Summary
Bucky’s been running for a week when the supposedly-untraceable burner phone he stole from a Hydra warehouse starts ringing. He’s in a gas station bathroom off a remote highway close to the Croatian border, getting ready to bleach his hair; the ringtone bounces shrilly off the bare tiles and makes his jaw clench tight.
[Or: the one where Bucky is hired to train Jason, and he ends up learning a thing or two himself.]

Summary
The asshole takes another swig, flashing Jason a look. “Everywhere’s a fuckin’ shithole, kid.”
“That doesn’t answer my question.”
There’s a pause. Then: “You’re out of bourbon,” and the sound of a bottle being set down with more force than is strictly necessary, on the fucker’s other side where Jason can’t reach it.
The Red Hood runs into the Punisher.
April never was a good month for gun-toting, anti-hero vigilante types.

Summary
"The winter that Dick Grayson is eleven years old, the other boy shows up for the first time. He’s small - can’t be more than ten years old - but there’s a curious intensity to him that makes him seem older, and that has Dick’s eyes flicking back and forth between his own textbook and where the boy seems to be burning a hole in his with a laser focus.
They’re at winter quarters in Florida, a borderless area in the middle of the state where traveling circuses and carnivals lay low during the cold and rainy months of October through March."
Dick Grayson and Clint Barton: two boys, raised in the circus, destined to be superheroes. Of course they cross paths.Series

Summary
No human is permitted to see the Animal Court. But Tim, a feral, too-small thing, with tangled hair and teeth that yet remember how to rend, who scrambles about on four legs as often as two because there is no one to lift him to his feet - Tim, who wandered into the nighttime woods and has no one to call him back to the light of human homes - why would the forest have any reason to think him a man-thing?

Summary
Bernard’s deskmate, dressed in a glittering black leotard and nothing else, rolled her eyes without lifting her eyeliner pen from her cheekbone. She must have sensed more than seen Bernard’s nervousness, because she leaned over, tilting her hand elegantly to hide her mouth.
“Don’t pay attention,” she says huskily. Unlike the others, she has already slipped from her man’s light tenor into her woman’s throaty, deep alto. “Dolly queens think they own the music. Do what you want, honey.”
“Maybe I should stick to ABBA,” Bernard says back. He doesn’t want to overstay his welcome on only his third night here. He has literally nowhere else to go.
The awakening Bernard experiences in the cult does not cause him to reach out to Tim. Instead, he gets really into drag. Somehow Tim gets involved anyway.

Summary
Tim gasps uselessly. He barely sees Batman ram into Killer Croc through the sparks in his vision. His hearing is ringing and his head pounds like a drum. He can still feel everything, even though he wishes he couldn’t, so his spine hasn’t broken. He is comparatively fine.
He lurches to his feet. The muscles in his back scream in protest, and his vision goes briefly dark. He sways, holding his breath, and his eyesight comes creeping back, so he’s basically combat ready.
He tracks the spinning, screaming whirlwind that is Killer Croc and Batman, and readies his staff.
Across the city, in his childhood bedroom, Bernard falls out of bed screaming.
A magician curses Tim to share physical pain with the next person he touches. The following morning, Bernard slaps him on the arm.

Summary
Kon whistles at his first glimpse into Tim’s living room, grinning with teeth when Tim reflexively rolls his eyes. “Sweet digs, dude,” he singsongs. “Love what you’ve done to the place.”
“I said,” Tim hisses, even as he slides the balcony door open to let Kon inside, “what are you doing here—”
Kon shrugs, peeling his jacket off. If I left it up to you, buddy, he doesn’t say, I’d see you once in a blue moon. “Couldn’t sleep. Gotta say, the empty Gatorade bottles really give this place personality.”
“Like you’re one to talk. I’ve seen your room,” Tim snipes back. “And I actually need the electrolytes. What’s your excuse?”
or;
on a whim, kon pays tim's gotham apartment a late night visit. and then he visits again.
and again, and again.

Summary
There’s not really a point in owning a car, especially with the cost of insurance. With the threat of student debt looming overhead like a cloud, Bernard can’t afford to buy a car without help, and there’s no way he’ll ever ask Tim.
So Bernard doesn’t really drive. He’s happy to let his weirdly specific driving skills get swept under the rug, because the thing he has with Tim still feels delicate and new, and he doesn’t want to ruin it by bringing up that his uncle was in a gang and hey, he just happened to teach Bernard how to drive. Bernard wants to avoid any kind of conversation around crime in Gotham, actually. Especially after what happened in high school.
It’s not like he’s ever going to need to drive a getaway car, anyway. As far as Bernard is concerned, it’ll never come up.
Bernard learned to drive from his henchman uncle. The last place he expects to use this skill is at a dinner with his boyfriend's family.

Bookmarker's Notes
“He came in, and it was over. I couldn’t say anything. He tore through everything. It was like a plague of locusts. Just.” Dick sweeps his arm across his chest. “Zwip! Everything. Gone.”
“Please don’t associate Tim with the Book of Exodus.”
“You didn’t warn me,” Dick says. “You left me to the dogs.”
“I did not leave you to the dogs, chum.”
“Chum,” Dick repeats. “Chum is all that’s left of me.”

In which people are shaped both by their circumstances and by their natures.
Featuring: Cassandra Grayson, Jason Gordon, Barbara Todd, Richard Drake, Damien Brown, Timothy Al Ghul, and Stephanie Cain.
Yes I did write this solely for the title.
--
Cassandra Grayson is young and brilliant. She moves with grace in her every action; she smiles brightly and freely and laughs at everyone’s jokes. She understands five languages – Romani, Cantonese, English, French, and BSL – but doesn’t speak much in any of them. Her parents communicate with her in a hodge-podge of all five and they listen to her expressions, her silences, as much as they do to her words. She loves them more than anything and they love her just the same. Robin, they call her, with love.
