    Summary

    Clark rubbed the bridge of his nose, sighed, and considered whether this counted as a medical emergency, a spiritual awakening, or—most likely—a side effect of fighting off an alien beetle uprising in Thailand approximately sixteen hours ago.

    He decided a trip to the Fortress of Solitude was in order.

    Jor-El’s scans were, in typical Kryptonian fashion, helpful in that profoundly unhelpful way. Yes, there was a new mental link in Clark’s neural architecture. No, it wasn’t alien interference or telepathic mind-control or residual psychic bug-sting.

    It was familial.

    “Your offspring ,” the AI intoned with such mechanical certainty that Clark had to sit down immediately. Not out of physical fatigue, but because his body had made the executive decision that the only safe direction was down.

    The following existential crisis to such a revelation arrived precisely as scheduled.

    Summary

    Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
    Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?

    Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”

    Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”

    Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”

    “FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

    Summary

    “I’ll see you again?” She’d asked. “Someday, when we’re older.”

     

    “Obviously,” he told her. A promise without any boundaries, without any concrete truth.

     

    “Obviously,” she whispered back. Like it was that simple.

     

    -

    For her, summer did not exist before him. Now that it's been gone for so long, she wonders if it ever truly existed at all.

    Summary

    Grantaire’s first flower appears when he is two years old. It’s late, for a First Bloom, considering some children are born with their First already etched above their hearts, but Grantaire’s parents are warm and loving and wait to see what sort of child they have born unto the world.

    His First Bloom, when it comes, is vibrant patch of yellow carnations. He is too young to know what it means, and his parents don’t tell him, just—withdraw, and a much smaller patch of yellow carnations appears on his mother’s ankle.
