It Wasn't Real (But We Were Happy) by @lurkinglurkerwholurks.ao3
This is super-id-tastic Tim fic where he thinks no one else in the family notices or needs him so he decides to cut all ties cleanly, but he's not really right about any of it (I mean, I feel like this could have more clearly shown that he was wrong, that he was depressed and blinkered by it, but that probably lets some air out of how id-tastic it is).
Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings by Joy Harjo | Poetry Foundation
1. SET CONFLICT RESOLUTION GROUND RULES: Recognize whose lands these are on which we stand. Ask the deer, turtle, and the crane. Make sure the spirits of these lands are respected and treated with goodwill. The land is a being who remembers everything. You will have to answer to your children, and their children, and theirs— The red shimmer of remembering will compel you up the night to walk the perimeter of truth for understanding.
*sob* #oh no clone feels With a bell to tell us when we're hungry There's a bell to tell us when we're tired A bell that tells us to rise and fight A bell to rise and die It's just all bells Sometimes I ring myself To see if I might chime
Jason has a habit of stealing the Batmobile's tires. It's tradition. This is a lovely look at Jason stealing the Batmobile's tires and what that means to Bruce. Oh heart.
Warlock Dowling is over-dramatic, insecure and inclined towards running away, which makes sense since he was primarily raised by a certain over-dramatic demon. After the apocalypse Warlock heads home to England to find his nanny. Oh heart.
After losing his memory, Bruce asked Alfred not to tell him about his vigilante life, but he's beginning to think his butler left a few other things out. Like, say, his kids. Ouch.
Is this really a second chance? by @silveronthetree.ao3
Time Travel AU. A newly minted Fulcrum runs into Padawan Skywalker. They get a little more intimate than they ever have/will. Warm and lovely Anakin/Ahsoka.
How Many Roads? or, 27 Times Jim Kirk Hit On Nyota Uhura by @Deastar.ao3
After the bar fight, Nyota thinks to herself that if this is what being hit on by Jim Kirk leads to, she's very glad she's never going to have to see him again. Lovely look at Uhura and Kirk's friendship over the years.
Aziraphale has certainly dabbled in the world of carnal delights over the years, most notably in the late nineteenth century, when a certain infernal adversary was enjoying a century-long nap and seemingly the only way to pass the time had been to develop some hobbies. What Aziraphale had discovered during those explorations was that he liked sex—the closeness, the affection, the sweat-slick drag of body against body—but he didn’t need it. There was no sharpness to his physical appetites, no urgency, little direction. He certainly didn’t experience anything like the drunkening haze of lust that he saw in his bed partners sometimes. It seemed like quite a nice state to be in; still, Aziraphale felt no real loss. He’d never understood the full appeal of risotto either, but there were plenty of other dishes to be enjoyed. This is adorable.
After almost a year out of the ice, the Asset is more Bucky Barnes than Winter Soldier. It's HYDRA's mistake that they stuck him in a cell between Wanda and Pietro. Bucky's got a soft spot for kids in trouble. Oh heart.
