    Summary

    The funeral is a week later. The church is sterile and nearly empty. Bruce sits next to Alfred in the front row. His eyes are fixed on his shoes the whole time. His eyes are dull and unfocused. The speakers, for there are so many, talk and talk and talk until he thinks about screaming for them to shut up. He doesn’t care what they have to say! Alfred always squeezes his hand when he feels that very strong thought and he knows he can’t do that to Alfred because he loved his parents too.

    The last one to speak is an old priest, his dad's childhood one, he thinks. He wants to summon enough energy to look up and pay attention but the words about God’s love and kindness curdle the thoughts sour before he even manages it. God is cruel if one or more even exists.

    He thinks to himself that maybe if he were to meet one what he would do. Maybe he would shout at them until his voice was gone. Maybe he would fight them. He thinks he would make them weak though. That makes the most sense to him. If he were to make a god or more mortal then, they would be subject to the misery they created or, at the least, didn’t stop.

    Summary

    Some legends are told; for that is, of course, how they become legends in the first place. Some legends prevail over the test of time, outlasting their subjects for years, centuries, even millennia. Some legends, however, are not so lucky. For one reason or another, these legends become mere stories scattered through time; rumors at best, and entirely forgotten at worst.

    This is the legend that was not told, until now. This is the true story of the man known today as the Evil Magistrate—but what history forgets is that he, too, was once a man like any other. He loved, and lost, and at the very end where it mattered most, he too fought for great justice.

    Or: Miles Edgeworth decides to write fanfiction.

    Summary

    The first time she meets him, he's nothing more than an almost-missed appointment. 

    ~~~

    Dean is silent for a long, tense moment, then he gruffly says, "It's not for banishing the angels. It's to summon them. So, it doesn't—it's not to get rid of 'em, but to draw 'em in." 

    Mitzi can't help but glance up at him at that. His voice is so heavy with so much unexplained pain, and she doesn't understand why, or what angels have to do with it. She knows religion can impact people. She's very aware that it can get complicated, and that it can be a huge source of pain for someone, but Dean sounds grievously wronged, somehow, as if it's a truly personal thing. 

    She pushes through, focusing back on her job, clearing her throat before murmuring, "Well, I guess we all want angels to visit us sometimes." 

    "Just the one," Dean mumbles. 

    "Your guardian angel?" Mitzi asks. 

    Dean breathes out, "Something like that. As close to one as an angel will ever get."

    Honestly, one of the best fanfics I've ever read.

    Summary

    Between the drought and the Depression and the dust, and keeping the farm on what's left of its feet, Clark Kent has a lot on his plate. But the Kents have been hospitable as long as there've been Kents in Smallville, and putting up a meteorologist for a few days while his car's fixed isn't that much of an imposition.

    In other news the exact same story: Bruce Wayne, playboy prince of Gotham, is getting married. Just... not yet. Right now, you see, he's got a science mystery to solve—in Kansas of all places.

    ***

    In which Bruce helps out around the place, digs around in the dirt after space rocks, uncovers several decades-worth of buried secrets, falls more than a little bit in love, tells a lot of lies, is part of the Great Cow Rescue of 1935, and (a couple of times) is rescued himself.
