    Summary

    Laurence and young Bertram had evidently been practicing fencing, if the two wooden rapiers lying in the grass were anything to go by, but at some point Laurence had gotten a hold on the boy and was now twirling the child in circles, flung over his shoulder like a sack of grain, as they both laughed bright as the sun. With their golden hair and elegant features, they could have been father and son, and Tharkay had a sudden, horrifying realization that he had miscalculated.

    Tharkay, upon discovering that Laurence loves children, realizes he might want some of his own someday. He proceeds to severely overreact to this revelation.

    Summary

    Clark rubbed the bridge of his nose, sighed, and considered whether this counted as a medical emergency, a spiritual awakening, or—most likely—a side effect of fighting off an alien beetle uprising in Thailand approximately sixteen hours ago.

    He decided a trip to the Fortress of Solitude was in order.

    Jor-El’s scans were, in typical Kryptonian fashion, helpful in that profoundly unhelpful way. Yes, there was a new mental link in Clark’s neural architecture. No, it wasn’t alien interference or telepathic mind-control or residual psychic bug-sting.

    It was familial.

    “Your offspring ,” the AI intoned with such mechanical certainty that Clark had to sit down immediately. Not out of physical fatigue, but because his body had made the executive decision that the only safe direction was down.

    The following existential crisis to such a revelation arrived precisely as scheduled.

    Summary

    In his sixth year, Kakashi receives a message and a gift. It's a meagre, trifling thing. It's also a miracle, a blessing, a privilege.

    It's a fucking burden, is what it is.

    Summary

    The problem with being a hero is that some psychotic bastard will come along and force you to choose between your life and your lover’s. Guy makes his choice.

    Summary

    The crux of the matter is that Kakashi’s old. By the time he finally gives up the hat, he’s nearly forty and growing older, and while he’s faced death too many times to still remember to fear it, he certainly thinks about it. He can’t help it. He blames the Nidaime — staring at Senju Tobirama’s reanimated face reminds Kakashi of everything that will die with him: his clan, their history, an entire generation. The realization leaves him unsettled, and as his body starts to ache more and more, he finds himself wishing for a world in which he isn’t so alone.

    Or, Kakashi returns to the Hatake compound in an attempt to speak with his ancestors and promptly forgets that the Hiraishin is, above all else, an experimental time/space jutsu. By activating it, he finds himself in a world not quite like his own.
