    Summary

    “My father, hm, he happens to be a regular client of Waterford’s. I mean, the crystals factory.”

    “Okay,” she says, hoping this isn’t going where she thinks it’s going.

    “His entire damned house is filled with that stuff. Like, glass everywhere. He eats from crystal plates, for — well, I might have spent years with cold sweat every time I had to have dinner with him because of course he wouldn’t settle for less and I was scared shitless I’d break one of the plates. Anyway, when I was twelve, my brother happened to break one of those vases of his.”

    … This is going exactly where she was thinking it would, damn it, and — she’s met Tyrion. She thinks she has a clue of how badly Tywin Lannister would have taken it if he found out he broke the thing.

    “Since I knew my father would have been way less terrible to me than to him,” Jaime sighs, “I, uh, said it was my fault.”

    “He didn’t —”

    “He made me pick the whole thing up with bare hands,” Jaime says, sounding entirely too detached about it for it to be remotely healthy.

    “What the fuck,” she blurts without even trying to stop herself.

    Summary

    Ser Byrn doesn’t smile too often, but he does now, a small, tentative grin that shows his crooked teeth and does reach his eyes.

     

    “My lady, if I thought you were the kind of helpless maiden knights rescue in songs all the time, I really would be a complete fool.”

     

    For a moment, she wonders, is he fucking serious.

    But – good gods, he is. His lovely blue eyes are staring straight into hers, and there isn’t one thing about the way he’s looking at her that suggests he’s japing. Hells, he’s still blushing. And he’s still touching her face as if he thinks she’s some kind of precious glass, which is all goddamn wrong but at the same time feels so nice she could weep with it –

    Maybe, a small traitorous voice tells her, maybe those knights you used to sing about do exist after all.

    Summary

    Somewhere in the multiverse, there's a universe where letting his children dress up in capes and follow him into vigilantism seems like a good idea.

    Bruce is determined that it isn't going to be this one . . . Despite his children's repeated attempts to convince him otherwise.

    (Or: "When you're eighteen, you can do what you want. Until then, no capes.")

    Summary

    Once a snake has shed its old skin, it will never be able to crawl back into it again. No damage done to a person ever fully heals. From the Asylum to All Hallow’s Eve, Jason Todd had learned this lesson the hard way.
