    Summary

    If Bruce wasn't so busy investigating the Red Hood, he might have realised that, while Jack Drake is in a coma and Tim is grounded from patrol, Drake Industries goes broke. Overnight, the Drakes lose everything, leaving Tim without a cent to his name.

    Jason, meanwhile, cannot believe that the Bats haven't noticed yet that something is obviously wrong with the Replacement.

    *

    It’s weird, being poor. At the moment, Tim has precisely eleven dollars to his name. Drake Industries, gone. Their assets, gone. His trust fund, being used to pay for his father’s hospital bills. The house is gone, too. That's okay. Tim is okay. Sometimes, though, he lies awake at night, and he can’t help but wonder. Does Bruce know? He definitely doesn’t, obviously. But, does he?

    This story is ridiculous. Made me cackle so hard every few lines and the inevitable reread in like a year will be great fun.

    Summary

    “Hey there, Parker. I’ve got some exciting news about your community service sentencing,” the bright voice from the other line says. "It looks like you've been reassigned."

    “Oh, yeah?” Peter asks, warily. His social worker sounds excited, but he's been burned a few too many times to take any "good news" at face value.

    Peter listens to her explain with a furrowed brow, and when the call is over, he opens the web browser on his cracked Android and quickly types the words september foundation into the search bar. His eyes narrow as he peruses the top result.

    Oh, he is going to kill that Stark bastard.

    -

    All Peter Parker wants to do is fly under the radar. He wants to go to school, work off his sentence by picking up trash at the stupid park, and avoid going home for as long as possible each night. Unfortunately for him, Tony Stark has never been one to see untapped potential and not do something about it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A little on the darker side of my usual preference and this one has no spider-man, but the characterization is on point given the AU circumstances of the characters. I also liked the addition of Ben and May's son Benji a lot better than I've liked other OC siblings in foster care AUs. With elements like Skip and foster care, the story somehow avoided being trope-y in a way I loved.

    The pacing in it is perfect and the writing is great too. Helped break a long-fic dry spell and made me stay up past my bedtime for the first time in a while.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Bit of a taste breaker since it's star wars and I don't even know if I want to reread it, but I would say this is a story that made me think (and cry a little.) It's about Leia visiting Anakin Skywalker for the first time when he's a few days out from his execution (this is a sequel to a story I didn't read, don't ask.) The entire story is just their first and last conversation. The "I don't forgive you" trope usually annoys me, but in this case it felt well executed. All I wanted was for them to somehow break out and have a life together, but it wasn't meant to be.

    Summary

    He frowns and picks the picture up, angling it to better see it in the light of the fluorescents of the hallway shining in. He looks over to Ellie’s sleeping face, smooth now in a brief reprieve from nightmares. He looks back to the picture. Back to Ellie. Back to the picture.

    It’s…it’s her. It has to be. Same nose, same eyes, same ears. The baby has the soft roundness of a young infant that makes it hard to tell jaw shape or cheekbones, but there’s no denying it.

    He’s holding a picture of an infant Ellie.

    Summary

    “Why the hell would you do that?”

     

    The desperation is ratcheting up as he tries to clumsily shrug out of his over shirt and ball it up as a makeshift bandage to lay over her side. His dark eyes, so like Joel’s, pool with moisture, and it’s everything she can do not to look away, cheeks prickling with heat.

     

    “You took that bite for me,” Tommy says, voice cracking and trembling with barely repressed rage and terror. “Why the fuck would you do that?”
