Summary
“Can I help you?” Hal asks after he catches the man staring again.
He'd been right to think the man hadn't been entirely adverse to catching Hal's attention, since he doesn't seem embarrassed at being noticed, almost like he was being the least bit inconspicuous on purpose.
“Sorry,” the stranger says, hardly apologetic at all, “You… look like someone I know.”
Hal snorts, “Must be one handsome fellow,” he jokes with a shrug, knowing being vain is only charming if it's true.
It seems to work, since the man's indifferent expression falters, the corner of his mouth twitching in amusement as he hums deeply. Maybe it's just a trick of the light, but his baby blues seem to twinkle mischievously, “Some would say so.”
(Hal meets a guy in an expensive suit who has a thing for chilli dogs.)

Summary
As the door opened Tim quickly disabled another three separate electronic sensors in the doorjamb by swiping them with a device that looked a bit like a thumb drive. “Walk where I walk,” he said.
He took a big step over the doormat, eyed the floor carefully, then took a careful skipped sidestep to another mat against the right-hand wall, where he removed his shoes.
“What the hell?” whispered Jason, still standing in the open doorway.
Tim pointed up. There was a net rigged up on the ceiling. “Pressure pads under the carpet.”
“I repeat, what the hell?”
After Tim completely derails Jason’s beatdown attempt by asking him for a hug, Jason’s first priority is to get this touch-starved kid more cuddles. Tim’s first priority is to avoid Dick’s traps.
Jason learns a lot about his brothers and what happened while he was away, and something about himself too.

Summary
It was something like an open secret in Gotham, that even though all it’s heroes were open to help no matter the situation, each one of them had a special affinity to certain matters.
For example, children from all districts knew to yell for Nightwing if they found themselves lost and scared. Small business owners often painted little Oracle symbols on their doorsteps, to warn away possible thieves with the knowledge that Gotham’s cryptic hacker had their eye on them. Working girls would send a quick prayer to the Red Hood before seeing their seediest clients; and as such, knew who to call for if things took a turn for the worst.
And Red Robin… well. His was a very specific bunch.

Summary
Dick… is aware. He’s aware that he’s not doing well. He’s aware that Tim isn’t doing well. Hell, he’s aware that Alfred isn’t doing well.
What with Bruce being… well…
He’s aware.
But, as he stares at his little brother telling him that Bruce is alive, he can’t help but feel anything but relief. In fact, he feels a lot of bad feelings about it, and then very quickly adds guilt to those bad feelings since he can’t think of anything positive to say.
Because he’s aware that he’s not well. And that Tim isn’t well. And that Alfred isn’t well.
But they weren’t well before Bruce died, either.
------
OR Dick believes Tim about Bruce being lost in time. But believing isn't the issue.Series

Summary
If anyone asked the Batfamily which Robin had the funniest ’joining the family’ story? Well, everyone would start with, “Well it seemed like Jason had the spot taken for good after having the audacity to try and jack the Batmobile’s tires and hit Bruce with his tire iron.” And then they’d say, “But then tiny Tim decided to try and steal the whole thing.”
Or: When Tim is 11 he figures it’s not hurting anyone if he. Ya know. Takes a picture in the Batmobile. But then the power goes to his head and all of a sudden he’s hacking the Batmobile and tearing through Gotham on a rescue mission.

Summary
Time slows. Four seconds. Ekko shouts. Something is wrong. There’s no time to think. Heimerdinger jumps out of the singularity, and, in his place–
Powder takes the leap.
In another timeline, Piltover tries to rebuild. No Hexgate, no fancy Hextech, nothing. Vi is familiar with this: raw labor, strength as its own language, sweat dripping between her shoulder blades. No, she thinks. There is no time to mourn.
A tale of two sisters. Even worlds apart, they'll still always find each other.

Summary
The lanceboard of the gods is set; the pieces laid out. The world will be toppled; the cult of the Absolute will win.
Or it would win, if a discarded piece had not been returned to the board...
Years after fleeing demons in the underdark, a very dead paladin has woken up with a tadpole in her eye, a gaggle of party members who don't realise they shouldn't listen to her yet, and several unanswered questions in her head.
And Shadowheart wonders why nobody else seems to realise that their new leader can't go five minutes without lying.

“The wisps? Really. I let them stay with me, provide them with a wisp-safe environment and this is how they repay me?” Neve huffed, her hands on her hips. Rook was in her pajamas, laughing at Neve’s rare outburst as the detective wagged her fist menacingly at the wisps. “Traitors!”
“I think they’re concerned for your well-being. So am I, truth be told. You need to eat.”

Rook’s eyes widened in surprise. “Me?” she asked. “What about me?”
“Exactly!” Bellara exclaimed. But the other woman only cocked her head in confusion. “Sorry. But yes. What about you? How are you doing? You’ve been putting all this work into the team, letting us drag you on all these errands, but you haven’t spent any time for yourself lately.”

Bellara felt like she was the only person in the Lighthouse who noticed Rook favoring one leg over the other. She's determined to get to the bottom of it.
