe as he watched the choir's rehearsal play out, a fourth year pianist accompanying a devastating solo from Remus that had every student and teacher holding their breath. The sheer depth of it; the way it seemed to reverberate through the ancient boards of the very stage itself, from somewhere primal and secret inside him. And how it seemed to take him no effort whatsoever, and how his presence felt no less monumental for it.
A winter term at The Ullswater Institute: late-night rehearsals, dormitory karaoke, and secrets, kept in the labyrinthine corridors underneath the cavernous, frescoed auditorium.
