Summary
“Here,” Jason says, passing the tray over to Damian. “Go bring Dick this.”
Damian redirects his scowl, but the furrow in his brow looks more curious than angry now. “What is it?”
“Papanasi,” he answers. “It’s, uh. It’s something his family used to make.”
Damian accepts the tray, holding it as carefully as he would delicate electronics. “And this will…make him happy?”
He doesn’t laugh at him. “Nah, kid,” he says wearily. “He’s not going to be happy until he knows his family is safe. But it’ll help.”
The smaller boy clambers down from the stool, taking care not to drop the dessert as he does. He hesitates on his way out of the kitchen. “I…am looking forward to Drake’s safe return,” he says.
Jason snorts. “For Grayson’s sake, yeah, yeah.”
“Yes,” he says, shifting on his feet. “For Grayson’s sake.” Another beat, and finally he pads out of the room, very seriously balancing the tray that looks ridiculously large in his small arms.
***
The ransom call comes the following morning.

Summary
You know when you wake up in pure confusion, disorientation so intense that you have no idea where you are and who you are, and all you can do is blink and wait for your brain to finish ‘loading update 3 of 207, please do not restart your computer’?
Yeah, Tim is feeling a whole lot of that.
AKA
Tim wakes up with amnesia, doesn't know how to politely tell everyone he doesn't know them, and decides that he can detective his way out of saying anything.

Summary
Tim has rescued Bruce from floating around the past, but lost everything else that matters to him.
Now that he’s alone, teamless, no longer a Wayne, or Robin… what’s left for Tim?Jason looks murderous. “God DAMN it, Tim, this was not the situation I had in mind when I generously taught you how to be a younger brother out of the kindness of my heart!”
Even more shocked by this, Dick asks incredulously, “You, Jason Todd-Wayne, tried to give younger brother lessons? Where did you even get the audacity?”
Jason rounds on him hotly. “Bitch, you wish you knew how to be a younger brother!”
“FOCUS,” Tim demands. “We’ve got like, an hour to pull this off.”

Summary
Parenting is Bruce's thing, and Jason isn't planning on messing with that. But when Bruce fails to spot the countless red flags about Tim's home life, it falls to Jason to step up. Of course it does. Because he's literally the only one in his family who knows how to be responsible, and if Dick disagrees, he can suck it.

“I have time.”
Tim does not, in fact, have time.
But it’s Nightwing who is calling. What’s he going to do—say no? Preposterous. That's a crime in and of itself. Tim would rather swallow nails and kiss his mother goodnight than say no to Dick Grayson. “How can I help you, Nightwing?”

Summary
“Listen, Jason,” Tim says frankly down the line, and Jason tenses at the use of his real name. That doesn’t happen. Not casually, at least. “I’m pretty sure I’m going to die, so I need you to stay on the line with me.”
Jason short-circuits for a beat, and then runs the words back. “What?”
Tim takes a deep breath, and it’s steady. “I’m going to die,” he repeats, “and I don’t want to be alone, so please stay on the line.”

Summary
“Replacement.”
Tim freezes, gaze still locked on Jack’s prone, silent form sprawled out on the floor, and pulls the phone back to look at the number.
It’s kind of funny, he thinks hazily. Of course he would accidentally kill his dad and then mistakenly call Jason, of all people.

Do you ever think of me and my two hands? by Poiby

Summary
Yuuji slept, uncaring of his mother’s ministrations. His skin was so delicate, his closed eyelids decorated with blue veins, cheeks round and nose bridge almost nonexistent. The fuzz of his hair was pale, likely to become pink eventually to match his father. Or his uncle.
Some remnant of their vessel, like the last spasms of a dying insect, wished desperately to hold the child in her arms. Kaori had so deeply wanted children, a family.

Summary
Metal vocalist and guitarist, Sukuna, is outrageously hot, extremely talented, insanely cool, and incredibly famous because of it—but no one is more obsessed with him than his little brother, Yuuji.
Yuuji wants nothing more than his older brother in absolutely every way, but if he can’t have him, he’ll happily take advantage of Sukuna’s fandom and the insane fanfiction that comes with it.

Summary
One would think the brat was unconscious. Or that he was trapped in a trance or a deep sleep that one couldn’t possibly shake him out of. None of those were true, as one glance in his eyes would reveal the faintest of flickers. A flinch. While he may not be able to do much else, the brat was certainly aware of the world around him. That meant he could feel Sukuna’s hand grasping hold of his chin, jerking him up upward, ensuring that he take in the sight Sukuna presented him with.
“Take a look, brat.” Without the ability to fight back or demonstrate an uncharacteristic willingness to obey his orders, Sukuna took it upon himself to slowly turn the boy’s head. Sukuna needed him to see what his actions had brought. He craved it. “You failed.”

Summary
Growing up, Sukuna feels nothing for his family, for anyone really - a facsimile of something that could pass as moderate affection is the most he can conjure for his twin brother, Jin, but nobody else.
This misanthropic emptiness drives his ennui, leads him through a bloody thicket of expertly butchered limbs and leaves lavishly served flesh in its wake - all in pursuit of something he isn't sure could serve him.
As Jin passes his newborn child into Sukuna's indifferent arms, however, a violent emotion takes root in his chest.
"Hey, Yuuji," Jin says, his eyes glowing and cheeks flushed proudly. "Say hello to your uncle Sukuna!"
Or, Sukuna believes Yuuji is the missing piece to his soul.

Summary
Kuroro wants to take him, breathe him in. He wants to burrow under his skin and live at his lips, tucked away behind his teeth. He wants and wants and needs.
Fuck. The damned nen-exorcist may have had a point.
Kurapika’s eyes flicker towards him, then, and the dull burning in Kuroro’s gut flares. The crease between Kurapika’s eyebrows deepens, but that’s the only sign that he recognizes Kuroro at all before he turns away from him completely.
“Be still, my heart,” Kuroro murmurs sourly to himself and yet he cannot look away.
(In which Kuroro must endure the side-effects of his nen exorcism. Alternatively, Kuroro is forced to have feelings and absolutely cannot handle it.)

Summary
“For fuck’s sake, angel.” He sounded almost baffled, with a distinct edge of mania and a firmer one of annoyance, and the satisfaction of driving Chrollo to that point hit Kurapika harder than a drug trip, means be damned. “What, do you keep a knife up your cunt, too?”
Kurapika simpered, “Why don’t you find out?”
“Don’t you fucking dare,” Machi said, with feeling.
“Wouldn’t that hurt?” Shizuku was half-twisted again, looking back on the sprawl of bodies in the backseat, sounding concerned.
“Not if you do it right,” Kurapika answered distractedly, uncaring of the fact he was engaging a Spider in polite conversation. More important things.
or, Chrollo and Kurapika fuck in the backseat of a moving vehicle, much to Machi's consternation.

In which Yamamoto wanders through life smiling, joking, and terrifying bystanders.
It strikes him as weird that he’s had to struggle not to kill people, that it’s been such a challenge. He’s pretty sure that for most people, not being a murderer is way easier than being one.
