Summary
It's been three months since Bruce came back from the dead; three months since he came home. Replacement did not come home with him.
Replacement seems to've dropped off the face of the earth.
Jason, bein an Outlaw, doesn't get what the big deal is. He quite literally drops off the face of the earth all the time. He bets no one's ever this worried about him when he disappears without notice, even though the first time he went swannin off he fuckin died.
In other, unrelated news, Jason's bein haunted by the ghost of some ol lady's dead parrot. Like goddamn could life get any more ridiculous.
No, wait, don't answer that.
Knock on wood or some shit.
Fuck.

Summary
Luo Binghe the fishermen called him. He was dirty and small. He fought for every scrap he had. He ate his own fleas. His language was little and vulgar.
She says to him—Hello.
He snarls at her.
She says to him—My name is Yi Jiyu. (For it is, whether or not her creator knows it.)

Summary
The thing that everyone seems to remember is not how Janet splashed her champagne in Bruce Wayne's face. It's not how she stomped on his toes with her stiletto heel hard enough to break two of them. It's not how she hissed and spat venom before storming away.
It's how Bruce Wayne regarded her with utter solemnity and said, "One day, you are going to look into the eyes of your daughter, and you're going to see a stranger with a life and a Pack unknowable to you."
"Mom," Tatiana says, a punctuation. It rings real fucking hollow.
Selina is absolutely certain that, right now, Janie is looking into the eyes of a stranger; a woman she's never met before; an omega she didn't raise.
"Tatiana," Janie says, somewhere between uncertain and tart.
"Tim, actually," the puppy corrects her. "Timothy, kind of—but, really, just Tim."
[Or: frankencanon Tim possesses the body of an alternate dimension's Tim and proceeds to start waves while trying to make a home out of the cards she's been dealt]

Summary
Tim was, by the time Dick was capable of reuniting with him, intensely and exactly what Bruce needed. He fit so neatly into place that Dick struggled with an asshole's urge to be jealous—but Tim really melted himself down for the dubious pleasure, didn't he? He became slag for Bruce's benefit and he did it every single time he put on that suit.
Tim Drake melted down into Robin.
Robin had it much harder, cooling back into Tim Drake.
So Tim struggled, and he suffered, and that was what his love looked like.
Sometimes Babs would do something, or Bruce or Alfred would, sometimes Blüdhaven would, and Dick would register an invisible hand behind it. Tim's hand.
Quiet like the sun.
Get too close, stare too long... That kind of warmth can strip you red-raw, crack you open and make you sizzle. Can fall across your eyelids like confetti, carrying a sting that lasts long after you've retreated under the shade.
Soundlessly, soundlessly.
Daylight.
A matter of time.

Summary
Dick's lucky, to look like his mother when he's Settled and his father when he's not.
If the being giving birth can Settle, then the child can, too, but whatever type the mother was has no bearing on their babe. Settling is a matter of souls. Moreover, it's a deep, inarticulable aspect of the beings capable of doing it, each individual amorphously knowing that the animal they become is what they are.
It's rarer than you'd think to find two generations of the same type in one family, though most believe being a legacy type makes you stronger.
Dick can't speak on that. All he knows is the bittersweetness of looking in the mirror in one form and seeing John Grayson. Then, in another form—if he is not so exacting a copy of Mary, he at least cuts very close.
People have been telling him he's lucky practically since he lost them.
Never Tim, though, whose mother had been a bear type, who looks a little bit like his great-grandmother if he looks like anybody.
[Or: the one where there's a cabin in volcano country, and the fact that Penguin's up to something is really low on Dick's list of priorities actually]

Summary
Dick Grayson hugs the way most people breathe: easy and natural, like it's a necessary part of living.
Tim's wrapped up in one now, his brother's arms all the way around his shoulders, tugging him in close.
He's never told Dick that the first hug he can remember is that day at the circus, from a stranger who would in time be family. He's never told Dick that the next hug he remembers after that is nine years later, caught up in those same strong arms. He thinks he'd rather die than admit it.
"You're not hurt?" Dick is saying. "Nothing cruel and unusual, right?"
"She only let me have one cup of coffee a day," says Tim, very dry, and Dick makes a strange sort of a sound, almost a laugh, and tightens his hold so much it sweeps Tim right off his feet.

Summary
“Eddie.” Steve says around a smile, and it tugs the strings of Eddie’s daydream balloon, sends it slowly floating back to Earth.
“Hm?” He responds, distracted.
Steve opens his eyes, squinting in the late afternoon sun.
“No, ‘Eddie.’ That’s what you’re writing.”
And -
Yeah, it is. Eddie looks down at his finger, the one that’s been operating on autopilot while he’s been lost in his thoughts, and watches as it finishes rounding out the curve of the final e.
Shit.
or - Eddie can't stop touching Steve. Steve doesn't seem to mind.

Summary
Kon laughs, but it sounds like a sob. “Can you believe it? He programmed me to make me—make me his—”
“Stop!” Tim’s voice cuts in, loud. The Red Robin voice. Kon knows it well, and he responds to it even better. He loves when Tim sounds like that, most of the time. He likes to make jokes about Tim using it on him in bed, but not like this.
“‘M sorry,” Kon sobs. This is mortifying. This is a mistake. He thought he’d moved past this, thought he could handle how humiliating it is to admit that he is— “I’m a sex doll,” he cries, swiping at the tears on his face.
—
Lex’s intentions for Kon had extended far beyond his use as a weapon.
