Summary
It's when the music quietens down— not completely into silence, but enough that Ives could speak normally through the mic, that they make eye contact. Tim noticed, even through the lenses of Ives’ glasses, the shine in his eyes, how slightly out of breath he was, how his face scoured the entire venue, his smile subconscious and addictive.
His smile, something so brilliant, amazing and Tim hadn't known he wished to see it so much, faltered for just a moment when their gazes met and Tim felt a stab of uncertainty crawl through him when Ives’ face turned apologetic, reminders of just the first song punching through their arteries.
“I’m sorry,” he said, and Tim's ears rang with how honest he sounded, Ives’ voice echoing amongst the cheers, but still, his eyes did not leave Tim's. Almost as if giving him a hidden explanation that the rest of the world was not privy to, “Every single song is about you.”
Everything. Nothing.

Summary
There is extremely little, at this point in his life, that would surprise Jean Moreau.
Case in fucking point.
“We need a squirrel,” says Riko Moriyama, and Kevin Day has the decency to wince.
“Okay,” says Jean. There really is no other way to respond.
Or: A bizarre extra credit project has ripple effects on the structural integrity of a mafia-sponsored sports cult.

Summary
“That one is Cygnus, over there. A giant bird. There's a whole thing, a demi-god, a sun chariot."
The wind is picking up, blowing through the dream. Tim doesn’t move, doesn’t blink, doesn’t breathe.
"Heh," Connor says, looking at him, all soft, all smiles. "A bird. Just like you, Robin."
He closes his eyes.
No, Tim wants to say. Please. Just let me stay here.
But the wind picks up and of course, of course, he cannot.

Summary
“Hey, kid,” Helena grits out, voice faint, “Do you know how to use a first aid kit?”
Does he—of course he does. Tim opens his mouth to snipe back and remembers, right. She doesn't know. To Helena right now, as bruised and concussed as she is, he is just a random college student with a serious bedhead from his recent library nap, and a hostage.
