    “What was hers?” Jason asks finally. Bruce looks up at him, fiddling with the flashdrive in his hand, and back at the empty doorway. “Her favorite?”

    “I can't recall.”

When her father and friends start joining mob wars Steph knows she has to do something about it before Gotham collapses.

    Summary

    'You feel nothing! It must not even compute for you! You never loved her!'

    He regrets the words the moment they come out of his mouth. But that other, older Spock said that he needed to get command of the ship, and to do so, must get his younger counterpart to acknowledge his emotions. Spock is not the first Vulcan Jim has had dealings with, and he can think of few things that would get T’pri as riled up as quickly as insinuating that she doesn’t love him.

    He gambles that Spock is the same about his mother, and it pays off.

     

    (Or, the one where Jim has a Vulcan daughter, and it leads to all sorts of emotions.)

    update: now with a chapter two from Spock’s perspective!

    Summary

    "Oh." Nightwing said. "It's your first time."

    "My what?" Jason said.

    "It's like 'The Time Traveler's Wife.' Except I'm not your wife. Not that I'd be a bad wife, but not for you. That'd be gross - Wait, is that movie even out, yet?" Nightwing rambled, and Jason stood up on wobbly legs. "Shoot. I guess it doesn't matter. Not relevant -"

     

    Or Jason Todd is a time traveler, and Dick Grayson is always his destination.

    A story about brothers doing their best.

    Summary

    “Conner. Truth or dare?”

    “I’m not going on another fetch quest,” Conner said. “Truth.”

    “Okay, cool guy. What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever done?”

    “Ugh, fine… When I was younger, I used to use my TTK to give myself secret hugs.”

    He said it like he expected them all to start laughing.

    No one started laughing.
