"How much more will I forget, Joe?" Nile asks, voice small. "It's not about what you forget," he tells her, searching for the right words. "It's like...negative space. You still feel the echo of where they have been, even when you can no longer fill in all the details. Maybe you lose some of the shading: the timber of a voice, the scent of their skin. Yet you still know them by the space they have left behind." Lovely.

Neal paints a miniature portrait, of Elizabeth, for Peter. This is really warm and lovely, suffused with the delight of loving and being loved in return.

Out Of The Sky, Into The Flow by @Dorasolo.ao3
Scott is about to promise Cassie the world, but Hope is still shaking her head and Luis is mouthing no, and with this A+ parenting team in his pocket, he chews his words thoughtfully instead. Or, the Ant-Fam is having some post-Snap growing pains. Sweet and funny.

Blood of Our Father by @acuteneurosis.ao3
Success turns to dread, but she's weathered that storm before. All Leia has to do is rescue some Jedi, find a clone army, stick it to Palpatine a few more times, and... save the galaxy. From her embarrassing teenage father. Before he loses his mind. She can do this. She can. Shmi will help. Padmé too. Probably. Sequel to "Like Fire in Our Bones" (previously recced). Excellent and compelling read with more of Leia's adventures in trying to stop the Empire from happening, her father from falling, and Padme from dying.

Batman doesn't make it to the warehouse in time. Red Hood does. Red Hood!Jason from the comics rescues YJ!Robin!Jason from the Joker. I would read a million more words of this.

Jason had made a number of jokes about his death before. Sometimes, as a way to cope and sometimes, purely because he found them genuinely funny. They had never garnered quite that reaction before, though. Also, someone apparently wanted to murder him again so, you know, fun times. Or: five times Jason made a death joke and one time someone else did it for him. I enjoyed this.

Jason's having panic attacks, he misses his family and he wants to go home. It's that simple. But Jason's never been good at making things easy for himself. Aw, Jason.

TheBruceWayne of insta by @artisticabandon.ao3
TheBruceWayne of insta by @artisticabandon.ao3
Gotham's favorite version of Bruce Wayne isn’t the “Brucie Wayne” of the tabloids. It’s their TheBruceWayne, insta sensation, well known for his insta snaps of his daily life and positive vibes. OR Bruce tries out insta after reading a self-help book. He still maintains that the rest of Gotham is weird about it. Aw, Bruce.

In the aftermath of a Justice League body swap incident, Clark is concerned about Bruce's well-being. Bruce is not thrilled about this. Clark is trying to be a good friend and eventually, Bruce lets him. Oh heart.

Long, fun AU where Zuko ends up with the Southern Water Tribe fleet mid-season 1 and ends up being adopted by Hakoda. No, really.

Effects of Obliteration by @geneticallydead.ao3
Before the fall of the Soviet Union, the Winter Soldier was sent to the American arm of Hydra - only there was a malfunction in the cryo-unit that meant it couldn't be opened, and it was left, powered but abandoned, in an underground base. 25 years later, the Avengers find it. I enjoyed this AU of how Steve gets Bucky back.
