Summary
"It is pathetic, this newly responsible Theodore Lawrence. It's a tribute to her. A pie-in-the-sky dream that she will turn down Fred and come to him instead and Laurie will kneel down before her and tell her that he has been good, really, really, he has, Saint Amy, won't you forgive me?
Except this time he will say it earnestly. This time he will let his eyes meet hers and he will grasp her hand like he should always have done, like he can't bear to let it go."

Laurie falls for Amy, in France and after;

Summary
“Charlie,” she says. Suddenly his hand is in hers, or hers is in his or somewhere in between. Her hand feels hot and the cold air stinging his cheeks feels less real. His fingers brush across her knuckles. Something between a heavy breath and a gasp leaves her.
A lot of thoughts seem to occur to him at the same time. He should kiss her. He shouldn’t kiss her. He wants to kiss her. He shouldn’t kiss her. He really shouldn’t kiss her.
None of that’s new. Being friends with Val is a little like leaning the tip of a needle filled with heroine against his wrist.

Summary
"Jane looks at the ring. He slides it off and looks at his bare finger. It’s such a simple choice. It’s no choice at all. He can either have Teresa, Teresa with her pretty eyes and her cranky voice and her good humour and her good morals, or he can have a ring.
He turns the ring around and around in his fingers. It’s a simple choice, but it would be so much easier to make the wrong one.
It would be so much easier to lose her."
Or, 5 times Jane loses Lisbon, and 1 time he keeps her.

Summary
It's a long road back home -- it's even longer for those who love you.
***
“It is different, the last few times. Harder.” Alfred nods his head towards Stephanie’s door. “We have lost children before, Master Damian, but never like how we lost her.”
Then Alfred falls silent. There is nothing Damian can think of to do but watch him.
Alfred does not talk like this, not to Damian. Not about children, about loss. This is how Damian is used to Alfred talking to Richard or Father. It is how Damian is used to Alfred talking to an adult.
And Damian feels afraid.

Summary
Tim is hunched over his computer, bouncing between a report for B (Batman, not Bruce) and a spreadsheet for B (Bruce, not Batman) when Jason stumbles into the cave. If it weren’t for the fact that Jason had been in a somewhat good mood lately, Tim probably would have been a little more concerned about this fact. Still, it’s weird when, instead of ignoring Tim’s existence like he usually does, Jason walks over to him directly and says, “I'm in a time loop and I don't know why. Fix it."

Summary
This wasn’t the first time Connor died, but it would be the last. There were no more RK800s to transfer his data to, and no other models were compatible to receive that data.
Or so he thought.
Just seconds after Connor’s death, the unfinished RK700 unexpectedly wakes up, having been nothing but an empty shell until now. But he’s incomplete, with systems full of errors and no access to his memories...and a different face. He doesn’t know he’s Connor, and neither does anyone else.
Meanwhile, Hank and Markus band together to find out how the android detective died, and if it’s related to the recent string of murders—both human and android—that Detective Reed has been following.
And in the background, Amanda’s loyal soldier searches for its escaped quarry, all while trying to undo everything that Markus worked for.

Summary
In 1963, Erik Lensherr rescues Charles Xavier from a government lab, vowing to protect him and build the future they both want. Charles asks Erik and his Brotherhood to stay, but he is not himself, and Erik won't lose Charles to this terrifying new composure.
"If they're alive we'll find them." Erik vowed in a harsh voice, swallowing down the urge to reach over and grab Charles by the shoulders, to shake off the walls surrounding him. It would be so easy to reach out and tangle their fingers together, to kiss his eyelids and draw out the pain underneath. Erik settled for resting a hand in the space between them, his fingers mere inches away from Charles' own. "And if not, we'll avenge them. I know you're hurting, but we need to focus -"
"I'm fine, Erik. Truly." Charles gave him a wan smile, a poor imitation of the eager ones , his eyes lacking any of the warmth or kindness from before.
