    Summary

    When Mydei wakes up at entry hour, it’s to thirty texts and ten missed calls, all from Phainon.

    “Mydei,” Phainon’s voice says, somehow managing to slur the consonants. “Mydei you… you wouldn’t—woah. Woah. Everything is—is—” A raucous round of laughter drowns out Phainon’s voice. “Mydei,” Phainon says again. “You wouldn’t be… belieeeve—” He stretches the word out like it’s some kind of competition. “Cipher just—Cipher just told me the craziest—it’s so—it’s really, um. It’s crazy. I’m—I’m—” The message stops.

    Mydei pulls his teleslate from his ear to stare at it. This isn’t the first time Cipher has dragged Phainon to an ouzeri to get him blackout drunk.

    Phainon disappears after a night of drinking with Cipher. Mydei, in search of their usual morning spar, goes looking for him only to find a strange dromas instead.

    Summary

    “Really, Sir Varka, I call you out here and you have not even the decency to see my plight?”

    “No! No, no, I see it just fine! It’s just, well…” Varka shrugs helplessly. “Well.”

    “Well what? Have you at least the decency to see how unfair it is?”

    Nicole feels no part angel in this moment - right now she is simply a friend to mortals who will live a fraction of her lifespan, and she revels in it. For some of the increasingly frequent moments between a confession and a shared drink she can almost brush her fingers against the understanding that she has been unknowingly chasing ever since Ivanovna died - she brushes her fingers against the shape of love, of a bias born for friends and those close to the heart.

    But it is a night of merry-making. There is no place for such a revelation as dangerous as this, not when it concerns Nicole’s death sentence.

    Varka clears his throat. “Er. Unfair? I mean, I wouldn’t say it’s unfair, exactly.”

    This man. And the audacity.

    He’s going to be the death of her.

     

    OR: Nicole, and what it means to fall in love.

    (And Teyvat, and what it means for an angel to break her vow.)

    Summary

    Adrian knows that everything is solvable if you break it down into the right sequence of steps.

    The abrupt return of their long-dead partner in an alien spaceship has brought with it a series of absurd, worrying and even dangerous problems, but they're confident they can see the solution even if nobody else can.

    They just need to make the alien fall in love with Rocky.

    Summary

    “Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”

    [YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if you accidentally proposed marriage to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you are also notoriously inexperienced and kinda stupid at close interpersonal relationships? What then?

    Summary

    March had his palm read once, years back, by a hack psychic in a gaudy tent at some old timey carnival Holly had begged to go to. She'd taken one look at his craggy hands – two fingers bandaged at the time - and told him, in no uncertain terms, that if he didn't slow down, boy, he was gonna hurt himself. He tipped her very badly.

    Suffice to say, he did not often have the appearance of a man in control of his own destiny.

    Summary

    It’s May 1979 and the Order has just apprehended a pair of mysterious wizards who look remarkably like a Potter and a Malfoy. Naturally, James Potter and Sirius Black are called in to identify the strangely familiar strangers and determine their backgrounds and loyalties.

    (This would be a lot easier if their captives weren’t convinced everyone they talk to is dead. It would also be easier if they didn’t spend half their bloody time bickering.)

    **

    “Just ask them questions only they would know the answer to,” Malfoy suggests.

    “There’s not a single thing that I know about either of them from the first war that any old Death Eater couldn’t find out.”

    “How is that possible?” Malfoy huffs. “He’s your father!”

    “Am I or am I not famously an orphan?” Potter snarls.

    **

    Summary

    Jason Todd has been dead for almost three years now. Everybody knows this. Tim definitely knows this.

    And yet here he is now, looking very much alive, three years older and approximately 200 pounds heavier, in the middle of lecturing a bunch of sophomores about poetry and having just introduced himself as their new English teacher.

    Bullshit, Tim thinks.

    Summary

    Week One.

    It’s freezing.

    Cold presses up against his cheek and shoulder. The cotton tee, sweatpants and polyester socks aren’t nearly enough to keep out the chill. He doesn’t want to be dramatic, but if his bones turned to ice, he wouldn’t be surprised. His shoulder aches, bruised and stiff. He’d roll over to the other one if it didn’t feel the exact same. He’s choosing the lesser evil, it would seem. There’s been a lot of that this week.

    The shackle around his ankle is tight and uncomfortable, the chain attached to it even more so. Every time he so much as twitches, it clinks against itself. Dick’s backed himself into quite the corner. Pinned by his own stupidity and ego. It’s clear the Titans aren’t on par. They were never on par. Slade had been six steps ahead the whole time, and now— well. Now he has what he wants.

    Dick shudders.

    An apprentice. How had he missed that?

    Summary

    Gloved fingers close over Tim’s throat and slowly begin to squeeze.

    “Jason!” he gasps, choking. “Have you ever read Macbeth?

    The Red Hood stares at him like Tim just slapped him with a fish.

    --
    With his grades slipping, Tim worries Bruce will take Robin away. So when the Red Hood breaks into his room with the intent to kill him, Tim decides it's a good idea to ask him for help on his English homework.

    It works. And then it doesn't. And then Tim solves a mystery and almost dies anyway.

    Summary

    There’s not really a point in owning a car, especially with the cost of insurance. With the threat of student debt looming overhead like a cloud, Bernard can’t afford to buy a car without help, and there’s no way he’ll ever ask Tim.

    So Bernard doesn’t really drive. He’s happy to let his weirdly specific driving skills get swept under the rug, because the thing he has with Tim still feels delicate and new, and he doesn’t want to ruin it by bringing up that his uncle was in a gang and hey, he just happened to teach Bernard how to drive. Bernard wants to avoid any kind of conversation around crime in Gotham, actually. Especially after what happened in high school.

    It’s not like he’s ever going to need to drive a getaway car, anyway. As far as Bernard is concerned, it’ll never come up.

    Bernard learned to drive from his henchman uncle. The last place he expects to use this skill is at a dinner with his boyfriend's family.

    "Look," Prime starts quickly before Jason has a chance to think about going back to the lobby to complain, "I'm tired as hell. You're tired as hell. We're both reasonable guys, right? And it's a queen-size. Why don't we just man up and get over it for tonight, and tomorrow we never have to talk about it again. Deal?"

    Promise I won't try and cuddle, he thinks of adding, but the lies really do get to a point.

    Prime knows Jason is smart. It takes a real idiot to not tell when someone is so smart it’s scary, and he can be terrifying sometimes.

    Which means that Jason notices things.

    Things like the fact that Prime actually likes getting pet.

    Summary

    “Merry Christmas! Or— Pre-Christmas!”

    Jason stares at the teen on his doorstep. He’s tall, for one, towering over Jason with broad shoulders balanced on top of a lean physique. He’s ill-dressed for the cold, coat nowhere to be seen. Instead, he sports a white turtleneck layered under a jean jacket and a scarf.

    His baggy jeans wear a different wash to the jacket, and Jason feels himself judging the amount of distress on them. No one actually wears real shredding like that unless they buy them that distressed.

    Summary

    Tim is good at galas.

    No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

    ---

    Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.

    Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.
