Summary
Lin was about to offer to interview their contacts again, when a clatter in the bullpen caught all of their attention. There was a scuffle outside, two voices growing louder and louder as they approached their conference room. One voice they all recognized belonged to their receptionist, Layla, and the other-
Lin cursed under her breath.
The other voice was as familiar to Lin’s as her own. For most of her life, that had been a blessing. Though now, it was like a warped curse on them both. The earth bender’s heart skipped a beat. She knew, before he even opened the door that he was coming here. There was only one person alive that could sneak up on her.
OR: What if Aang dies earlier, and just as they're picking up the pieces, the new Avatar is found? Tenzin, Bumi, Kya and their family are trying to move forward, and all of their progress (or lack thereof) comes to a crashing halt.It's messy, it's rough, it's them at their worst

Summary
Dick gets fired from being Robin. And he quits, sort of. Regardless, Gotham can’t be his home anymore. Bruce and Dick have never been father and son without being Batman and Robin, not really. Dick doesn’t feel like they know how. Dick spends a summer leaning on his friends and trying to figure out what to do while trying to reconcile the fact that the place he was promised isn’t there anymore. Also, he’s pretty sure he’s in love with his best friend, which is entirely unhelpful.
It’s messy, it’s complicated, it’s them figuring it out.
(If you read my fic: “oh where have you been, oh blue eyed son?” This is like chapter four stretched into its own fic)

Summary
“They’re a means to an end.” Jason pinched the bridge of his nose, already exhausted by his questions. “This city needs more support from the people for the people.”
“And that’s coming from the Falcones?” Dick scoffed. “The Sionis?”
“The Underground has a lot of players, okay?” Jason explained, putting his hands up. “They’re just some of them.”
“Yeah, I’m familiar.” Dick spat. He wanted to be patient. He wanted to approach this delicately, but that ship had sailed. It was just too much. Too close. Too ridiculous.
“They don’t deal to kids.” Jason argued. He’d quickly shed the causal air that had carried him into the house. His shoulders were hiked up to his ears now. “I make them not deal to kids.”
“Oh sorry,” Dick drawled, leaning back in his chair. “I didn’t realize you were saving the city one street corner at a time.”

Summary
“Yup.” Jason said, popping the ‘p.’ “I’ve never been. There’s a new drug thing set up in nice-”
“It’s pronounced neece.” Dick said, before he could stop himself. Bruce would’ve corrected it, but it was something so ingrained in him it was hard to let it slide. Jason stopped aiming and rolled his eyes.
“Of course you know that.” Jason shook his head. “I bet one of Bruce’s fancy tutors-”
“I used to live there.” Dick said, cutting him off. Jason gave Dick a lot of flack for the fact that he got the Wayne sliver spoon placed in his hands first and earlier, which was fair, but this was different. This was from before.
“What?” Jason stood up straight.
“I spent the winters there when I was in the circus.” Dick shrugged. “My parents loved the beaches so sometimes we’d stay longer too. It was some of the longest stretches of time I’d spend in one place, I think.” He cleared his throat, “well, before moving here.”

Summary
“I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow.” Artemis lamented, lying back against her mat, ice pack secured under her tank top strap. “I have to wear a uniform for PE and this’ll totally show.”
“You could say you fell on your bike.” Dick offered, laying another piece across his right knee.
“Think anyone will buy that?” Artemis asked, glancing at him from the floor.
“If you sell it.” Dick said. He stood up, flexing both taped legs to make sure he had full range of motion. “Do you have a bike? A skateboard?” He asked.
“Nope.”
“Time to start riding one.” Dick said. “Mine is half of my excuses.”
“The other half?” Artemis asked, sitting up to gingerly start her own routine.
“I’m from Gotham.” Dick smirked, rolling his shoulders back and forth. “What if I got mugged?” He asked, rhetorically. Artemis raised an eyebrow.
“No one would believe I got mugged.”
“Then buy a skate board.”

Summary
“We need a detective. Someone smart.” Guy implied, hoping the message about a certain nocturnal-themed hero got through to Hal. Batman sure wouldn't do the Lanterns any favors, but if Hal asked, maybe the World's Greatest Detective would agree to help.
Too bad Hal was oblivious, his mind only filled with thoughts of a particular red-spandex-clad speedster. “I know just the guy.”

Summary
"Why don't you hide them?" Stephanie asks quietly.
Although she's not looking down at Bruce's arms anymore, the white stripes of damaged skin across his knuckles and forearm are seared into her memory. Bruce doesn't need to ask what she's talking about, because he had definitely seen the way she was staring down at his scars.
He doesn't shrug, because Batman doesn't shrug, but he does something close to it while gently tightening the bandages across her abdomen, fingers ghosting the healed cut across the bottom of her stomach, "Why don't you?"
She doesn't have an answer to that.
(Stephanie Brown and people who live with talking scars.)

Summary
"How old are you anyway?"
Bruce smirks a little, “Pretty old.”
“How old am I?” Dick rephrases the question. Realistically, given the lines on Bruce's face and the grey in his hair, he has to be more than a decade or two in the future. But, well, Dick's still reeling from being twelve. He can't begin to imagine a world where there's anything past tomorrow.
Bruce's smirk sinks a little, but not quite to a frown. It's a distant smile, fighting through the shadows of whatever it is Bruce sees when he looks down at him. In a quiet, mournful tone, he says, “Not that old. Not old at all.”
(A young Robin and Nightwing swap places; Batman is always the constant.)
