Summary
Law swallows the lump in his throat. "Luffy," he says, and he can tell the rare use of his given name gives him the other captain's full attention. "Roger called me--he called me a god. A fledgling one." He watches as Luffy's eyes widen in the silence that stretches between them, before laying out the conclusion he'd regretfully come to.
"I don't think this is going to stop. For any of us."
"You fix people, though," Luffy says, and there should be nothing in this world that makes that man's voice shake like that. Maybe that's the problem; they've definitely stepped outside the bounds of the world they know.
"I don't think I can fix this."
What happens when the world believes in you so much, that you start becoming something more?
What if it's something you never wanted to be?

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.
-🦇-
Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

Summary
It had never occurred to him, Moist reflected as he changed his suit, that the man would actually die. He was something permanent, a fixed point, never changing. Moist would have compared him to the sun or moon, but they moved about too much to work in his analogy. He’d often thought that he’d die before Vetinari, and sometimes, if he was being uncharitable, he’d thought that he’d die because of Vetinari. It seemed that was no longer a risk to be concerned about. He missed the feeling immensely. Send a prodding Dark Clerk to summon a man from his own home often enough, and he’d get nostalgic for it. Moist could almost feel a hand tapping at his back just remembering it.
He frowned. It didn’t feel like a memory.
“Mr. von Lipwig,” said a female voice, patiently, “please follow me to the palace.”

Summary
For six thousand years, Aziraphale did his best to exist within the strictures of Heavenly conduct. It wasn’t a perfect practice; his relationship with Crowley, just for example, was never exactly what one might call “officially sanctioned,” or even, “particularly wise,” but the important thing was that Aziraphale tried. He wasn’t a very good angel, but he did his best, more or less. Wasn’t that all anyone could really ask of him?
It doesn’t really feel fair, is the point, that in reward for saving the world, Aziraphale seems to be having something of an existential crisis.

Summary
“You’ve visited that kid every day for weeks,” Clark said. “Why?”
Batman stared at him. “How long have you known?”
“Batman…”
“You’re confronting me now because you’re worried about my intentions toward Dick. He changed your mind about something. Ergo, you’ve been sitting on this for a while. How long have you known I wasn’t real?”
