Summary
“Gotham! I am here tonight to show you the hideous face of 'truth' and its destructive power to tear apart even the closest of bonds! We’re all held together only by illusions and lies, and the ‘truth’ dissolves them all." The new villain Veritas turned towards Bruce, syringe out and pointed towards the arm chained to his podium.“NOW! Under the compulsion of the serum, expose your true feelings: Tell the world what you hate the most about: Nightwing.”
Dick froze—every argument, every accusation thrown between the two running through his mind. He wasn’t sure if he could take it—to hear it spoken truthfully and directly. Hearing all of Bruce’s hatred, contempt, and disappointment in him poured out not just in a heated yelling match in the cave but in front of Damian, in front of the whole world.
Bruce coughed, blood flicking from his lips from a failed attempt to bite his tongue, and Dick hung his head in resignation. It was at least nice to know Bruce wasn’t eager to dump out his true feelings.
“His suit.” Bruce choked, and the room went silent.
AKA: This is just a fun little thing. Bruce loves his kids so much

Summary
Everyone in Genosha knows how mutants came to be.
Decades ago, Genosha was a land with scarce resources that were constantly fought over. When Capitol came, they created a system of districts - 13 major regions, each with a specific purpose. But one day the districts repaid them by rebelling for their supposed misfortune. The rebels were many but the Capitol had strength and resources. They made their own army with the genetically engineered the x-gene - men and women who shoot lasers from their eyes and wore metallic armor as skin; mutants.
The mutants easily defeated the rebels and the Capitol’s prized soldiers lived on in the districts to keep an eye out for trouble. To create balance between humans and mutants, however, the Capitol put up protective domes over every district - they barred mutants from using their powers, unless they were needed. Those mutants eventually had babies that inherited their genes - the X Gene. To remind each resident of what mutants were and how easily the rebellion was crushed by them - the Capitol created games, in which 24 mutant children would fight to the death for the glory of their district and keeping their powers forever.
At least that's what they say.- Words:

Summary
In an effort to get out from under the thumb of his step-father, Charles chooses to become a courtesan for several minor nobles in King Erik's court. It is not long before he attracts the eye of the young king, and the Cardinal who holds the young king's ear. Charles spends months working to secure his place as King Erik's favorite and to regain his father's title of Merchant Prince. Charles hopes to disprove the old adage that once you enter the king's bed, you have nowhere to go but down.
A historical AU with alpha/omega dynamics (no heat). Not nearly as dark as the warnings might make it sound.

Summary
Painting his happiest memories is a way for him to focus on them, to… overwhelm the negative inside his mind. It might help keep the mara at bay for a while, but this is still an experimental treatment — I'm sorry, Dan Heng, but I can't say how well it will work, or for how long.
To keep himself from succumbing to mara, Jing Yuan paints. Sometimes, Dan Heng and Ren are his canvas.
