Summary
"Merlin!" Arthur said, diplomat voice gone. Small mercies. Instead of yelling, though, so Merlin could at least yell back, he just calmed himself down and tried again. "Are you missing Gaius?"
The question made Merlin's heart pound, harder. It made an ugly laugh sit in his throat and even uglier truths try and claw their way up around it. "Something like that." He manages to say, instead of crying or laughing like a lunatic. Merlin had a right to know his father. Morgana had a right to know herself. Arthur-
"Well, what is it then?" Arthur pressed, again, and a pillow hits his face hard, because his prince was a prat.

Summary
"Hey, Dekorin." Ino flicked her, dragging her attention to the food that had been served. She hoped they had thanked the chef for her- she didn't want to be impolite. "Hey, chin up. We did it, right?"
Sakura took a deep breath and nodded, coming to a decision.
"Yeah." She grinned, giddiness returning and mixing with refocused determination. "We sure did. All of us."
She could fix this. She She had to.

Summary
This Sunday, Rosie awoke to a knock on her door. She threw a quick coverup over her night clothes and felt her teeth sharpen as she approached the door. It was a rude start to her day, but at least she'd have someone for breakfast after dealing with the disturbance.
She opened the door, and plans for black pudding with her tea fizzled out, replaced by a spike of fear her surprise couldn't quite trump.
"Hello!" The tall man smiled, eyes glowing red. Rosie looked him in the eye because it was the polite thing to do, even though her nose tried to pull her gaze to the smell of a fresh kill. "Alastor! Pleasure to be meeting you Miss Rosie, quite a pleasure, I've heard only good things!" The Radio Demon introduced, taking her hand in his own blood covered one and giving it a firm shake.
"Just Rosie is fine, dear." She replied, trying to determine whether this was going to be her final conversation. She hadn't thought herself powerful enough to draw the attention of the no-longer-aspiring overlord, and in the months since his rise he's yet to seem to care for anything besides power, so she really didn't know what could bring him here.

Summary
It was the end of their world, of life as they knew it, but it wasn't the end of the universe. It wasn't the end of everything- until it was, and they accidentally ended time as they knew it.
Turns out, sometimes messing with the fabric of space-time is bad, actually.

Summary
In the weeks since his parents' death, his take over as CEO of Drake Industries, and basically a complete upheaval of life as he knows it, Tim Drake has been doing everything he can to gain the approval of his company, the press, and the general public. Easy, right?
Except, apparently, there's something more sinister going on beneath DI's shiny veneer. And now Tim's fighting for his life literally, not just metaphorically. Good thing the Bats are there to protect him. But why are these people so interested in his life? Seriously, don't they have better things to do? So long as Tim makes it out alive and the Bats never find out he knows their secret, everything will be fine. Too bad nothing ever goes right for Tim.OR
Tim Drake is a super badass CEO/detective/genius, but even the most resourceful of 16-year-olds needs some help when a crime lord wants them dead.

I’m holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night by Violettavonviolet

Summary
Tim always carried pepper spray with him — always. Living in a city like Gotham, that was practically a given.
It was especially necessary when one was ten years old and currently sneaking around in the shadows of the night.
Something touched his shoulder, and on reflex, Tim pulls the trigger, before he can catch sight of green pixie boots.
Oh no!
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry Mister Robin, Sir! Are you all right?”
“What the fu- I mean frick, kid?”
—
It’s almost eerie how much these nights mirror each other. Only this time Tim’s pepper spray is joined by a knife.
But it’s not Robin he attacks this time, it’s a weird guy in a red helmet, and the spray can do nothing against that!
Tim is sure he’s never seen helmet-guy before, so why does he know Tim’s name and insists on helping him out?
Or: Tim goes out at night to take photos of the Bat’s. Twice, he meets Jason. Only once, is it Robin. But Jason’s suddenly two feet taller and wearing a red helmet. Something’s clearly wrong here.

Summary
“T’mthy,” Damian rasped. A hand reached up and weakly pinched the fabric of Tim’s sleeve. “Love you.”
Tim’s brain screeched to a halt. He mentally added confusion to his log of Damian’s symptoms.
Because there was no way in hell.
***
Tim is convinced that Damian doesn't see him as a brother.
He is wrong.
