    Summary

    "I've never heard you beg, Doe," Riko muses.

    “And you won't," Three cuts in. "Why should he? You've missed scoring plenty more goals than he's missed saving."

    Andrew misses a goal. The reason — and the consequences — are one and the same. If only Neil could work that out.

    Summary

    Andrew stares blankly down at Neil’s bare fourth finger. Then he looks up at Neil’s scarred face, his deep blue eyes that stand out even against the summer horizon of this godforsaken city, and he wonders yet again if he knows about the ring tucked away in the bottom drawer of the double vanity.

    One more surprise, Abram. I think I want to marry you.

    Andrew buys a ring. It takes a while before he makes any use of it.

    Summary

    “Want any?” Andrew asks, but he’s not holding out the joint anymore. The next inhale that Andrew takes, he holds for only a few seconds before releasing, the smoke brushing past Neil’s cheek. Neil blinks at the sudden onslaught and he catches on to what Andrew is offering.

    Summary

    The smile splitting Neil’s face in two is a soft thing, gentle and wonderful and the most genuine the expression has ever felt settled into his mouth. “I think you like putting up with me”

    Shut up

    “Make me,” Neil tells him.

    “Marry me,” Andrew replies.

    Aaron flicked his fingers dismissively. “No, Andrew’s an artiste,” he said. “He creates art for the sake of art.” He lifted his eyebrows and looked to Andrew. “No?”

    “Of course,” Andrew drawled. “It’s about the process. ‘I saw the angel in the marble and I carved until I set him free.’ Macklemore said that.”

    Summary

    Neil Josten has never been too sure how to be a good boyfriend. He's always tried his best, but he's not sure if that's enough. Wanting to be better, Neil starts to watch and observe other couples, hoping to implement what he sees into his relationship with Andrew.

    Summary

    "He cannot, will not, give this man the dignity of his screams. Will not give the men who bled for his father anymore of his pain. He needs to show them that this is not a viable option. They can not come into his home, threaten all that matters to him, and expect him to be subdued into submission.

    Stab me again, he thinks viciously, so I can show you how little you can hurt me."

    Or, Neil gives into the rage.

    Summary

    When he was a child, powers never seemed like magic to Neil. He could see them on the television, read about them in books, at best see people using them from a distance, like the telekinetic woman at the park. But any closer and there’d be no powers.

    Summary

    Objectively, losing the Bucharest safehouse and its contents was the least of Bucky’s problems. The balding agent he’d seen directing the raid was apparently affiliated with SHIELD, which was a shadowy government agency that made representatives from other shadowy government agencies suddenly remember urgent appointments when Bucky tried to bribe, threaten, and otherwise shake them down for information on what the hell SHIELD might want with a former brainwashed assassin. Dodging SHIELD should be his number one priority.

    Subjectively, he wanted his fucking cat back.

    Summary

    She could be so small, he marveled. She was a cat, sleek and windy. A mouse, whiskers perfect and round ears quivering. A moth, fragile and dusty. A caterpillar, wriggly and colorful. She almost disappears.

    “Alex,” his mother chided, her voice low and hand tight around his upper arm, but if she wasn't looking at him it would've taken him a moment to know who she meant. She was scared, she’s terrified, her pupils are dots, even though they were just in the second last row of a near-empty greyhound bus. “Stop playing. Are you listening to me?”

    In his hand, Marie turned into a pill bug and curled up tight. He closed his hand around her, making her disappear.

    Summary

    "A dragon," the hunter whispers, voice low and shocked.

    The reaction is almost enough to make Andrew stop and stare in disbelief, because how the fuck is that a shock? This hunter, this boy, should have known exactly what he shot down out of the sky.

    The first time Andrew and Neil meet, they both survive the encounter. It's a surprise, but far from the only one Neil brings into his life.

    Andrew has carved out a little piece of garden paradise for himself in the back yard of his shitty flat. And it’s been only for himself… until his (gorgeous) new (extremely attractive) upstairs neighbor shows up with a dog, asking if it can do its business in the garden.

    Andrew says yes (because of course he does).

    Summary

    "Guys like us." Batman repeats the phrase as if it's the first time he's heard it, and Clark swears that he almost quirks a smile. Then the moment passes, and he closes off again. "Thanks, but I work alone."

    Clark holds up his hands and rises back into the air. "Fair enough. If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me."

    That should be the end of it, and it's fully what Clark intends. But some less-than-stellar impulse (he does occasionally have those, contrary to popular consensus) prompts him to take a brief peek through Batman's mask, if only for simple curiosity's sake.

    He nearly drops out of the sky.

    -OR-

    Within a day of their first meeting, Batman and Superman discover each other's greatest secrets. It makes for a pretty effective ice-breaker.

    Summary

    Clark Kent is handsome in that unassuming, boy-next-door kind of way. Clean-cut and wholesome. Almost impossibly sincere. His skin carries the sun in it. And that golden warmth is hard to come by in Gotham, where the skies are always gray, where safety often means staying inside, and where crooked electric companies syphon energy away from those that need it the most.

    He is polite to a fault. Kind-hearted without calculation. Sweet in a way that’s entirely, almost disarmingly, genuine.

    He wouldn’t last a day in Gotham.

     

    Or,
    Bruce Wayne meets Clark Kent.

    Summary

    The segment’s title declared EXY’S DARLINGS - WHERE WILL THEY GO FROM HERE? in a yellow banner along the television screen's bottom. It was a spotlight feature on where Kevin Day and Riko Moriyama were planning to go after their high school graduation. Of course they were expected to join the best, but a few reporters speculated on favoritism from the Raven’s coach if they signed on at Edgar Allan, and if that’d impact the Exy prodigies’ relationships with their potential teammates.

    Usually his mother would box his ears for looking at anything Exy-related, but he changed the channel long before her shower finished, the black ink on a younger Day’s cheekbone haunting him worse than the date in the corner.

    ( Neil wakes up seven years younger, and, slowly, takes matters into his own hands. )
