    Summary

    Miles watches Phoenix draw another heart in the sand. His mind feels quicker than usual, jumping from thought to thought, to the last time they saw each other in Phoenix’s office, to the feeling of his tears hot on Miles’s shirt, to the coffee from this morning still buzzing in his body. He watches Phoenix in silence for a moment, transfixed by the way his finger carves shapes into the shifting sand.

    “I’ve been thinking,” he says. “About the last time we saw each other. Six months ago. In your office.”

     

    Over magic tricks, glasses of wine, stubborn grains of sand clinging to their hair, and the fear that an ill advised meeting at Phoenix’s office following his disbarment months before has tainted their relationship, Miles hosts Phoenix and his new ward at his beach house.

    Summary

    The prosecutor cocked a brow and tried not to comment on ‘worrying’ being his default state, in regard to Phoenix’s affairs. “Typically, being told not to worry tends to accelerate one’s predilections toward such a state, but I digress. Did you need something?”

    “Well, I… Yeah. Yeah, I guess I just need a favor.”

    “Of course,” he said without a second thought. “Anything.”

    (It probably should have frightened him, just how literally he meant that.)

    In which Trucy is sick, and it takes a village (i.e., two very determined men) to help her get better.

    Summary

    “I’m being serious, asshat,” Jason hisses, swatting his hands away from his face. “You have to tell me what year it is.”

    Nightwing crosses his arms a little petulantly. “It’s 2017. Happy?”

    Jason freezes, breath catching in his throat. 2017. Five years ago. He was…he was fifteen. “Shit,” he murmurs. He’s going to eviscerate Tim.

    Or: Red Hood Jason and 15-year-old Jason swap timelines, landing one week before 15-year-old Jason is supposed to die.

    Summary

    They eat the tiramisu outside on the patio and Miles brings the radio with them, where voices chat lightly in Italian, sometimes laughing or playing music. Occasionally, Phoenix asks for a translation, and Miles slips in and out of the two languages seamlessly - he doesn’t even care much for what they’re saying, Phoenix just likes to hear him repeat the words back to him. “Pirla,” Miles says, spooning at a layer of cocoa-powder, “it means ‘idiot’ or 'stupid person'.”

    “Pirla.” He repeats, in full-blown American. “And what are they saying now?”

    “They’re talking about how much they hate their husbands.”

    “Jesus. Why does everyone always hate their husbands?”

    Phoenix makes dinner. A week spent in Lake Como, 2022.
