Summary
Contrary to anyone who he’s told the story to (just Stan and Bev so far, really), Richie didn’t actually feel anything for Eddie once he saw him again at the Jade of the Orient. There weren’t alarms sounding off in his head, no butterflies raging in his stomach, no feeling of free-falling into a cliff he didn’t plan to jump over. Instead, Richie stayed behind the railing, looking over the depth of the feelings he was acutely aware his teenage self felt over his best friend, and almost didn’t feel anything at all.
Everything was going well, terrifying eldritch monster and hospital visits aside, until four months after Derry 2.0 when Richie watched as Eddie checked the clothes tag of a shirt while they were shopping at a thrift store, felt the familiar tug of weight in his chest like an old friend unwelcome, and thought, oh. There it is.
So he does what he’s never done before: he makes a list.

Tooru’s heart has always been a river that carried him to the sea, dark stream blue heading off into grand ocean colors, but Iwaizumi, as he learns, is a piece of home wherever he goes.

Summary
Whether or not having all the time in the world is a grace bestowed or a curse invoked is one of man’s greatest arguments — a simple yes or no would usually suffice. But when you’re an angel and a demon, created as the sun first rose on Earth’s daybreak, the answer gets a little complicated.
[alternatively: This is the story of Gon and Killua, and how they take six thousand years to finally get it right.]

As Killua travels the world with his sister, the next year and a half become an exercise of learning about wildfires and the words that trail after, moving ahead without forgetting what he left behind, and finally stepping out into the sun.

Summary
He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”
Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
Damian huffs, sounding slightly annoyed again, but Jason's starting to think that it might just be his default tone of voice, "Yes, Todd. I have been going for about two months now. Thomas and I decided it was essential to our livelihoods."
There's a lot to unpack in that confession. Mostly though, Jason is rather horrified at all the emotions he's suddenly feeling and receiving. The last conversation he can remember having with Damian had been a few months ago where Red Hood had chucked the kid to the side before he could get shot, to which Robin told him never manhandle me like that again you neanderthal.
So this was a lot to take in at seven in the morning.
(Jason becomes a big brother and rebuilds some bridges, all in good time.)

Summary
"How old are you anyway?"
Bruce smirks a little, “Pretty old.”
“How old am I?” Dick rephrases the question. Realistically, given the lines on Bruce's face and the grey in his hair, he has to be more than a decade or two in the future. But, well, Dick's still reeling from being twelve. He can't begin to imagine a world where there's anything past tomorrow.
Bruce's smirk sinks a little, but not quite to a frown. It's a distant smile, fighting through the shadows of whatever it is Bruce sees when he looks down at him. In a quiet, mournful tone, he says, “Not that old. Not old at all.”
(A young Robin and Nightwing swap places; Batman is always the constant.)
