    Summary

    New York, 1946

    “At their smallest components, humans are indistinguishable from forest fires.” Logan Sul swirled his glass of scotch around idly, watching the ice clink together. “All it takes is the smallest spark to set them off.” He casually took a sip, amber eyes piercing each member of the assembled group.

    Virgil Avery, the paranoid security guard.

    Patton Parker, the far too-cheerful nightclub owner.

    Roman Torres, the high-strung star.

    Viper Salem, the obsessive widow.

    Dorian Arya, the mysterious ex-business partner.

    “Any singular person is more than capable of being a murderer.” He set his glass down on the side table, dabbing at his mouth with his handkerchief. He turned back to the group and smiled viciously, a hunter with his sights set on prey. “And one of you is.”

    Summary

    For sides who are supposed to be so good, the lights sure seem to lie a lot.

    Janus would know. He can taste them.

    But it's not any of his business what the lights do. He has no reason to get involved at all. Helping them could come at serious cost to himself, so why should he? It's not like he cares if any of them get hurt, anyway.

    (But maybe that's the biggest lie of them all.)

    Summary

    He is whatever puts Thomas first. But that changes so often that he doesn’t know what he is beyond that.

     

    He is Janus when he is alone, but only when he is not someone else.

     

     

     
    Janus has never minded the fact that his identity is fluid, ever-changing. He acts as whoever Thomas needs him to be in the moment, and if that means he doesn't know much about himself as an individual, well. It's never been a problem for him.

    Until he gives away his name, and then it very much is.

    Summary

    The last thing Damian expected to happen when he ran away from home was to spend a day crammed into a small space with Jason Todd. His father's second son was a black sheep. An outcast. An angry, insanity driven criminal who enjoyed screwing with the batfamily in every way he could. At least, that's what Damian thought. Maybe he was wrong about Todd.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Jason and Damian bonding through slowly dying under a collapsed building together, realising that they might not be so different after all (and that their father loves them both so very much)
