Summary
When he’s thirteen, and there’s other kid heroes popping up, and the Justice League is starting to reckon with whether they’re okay with any kid being a hero at all, Clark talks to him. That’s how Dick realises.
They go to a diner. They always go to a diner, when Clark wants to talk. Clark feels safe being emotionally vulnerable in diners for reasons Dick can’t piece together yet.
"It was your idea," Clark asks, once the waitress has brought their food, enough other people already eating to create a comfortable background hum of noise, "Wasn’t it? Being Robin?"

Summary
Lambert’s at the market, his second summer of Witchering, haggling out a decent price for drowner tongues with the local herbalist, when he hears it. He always hears it; the only training they could get to stick was to keep him from flinching. There’s instincts you never lose, when you learn them that young.
The man is on the other side of the market, at a tanner’s stall. The kid is stood just beside him, and the man didn’t shout, didn’t raise his voice at all, but even quiet it still cracked like a whip and the kid’s not nearly as good as Lambert at hiding their flinch.

Summary
The start of a new season is always busy. There’s mining to do, and farms to build, and enchantment set-ups to construct, and no one knows where any of the rarer resources are yet. You have to decide where you’re basing, what that base will look like, if you’re setting up a shop as soon as possible or not. There’s a lot.
So Etho isn’t avoiding Joel.
Yeah, okay, maybe it’s been weeks now and it hasn’t even seen Joel yet. That’s a completely normal thing to have happened, it hasn’t seen several people, Bdubs can quit it with the pointed comments already. Joel knows where it is and he hasn’t come over either.
how not to go about reconnecting with your sorta-ex now he's moved into your server: a guide by etho, with thanks to xb for the off-screen but vital cameo

Summary
they fuck you up, your mum and dad. / they may not mean to, but they do. / they fill you with the faults they had / and add some extra, just for you. // but they were fucked up in their turn / by fools in old-style hats and coats, / who half the time were soppy-stern / and half at one another’s throats. // man hands on misery to man. / it deepens like a coastal shelf. / get out as early as you can, / and don’t have any kids yourself.

Summary
The Duchess Approves is terrible. He wants to bleach every brick of his body just to purify himself of this three hour experience. He wants to pluck out his eyeball and treat it to a ten-day spa as reparations. He demands a sequel from the Axolotl during their next therapy session.
The Axolotl tilts their head. “There's no sequel. Only one movie has ever been made.”
Bill glowers. “But what happens after?”
“Production went into debt after casting big name Grampton St. Rumpterfrabble,” the Axolotl answers sadly. “Rumor has it he charges fifty thousand per letter.”
“Wonderful,” Bill drawls. “Real useful information. So what am I supposed to do now, doc?”
The Axolotl’s eyes gleam suspiciously. “I suppose there’s always fanfiction.”
Or: Bill hates a certain fanfic author almost as much as he hates the man who killed him. Crazy, wouldn't it be, if the two were the same person.
