Summary
"Jason carefully bypassed the security on the window before crawling into Tim's kitchen. He had forgotten how protective of his space the kid was. Unfortunately for him, Jason needed a hard drive that he had given Tim weeks ago... Tim returned to the kitchen, no longer dressed in a suit but now in sweats and a t-shirt. Jason looked over him. His dark circles were even deeper than usual and his arms looked- Wait. His arms were covered in scars. Not just the normal bat amount but dozens and dozens of thin, straight, carefully made scars. They varied a bit in length and severity, some paler with age, some still dark and new. Some of them weren’t even scars yet. There were wounds on his arms that couldn’t even be two days old. Jason couldn’t help the choked sound that escaped his lips. What the fuck Replacement? Tim jumped at the noise, whipping around to face Jason."

Summary
"Tim’s self esteem was shot long before he became Robin...Tim didn’t know when his problem had started. He thought it was somewhere towards the beginning of seventh grade, but his memory was hazy. Contrary to what some people might believe, he didn’t do it for attention. It started because he thought he deserved it and he wanted to be in control of something. After a while, it became a habit, a comfort when everything in his life fell apart."

Summary
"Tim fell through the window, clutching his shoulder as he tried to shove it shut behind him. Jason’s silent perimeter alarm was going off and Tim could hear his phone dinging with the alert in the next room. He was going to be pissed if Tim got blood on his rug. Tim made sure his cap was wrapped securely around his shoulder, absorbing the blood and compressing the wound, before venturing towards the bathroom...Tim sighed deeply. “Yeah,” he called out. Jason pushed open the door and walked over to where Tim was sitting on the lid of the toilet. He rested the cane he had been using against the counter and sat on the edge of the tub, gesturing for Tim to hand him the first aid kit. You know what, I’m not even gonna touch that right now, Tim thought, staring at the cane before turning to Jason as his brother tapped him."

Summary
"At 29, Lois Lane had everything she could have ever dreamed of: a Pulitzer, her dream job, a cozy little apartment, and a ridiculous boyfriend who loved her dearly...Lois didn’t really remember when she started having problems with food. She thought it was somewhere around 8th grade, just after her parents divorced."

Summary
"Christmas in Gotham was Jason’s favourite time of year. It was still Gotham, still dirty and crowded and prone to get you stabbed, but it was the holidays.
Jason loved Christmas, but his body over the years developed an aversion to winter. The chill air caused his bones and muscles to ache, his joints more brittle than usual, popping and cracking with every movement. It wreaked havoc on his spine, ribs, and bad hip, the pain leaving him unable to move some days... As complicated as his feelings towards the manor were, staying there at Christmas always felt like coming home."
----
I was too festive and ended up in a flare so now I'm giving it to Jason. Happy holidays!

Summary
“Hey, Merlin, are you—” Leon cut himself off the moment he stepped into his friends’ bedroom doorway, falling silent as he stared at the scene before him. “Uh oh… It’s one of those days, hm?” He asked, voice soft, as his eyes trailed over the familiar red the warlock has wrapped himself in on his bed.

Summary
“As you know, I have made a vow never to give you information that could potentially alter your destiny. Your path is yours to walk, and yours alone. That being said, tribbles were the most troubling adversary the Enterprise ever faced. They are hypnotizing, ruthless, and will not hesitate to multiply until they fill every inch of your starship.”
“Did you overcome the infestation?”
“At great cost, yes.”
