face the music
i spy with my little eye the consequence of my own actions
featuring my angst aversion override that is the "oh shit i fucked up" trope or the classic "oh yeah they're actually very much not okay"
but i am also weak so there's a lot of "angst with a happy ending"

Summary
“Hi,” she says in a breathless rush, then takes a moment to swallow and wet her lips. “I, uh, need your help?”
“Are you dying?”
“N-not exactly.”
“Then you don’t need me,” comes Jason’s lazy, uninterested reply.
The call ends with a click.

Steph doesn't know what's more embarrassing: that she's been locked in a closet during a party, or the fact that her "friends" aren't really her friends.And to top it all off, Jason's the only one who can come rescue her.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

"You know I’m gonna kill you, don’t you?”
Carefully, he nodded. He tried not to swallow.
“You’re not gonna fight me?”
“No,” he whispered, raspy and true. If this was the price to pay for having a family, he was willing.
Aka, my obligatory Titan's Tower fic
Aka, Tim gives up.

Summary
“Yeah, I’ve heard of that. It’s called star tear disease. The light from the stars eventually causes blindness.”
“What do you mean ‘blindness?’ How does that work? Can’t they just not cry?”
“Well,” Puffy said carefully, “first the person loses the ability to see colors, then their distance vision fades followed by their ability to perceive shapes and depth before their sight vanishes completely. The light from the stars gradually steals the eye’s function. Usually, once the victim catches it, the disease runs its course anywhere from two weeks to a month. As for not crying, it's not really something they can stop. Tears are an overflow of emotion and the pain of their love being unrequited is so great that the victim can’t help but allow tears to flow.”
“Is there any cure for it?”
With a knowing look, Puffy answered just as quietly, “If the love the person feels were to be returned then yes, the victim’s eyesight would be returned in reverse. Otherwise there is no cure.”
OR,
When Tommy starts crying stars he believes that his family no longer loves him. Does his family still love him or is he doomed to spend the rest of his short life in darkness?

Summary
Merlin spent the week and a half that Arthur was gone splitting his time between crafting careful explanations that never ended up explaining the important things, the things that would make Arthur listen, and making half-baked plans to escape to Ealdor. He found a number of fire-proofing spells that would have no effect if they decided to cut his head off, and figured out how to adapt an invulnerability spell he had been trying to find a way to cast on Arthur without him noticing so that it would protect him from being decapitated, but it would have no effect on anything but metal. Despite all his frantic searching, he did not find a teleportation spell, because that would have been too simple and if there was one thing Merlin had learned in his years at Camelot, it was that nothing was ever simple.

He knows the pain Bruce is trying to spare, the gnawing, aching feeling of hunger that no child should ever know.
It bites at Clark -- scrapes at his very marrow, the things that sink deeper into him than Kal or Superman. To think that Gotham believes Bruce Wayne to be a man who has never known want.

Summary
Jason stared at him, waiting for Dick to crack. “You’ve thought about this.”
“What?”
“Swimming in the fucking river.”
“I guess.” Dick’s shoulder lifted in a shrug, agreeing without agreeing. “It’s a nice night. We should try it.”
