Summary
“Has Robin always been this, uh…” There’s a pause that grows heavier the longer it lingers. “Stoic?”
Superboy sighs. “I dunno. Maybe? I only ever teamed up with him like, twice before the whole ‘Kidworld’ thing, but that was before Superman came back, so there’s a pretty big gap in between.”
“I could be wrong, but…” Bart sounds uncharacteristically hesitant, like each word is being slowly pulled out of him. “I think something might have happened to him. Something bad.”
(Five rooftop encounters between the third Robin and a Kryptonian, and one that happens deep underground.)

Summary
"Hurry," says Impa, ancient and anxious.
"Hurry," says the ghost of a woman you've mostly forgotten.
The Master Sword burns in your hands as you pull, knees trembling and sweat slick between your shoulder blades.
(People keep telling you who you are, the hero you're destined to be. Eventually, you're going to prove them wrong.)

Summary
The bond company sees the SecUnit’s sentience as a selling point, not an ethical quandary. Dr. Mensah believes that it is a person before she ever lays eyes on it. Meeting that person and folding them into their lives requires a lot of hard discussions and complicated preparations. Only some of this was covered in the rental documents.

Summary
Episode 224 of The Rise and Fall of Sanctuary Moon features a controversial B-plot and a metaphorically complicated group sex scene, so SecUnit is a little less distracted while Dr. Arada and Prof. Bharadwaj conduct their crater survey.
Later, Dr. Rhatti will call some of this planet’s fauna monsters, noting how one specimen quote “chewed SecUnit completely in half.”

Summary
Crowley drifts through the cottage, idly gathering stray cups and wine glasses with the intent to wash them only to abandon the task halfway through. Two months ago, the sight of their kitchen in such a state would make him want to scream. It makes him want to scream now, of course, but that’s hardly the kitchen’s fault, is it? Not when literally everything makes him want to bury his claws deep into his own face and scream until he can’t scream anymore.
(It's some number of days after they quit counting the days in quarantine. There's a flaming sword of thorns where Crowley's spine should be.)

Summary
Bernard and Tim buy groceries together now, and call each other on the way home from work, and get their mail sent to the same address. Their medicine cabinet holds little orange bottles with both their names and their skateboards live in the same closet, which also happens to hide the entrance to Red Robin's Nest. The number of things he can call 'theirs' has increased exponentially since they moved in together and Bernard has never been happier, but life tends to be a little less predictable than tripping over Tim's shoes in the hallway.
OR
Bernard and Tim hold on to each other through the highs and the lows, with a Sicktember twist!

Summary
It wasn’t the comfortable silences that happened when Bruce would be reading his paper while Tim sat near by on his computer, nor was it the easy silence that came when they were on stakeouts together, handing each other the binoculars.
No, this silence was heavy somehow, and it made Tim’s skin itch.
Bruce cleared his throat.
“How are you feeling, Lad?”
Tim thought about it, blinking slowly, trying to detect any form of pain or injury. His back was aching but only in the way that it did after panic attacks instead of from a fight. Distant memories hit him then, being in a bathroom, someone dragging him upright as he begged to be left alone, being checked over in the infirmary and then finally when Bruce had come in.
"I'm fine." Tim said.
