    Summary

    A normal, human life.

    He never expected to have that, and found himself unprepared in dealing with it. Still, he's always been adaptable. He figured it out, bit by bit. At some point, he realized he needed to get rid of almost everything he owned, from before. Anything that reminded him too much of Hawks, and the life he once lived.

    His one concession: he kept the coffee maker.

    Dabi always liked that one.

    In the aftermath of the war, Hawks tries to learn to live with all his losses. One day, he meets someone new.

    “Tim wants to take me out for dinner at the fake restaurant you made up.” 

    Roy laughed so hard he just about fell over. “Oh, you are so fucked, man.”

    “Shut up.”

    Summary

    Dick pushes open the door and freezes to see Jason, body bruised and littered with still healing wounds, with his arms wrapped around Tim from behind, kissing his neck gently. Tim, who is sitting there, letting himself be kissed by the man who tried to kill them all just the night before, is completely unfazed by the fact that he should be bedridden and also that Jason tried to murder him less than 24 hours ago and also oh God they’re kissing now and that’d definitely tongue what is going on?!

    Tim and Jason were trapped in a time loop together for a year and are "suddenly" in a relationship the day after Jason went on his Batman murder spree.

    Summary

    Arthur was tipped back against the wall, his mouth open for breath and staring at the small arrow-slit window over Merlin's head, trying to work out how it could possibly be that good with Merlin, of all people.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I really love the ending:

    "I do have to point out, he was perfectly content before you insisted on my asking," Arthur said rather defensively. "I'm sure he wouldn't press me for it—"

    Except he would: ridiculous as it seemed, what this boy wanted was no less than a High King; and for love, Arthur would become one.

    "Very well," Uther said. "You had better keep him after all."
