The Way Things Break by GrayJay

Summary
The photo is of a boy--maybe fourteen or fifteen--with dark hair and dark glasses. He’s slouched in front of an institutional backdrop, and it takes a moment for Hank to connect the living face to the autopsy pictures.
There’s something else familiar about the kid’s face, the shape of the mouth, and Hank is racking his brain, trying to figure out where he knows it from--a former student, maybe?--when Alex speaks up again, voice flat. “It’s my brother.”
Summers Brothers, lost and found.

Bookmarker's Notes
Below is a square, drawn on the floorboards in chalk--like children dividing a shared room, Charles thinks--a grotesque parody of the mind’s missing boundaries. The square is perhaps ten by ten, with no breaks in the lines, no doors: just layer after layer of chalk ground into the floorboards. As Charles draws closer, he can see writing inside, dense and uneven.
In the corner of the square, Scott is kneeling, hunched over, and Charles realizes after a moment that he’s scrawling something on the floor, moving gingerly to avoid smudging the text under his legs. jack is dead, Charles reads. i killed jack find out who “alex” is don’t open my eyes don’t let them take me back don’t let them take me back don’t let them-- If he registers Charles's approach, he makes no sign of it; Charles can't tell if he's unaware, or just indifferent.

Summary
Suddenly, it’s not two on the bed, but three, and Robby’s imagining Jack’s warm arms circled around his waist, pulling him closer, and Samira’s open mouth on his as she draws him into a bitter kiss, a kiss that tastes like alcohol and hesitance, like overgreasy pizza, like stale water and her favourite lemon candy, like the first time, the second time, the many times after that.
All the bad times that are only so bad because of how good they felt.
(Robby puts Samira on night shift, putting an end to their bad habit. When he notices a newfound proximity between Jack and Samira, he spirals.)

Summary
So this was how he was going to die: eighteen, on the floor, and blushing bright red. What with being a superhero, he kind of imagined his last moments to be more exciting. Hell, he kind of thought his whole life would have been more exciting. Sure, he’d saved the world a couple of times, but he hadn’t even been kissed yet.
Bobby saves a man from a Sentinel attack – okay, gets saved from a Sentinel attack – and finds himself in a friendship that could become something more. Unfortunately, self-doubt, the Professor, and supervillains seem more than determined to keep them apart.

Summary
“Batman was getting dangerously close to crossing a line that Tim had been so sure he would never cross.
“It became obvious to Tim that Batman needed a Robin. He was this close to tracking down Dick just to get him to take back the role. It would have exposed that Tim knew the truth, but it would have been worth it. And if Dick wouldn't do it, if it really came down to it? He’d throw on tights if he had to, drag Batman back to the light himself.
“Batman needed a Robin. And maybe that's why Tim was so relieved when Spoiler, a young vigilante clad in purple, showed up out of the blue and refused to leave Batman alone.”
Or,
Seventeen year old Tim Drake, CEO and stalker extraordinaire, has known the truth about the Bats ever since he was a kid. But he never put on the Robin suit.
Following a gala and breakout at Arkham, Tim reluctantly finds himself drawn into the Batfamily’s orbit. And although no secret stays buried forever, nobody could have predicted the disaster to come.
Or,
A Tim joins the batfamily late au!

Summary
"This can’t be a prank. How could anyone have found a child who looks and sounds like Apollo at this age, and taught them to speak Khura’inese in this dialect, with this accent? How could anyone have known Nahyuta would even walk this way through the courthouse, for this encounter to occur?
Nahyuta finally drops his hand to the top of Apollo’s head. 'It’s going to be alright,' he says, with no idea if that’s true."Still new to LA and barely treading water, Nahyuta is tasked with babysitting his brother one more time.

Summary
Fabian knows Riz likes having little mysteries to solve between the crazy world-ending ones, so if anything, sending him on a scavenger hunt every time he loses an airpod in his big empty house is doing Riz a favor, actually. He's not sure why Adaine keeps throwing him judgmental looks about it. That's enrichment! For free!
(In which the captain and the Ball are best friends, and there's nothing weird about it.)

Summary
Robby feels bad about the whole thing. The thing, as in, the repeated sex with the resident under your care kind of thing. Probable abuse of power and a headache for the HR department except they are unaware—yet—kind of thing.
So. He does feel bad. Just not bad enough to stop.

Summary
The sad thing about dead fathers is that they are forever enshrouded in a golden halo of light, suspended in immaculate perfection like some ancient mosquito long dead and trapped in amber.
The sad thing about alive ones, on the other hand, is that they live long enough to disappoint you.
(For five years of Samira’s life, Robby had been her mother’s husband. Not her father—never her father.)

“Hey, Kat!”
She froze in the middle of taking down a faded, old pillowcase from the laundry line.
“It’s Katarina,” she said quietly, heart starting to pound her chest, and smoothed the folds of the pillowcase with shaking hands.
“Sure, Kat,” came the breezy reply, which was about what she should have expected. These girls weren’t known for listening to anyone. Not to teachers, not to cops, and certainly not to some quiet, mousy newbie, whose main task was taking care of laundry.
