Summary
He opens his mouth-but how could he tell her? What would he say?
We had gone by different names before, you and I. Yours meant noble, fit for a vassal of power as bright and brilliant as yours. And mine a curse, bestowed by a monster who was a mother to a monster who was a son. Shall I tell you how the Philosian was too ancient for you to speak, the first time I gave this piece of me to you? How brightly your eyes had sparkled, how sweet your voice had sounded, when you first whispered a new name in my ear? How do I speak of this to you, when you do not remember?
Perhaps one day he will tell her. Now is not the time.
***In which memory has Sylus revisting the meadow, and the MC wishes to know his name.

Summary
He’s just begun to fruitlessly pick at his hair when there’s a bang, harsh and loud, and he ducks, dropping his comb. The second one makes him tuck and roll out of the room, reaching for a weapon. He’s got his hand on a loose wingding when there comes a harsh hiss. Water under a lot of pressure cracking off of tile. Dick creaks up into a crouch, poking his head around the doorframe, staying low. His shower is suddenly working again, water hammering into the stall and sluicing out onto the floor. His drain, never very functional, appears to have given up entirely.
It takes him half the wall to find the damn pipes and turn the water off, the shower blasting like a machine gun the whole time. For a moment there’s quiet, just water dripping. His phone rings where he left it on the counter, jumping with the vibration. BRUCE, it reads. Dick answers.
“You will not fucking believe the morning I am having,” Dick says. “Everything happens to me. I’ve told you about my landlord, right?”
“Dick,” Bruce says. Something in his voice makes the hair on the back of Dick’s neck rise.

Summary
"It's not safe for girls to get in the car with strangers, especially this late at night. I've seen Dateline," Regina says, batting her lashes. She can feel her mascara starting to clump and fights the urge to scratch her entire face off. "How do I know you're not going to take me to your creepy torture basement and chain me up?"

Summary
Being Robin feels like flying: steady, wind-whistle certainty that what he and Batman are doing is right. Even with his hands bloody, Dick doesn’t waver. He knows they’re doing good: permanently removing the murderers and criminals from Gotham.
Of course, nobody can fly forever.

Bookmarker's Notes
Arms crossed over her growing chest; she hacks them off with a kitchen knife but in the dream they always come back. Gretel cries the first time her brother fixes himself between her blood-slick thighs. Ecstasy or agony. Ecstasy and agony. This is what it means, doesn’t it, to be a woman grown? The inside of an oven like a gaping hungry maw.
