Summary
Boris’ eyes are faintly bloodshot, his smile wide, his curls bouncing. He always looks prettiest like this, the edge taken off, in focus. Theo likes to make excuses so that he’ll take a hit first, so that he can see that glassy-eyed gleam while he himself remains temporarily sober, when Boris is less likely to ask him what he’s looking at.
“Are you high at work?”
There’s a long, considering, pause. Boris blinks at him. “Kind of stupid question is that? I have been high at work many times, yes?”
“Well, yeah.” Theo rolls his eyes, shifting to lean against the doorway. “But like. Sharing is caring.”

Summary
The girl from the circus is used to being loud.
That’s how Ty Lee is heard - she loves the heat, the lights, the babble of family and fellows under the big tent. She loves her tricky, nervous-nimble acrobatics, the shrieks they draw from the crowd. She loves the soft print of clothing that once was scratchy, but has since been worn down from use. She loves her surroundings.
She doesn’t love the fun house mirrors. They take her small form and warp it into something she doesn’t recognize, take Ty Lee’s visage and morph her into a blob of something that looks like all her sisters combined, strip any simple uniqueness she may have managed to cling to. Ty Lee loves her siblings, but she yearns for a moment where her words and actions have no competition. Where she can speak into the void, and be heard.
Then her comforting white noise is stripped from her, and she meets Azula and Mai, and she changes her mind.

Summary
Sokka is fifteen when his sister calls the ocean, crackle-quick, during a fight. He watches as her untapped power rends ice, sends them sprawling, sets free a boy from entrapment. The cold cuts through him - not the normal windchill of the poles, but magic-brought. There is a figure, there, caught in time, caught in trauma, caught in the angry caress of Sokka’s sister’s power.
Sokka is fifteen when he realizes just how precariously balanced the world is.

Summary
The dull thunk of his padding against the boards contrasts with the sharp, swift jolt to his nervous system, panic lighting up his brain and cheeks with warning-red, and his eyes shoot closed so quickly Jack probably thinks he’s already passed out. Then Bitty remembers that this is a teammate, even if it’s one that doesn’t like him very much, and his mouth cries out, unbidden.

Summary
And – that feels awfully revealing, so he adds, “I like the suit.”
Mike brightens, and he’s just a step or two away, now, and Will could reach out and touch him. “I’m glad,” he says, “I was – I was hoping you would.”
“Oh.” Will really wants to kiss him. “Well, I do.”
Mike beams. “Good.”
“Good,” Will echoes, feeling at a loss for what to say, but it doesn’t seem to matter when Mike’s grin only widens, and then his hands are on Will again, like they always seem to be, lately, and Will has no protests when they’re only a few inches away from each other.
Mike has been acting strange, and, if Will didn't know any better, he'd almost think Mike was flirting with him.
Thankfully, he knows better.

Summary
Simon Snow has managed to convince Baz, Penelope, and Shepard to open a private investigation firm with him. After a conversation with an old woman on the London underground, Shepard becomes curious about a string of deaths in the small town of Wytchwood under Ashe.

Fortunately Simon's newly discovered cousin happens to live there and is able to offer them lodgings and assistance with their investigation. Meanwhile, Penelope and Shepard stay behind, and Penelope grapples with how to talk to Shepard about something very important that's been weighing on her.

Summary
Globe-trotting, League-fighting hero duo Black Swan and Red Hood are up for admission to the Justice League. If only Batman could figure out who they were.
--
Diana reached out and began to unwrap him, holding his hand steady. Careful not to ask another question, she said, “I hope your father deserves your devotion to him.”
As the lasso fell away, he muttered bitterly, “he didn’t.”

Summary
Bruce knows he walks a thin line between Batman and my friend's dad with a lot of the younger heroes. He just isn't sure when they skipped Mister Wayne altogether and he became Uncle B.
(Or, Bruce may have an adoption problem, but this is not his fault. They just showed up.)
