Summary
Anakin Falls on the battlefield, on a small dusty planet in the Mid Rim that’s largely unimportant in the grand scale of the war. His men are dying in scores around him, screaming, spilling their guts onto the pockmarked ground, and something that has been pulling tighter and tighter over the course of the war, over the course of his whole life—between one decapitated droid and the next, something snaps in his chest. He doesn't know it, but he's more than a year early.
Or: Anakin navigates the path from straight up not noticing, to denial, to buying a pair of ugly sunglasses to hide his unfortunate Darksider eye condition, to a number of Sith lords dying in uniquely creative ways. If he reaches acceptance, it just might save the galaxy.

Summary
Six months into his Titans tenure, Cyborg's first solo hostage situation gets complicated.
"...the teenager laying on the beige-tiled floor to the right finally glances back over his outstretched arm, dark glasses sliding slightly down their nose as blue eyes widen over the rims. Cyborg's own mismatched eyes widen in response because oh-shit-wait-that's-Robin."

Summary
Tucker is psychic and doesn't want to be, Sam is an occultist who doesn't believe in the occult, and the new kid is maybe-possibly-probably dead. And as if that weren't enough, there's a serial killer stalking Amity Park. Hold onto your berets, readers: this is going to be a weird one.

Summary
"Batman fights in two dimensions. In his twenties, maybe the long-distance ninja-style leaping tackles served him well, but soon he started accumulating too much scar tissue. Heavier armor equals less upward mobility (which is an ironic phrase to use about a billionaire). Nowadays he mostly fights forward and sideways. It’s clever and clinical, but it’s not inspired. Really the main word that comes to mind is “relentless.”
"Robin fights on all three axes, X, Y, and Z. Dick’s never been able to separate the idea of impossible acrobatics from imaginary numbers. The problem is that sometimes he goes up and up and sideways and forgets which way the ground is, and then Gravity catches him again like an old ornery maiden aunt, even though he was almost sure that this time, finally, he’d left her behind him."
Short piece comparing and contrasting Dick and Bruce based on advantages and drawbacks of their armor and battle tactics. I just thought it was interesting :)

Summary
Permanent Guardianship of a Minor, somewhat unlike adoption, is a legal condition that usually only lasts so long as the person being guarded is, in fact, a minor. Dick turns eighteen with the Titans, so Bruce's legal guardianship expires while they're on bad terms and opposite sides of the continent. On a totally unrelated note, minimum drinking age in the U.S. is unreasonably high and four out of five Titans don't recommend father figures.

Murder and Bonding (Or Bonding Through Murder?) by Praetor for TrueColours
Fandoms: Alex Rider - Anthony Horowitz
28 Jul 2021
Tags
Summary
Alex does not expect James. And he does not expect the trouble he brings. But maybe, just maybe, James brings more than just trouble.
SpyFest 2021 Fic Exchange! Story for True Colours
Prompt 1: Alex reconnects with James Sprintz from Point Blanc. Maybe they are both a few years older and James is still a tearaway rich kid and takes Alex for a wild night out on the town. It could be really fun if they end up accidentally foiling a villain's scheme in the course of the night, in the style of one of the Alex Rider spinoff short stories.

Summary
Paul Drevin had never had friends before. Let alone a cabal of rich (and slightly bored) teenagers with a history of trauma and a connection to Alex Rider. Are they able to save Alex from MI6 before it's too late?

Collaborative Cooperations by Zyzyax for SisyphusClimbs

Summary
The CIA doesn't have to do many collaborative operations with the home team. Which is probably good - the FBI has this thing called morality, which Joe has always thought is a bit overrated. But here they are asking, yet again, for some assistance. Joe thinks it's time to unleash his secret weapon: Alex Rider. If Alex can't manage to cause so much chaos that the FBI never wants to work with them again, Joe will start looking for flying pigs.
