    Summary

    Barok doesn't owe anyone anything, so why does he feel so strangely responsible for the orphaned and mentorless children left behind in the wreckage when the dust settles? Against his better judgment, he chooses to stay and take responsibility instead of retiring to the countryside, and this single decision somehow alters the course of his life as it slowly draws everyone together.

    Summary

    Damian pulls out his phone and dials Richard’s number- his chauffeur has been unfortunately painstakingly instructed to answer no calls whatsoever from Damian, and Alfred has begun to pretend that phones do not exist during school hours. Unsurprisingly, as it is eight in the morning, it goes to voicemail. Damian waits impatiently for the beep. “Richard,” he says, in tones of the deeply suffering, “this place is a hostile environment. I must be collected post-haste, as after this latest indignity I am dropping out. Come at once, or I may die here.”

    The dynamic duo attend a parent-teacher conference. No one has a good day.

    Summary

    Four years on from his brutal escape, Dick Grayson has managed to carve out a simple, if a little lonely, life for himself – that is until he meets the imposing but kind hearted “successful businessman” Jason Todd.

    Four years on from the incident at the Court of Owls, Batman finally has a lead and wrangles Red Hood’s help to track down the last remaining Talon. It’s a case that Jason isn’t awfully concerned about until traces of the Talon keep popping up around his sweet but naïve new boyfriend Dick – a man he would do anything to protect.

    Summary

    “Idea parchment,” James said. He unfolded it and smoothed it out. “You want to get them together, right? That’s why you came to me?”

    “Yeah,” Lily huffed, which was ridiculous because he was right, that’s why she came to him. But it was supposed to be her idea, because she wanted to help her dear friend Remus, not James or Sirius. But it was so nice to be able to talk about this with someone, and James looked so pleased and excited.

    “Good,” James said. “Good, because they need to get together, they would be so happy and so good together, and Sirius will stop sighing like a lovesick puppy and just snog him instead.”

     
    In which Lily considers changing Houses, James blushes a lot, Sirius is his usual dramatic self, Remus mopes, and Peter knew everything all along.
