Summary
Time travel. Babs had said ‘malfunction’, Babs had said ‘not sure how far’, Babs had said ‘significantly longer.’ Dick really hadn’t been mentally present when she’d been explaining the details, but he certainly hadn’t been expecting ‘significantly longer’ to mean years. And yet, there was the evidence, in Tim’s face, in the very familiar couch he was now resting on that decidedly wasn’t the couch in Babs’s apartment.
Or: a freak accident lands a grieving Dick several years in the past. It goes about as well as you’d expect.

Summary
Bruce leaves regular patrols to Cass more often than not, these days, like he leaves the League to Dick. Retirement in phases, he’d called it, mumbling into Talia’s jasmine-scented hair. I won’t give it up yet, and Cass is still learning. But I need more time, now.
(Bruce, an ambiguous amount of years into the future, and the many children who haunt his home.)

Summary
Last time Diana had been home, she had hoisted Donna into her strong arms and carried her far above the island, shooting up like a comet, hanging so high in the sky that Donna’s teeth chattered and they could see the horizon stretch out in every direction. The first thing she’d said had been it’s cold, and Diana had laughed, wrapping her up tighter in an embrace.
Diana had not been home in six months.
(Or: Donna’s childhood on Themyscira. It isn’t always easy, to be a human girl among Amazons.)

Summary
She slows, just enough to catch his expression. He raises his head slightly. His eyes peek out from beneath the curtain of red hair.
They are very, very green. Nothing at all like the faded color of the pictures.
Something like lightning surges through her. She breaks his gaze, walking past him. You might not know me, she thinks. But I know you, Wally West.
(Or: Wally and Linda find each other, just like in every other universe. This one decides to throw them a few challenges of its own.)

Summary
“I know that I did not ask you beforehand,” Barda conceded, “So you are of course free to decline.”
Scott stood on his tip-toes, peering into the large cage that his wife was holding. The cage that was squeaking profusely.

Summary
The truth was that the decision had very little to do with Bruce, or Tim, or even Dick himself. There were two reasons why he couldn’t go; or, more accurately, two reasons why he had to stay.
Or: Dick takes Rose and Sophia with him to New York. It's just him, two new little sister figures, an apartment, and a whole universe of guilt and grief.

Summary
There was an acute sense of shame making its way through Wally’s body. He felt heat rise in his cheeks. And what kind of father, what kind of person would need to check constantly that his children were still there in the bassinet, would distrust the baby monitors, would surge awake half a dozen times in one night with a panicky feeling in his ribs that insisted they weren't really there? Not a normal one, certainly.
Or: Wally West is the fastest man alive. He's also a father now. Turns out he has a lot to learn from his twin babies. It also turns out nothing stays buried forever, no matter how much he wishes it could.

Summary
Lian’s eyes swept across the briefing table in the meeting room, taking stock of her teammates. Maya was quiet and scowling mildly as usual. Irey was leaned all the way back in her chair, feet propped up on the table, head lolled back to stare at the ceiling. Tai looked bleary-eyed and ready to fall asleep sitting up. Maps was distracted by fidgeting with the beads on her bracelet. Chris was actually reading a book. Damian alone was sitting ramrod straight and attentive, staring at Lian like his eyes would bore holes through her.
Or: Lian Harper is the leader of her generation of Teen Titans. She's never really gotten along too well with Damian.

Summary
Fiona wasn’t sure she was ready for a serious talk with Shilo. They’d been dating two months now, which in the grand scheme of things was basically nothing, but, well, it was long enough that ‘a serious talk’ could mean anything at all. Fiona begged to whatever God was out there that he wasn’t about to propose in his shitty dorm room. Not that that was in any way likely, but. You never knew with Shilo.

Bruce is back from the dead. Cass takes a moment to say hello.

Summary
It had been somewhere close to a year now, since Bruce had come back, and anyone could clock that Dick had been relatively touch and go. Or perhaps, rather, one could say that he appeared sparsely and sporadically, never for very long, and was always on his way before you could really ask him anything. He was around, sure, he had been to Gotham, sure, and most importantly of all: no feuds or underlying bitter tensions were crackling in their little web. Everything was fine, seemingly, except for the fact that if Dick spent more than twenty consecutive minutes in Gotham he felt himself start breaking out in hives.

