    Summary

    “Bucky, you have got to stop living like this,” says Sam, surveying Bucky’s bare apartment with dismay.

    It looks exactly as bare and grim as it had on Sam’s previous visits: a living room that consists of one couch, one armchair, and one TV, along with a single closed cabinet, and a tiny kitchen table with one chair. Wait, two chairs. Sam’s visits have apparently occasioned the purchase of one additional chair, which Sam supposes is progress of a sort. Though Sam suspects that when he looks into the bedroom, he’ll find that exactly as it was last time too: an almost certainly unused and neatly made bed, a set of drawers, and a half-empty closet.

    When an argument about Bucky's (lack of) interior design skills turns surprisingly serious, Sam and Bucky both have to face some truths about themselves and their relationship. A trip to IKEA and a snowstorm prove to be more helpful and enlightening than expected on that score.

    Summary

    “You…” Tony’s eyes narrowed. “Where are you staying, then?” he asked, carefully, like he was afraid of the answer.

    “May is staying in one of the post-snap womens’ shelters down the street from our old apartment,” Peter responded, watching as Tony’s shoulders relaxed incrementally at the mention of May— before tensing up again when Peter didn’t continue.

    “And you?” his mentor prodded, though knowing that the non-answer in and of itself was answer enough.

    “Rooftop on 53rd, when I’m lucky.”

    OR: The Endgame fixit in which I:
    a) make everyone live,
    b) simultaneously traumatize Peter further by making him homeless due to his scroungy resourceful stubborn self-sacrificial self, and
    c) actually deal with the countless ramifications of bringing back half of the entire world’s population in a single instant— as seen through Peter’s eyes as he helps the city as Spider-Man.

    Summary

    So, it didn’t start out like this.

     

    Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-

     

    So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.

     

    It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:

    “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”

    --

    A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

    Summary

    In a world of scientifically proven psychic abilities, the practitioners - the so-called Talents - are called on to serve the public good. This is never more true than in Gotham, where the Wayne Parapsychic Institute works diligently for justice and peace in what is otherwise a mecca of rogue Talents. Bruce Wayne is one of the most powerful Talents on record; a Prime. So are all his children. All, that is, except for Tim Drake; a winged donkey to their high-flying Pegasus. Fed up with the constant reminders that he will never be able to catch up to their flight into the stars and beyond, he leaves.

    Trying to put the shattered pieces of his life together, he comes across Jason Todd; former member of the Wayne Parapsychic Institute and a powerhouse in terms of Talent, alive in an asylum years after everyone assumed him dead.

    Tim is determined to help Jason find a way back. Jason might end up teaching him a way forward.
