    Summary

    It's a bit cliché to have a weird on-again off-again with your childhood best friend.

    It is decidedly less cliché when said childhood best friend is a baseball star, superhero and single mother all rolled into one. At least you aren't the baby daddy.

    “Also, is it just me or has Ultraman gotten hot?”

    His eyes suddenly shoot open. “I’m sorry— who?!”

    “The 40-meter superhero?”

    “Him?!” His voice is alert but hoarse, his throat pushing out words amidst his drowsiness.

    Summary

    You squeeze both of your hands onto the handle, planting your feet on the ground and tugging, leaning with your body weight.

    The door snaps open, and you stumble backward, nearly falling in the process.

    You peek your head into the vehicle, and for a quick second, you think you have just fallen for a trap. But you’re wrong. You’re so damn wrong.

    TDLR - You find a not-so-abandoned baby in a rusted car while on a supply run, and single-handedly break every rule that’s kept you alive for the past 10 years. Oh, and his metaphorical dad can't beat you in a fight despite leading an entire faction.

    Summary

    Living in Gotham City is always unpredictable.

    However, the stakes that you face are not vengeful rogues or trigger-happy clowns, but rather the mystifying case of a cute guy... experimenting with his laundry? And not, like, some Joker type experiment but... a genuine experiment with a rotating list of detergent types. Maybe which one works best? Maybe he just has no idea how to do his laundry? Who knows?

    You should leave it alone. You should leave him alone.

    Obviously, this does not happen, and you somehow end up friends with Tim Drake.

    For you, chronically lonely for the last few years, this is great. Good. Awesome.

    For the feelings that grow inside you that are decidedly not platonic?

    Not great.

    But... nothing is impossible. Especially here in Gotham City.

    Summary

    It’s Ellie who notices you first, halfway into their first year in Jackson.

    “Did you know that one weird mute lady down the street makes bread?” she demands as she storms into the living room, clutching a wrapped loaf of bread. “And she just gives it away?”

    “She ain’t weird just ‘cause she don’t talk, Ellie,” Joel sighs wearily as he sits up on the couch he had been sprawled across.

    “Okay, she’s weird ‘cause she keeps to herself, then.” Ellie aims a raised eyebrow back at him. “Sound familiar?”

    [In which Joel helps his quiet neighbor open Jackson's first bakery, and she makes fast friends with Ellie by plying her with baked goods.]

    Summary

    As an exchange art student in Paris, you expected things to be different from what you were used to. What you didn't expect was a flirty cat boy to be your source of inspiration, as well as of constant embarrassment.
