Summary
They’ve escaped the infected only to come face-to-face with an indefinite future on a remote island. The rules have changed—it is kill or be killed—but Bruce knows what he has to do. Keep Gordon and his kids alive and the Joker from hurting anyone. And if he loses his sanity along the way, it’s a small price to pay.
Little does Bruce know that the island isn’t all that it seems. The past he thought he’d left behind in another life, back in a shattered Gotham, has been ahead of him this entire time.

Summary
Clark and Bruce are finally honest with one another and share one night in each other’s arms, then a heat, with the promise of more. But then Bruce becomes deathly ill. Self-doubt is Clark’s worst enemy, and his newly acquired omega status Bruce’s. Believing he isn’t enough of an Alpha for Bruce to survive his biological alteration, Clark finds a way to time travel and bring someone the omega had once loved back from the dead. Upon his return, without the person he’d meant to bring back for the greater good but with other Gothamites from Bruce’s past instead, he finds his world changed—again.
Bruce appears to be improving, but Clark’s claiming mark on Bruce’s neck is covered by another’s.
Or is it?

Summary
It’s pitiful. The shock of pain would take anyone’s breath away. It seems as if exhaustion has trumped his discomfort.
After placing the man back on the cot, Kirk considers telling him he’s on his death bed, but the Haint—nicknamed for the contrast of dark his hair against his skin, the way he’s lingered between life and death—surprises him.
“Just...let me die,” the Haint croaks out, his eyes glazed and distant.
Kirk leans forward and smiles. Yes, the Haint suits him. “No.”
The commanding man’s eyes fill with a brittle strength. “Why?” he whispers.
It’s simple, but there is no time for him to explain. “I need you.”
The Haint licks his lips. “Don’t...care.”
“I don’t care, either.” He grins to show his teeth. “About what you think, that is.” -

Now strangers in the next chapter of their lives, the fearless outlaw, embittered doctor, and heartless deputy crossed paths on the dusty roads of the Terran age known as the Old West.

Summary
"Bones, why did you, really, bring me with you?" Jim asked. "I'm in the way, even here in Georgia." Bones was quiet as the porch swing rocked back and forth, the gentle rain also lulling Jim to sleep. As his eyes closed, he heard Bones' soft voice. "You're not in my way, or anyone else's, Jim. You're here so I can remind you, once and for all, that I just can't leave you behind."

Summary
At first, the gloriously feminine and fascinating object of Jim’s affections seemed to embody the perfect source of blame for their rocky marriage. Who could possibly compete with a beautiful siren? A vibrant TV personality? That sexy toss of glorious red hair? That inviting smile? Every action evocative of a confidence McCoy simply didn’t have?
It certainly wouldn’t be him. He didn’t know who he was anymore. When he looked in the mirror each morning—a stranger stared back.

Summary
Between the two men, there’s not much humanity left, and none to spare. Fate has seen to that. But when Jim shows Khan who he’d saved, this incredible tiny human being, Jim’s son, an equally incredible thing blooms in the prisoner’s eyes.
Hope.
Undeserved, most would say. Leonard agreed, for who, knowing the destruction Khan had inflicted upon the Federation, could argue with that?

Summary
By the time Clark figured it out, another two months had passed since he’d seen Bruce. Too long, with Dick’s health on the line.
He had to bring Bruce and the boys back to NYC, and there was only person who could take that step and get Bruce’s attention. One person who could reach deep into that tortured mind and convince him he needed to come home. One person who could get under Bruce’s skin and kindle that fire he knew was burning still. That person?
Wasn’t Clark.
It was a man who was as stubborn as his father. Bruce’s second son.
Jason.

Summary
Clark swallowed, heart catching in his throat as he reached him. Shoulders broad, his spirit quiet and humble, Bruce’s profile was truly Amish. He’d witnessed it before, this change, when he’d come to the house yesterday to try to persuade him to return to the English world, as Bruce called it. But now, Bruce’s face shadowed by his wide brimmed hat and the beard that still looked odd on a man he’d once called partner in the NYPD, he felt bereft. As if his coming had not mattered. As if his questioning had not made a difference. As if—he’d never been friends with this man in his former life.