Summary
Always a marvel, listening to him talk. It made her veins thrum, her palms itch. I did not hear your voice for eight years. For all she knew, he had no voice at all. And now here he was, word after word after word. A part of her wanted to revel in it, soak it up, like it was sunlight or water or something to stop her from starving.

Summary
In the mirror again, was her first thought, which was then violently rejected. Somewhere someone was laughing.
You’re spiraling, Donna, she chastised herself. Quite harshly. That isn’t real and you know it. It didn’t matter that she’d barely remembered to uncover the mirrors before Cassie came to stay; unfurling the towels that had been unceremoniously draped months before and wincing away from her own reflection. That didn’t matter. It didn’t mean anything. Donna Troy had not been born on Themyscira, everyone knew that. There was no mirror. There had never been a mirror.
(Donna, faced with the ghosts of herself.)

Summary
Bruce died and Cass couldn’t breathe for a week. She didn’t want to believe it at first, didn’t want to even think of it. She knew Bruce and she knew death and they didn’t fit together, not at all.
He was gone, gone like Brenda and Bludhaven, gone like Steph had been. Like Faizul. She felt it inside of her, so keenly it was as if she had killed him by her own hand. She could search the whole earth and not find a trace of him. It was too much. The pressure was squeezing her insides, left her constantly choking for air. She couldn’t stop dry heaving.
Or: Bruce is dead. Instead of leaving, Cass stays in Gotham. She learns a thing or two about being Batman.

Summary
No one had touched Bart Allen until he was twelve years old. Well- that wasn’t quite true. His mother had touched him, surely, and it made sense that the Dominators had since they had kidnapped him. The lab technicians had definitely touched him in the process of hooking him into the machines. But that was so long ago, and he couldn’t remember any of it. Maybe none of it was even real.
The first few moments of Bart’s rebirth were cold. The wires dropped from his head, un-inserting themselves like limp spaghetti noodles. The blinding white of the Earthgov lab blared suddenly across his vision, replacing the green countryside he’d been in just seconds before. Bart had crumpled, a marionette without his strings, curling in on himself on the floor of the tank.
Or: an exploration of one Bartholomew Allen during Impulse 1995.

Summary
“Can I kiss you,” Roy asked, all gentle and polite, and Dick couldn’t say anything. He couldn’t force his tongue to form words, he couldn’t make his lips move, he couldn’t use his throat. He had to say no. Didn’t he? He couldn’t let Roy kiss him, not when he knew it was wrong, not when he knew Roy would hate him for it later, not when it scared him so bad he couldn't breathe. Roy was just looking at him, waiting for an answer. Like it was simple. Dick felt like the universe was closing in on him.
Or: Dick and Roy, through the years, over and over again.

Summary
Hey there! You’ve reached the one and only Wally West, the fastest man alive! No idea when I’ll be back but if you’ve got something super important to tell me leave a message at the beep and all that! Thanks! What? Oh, come on Linda, it won’t hurt anything it’s just a little jo-
[BEEP]
Or, Wally and Linda go on vacation for one week. How much could they possibly miss? Voicemails from the Flashfamily.

Summary
Mia woke up in a cold sweat. She was shivering- more than that, really, more like trembling. Convulsing. Like an earthquake in her bones.
The sheets were wet against her back. It was…sweat, her sweat, she could feel it plastering her pajamas to her skin, dripping through her hair down to the nape of her neck. Shit, was her first thought, as if through a haze. These are Ollie’s. A too-big t-shirt and sweatpants, pilfered from his closet when he wasn’t looking. She had been pretty sure he wouldn’t mind. They were comfy, anyway, and Mia had a habit of snatching things first and thinking later. They were all rumpled with sweat now, though…would he get mad? Would he be angry at her, for ruining his clothes?
Or, Mia wakes up in the middle of the night with a bad fever. She can't quite think straight. Things go about how you'd expect.

Summary
After the death of his parents, Wei Wuxian is adopted by the Wens instead of the Jiang. He grows up with Wen Qing and Wen Ning instead of Jiang Yanli and Jiang Cheng; he is made more vicious in the rocky peaks of Qishan than he would in the watery piers of Yunmeng.
Some things change and some things stay the same.
