Summary
[Sokka is five when the first mark appears.
It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.
When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments.
“Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”
Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.
A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]
Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.

Summary
“You know, if you turn me over to the social workers, well… the chances of a kid my age findin’ a decent home are slim–”
“Don’t bet on it, Robin.”
“Robin?” Jason’s head whips around and he stares at Batman in horror, “Robin!?”
Batman’s smile falters, and he starts explaining slowly, “Yes, you’ve proved yourself quite a lot tonight, young man. I think you’d make an excellent Ro–”
“Fuck that!”
----
Jason, very aggresively, says No to being Robin. This spirals into quite the different life for everyone in the Batfamily!

And of all the things Jason expected when he went back to Gotham to annoy the shit out of his Replacement, growing fond of the kid was not one of them.
But oh well, everyone knows life as a teenage vigilante/crime lord is full of surprises.

Summary
“Are you my daddy?”
Jason peers at him with those wide, beseeching eyes and something in his chest clenches.
He wishes it wasn’t just selfishness that leads him to say yes.

Featuring Jason annoying the League for 168 hours straight, Dick's descent into chaos, Tim's caffeine addiction, and Damian being Damian.
Enjoy!
