Five vignettes of Jon's life, captured at 1:17am.
A torchlight project, a shift of the tides, a new beginning, a phone call, something trembling on a knife-edge.

Summary
“Boots, Costa, Greggs, Leon, Waitrose, M&S, Caffe Nero, Pret, Prezzo, Starbucks, UpperCrust, Wasabi, WHSmith. Also something called Giraffe Stop? I don’t know what that is, but it says “Eat in or Take Out” on the logo so my superior deductive skills tell me that’s an option too. O-or, we could just hope that there’s a buffet service on the train? I’m… I’m not being told either way, ha – and even if I was, I don’t think even the Eye knows for sure whether the announcements are true or not –”
“Stop,” says Martin, in a voice that puts Jon in mind of hearing the television play from the next room.
'I don’t think I can,' he thinks, rather desperately. 'I’m not very good at this bit.'
***
Jon and Martin take the 18:29 Avanti West Coast Service to Glasgow Central.

Summary
Somewhere Else, there is a revelation, and a conversation, and a realisation that has been a long time coming.
***
“God, of course it was burns, of course you got burned, it was an explosion for Christ’s sake, god how could I be so stupid –” he shoves his face into his hands, and groans loudly. Then he rips them away, as his eyes flash with further realisation. “That’s why you cover up all the time?”
“Of course.”
“Why didn’t you say? You didn’t mention it at all in those awkward ‘boundaries’ conversations early on. You just said, ‘obviously me being undressed is a no’ or something and moved on, I thought it was an ace thing!”
“Well I thought it was obvious!”
“It was not obvious, Jon.”

Summary
No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.
Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

Summary
“Just got the word from the officials, Metros are shutting Miitka down for the night," LeClaire says almost dispassionately. “Third period we’re up against,” LeClaire consults his clipboard, “Shane Hollander. Drafted 2009, current starter for the Laval Maples, posts a .905 save percentage.”
Ilya stays where he is, rolling the name around in his head once, without much interest.
Hollander.
Doesn’t ring a bell.
Inspired by that one twitter post, what if Shane was a goalie?

Summary
again and he silently begged for any sea god to please let him out of the dizzying, pitch-black hell. His body ached from getting beaten into the box’s side. The water was stale and disgusting in his gills. There wasn’t any light and he couldn’t see anything.
He was so full of fear he was beginning to get numb to it.
He didn’t know what these humans wanted with him, but he knew it couldn’t be good if they started by shoving him into this too-small box and tossing him around like a boat on an angry sea.

Summary
This one, he expects, was going to be no different to that last one. Or the one before that. Every new guardian came with old behaviors. Indifferent at best, negligent at worst, but that doesn’t matter much to Pony, anyway. He’s fourteen now, has been for a month, so he doesn’t need coddling. He can handle just fine on his own, that was for sure. And he surely doesn’t need some social worker sticking their nose in his business whenever he gets roughed up a little.

Summary
Xenia (Greek: ξενία [kse'ni. a])
Derived from the word xenos, meaning “stranger”, or even “friend”.Xenia follows a long-standing tradition of housing strangers as honoured guests, where both host and guest have expectations and responsibilities to fulfill.
Guests treat their host with dignity, posing no threat, and likewise receive respect in return. Hosts freely offer food, shelter and warmth, and are repaid in kind by the guests with news and stories of their journey and the outside world.
When the time comes, guests continue on their way, often with a parting gift.-----
There are rumours— nothing more than whispers— of a shadow running around the streets of Gotham. Some say the Batman is back, but the Knights aren’t so sure.
If they're fighting for the same things, Barbara wants them as an ally, that much is clear.
The hard part is convincing them of that.-----
Or; Cassandra Cain joins the Gotham Knights.

Summary
Finally, Zoey blurted it out, voice soft but sharp:
“Have you ever thought of… something besides monogamy?”
Mira’s thumb stilled on the screen. She looked up, slow. “…What?”
Zoey’s hands twisted in her lap. “Like—not open relationships. Just… not just one person. Have you ever thought about being with more than one person and it still being okay?”
She wasn’t looking at Mira. Her voice was tight, like it hurt to speak. Mira watched her with a furrowed brow, still quiet.
“I feel so guilty all the time. Because I love you, Mira. I love you, and this doesn’t change that, but I see her and I want to make her smile and I want her to hold my hand and I think she’s beautiful and weird and sweet and I—”
She finally looked up, tears shining in her eyes.
“I think I ruined us. And I’m so sorry.”
Mira just stared at her. Wide-eyed. Silent.
Zoey’s heart dropped. “Say something.”
Mira exhaled like she’d been holding her breath for a month.
Then she visibly deflated—shoulders dropping, head tilting back against the wall—and let out a quiet, choked laugh.
“…Oh thank god.”
