Summary
He eyed the stranger, wary. Combat boots, yep, body armor, check, holsters—guns, multiple, not good—leather jacket, and…a red helmet?
Something pinged in Dick’s memory: the newest crime lord in Gotham, the one who had taken over Crime Alley. He was calling himself Red Hood, Joker’s old alias. So then, this was…
Fuck.
The Red Hood saves Nightwing from a burning warehouse. Then again from a non-burning warehouse. Then takes him to his safehouse and patches him up. Dick's at a loss. Why is Hood doing this, and what the hell does he want?

Summary
Nightwing had been investigating the building alone when it blew. Didn’t even seem like foul play, just wrong place, wrong time, wrong gas leak, etc. Red Robin had been posted as lookout, which meant he was first on the scene to find that the ceiling and the entire first floor had given way, sending Nightwing and a roof’s worth of debris down into the basement. Dick’s now wedged in the intersection of two slabs of concrete dislodged by the blast, reclining awkwardly against another pile of debris. Just the fall and blast injuries would’ve been bad enough, but the universe is never that kind.
Or: Nightwing's caught in a freak building collapse. His family races to free him.

Transcript Log C1742
Red Hood: Man, this fuckin' blows.
Nightwing: I know, I know. Not the ideal way to spend an afternoon. [sound: battle cry] Aw, crap, again? Incoming! [sound: impact: metal on flesh][sound: groans]
Red Hood: [grunt] Why don’t they let us in on the fun, huh? Greedy bastards. [sound: gunshots]
Nightwing: This isn’t enough fun for you?
Red Hood: Piss off, you know what I mean.
Nightwing: You mean, why didn’t the Justice League go out of their way to enlist a handful of random, non-meta vigilantes to fight a global invading force of hawk people based in spaceships who can also fly? [sarcastic] I don’t know, Hood, why d’you think?
In which the Justice League aren't the only ones defending the earth during the Thanagarian invasion, Batman is an absolute dinglehopper, lectures abound, bets are made, and hugs are both given and received.

Summary
“Come help us map this tomb,” they said. “It’ll be fun,” they said.
Liu Sang does not have fun. Instead, he and the Iron Triangle encounter a new species of tomb creature whose venom forces its victims to answer all questions truthfully. Two guesses as to how they find that out. But Liu Sang does also solve two significant mysteries and learn what real trust feels like. So maybe things aren't all bad.

Summary
"It’s common knowledge at this point in the semester that Kuroo Tetsurou despises drawing with charcoal. It’s not that he can’t do it, just that he hates the feel of the stuff, how it snags against the paper, the mess it makes of skin and clothes, how impossible it is to erase. There’s no turning back with charcoal; once you decide to mark a spot on the paper, that’s it."
Or, Kenma is a model for Tetsurou's life drawing class, and Tetsurou struggles in more ways than one.

Summary
It’s barely audible, but he knows what he heard. A short, four-note whistle, chirping down – E, C#, then jumping up to A, F#, a little trill on the finish. He waits a moment, head turned slightly towards the dim shapes of storage containers between him and the ramp, eyes straining against the blackness. Long, stretching seconds.
There it is again. His gloved hand, prickling with cold, closes into a fist.
It’s a wood thrush. A small North American songbird that doesn’t sing at night, doesn’t live in the city. He knows what it means. It means hold, steady, not yet. It means wait for me, I’m behind you.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension. Translation: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
He’d been mistaken – never in his life has he experienced pain like this.
It’s like staring in a funhouse mirror at the carnival, Dick’s reflection coming back distorted and horrifying and otherworldly as he watches everything he’d worked for be taken from him, again, for the second time. Tony Zucco snapped that first line and then Bruce Wayne kicked off him right off the edge into the abyss.
Dick Grayson has just been fired. Dick Grayson wakes up in a world with five Robins.

Summary
“Tell me you feel it too,” says Edwin desperately, and Charles can feel the warmth of his breath and smell his skin and his wool trousers and his pomade and inside Charles’ own chest is something squeezing and fluttering and alive, alive, alive.
