    Summary

    This is not what Slade expected when the Winter Soldier said he wanted to talk.

    “You want me to fuck your boyfriend,” Slade says, sitting back in the spindly cafe chair and crossing his arms.

    “Not my boyfriend.” Barnes takes a sip of his tea and stares at him impassively from the other side of the small table.

    “You work together, you live together, you sleep together…”

    “I don’t sleep much.”

    Summary

    Peter Burke thought he was prepared for anything when he agreed to take Neal Caffrey on as his CI. Even the man turning out to be from Gotham wasn't a big problem; Peter was too, after all. However, the man's increasingly ridiculous explanations ending with "well, it's a Gotham thing" might... but, hey, at least Peter gets to use the same excuse now. If only Neal's excuses actually made sense— sure, Gothamites learn to fight young, but not long enough to take out a whole warehouse NEAL.

    OR

    Neal huffs. "I'm telling the truth Peter. I don't know what else to tell you."

    Peter snorts, and pulls up to June's house. "Maybe you should've chosen a handler who couldn't call you out on Gothamite bullshit."

    Neal opens the door. "Maybe that's exactly why I chose you."

    OR OR

    a very loose 5+1 of times peter was trying to get answers from neal and the one time he already knew

    Summary

    In a universe that falls somewhere in between Teen Titans and Young Justice, Robin was fourteen years old on the day he was killed in action, caught in a clever trap laid by the world’s most dangerous mercenary assassin.

    Deathstroke’s Apprentice was fifteen on the day he finally surrendered to the Justice League, with blood on his hands and scars that will never heal.

    Dick Grayson is seventeen on the day he chooses to face Slade Wilson again.

    Summary

    There is a picture in one of the books of a worn young man, heavily scarred with gentle eyes. Remus Lupin, he is identified as. The man who was watching Charles, and presumably Harry. The man who died defending them. Harry traces his fingertips over the man’s face and wonders.

    And then he stops, and reels all those thoughts into a tangled knot and tucks it away.

    They didn’t want him; that’s fine. He doesn’t want them either.

    Alternatively; Harry James Evans is Sorted Slytherin, desperate to stay hidden from the family that gave him up so many years ago. Severus Snape owes debts to a child presumed dead and the child's tormented godfather; and now he has a cunning, paranoid snake to charm all without tipping anyone else off to the boy's true identity.
