Summary
While on a mission in overseas, Gojo gets knocked out by an unknown sorcerer. Within a week, every sorcerer in Japan has heard about it.
—/—/—/—
“A week ago,” she repeats. “I was in… Germany, right? You mean the skinny guy with white hair?”
Naoya finds his words faltering in the face of her absolute indifference. “What—are ya livin’ under a rock or something?” he demands. “You don’t even know who Gojo Satoru is?”
—/—/—I do not give permission to use my work with any form of AI, in any way at all. That should be obvious without this statement, but apparently this is the world we live in.

Ayra's Guide to Chaos and Capes by Silverclaw1

Summary
Ayra Strykes has known Bruce Wayne since she was a curious six-year-old with a knack for reading people and a sharp tongue that even Batman couldn’t ignore. Now, at eight, left in Bruce’s care for a while, she quickly realizes that Gotham’s heroes need more than just muscle and gadgets—they need a social connector, a master strategist of chaos management, and someone who actually knows how to keep Batman express some form of emotion.
Now, years later, she’s the one who books the gala alibis, schedules "accidental" rooftop interventions, and keeps a running spreadsheet of Batfamily grudges and snack preferences. Need Red Robin and Red Hood in the same room without bloodshed? Ayra's got a five-step plan and an emergency cake. Wondering how Batman ended up using full sentences? Blame Ayra.
Sometimes she fights crime, but she does make sure the people who do on a full time basis, are properly caffeinated, mildly functional, and slightly less feral.
Because let’s face it — Gotham might survive without Batman, but the Batfamily? They’d fall apart without Ayra Strykes.

Summary
“They know all our names.”
“Actually, I’m just reading your name tag.” An escrima stick flicked the edge of the badge clipped onto her hip.
“Must not be a lot of crime in Bludhaven if you’re here.”
“Just here to help”, he flicked her badge again, causing it to flip, “FPCP Mariam Hayes. Clunky moniker, you got there, Mariam.”
“Forensic Psychology Criminal Profiler.”
Nightwing sucked in a breath, shaking his head in condolences.
________________________________________The odds of Detective Mariam 'Mary' Hayes ever willingly working with Dick Grayson again were slim. 30,000 officers were on the GCPD's payroll. Bludhaven was 30 minutes away. It had been 3 months since they'd last spoken.
But then again, it only took 100 days for Bludhaven to disband its behavioral analysis department. 10 people were on Gotham's payroll as FPCPS. And there had already been one too many missing girls. So were the odds ever that slim, or had fate maliciously fudged the numbers?

Summary
Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.
It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.
(Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

Summary
Maybe if the video ended there, Shane thought, it would be okay. Okayish. Still incriminating. Still a fucking disaster. Still embarrassing, to have his breakup with this beautiful actress filmed and disseminated on Reddit of all fucking places, but not a nail in his coffin, burying him alive. But the video didn’t end there.
“Can I ask if you’ve ever been with another guy?” she had to ask.
And he, tears visible in his eyes, had to nod.
Just once. Just a single nod.
Why did he have to nod?
“Have you ever told anyone that before?” He shook his head. “Was it different? With a guy?”
“Of course.”
Of course.
“Was it better?”
“Yes.”
+++
Shane’s conversation with Rose is secretly recorded. Months later, after the All-Star game and Ilya’s confession in Russian, the video gets leaked online. Shane is outed to the world while Ilya is in Russia, and must now finish the 2016-2017 season with the entire world in on his secret.
