  1. Summary

    Those Winter Sundays
    by Robert Hayden

    Sundays too my father got up early
    and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
    then with cracked hands that ached
    from labor in the weekday weather made
    banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

    I'd wake and hear the cold splintering,breaking.
    When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
    and slowly I would rise and dress,
    fearing the chronic angers of that house,

    Speaking indifferently to him,
    who had driven out the cold
    and polished my good shoes as well.
    What did I know, what did I know
    of love's austere and lonely offices?

    --

    Mostly canon-compliant stories about Maverick & Bradley, and the ways love builds warm fires.

  2. Summary

    Sentimental Moment Or Why Did The Baguette Cross The Road?
    by Robert Herschon

    Don't fill up on bread
    I say absent-mindedly
    The servings here are huge

    My son, whose hair may be
    receding a bit, says
    Did you really just
    say that to me?

    What he doesn't know
    is that when we're walking
    together, when we get
    to the curb
    I sometimes start to reach
    for his hand

    -

    Maverick and Bradley, and stories where the the world can change. Unconnected AUs (unless otherwise stated), ordered chronologically according to the canon timeline.

    Summary

    The last real conversation he’d had with Maverick before this mission is playing in his head. He’d lied and told him no one would mourn him. Had thrown his father’s death in Maverick’s face and implied that it was his fault. That his father’s faith in Maverick had been what gotten him killed.

    And Maverick had still taken a missile to keep him alive. He’d gotten himself shot out of the sky, to save Bradley.

    After the mission there are more than a few conversations to be had.

    Summary

    “Sometimes in war, it's hard to be the one that survives.”

    Gotham isn’t a war. Jason isn’t a soldier. But the streets are still a battlefield, and a return doesn’t feel like much of a return at all.

    (or, Jason experiences a traumatic event, cries in his shitty shower, finds his way to Wayne Manor, and finds Bruce. maybe, if he's lucky, in that order)

    Summary

    Taking a bracing breath, Jason raised his hand to knock on the front door. And hesitated. Why was he here? Well, he knew why, it’d been churning for weeks in his brain like it was a damn ice cream machine. But why—ah, to hell with it. He knocked loudly.

    Shuffling bled through the door, a muffled “one moment!”, followed by more noise before Dick opened the door with a very polite, “Can I help you?” The chain was still latched and the acrobat was clutching a floor-length bathrobe around himself like he was a scandalized housewife.

    Jason threw up lackluster jazz hands. “Surprise!"

    ---

    Dick always said his siblings were welcome anytime. Jason decides to see if that's true.
