Summary
“My Abuela said it,” Silvio insists. “She said you have to wear the hat, because you have a pale ass so you’re going to get skin cancer and die before Lance even wakes up.”
Keith looks between the children and the hat, too confused to glare, sweaty and horrid from pulling weeds beneath the scorching sun. “What?”
“That’s wrong,” Nadia complains, and yanks her brother down to her level to whisper the correction in his ear.
“Ooh,” Silvio amends. “Tía Veronica said you have a pale ass. My Abuela said you’re gonna die.”
OR
When Lance is fatally wounded during their final battle, the blue lion enters a deep hibernation with Lance inside. Unsure when or if he’ll wake, Keith is forced to wait and watch over him in the company of the people he fears most: Lance’s family.

Summary
“What if he kills us?” Hunk whispers.
“What if?” Keith barks. “What else are we going to do? If we make him angry, it’s going to make things worse. Like he said, we’re trapped here. Our best bet is to play his games and try for the reward."
OR

Summary
“H-Hey!” Lance hoists up his rifle. “Look, I know you guys are all about mystery, but if you’re going to drag me around I need a name. Coran makes us write these reports, and—anyway, what do I call you?”
The fighter doesn’t break his sprint.
Lance pops an approaching climber off the side of the building with a blast to the stomach. He doesn’t watch them go careening down. “You’re kind of small for a Blade, so maybe Tiny? Shortstack? Shrimpman? Do you guys have, like, school ID numbers?”
No response except the squelch of a sword sinking into flesh and being pulled back out. They’re almost at the top of the stairs. “You’re also real quiet. Maybe…Mr. Sneaky? Ninja? Samura— ah, um. Rogue?”
The Blade stutters to a stop, masked eyes flashing over Lance for only a second. It could have been anything, but so far he’s had nothing, so Lance grasps it with both hands. “Rogue! Awesome. So, I’ll ask again, where in Altea’s name are we going?”

Summary
“You know,” JJ said, voice quieter now, the kind of tone he only used when things actually mattered, “you’ve been doing this whole ‘dad’ thing for a long time already. You just didn’t call it that.”
John B didn’t move, but JJ felt the breath catch in his chest anyway.
“I mean it,” JJ continued, nudging his knee against John B’s. “You were there when nobody else was. When I was crashing at the Chateau because I didn’t wanna go home? You never made it weird. You just tossed me a pillow and told me the pullout was mine. You were thirteen, B. Who the hell thinks about that at thirteen?”
OR
At the start of Season 4, in the calm of Poguelandia 2.0, John B shares with JJ that Sarah is pregnant, and that he's about to be a dad.

Summary
“He’s just really sunny. Like, everything feels better when he’s around. But he doesn’t get a lot of… good stuff. Not like we do. And I think he needs someone to love him. I just… I love him. A lot.”
Pope looked thoughtful, then shrugged. “That’s okay. You can like whoever you want. I think it’s nice.”
John B nodded, the tight feeling in his chest easing a little. He didn’t have the right words for what he felt—not yet—but he knew it mattered.
Even in third grade, it mattered.
OR

Summary
He bites his lip again, like the pain will shake him awake if this is all a dream. It feels like it is, being comfortable and warm and surrounded by people who love him regardless of the things he hates most. His past and his scars and his fears. He doesn’t wake up, though, and he thanks the God he doesn’t know if he believes in.
He sleeps in his bed. Kiara by his side, pressed against his chest. They sleep with the window open and the door cracked, just so he doesn’t feel trapped. They talk and talk, about everything and nothing in the comfort of the dark. The only light coming from the moon and the stars outside.
AKA The Pogues buy the house JJ grew up in, and they pour their hearts into making it a home. Even when JJ can't sleep in his childhood bedroom or share the memories of his past, they stick by his side and carry him through the change. He's never been more grateful. A further take on how JJ copes with buying back the Maybank house, and the first few days after moving in.

