    Summary

    A storm forces the Fellowship into a shifty tavern where danger lurks behind drunken smiles and wandering hands. When Legolas becomes the focus of unwelcome attention, Aragorn intervenes - but his fierce protectiveness sparks a painful rift instead of comfort.

    As days pass in silence, it’s Frodo’s quiet guidance that rekindles their friendship. But it’s only after the heat of battle, with Gimli wounded and the threat of loss hanging heavy, that Aragorn and Legolas finally speak the truths they've both been avoiding.

    Summary

    As a child, Estel had listened with wide eyes as Elladan and Elrohir told him story after story of the foul elven beasts from Mirkwood, who haunted the sleep of many an Imladris elfling, with their wild eyes and rune-marked skin.

    But when he finds himself travelling to Mirkwood, and being drawn to the Prince of the realm, Strider must decide for himself how much of the old fables are true...

    Summary

    Bruce tensed. It was small, imperceptible enough that most wouldn’t pick it up. Dick saw it coming a mile away. “You’re supposed to be taking down a smuggling ring in Tricorner.”

    “Yeah, that’s exactly where you want me, isn’t it?” Jason's voice was calm, deceptively slow. Then it flipped on a dime, transforming into a cracking scream. “‘Cause if I was there, I wouldn’t have to see you put my brother in the fucking Pit!”

    Pit. The Pit. The Lazarus Pit, noxious and intoxicating and everything Dick had spent years trying to forget, even as Jason showed up on his doorstep, unprompted, near tears, needing someone, anyone, to listen to his butchered, incomplete descriptions on what it was like to live drowning.

    It melts you, he’d said once, wrapped in a blanket Dick didn’t remember owning. Brings you to your bare parts and builds you back up in a new form, again and again, until you forget that you ever used to be anything else. But it’s so cold, at the same time.

    Dick didn’t feel cold or hot or angry or insane. He – didn’t feel anything, despite the heaving cries that choked him even now.


    or, Dick dies. He gets better, but the Pit always has a cost.

    Summary

    Five times Dick Grayson stepped up in a situation that did not feel safe for his brothers, and the one time they noticed.

    OR: All Dick's siblings know he is a mother-hen, but these protective tendencies tend to escalate at galas or balls. They assume it's because they cannot fight without their costumes, but they are wrong.

    Summary

    “Bruce, you would report parents like those to the police. And by the time I was with the Titans, I would too. And still, Bruce, still, I took it when you hurt me because—because I don’t know. Because maybe, somewhere along the way, I started pretending you weren’t my father.”

    "Hurt you," Jason echoes, and now his voice isn't raspy because he's pretending to be Batman. Bruce hurt Dick. The first son, the favourite, the one most like him.

    Bruce hurt him?

    "Do you still not understand what you did? What you keep doing? ‘It is what it looks like.’ Funny how I only realised it after my death, after you beat me up and sent me away from my family.”

    Dick stands up, all stiff movements. The light from outside hits him directly, and Jason realises he’s in a nightmare.

    Jason was—he was dreaming. This—this man, hunched and shaking and bleeding—cannot be Dick. His brother’s face could never be dripping with blood from his father’s fists.

    “Look. You’ve made me a victim,” Dick tells him.

    OR

    Dick finally realises Batman is an abusive piece of shit, and so do his brothers. What follows is never that simple.
