    Summary

    “How’d you get stuck with babysitting duty anyway?” Boba asked one day during dinner.

    “Oh, I volunteered for this,” Fox told him.

    “Why the kark would you do that?”

    “Language,” Fox admonished. “Well, I was just living my normal boring life and I thought to myself, ‘I don’t get called an ugly piece of banthashit often enough.’ So I decided to adopt you.”

    Boba snorted. “You’re a psychopath,” he told Fox.

    “I’ve been called worse,” Fox replied breezily.

     

    Boba doesn’t find a new family and Fox doesn’t become anybody’s dad; an adoption story.

    Summary

    “Well, uh,” Roz starts, sounding somewhat embarrassed. “We just wanted to let you know—you’re the first to find out, of course, Gorgug, because you’re the most important person that this pertains to, and we really think-“

    “We’re having a baby!” Gorbag cheers, and Gorgug fully drops his crystal on his dad’s head.

    Summary

    Gorgug pictures his parents crying at his funeral. The metal flower they would bury him with. Their families, smug eyes and I told you so on their lips. Kristen, a cautionary tale of why those in Helio’s light shouldn't reach for those who aren't.

     

    It's remembering Kristen that always makes him stumble in his melancholy. If he wasn't brought back, he can manage. But if Kristen were trapped in a place where bad things happened to good people and loving fathers turn their backs on their sons and Chosen Ones are random… The thought fills him with adrenaline, staring up at the empty night sky, listening to his friends’ quiet breathing.

     

    Kristen didn't deserve to die. And if that's true, then Gorgug didn't deserve to die either.

    Summary

    The first memory Jason has is waking up on the operating table, his dose of anesthesia half what it should have been, and looking down his body at his cracked open chest.

    He’s lucky to be alive, they tell him; he can’t remember his last name. Next came physical therapy, discharge, a temporary Wayne Fund apartment. His GED, his undergrad, and med school. A life.

    Still, Jason has never managed to shake the memory of where he started: bright lights, the warm insides of his own body, and the iron-cauterized scent of blood. Yeah, Jason believes in heaven and Hell. Jason believes in punishment, and the afterlife.

    OR

    Amnesiatic Jason works in a hospital, trying to pick up the pieces of his forgotten life, and fights in an underground boxing ring to make ends meet. But Gotham's systems are corrupt, something is brewing in its underbelly, and Jason doesn’t know if he can trust the vigilantes stalking his city at night.

    “Do you miss it?” Gorgug asks. Ice leaks into Fig’s stomach.

    “Miss what?”

    Drinking? Drugs? The burn of tequila down the back of her throat? The smoky-sweet haze settling under her skin until she feels liquid and calm? The buzz at the back of her head, but one she can control; one she can ride out like a surfer on a ten foot wave? Feeling human and likable and electric and real?

    Yeah. She misses it.

    “Performing,” Gorgug clarifies.

    Summary

    Jason is both annoyed and weirdly flattered when the replacement turns up to ask him for help. He mentally rearranges his calendar so he can be free Wednesday evening and says, “No, fuck off, I have very important business going on.”
    Tim eyes his 72” TV playing Japanese wrestling more judgmentally than it really deserves.

    “Important crime things,” Jason emphasizes. “Make Wingdick do it.”

    Jason doesn't think much of it when Tim needs his help, or Damian moves in, or even when Dick turns up looking beat all to hell. But at some point he realizes that he might be the best option his brothers have to recover from the cycle of violence that Batman has set up, and all he can think is that things were much easier when he was the villain.

    Summary

    When people looked at Skull, they saw the Greatest Stuntman in the World or an ignorant civilian. They forgot that Flames were desirable in the Mafia, so eventually even Skull would have come in contact with the Mafia before Luce. He was the strongest Cloud in the World after all. Of course, he wouldn't be an ignorant civilian even if he weren't part of the Mafia.

    Summary

    If the squirrel no longer fears Yan, then he must find something that she does fear, and that is this. And this needs to be implemented in the garden immediately, if Yan hopes to protect any more tomatoes.

    “My apprentice,” Sidious says, “I have noted that you have been absent from your post lately.”

    “Taken ill, I have been, my master,” Yan says smoothly, as though he is not one such person who waltzes around town wielding a great, horned, plastoid bird.

    Sidious blinks in a fashion that resembles the very same creature in Yan’s hands. Yan blinks back innocently.

    “May we walk?” Sidious asks.

    “We may indeed,” Yan says.

    (Dooku joined the darkside because he thought it would take him away from a life tied up in red tape and, finding that what was awaiting for him on the other side of the Force was just more goddamn red tape, he moves out to the country to an old cottage and demands that his grandkids come help him set up a pig pen.)
