Summary
Chris Kent had given up things no person should ever have to, and all before his 10th birthday.
Fate, the universe, causality, divinity--Chris understood the cruelty of reality better than most. Not everyone got a happy ending, and Chris thought he'd accepted that he was one of those unfortunate souls. It was okay, he'd helped people, proven that he was more that his origins. It was worth something, in the end.
...He missed the sun, though. More than anything else, he wished he could feel its warm light on his skin, if only for a moment.
He never expected that wish to come true.
Which was why he hadn’t considered what he'd do if it did.

Summary
DC has a lot of young heroes and legacy characters and most of them don't actually get to do too much. Or consistently exist. Or complete characters arcs.
Sounds like free real estate to me. Plus, a few new ones couldn't hurt right?

Summary
Does the phoenix fear the fire?
Everyone knows it is necessary. The phoenix has to die in a burst of flame so that it can be reborn from the ashes.
But would that make it any easier to stand the sight of feathers turning to ash, of flesh withering, the scent of cooked meat in the air?
Talia al Ghul understands the phoenix. And she understands it would not.
After all, in order to be reborn, first you have to die.
A what if situation - what if Talia got to / had to experience Lazarus Pit rage when she got dunked in the pit in Batman 335

Summary
How odd, Damian thinks to himself, that this feels familiar. Hands pressed to his chest, and his moniker, his name, called like a summoning. Bone suddenly shifts in his ribcage and he jerks upward with a wheezing breath, almost hitting the boy hunched above him. “What-” he tries, words coming short as he adjusts to the surge of pain in his lung. “What did you do?"
"It was only reasonable,” the boy says mulishly, but his breaths are shallow now too. It's hard to tell the difference between a broken rib and a cracked one, but Damian knows he should be more injured; he squints suspiciously, and the boy scowls back at him. “If we are both on the precipice, then neither of us will fall,” the boy mumbles. “Not alone."
OR:
When Damian Wayne finds a boy in the sewers, he doesn't expect magic and demons to tie them together - and he certainly doesn't expect the boy, Suren, to claim that they know each other and Damian's memory has been erased.
What's an ex-assassin to do, when a stranger claims to be his friend and magically handcuffs them together?
Well, hopefully not wind up dead...or believing in false claims of friendship.

Summary
"However, the ones that really made money were the train robbers, and of those in these parts, the Myrmidons were the swiftest and most dangerous. It surprised everyone then, when their smug leader- a handsome, fine-haired man with sharp green eyes and a glittering horse, looking more like he belonged in a wealthy brownstone out east than out in the sun and dirt- struck a strange peace with the townspeople...
So if any of the townspeople were willing to pay closer attention, they’d notice that out of all the shiny shops in town that the gang could go to, they always start with a small, dusty store right at the edge of the town limits. It’s a two-floor structure, wood bleached white by years of heavy sun, kept nicely swept with clean enough windows and organized stock.
Most important to Achilles is the handsome man that lives inside it."
