Summary
He couldn’t hear anything from the other side of the door, but he didn’t doubt that Dick was there, that he was listening. He could feel it. “Kids called me. They’re worried ‘bout’cha. But you knew that. Just like I know that whatever yer workin’ on in there’s gotta be important. So, I’m not gonna try’n drag you out, but I’m gonna be here when you’re ready to talk. Sent everyone else out. It’s just you’n me, Dick. However long you need.”
That wasn’t necessarily true. They would all find their way back by dinner time at the latest. But it was true enough for the moment. Sorta like when someone promises forever but they only really have right now. Because sometimes forever means the same thing as right now and sometimes “however long you need” is the same as “however long I can give you”.
Seven times the Bats learn something New about Dick's time as Batman and one time they go to court about it.

Summary
Jason watched as Dick’s chest expanded, and he heaved a tired sigh. “I’m sorry, Jay. I thought I was getting better.”
The words, weary and resigned hung heavy between them. Jason chose instead to listen to the crickets and cicadas filling the silence with creaky songs and droning tones. And for a second–just a second–he forgot the constant ache of his muscles. He forgot Dick’s words and the damage they implied. He wasn’t Robin or Red Hood or even Jason Todd. He was just a man, laying on an abandoned train in rural New Jersey, watching the stars with his brother. His brother who wasn’t Robin or Nightwing or Batman or Richie Wayne or Agent 37 or even Dick Grayson. He was just a man, laying on an abandoned train in rural New Jersey, watching the stars with his brother.

Summary
And there Merlin stands, shoulders back, chest out, chin tilted upward toward the sky, like a nobleman, like a king. With every creature, everything object, everything around him, his subject. Waiting, listening intently for his next proclamation. And Arthur finds himself one of them. One of the enraptured.
Because it’s not just beauty and it’s not just magic. It’s something deeper. Something from the very essence of Merlin’s being finally coming back to the surface. It’s grace and kindness. It’s virtue and divine right.
Merlin doesn’t even try to fight the smile on his face and it’s Arthur’s undoing. He lets himself fall deeper in love than he thought possible into that dangerous sort of love that inspires wars and centuries of peace.

Summary
Dragging armfuls of stuff down the stairs, through the entry way, and across half the yard to shove them into his backseat was nothing compared to his usual workouts, but doubt was slowing him down.
Maybe this wasn’t the best idea. He and Dick were a couple’a beers and the newest Real Housewives type people. But that was the problem, wasn’t it.

Set after Episode 1x09, Ties That Bind. For Thomas Magnum, compartmentalizing traumatic events keeps him steady. Until he’s forced to recall the worst moments of his life in order to help a kidnap victim. After that, memories become harder to sequester into the nice, safe boxes in his mind. And when a seemingly-routine case turns sideways, putting Magnum—and everyone he cares about—in the sites of a killer, those memories may be the difference between life and death.

Summary
"Before," Clark asks, a glass of whiskey that has absolutely no effect on him whatsoever held loosely in his hands, "Why did you hate me?"
"Well," Bruce hums, downing the rest of his own glass in one sweep for an ounce of courage, "You killed my children."
(The day Zod attacks Metropolis, Bruce loses his kids.)
