    Summary

    The teen looked up, dead serious. “This apartment is haunted.”

    Tim, who had not even taken his first sip of coffee, pinched the bridge of his nose. “And you got in here how?”

    The teen swallowed his bite and gestured vaguely. “I’m haunting this apartment.”

    Tim stared. Looked at the Oreos. Looked back at the teen. Then, without a word, he turned, poured himself a shot of espresso, and threw it back like it was hard liquor.

    Or,

    Tim just wants his roommate to pay for rent.

    Summary

    "Bandages? Got it. Gimme a second. Okay, uh—wait.” Danny paused, narrowing his eyes at Hood's unsteady hands reaching toward his helmet. “What are you doing? No. Stop that. Helmet stays on.”

    Red ignored him, fingers fumbling with the clasp.

    “Hnnn…”

    “I’m serious! I—hey! Quit it!” Danny swatted Red Hood's hands away, trying to keep the vigilante from unmasking himself. “Nothing good ever comes from a civilian learning a vigilante’s identity. I mean it—stop!”

    Red Hood groaned again, louder this time, as if Danny was the unreasonable one.

    “Sss…hot,” He mumbled, tugging weakly at the helmet.

    “I do not care!” Danny snapped, hands on his hips. “Helmet stays on! Will. You. Just— Nope! Nah uh, don’t you dare!”

    Or,

    Civilian Danny patching Red Hood up.

    Summary

    “Hey, listen. You don’t want to be here. I definitely don’t want to be here. Wanna stage a fight so we can both leave without anyone asking questions?”

    There was a beat of silence. The boy turned his head, slowly. “…You are my new favorite person,” he said, and then, without warning, punched Danny in the face.

    Or,

    Danny and Damien at a Wayne gala.

    Summary

    Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. In those days we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.

     

    When Danny first watched Fullmetal Alchemist, he'd laughed at the idea of equivalent exchange. Losing his leg hadn't gotten him anything. It only took from him--his ability to walk, his place in the league, his brother. Sure, his new life in Amity was fine, but it didn't take away the great losses he'd experienced. None of it felt equal.

    Years later, Danny finds himself in Gotham, prey to the people his mother had thrown him to. He's prepared to lose his life, but then Damian appears, and suddenly Danny understand the desperation Edward felt when he'd sacrificed his arm so readily for Alphonse.

     

    I don't think of equivalent exchange as a law of the world anymore. I think of it as a promise, between my brother and me, a promise that someday we'll see each other again.
