    Summary

    Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.

    The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'

    And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.

    She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.

    Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"

    Summary

    "I am allergic—or something—to SLS," he says, between gritted teeth, and doesn't look at anybody.

    Gus audibly winces. "That's in a lot of things."

    "Slim Laurence Shady? Sausages Lacking Substance? Sandal-Laundering Slanderers."

    "Sodium laureth sulfate," Gus and Woody chorus.

    "And what would I have seen her in?"

    "It's a surfactant, Shawn."

    "Okay, I know you think you're answering my question—"

    "IT'S SOAP," Carlton shouts.

    ---

    In which Carlton does not understand why his colleagues are so concerned about a minor annoyance (severe panic attack) that is temporarily inconveniencing him (making him feel like he's dying). Like he can't HANDLE flashbacks to a childhood near death experience, or something.

    Summary

    “Am I your dad!!?” Billy shouted. Danny paused. Took a deep breath in and out before turning to him.

    “I’m gonna need you to back up, and explain. Please.”

     

    Or, what happens when a twelve year old masquerading as an adult superhero calls his guardian, an adult who can also turn into a child superhero, on speaker phone, in front of the Justice League.
