Summary
“Show me your wrists” Dick says
He’s turned to look at him and he can now clearly see his brother’s half-angry, half-scared face, but he doesn’t care about that. He doesn’t care if he’s scaring him, or making a mess of his things, all he cares about is that bone deep fear that makes his whole body tremble and that image of that little boy in the rye field running towards the cliff with no one to stop him.
“What?”
“Show me your wrists, Jason.” He shouts and tries to take hold of his hands and turn them around forcefully.
“No!”
“Show me your wrists!”
And Jason lets him. He lets him pull his hands towards him, he lets him turn them upside down so that the screen of his watch is facing the floor, he lets him pull up his sleeves…
Or, after Dick confronts Bruce about the batarang incident, he goes to Jason’s place. It is not a happy visit.

Summary
“It was about the boy, wasn’t it?”
I nodded. His arms were still around me and it was the only thing keeping me afloat.
“You were so afraid. I’ve never seen you so afraid before.” he said.
“It was terrible.”
Follows chapter 6 of the book. Patroclus tells Achilles of the murder of Clysonymus. Unfortunately, nightmares are never far behind.

Summary
“Would it be so difficult for you to accept him?” he asks desperately. “Everyone else has.” he kneels right next to the bed. He looks at Bruce, at his mentor. Mentor and mentor only, never father. Not when he was younger and certainly not now. He takes Bruce’s hand in his, squeezes it more than he should.
“He is such a good kid, Bruce.” He can feel his tears running down his face. “And he’s in so much pain.”
Bruce closes his eyes at that. He looks like he’s been hit.
Or, Dick learns of the batarang incident and confronts Bruce about it.

Of golden hair and angry eyes by ManonBlackbeak

Summary
His anger seems so stupid now, as he looks at those hurt eyes. How could he have ever been so cruel, so careless. How has he fooled himself into thinking that he would be able to sacrifice those beautiful sweet eyes, just so the Achaean warriors could live. Does that not make him a murderer too? One worse than Achilles. Worse, so much worse.
He hates himself. He hates himself so much he is afraid he’ll choke on it. He hates himself for loving him, for hurting him, for not loving him enough or loving him too much. There is no solution to this hatred, no end to this endless chasm inside him. It is only Achilles’ golden brilliance, his loving smile that has kept that darkness at bay and now? What happens now? Without Achilles, without his smile and laugh and love. He’d sooner die than hurt him again. He’d sooner die than let tears fall down that golden face. He’d sooner die than lose his love.
Takes place one day before Patroclus begs Achilles to let him fight in his place. Patroclus can't stand seeing all his comrades falling to their deaths while they do nothing to help them. It spirals from there.
Second chapter is from Achilles' point of view. -

Summary
He turns to look at him then, letting the wine-dark see fade away from his vision. “I hope you return to your home one day, Odysseus. To your wife and to your son. I hope you are still a man worthy of them when that happens.”
Takes place after they leave from Skyros. Odysseus has found them and they have now learnt of the prophecy. Perhaps in another world, one that wasn't as wretched as their own, Odysseus would have helped them get away, would have urged them to go and live their beautiful lives, to not sail to Troy, but not in this one.

Summary
Growing up is no progression, nor is it peaceful and natural. It is violent, perhaps one of the most violent transformations humans will ever go through in their lives. This series is inspired by the book “The Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger and it circulates around this theme. It starts with Bruce’s inability to see Jason as the son he lost and how this begins to affect everyone around them, especially Dick. It is a bit of an AU when it comes to the batfamily’s relationships with each other, but that is also up to everyone’s interpretation.
Every one of them is standing at the edge of the rye field, some are falling, some are keeping others from falling and some remain forever frozen at the edge.
(P.S. I do not use A.I. (I hate it in fact), and I do not want it used on my works either.)

Summary
Something is wrong. Korra can feel it from the moment she wakes up. It's not that she can't move her legs, or speak without slurring her words. It's the way every conversation feels rehearsed—like they all know what she's going to say before she says it, and she's the only one who never got to practice.
(Or: Author looks up mercury poisoning, realizes the venom of the Red Lotus is the most horrifying thing ever depicted on Nickelodeon.)

Every time she’d thought about the Federation and what she’d done, she told herself that she’d do it again if she had the chance. She insisted upon it until her dying day.
This time would be different.
