Summary
As Kenzo reaches his bedside, Dieter stirs, turning over enough to reveal his face. It's pallid, and Kenzo is reaching for his forehead even as the boy squints open his eyes.
“Tenma,” he rasps. “When’d you…”
Sure enough, he has a fever. Kenzo takes his hand back and meets Dieter’s barely-open eyes. “I just got home. How are you feeling?”
The kid groans as loudly as he likely can and says, “Bad.”
~
Tenma looks after teenage Dieter, who didn't tell him he was sick until now.

Summary
"There is no middle ground, just as there is no haze between the Day and Night, no question of their collision. There are only two paths ahead, and one of them she could never consider.
Paying the reward is an inevitability. Every moment she spends here, though amorphous and questionably equivalent to her reality, is one where she is useless to bring her family’s collective dream into fruition.
Though unsure if it is simply her mind or it physically reflecting into this space, Emma gazes down into the Night and sees the memories of childhood – not clear and objective like a picture, but foggy in every sense and with corners softened by time, melted in the tender heat of emotion."
~
Emma lingers before a god in the Day and Night, drifting through her memories before she accepts the reward.

Summary
"Once the train pulls into the station and stops, Emma is one of the first people off. It feels good to have solid brick under her boots, to look around at the lingering Christmas decorations as she heads for the north exit, even to feel the sting of the freezing air against her cheeks. It’s crowded today – understandably, for New Year’s Eve.
She’s unfamiliar with this town, but just couldn’t wait for Norman and Ray to come all the way home to see them. Better to get them right after their meeting and grab morning tea at a nice cafe. She knows Ray in particular enjoys the indulgence.
Sometimes, Emma, this version of herself, is taken aback by the intensity of her feelings. It’s as if they happen to her, visit this vessel of a body, rather than go through her. It’s the abstract things that bleed through the most – in the time when it was just her and Alex, and her first few months with her rediscovered family, it manifested as a lot of crying."
~
On New Year's Eve, a 19-year-old Emma meets Ray and Norman with a proposition.

Summary
Martha drives home from Smallville Elementary School at 11am on a Thursday. The rain spritzes her windscreen with droplets which the wiper pushes away in long, lazy strokes. The radio is playing some old song she never cared for, turned low. And her son is sitting in the passenger seat, breathing his way through the final throes of panic.
“That’s right, baby,” Martha murmurs, keeping her eyes on the road. “Deep breaths, like that, like we practised.”
~
Martha's son sees the world differently.
(Kryptonians evolved under a red sun. Naturally, their colour perception is strange on Earth.)

Summary
Supervening -- interrupting, intervening, but built firmly on what came before. These are the truths of the DC universe, here specifically surrounding Clark Kent and his family.
It begins with the loss of a distant world, and a ship that crashes in the sunny Kansas fields.
This is Martha Kent’s story. And Clark Kent’s, and Lois Lane’s. And Mae Kent’s, and Kon-El’s, and John Henry Irons’, and Christopher Kent’s, and

Summary
Every hockey player knows the Stanley Cup is supposed to be magic.
Most of them know the stories about wishes and curses and visions of things that never happened.
A few players know for themselves what the Cup's magic can do.
What no one knows is what the Cup's magic is.
What it is, is old. Powerful. Dangerous.
And it has been waiting for someone like Jack Zimmermann for a very long time.
Too bad Jack can't remember why. Or what he's supposed to do about it.

Bookmarker's Notes
"It's Only a Change of Time" | Check Please! | Sophia_Prester | 29/29
Jack-centric time loop story with Stanley Cup magic and a lot of well-written angst. Canon divergent after Jack's Cup win at the end of Year 3. Johnson is a major character (second billing!). Featuring Zimbits romance and some fluff but main focus on figuring out the mystery and such. Just. The best.

Summary
Jon and Martin find themselves back in 2011 after attempting to release the fears from their reality. The world is the same one they left behind, but now something has come back with them. They have a chance to destroy the fears once and for all, but it proves harder than expected. Who knew that the best laid plans could be thwarted by nosy co-workers, office romance, the inevitable learning curve of being a time traveler turned grifter, and the refusal to believe in subtlety?
