Summary
"Why don't you?" Lewis asks.
They're eating sandwiches on a bench outside the Ashmolean. The sky is a clear, cold blue. Lewis's question appears to have emerged directly from it and dropped into James' lap without a parachute.
"I considered it, sir, but once you turn down MI-5, I don't think they're too keen on you changing your mind."
Lewis knocks his shoulder into James' in reprimand. "Go into academia, I mean. Teach or something."
James looks down at his ham sandwich and back up at Lewis. "And leave all this?"

Bookmarker's Notes
This entire series is just exquisite—delicate touches like watercolor in a perfect character study.
It leaves me yearning for more (unlikely, given the age), yet it is also perfectly formed, balanced, capable of standing as it is.

Written for this prompt, although it's strayed a little from the prompt's intention I think, sorry! Prompt: Enter Will Graham, escort in D.C. providing the powerful men of Capitol Hill what they need because he knows them better than they could know themselves.

Summary
“How did you get past the wards?” Derek had put them up, with Peter’s grudging assistance, after the Alpha pack had made themselves at home a few times too many.
The guy pulled a face. “You mean the wards a five-year-old girl with the mental ability of a goldfish could deconstruct?” He blinked wide eyes at Derek. “Gee, I don’t know. It’s bound to go down as one of life’s great mysteries.”
Derek despised him.

Summary
Jason Todd is seriously injured during patrol one night, and is forced to stay at the manor to recuperate until his injuries are healed. To pass the time, he makes a list of things he never got to do before he died.
Except there's one small problem: most of them involve Bruce, and Jason doesn't really think Bruce cares all that much about him anymore.This is a story about how wrong he is, but I made it sad anyway.

Character studies are my jam, my special sauce. And this one is very special indeed.