Summary
He’s just finished the second braid when there’s a squeak from down the hall like rubber on linoleum. His head shoots up, followed quickly by Kiara’s and Cleo’s. Pope is last, his dark eyes blinking rapidly as he follows everyone’s gaze to where John B is skidding – and slipping – to a stop in front of them.
His hair stands up at every angle, the curls wild and messy the way they are after a full night of partying at The Boneyard, but his smile – though sleepy – is the brightest thing JJ has ever seen in his entire life. Teary-eyed, with a wrinkled shirt, mussed hair, and eyelids that look ready to close – John B has never looked happier.
Looking between his friends slowly, John B’s eyes eventually settle on JJ. They stare at each other – something passing between them, something JJ can feel right in the center of his chest – and then John opens his mouth and practically sobs the words, “We have a daughter.”

Summary
Edwin sighed and unfolded his hands to push his hair back. “I suppose this was inevitable,” he allowed.
Charles beamed. “That’s the spirit. Look at it this way — you’ve never been to a house party before, and here’s one that’s right up your alley!”
“Ominous and full of peril?” Edwin asked sardonically.
“Exactly!” Charles agreed. “This way you get to go to a party you’ll actually like, because it’s actually a mystery. And once you solve the mystery, the party ends. I couldn’t have thrown you a better one myself.”Series

The One Where the Justice League Almost Didn’t Figure it Out by batsandthebirds

Summary
“I can vouch for him,” Cyborg said, sitting up straighter. “We’ve worked together before. I can’t promise he’d want the job though. He works out of Bludhaven, last I checked.”
Dinah perked up from where she was slumped against the table next to Oliver. “That’s next to Gotham. Batman, what do you know?”
All eyes immediately turned to where Batman sat with his arms crossed, looking impassive as always. There was a long moment of silence and the corners of Batman’s mouth turned ever so slightly downward. Finally, in a flat tone of voice that gave no more away than his face ever did, he said, “He’s… well trained. Fast. Could be useful.”
...
Also known as, the League eventually figured out that Nightwing is Batman's son, but it takes a while.

Summary
Most in the room had heard his name only in whispers—Dirtyhands, Bastard of the Barrel, the myth and monster of Ketterdam’s streets. But myths did not usually wear perfectly cut black coats and Ravkan cravats, or move with such cool precision through a ballroom full of the kingdom’s most dangerous diplomats. He leaned on a crow-headed cane, his limp unhidden, the carved beak tapping a steady rhythm on the marble as he walked.
And at his side—his plus one.
If the sight of Kaz Brekker at a Ravkan royal ball was strange, the sight of the girl on his arm was enough to stop a few conversations entirely

Summary
The war between Camelot and Balinor’s kingdom has been devastating their lands for Arthur’s whole life. It was his duty to fight for his people and lead them to victory, and there was only one way to do that—to take out Balinor’s most powerful player. His own son, Merlin.
Yet when Arthur finally meets Merlin on the battlefield, he is nothing like what he had expected.
Then when Merlin messes up an attack spell and sends them both into an unknown, lifeless world, Arthur has more time than he would have liked to truly contemplate if killing Merlin is the only way forward and out of this war. What more, they will have to work together to escape. Here, it is just them, their own prejudices, and a strange, magical house that offers to cater to their needs but demands their deepest secrets in return.
Arthur might have to face some uncomfortable truths to get out of there, and perhaps, even open his heart.
Written in 24 hours for the Tournament of Champions for the Merlin Fic Book Club server on Discord.

Summary
Arthur woke up. This was a shock since he last remembered a sword being pushed through his stomach.
(Arthur experiences a time loop after a noble successfully kills him. Anytime he dies, he wakes up the morning of the arrival of his would-be murderer. As the loops continue, the secrets he learns begin to stack up, and there's enough to shatter what he believes about his family, his life, who he loves, and what his duty is to Camelot. Here's to hoping he can uncover each lie before the weight of them crush him.)

Summary
“Charles is missing.”
“What?”
“He was–I literally left the attic for two seconds to get you, but he’s not in there. I swear I just heard him call my name and now he’s gone.”
Gone?
“Gone where?”
“I don’t know, Edwin. I turned around and he disappeared!”
“That’s ridiculous.” He blurts.
“Yeah, I’m aware. But I’m not kidding.”
A number of terrible possibilities slip into Edwin’s mind, the only bearable one being a friendly game of hide and seek. But he knows Charles wouldn’t be so cruel to play games like that. Not in the middle of a case, not after all they’ve had to cope with as of late. He’s here somewhere, he has to be.
______When a new case goes awry, the boys are separated by an unknown entity and find themselves in a place no being, alive or dead, should go.
