Summary
Batman is the embodiment of vengeance, crafted out of living shadows and the hearts of the unavenged. The world's greatest detective, creepiest cryptid, and all-round Scary Guy, there's nothing he can't handle. At least, not until nine-year-old Dick Grayson shows up and Batman has to figure out how to be a dad.
Armed with a new civilian identity, the deceased Wayne family's fortune, and an all-powerful butler cryptid just as confused with humanity as he is, Batman (now Bruce) is ready to take the world by storm... He probably should've gotten some more outside sources to base his civilian personality on, though. Listening to Dick was all well and good, but nobody was quite ready for Brucie Wayne.

Summary
“Hi, you probably don’t remember me, but I’m Eddie. I called I think about five weeks ago.”
“Yeah, of course I remember you.”
You never forget your first.
A stand-up comedian working the graveyard shift at a suicide hotline. It sounds like the setup to some tasteless joke.

Summary
"'I just need you to take a step back, just for a little bit. It’s not permanent; it’s just until Ana and I can get our feet under us, you know?” Eddie’s eyes were worried but his smile was hopeful. Buck felt sick.
Eddie wanted him to step back, to leave. He was around too much; in their space too much; in their lives too much; always too much. God, Buck really must have exhausted them until Eddie had had enough; he couldn’t tolerate Buck anymore. Buck had to hand it to him; he’d lasted longer than anyone, besides Maddie. Maybe he should tell him that. The last man standing, finally bowing in defeat."

Summary
“I’m not leaving you, Buck.” Eddie says with a tired sigh, like he’s struggling with the weight of the world and Buck’s the one who put it there. “Just switching jobs, that’s all.”
That’s all?, Buck wants to scream, because every relationship he has is tied to the job in some way, and first Maddie left, and then it was Chimney, and now it’s Eddie. But he doesn’t scream, because that would be a little bit too tragic, even for him, and nods instead. Bites his tongue. Pretends that he isn't falling apart where he's stood.
***
Or, set post season 5A, where Buck is alone, and angry, and exhausted, but mostly terrified that everyone he loves is slowly slipping away from him.
**rated mature for heavy themes**

Summary
“Are you doing alright?” Eddie asks him with a slight frown and Buck swallows, going back to tying his shoes so he doesn’t have to look at Eddie.
“Of course,” he says simply. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
“I don’t know,” Eddie replies and Buck can feel his eyes on him. “You’ve been quiet lately.”
Buck freezes in his movements for a fraction of a second. He thought that apart from the whole dinner at Bobby’s fiasco he’s been doing a pretty good job at acting like his normal self in front of everyone.
And how has Eddie of all people noticed that something is up with him? It’s not like he pays him any attention anymore.

Summary
Lan Huan scrolls through Wei Ying’s profile, and the gentle tap of his finger against the screen shudders through Lan Zhan like the screech of a misplayed note. His whole body is tense, and he exhales slowly, working to unclench his jaw by degrees.
“It says here,” Lan Huan says with characteristic good humour, “that he’s looking for fun.” He nudges Lan Zhan with the tip of his toe. “You could do with some fun in your life.”
Lan Zhan could do with a new brother. “No,” he says, shifting out of Lan Huan’s range. “Thank you.”
---
When his brother creates a dating profile for him, Lan Zhan doesn't expect to match with the most obnoxious vendor at the Farmers' Market. Wei Ying is looking for fun, Lan Zhan wants out of this mess, and Lan Huan just wants his brother to be happy.

Summary
If Wei Ying had been asked “what sort of pajamas does Lan Zhan wear to bed?” her answer might have been: something utilitarian, like shorts and a t-shirt. Or maybe a set of striped pajamas, like the kind grandpas wear. It would never, in a million years, have occurred to her to say “a slinky silky lacy cami and tiny shorts set,” but that is what she is currently staring—gaping—at as Lan Zhan makes her way from the bathroom to her side of the hotel room.

Summary
An unknown darkness plunges the world into chaos. With it, the dead rise.
Having died that day in 1925 and clawed his way out of the ground as one of the rabid undead, Thomas finds himself three years later in London just trying to get by. He avoids attention, most of the time, until his past comes rushing towards him on the busy pavements of Oxford Street.
Reconciling his death with this new reality is hard enough. Holding on when the love of his life paints colour back to his world proves even more difficult, when everything hinges on keeping one's head down, holding one's secrets close, and vials of blue medicine that keep the monster at bay.

Working at Helen’s Kitchen can drain the life out of you; too bad Buffy doesn’t have much of a life left. So really, it shouldn’t be a surprise that running into Spike is enough to throw what little she still has up in the air. When a chance encounter sends the Slayer and vampire spiraling into the bowels of hell, their only hope of escape is each other. Will the bond they forge there be enough to survive? Or will it destroy them both?
