A mix of events coming to light earlier than in canon, or during/after the fact, thus changing the (longterm) outcome; (occasionally involves brief time travel).Also fics where a particular (canon) line/conversation is a catalyst for communication &/or change.
Mostly short-ish/er, minimal to moderate impact on the long-term timeline (though possibly major impact on relationships)

Summary
“Can we talk later? Eddie’s son is missing.”
“Well, about that…” Margaret is looking at Chris, like he somehow knows how to break the news. Chris shakes his head. He didn’t want to call any of them in the first place; she can figure it out.
“About – about what?”
“Is someone missing if you know where they are?”
“Do- do you know where Chris is?” Buck’s voice is raised in bewilderment and hope. There’s a clear ‘what!’ in the background, followed by shushing noises.
“I can probably do you one better?”
“Are you – are you telling me that Chris is in Pennsylvania?” Buck is speaking very slowly and very clearly, so different from his usual fast paced ramble. “In Hershey? How did he get there?”
--
Chris fixates about what Buck shared during their conversation before he left for El Paso. Seeing similarities between his situation and Buck’s, he runs off to Hershey to learn more about Buck’s past, and hopefully get some answers for his future.- Language:

Bookmarker's Notes
Chris <3
---
The worst part is, he thinks Helena is being sincere. She believes with her whole heart and body that Chris would be better with them. It’s not anything malicious, not some evil strategy to castigate his dad. It’s really not anything deeper than an all abiding sense that she knows and can do the best. Which makes it worse.---
It sucks that they couldn’t manage their grief, weren’t able to move on to be the parents I deserved, but it was freeing to know that ultimately, it wasn’t really about me. Even if it did hurt me.”

Summary
Dick comes around to stand fully in front of him, keeping a steadying hand on Tim’s arm. “Just because you know you’re safe intellectually doesn’t mean you always feel safe,” he says softly. “It’s okay if you don’t feel safe.”
“But it’s not okay!” Tim bursts out. “Because if I don’t feel safe, then how is Jason supposed to feel safe? He shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable just because my brain is screwed up!”
There’s a faint sound by the door, barely more than an intake of breath, and his eyes snap to the no-longer empty doorway.
