Summary
The hoard of gold is cursed. Bilbo looks at Thorin and suspects the Arkenstone is, too.
This beautiful, thrice-blasted stone weighs heavily in his hands and he would like nothing better than to give it to another’s. Whose hands, he thinks bitterly, could hold the Arkenstone without breaking under its thrall? No mortal being, and that is certainly the truth.

Summary
"Licking his dry lips, Bilbo gathered up his quailing courage and stretched a hand out to the air directly above the mushrooms. It stopped precisely at the boundary, and he let out a resigned breath. This is a bad day to be a Hobbit, he moaned to himself, before sucking in a breath and nodding to himself,
But better Hobbit than Dwarf, today."

Summary
He remembers. He remembers waking up this fateful morning, the way the sun had slanted through the window and struck the cut glass mirror, throwing scattered glory across the stone ceiling in fractals of rainbow color. He remembers thinking what a good omen it must be, to have gemstones transposed above his bed, for his eyes alone.
Today, Thorin stares at the light dancing above him and is paralyzed by mounting horror. He knows that he is not in the halls of his ancestors because he feels no sense of peace.

Summary
The first time Jason sees Xichen Lan, he stumbles out of the teahouse without having succumbed to the urge to break his bones and spill his blood and show the world that depression and suicidality aren’t beautiful or elegant or nice.
Or:
Asking Jason Shitshow Todd to keep an eye on your quietly tragic alien was only ever going to result in pain. This time, hopefully, it will be the good kind.

Summary
Blade’s hands twitch. The mark on Dan Heng’s bottom lip catches at the light, still wet and slow-seeping red. Sometime during his ministrations he’d caught it between his teeth and split it open again. Unthinking, Blade reaches out and up and runs the pad of his thumb across it.
Dan Heng stills. For a moment, he becomes an animal of prey, soft breath and shattered antlers and limbs locked for flight, in a way that no sword at his neck has ever made him.
Blade says, slowly, “You’re hurt.”

When he can't take it anymore, Dan Heng is there to come to his rescue, and so, Sunday decides to take this rare opportunity of peace and quiet to apologize to Dan Heng for the night before, and maybe, also share with his companion a few of his many doubts and fears that he can't quite shake...like whether this new power of his might make him just like the adopted father he left behind.

Summary
И дракон идет на зов этого имени. Как слепец, потерявший поводыря, но знающий наверняка, что дружеское плечо, на которое можно опереться, где-то здесь, где-то рядом. Запустишь руку в темноту, отринув всякое отчаяние и скорбь, и обязательно найдешь. Чьи-то теплые живые пальцы, способные коснуться огненных чешуек, отогреть холодную кровь, крепко ухватить за руку.

Summary
“You could’ve left me there, then."
Dan Heng gives him a look like he’s being a fool, his eyes narrowing. “I said I’d accompany you to the end. That – what you suggested – is not how I intend to keep that promise,” he says. His tail’s still gripping onto Blade’s leg. “Besides, leaving you there would’ve done absolutely nothing for our mission.”
Or: Blade is struck by mara during a joint mission with the Astral Express Crew. When he comes to, he's in Dan Heng's room with the man himself, although Dan Heng looks...different from what Blade's used to. Talking and feelings ensue.

Summary
Jason knows hypervigilance when he sees it. To the untrained eye it surely looks like the kid isn’t focusing on anything but the ground before him, but his attention is stretching out across the entire courtyard—Jason would bet on it. He can see it in the way his head cocks just the slightest bit toward every sound and every movement, the way his foot shifts almost too minutely to see any time someone moves too quickly, moving back into the beginning of what Jason knows will turn into a fighting pose if he finishes through with it. Some kind of guard, maybe? Even though he can’t be more than fucking twelve. Jason can’t imagine what a kid would be doing here.
More important than any of that, rank and relations aside…the boy’s eyes are a green bright enough that Jason can see the color from across the courtyard.
It's a very distinct green. Unnatural.
The only people he's ever seen with it are Ra's and himself.
And it isn’t genetic.
Heir or not, it means the boy must be very valuable to Ra's. He doesn't put just anyone in the Pit.

Summary
And as if to worsen the humiliated flush creeping up Phainon’s neck, the man laughed again, a howling, unrestrained sound. “Just who do you think I am, boy? You come, dressed like an Okheman, silver-tongued like an Okheman, pledging to kill me like an Okheman, and yet you claim you’re from…”
“Aedes Elysiae,” Phainon muttered, his heart frozen in his chest. All of a sudden, it made sense—the throne, the air of arrogance coating this man like a plague, the divine beauty—and the finally-settled adrenaline roared anew in his veins. When the torches flickered just right, the space around the man—around Mydeimos—seemed to shimmer. And if Phainon squinted his eyes in that specific moment, he swore the transparent visage of six wings greeted him.
Mydeimos hummed, his eyes shifting to the side and his crystal-tossing ceasing for but a moment. Then, they fixed back on Phainon, somehow crueler than before. “Where?”
Phainon, weighed down by the chains of his past, chases ghosts and the devilish Titan that created them. Unfortunately, fate never helps its heroes—but humanity does.

Summary
“An angel? You’re having nightmares about an angel?”
Kafka sounds a little confused. Ren couldn’t blame her. Her expression shifts back into bland, unassuming patience.
“Angels,” she muses. “A symbol of purity, innocence, goodness… Sometimes mercy. Sometimes even death itself. It’s not so surprising that you’d dream of one, A-Ren, but you seem to dislike the role that angel played. In your dream, it seemed to be…mm, a symbol of forgiveness. Do you detest the idea of being forgiven that much?”
(In which Ren tries to live a normal life, avoiding that certain being that keeps a close, unsettling watch. This might have something to do with what happened during his stay at the mental health facility.)

Tim shrugs. “I know his limits. Sometimes he just needs a little push in the right direction.”
“A push,” Damian echoes incredulously. “Jason Todd needs a push. The Red Hood. The same one who tried to kill you a couple years ago.”
“You’ve also tried to kill me, to be fair.”
“To be fair, it would not be wise for you to push me, either.”

After an injury benches Tim for a few months, he and Damian are forced to cohabitate until Tim recovers. Along the way Damian learns that there’s a lot he doesn’t understand about Tim Drake, starting with his total lack of self-preservation.

Summary
Tim was always holding his breath. Waiting. Filled with anticipation.
He'd spent most of his childhood that way, alone in Drake Manor hoping his parents would come home soon, crouched behind air conditioning units on top of buildings for the bats to fly by, sitting at a school desk watching the clock more sharply than paying attention to a teacher, clipping film to clothesline to dry and hoping he'd gotten a good shot. So Tim had made a game of it. He'd try to hold his breath for as long as he could while completing a task, just to see how far he could get.
It was easy for simple things, like doing dishes or math problems. It was much, much harder for others. But some things? Some things it made exquisite.
