Summary
That glow is gone, now. Gone from Dick’s skin, gone from inside him. It used to shine out of him, out of all the cracks the world put in him. But now Bruce looks down at him, and he is as dark and cold as a snuffed star. That’s what gets to him the most—not how cold the morgue is under its colorless fluorescent lighting, or the cloying smell of formaldehyde that clogs his throat. It’s how still Dick is, on the cold, sterile surface of the examiner’s table. It’s unnatural. The boy never learned how to sit still.

On a dewy Sunday morning in April, Dick Grayson, trust fund baby and local celebrity, is found dead at the tender age of 25. His abrupt passing sends his hometown, the sleepy beach town of Gotham, into a tizzy--and his former guardian, old money stalwart Bruce Wayne, reeling. But as Bruce struggles to come to terms with his ward's death, it rapidly becomes clearer and clearer to him that there's something off with this tragedy--no, this "town"--no, this entire reality...

Summary
When Jason was Robin, he only saw Dick Grayson as the perfect asshole who put all the other sidekicks to shame, the golden boy who could do no wrong. And then he came back, and he was so broken that Dick, the Bat’s chosen heir, seemed mockingly whole in comparison. But now he’s an adult, with his own team and operations and purpose, and Dick isn’t the untouchable idol, too high for him to reach and too good for him to tarnish. Dick is a teenager getting drunk alone in a bar—which makes Jason the stable one.
Which is an unsettling a realization as Jason’s ever had.
---
When the Ric Grayson situation reaches critical mass, Tim sends Jason back in time to piece Dick's memories back together.

Summary
“What about this? Me?” His voice drops, low, but even now there’s the bite underneath, the bitter tinge of resentment that comes from already anticipating a rejection. It tips Slade off to the fact that Dick is in far worse shape than he assumed—the man he knows, the one he’s spent the better part of the past decade with in an equally infuriating and invigorating dance, would never be so desperate. Or so clumsy. “I’m asking you to. Is that a good enough reason?”

Summary
If Jonathan Storm was the movie star Betty said he was, he looked the part: Hair like spun gold in perfect curls atop slender features, with eyes bluer than the Hudson in midsummer. “Normally I’d ask what a dame like you is doing in a place like this, but”—Peter cast a glance up his guest—“you’re not exactly a dame, are you?”
Storm flashed a weak smile. “I can be, if you want.”
Peter raised an eyebrow. Storm turned beet-red.
“I mean. I’m. I didn’t mean that.” Storm huffed and shoved out a hand. “Johnny Storm.”
---
It's 1933, Peter Parker has just shut down a Nazi eugenist and lost one of his oldest friends, and life in the big city is as joyless and hardscrabble as ever. Then Johnny Storm, movie star with a soul made of sunshine, walks through Peter's door, asking for his help. The rest, as they say, is history.

Summary
In which Jason is the underground street dancer trying to make something of himself, Dick is the classically trained aerialist with a secret hip-hop alter ego, and perissologist is the fic writer who puts her blood, sweat, and tears into figuring out how to describe choreography in a way that sounds natural--a.k.a., the dance AU of your god damn dreams.

As James turns his back, Sherlock is reminded of the form of the Princess. Quickly realising that James may be the key to unlocking his blurred memories, James agrees to help Sherlock recall the events of last night. But all too soon Sherlock begins to notice that in place of Shou’an, a certain stubborn grin takes its place in his mind, and the touch that he craves doesn’t come from tender, soft hands, but rather the ink-stained ones of an all too familiar face.

Summary
The darkness had swallowed him whole the day his father had leapt off that cliff in Constantinople, and no matter how hard he fought it, its grip only grew tighter. He was frozen in time and space, left wondering if he’d been shown a glimpse of his own future. Silas Holmes had been right to see himself in his youngest son: he too had the capacity to become ruthless and unstoppable.
Or, Sherlock has barely had time to recover from the events in Constantinople when the devil rears his ugly head again and he's forced to reckon with a few uncomfortable truths.
