    Summary

    Conner had a pretty good life, all things considered. He wouldn't necessarily call it a great life, but it was good enough.
    Sure, living alone at Mount Justice with only a robot for company could get lonely sometimes, but he had his independence, his freedom from Lex, and his teammates on Young Justice.

    Unfortunately, no matter how content he was with his life, he could never quite shake the way he ached for Superman's approval. The way his insides twisted when his mistakes were met with harsh words and punishing hands. The way jealousy sunk its claws in deep every time he had to watch Superman and Jon interact. Still, he had a pretty good life, and that was all he needed.

    But when an accident ends with Conner being thrown through a wall and Superman learning that his clone isn't quite as tough as he seems, that pretty good life comes crashing down around his shoulders. Superman insists these changes are for the best, that he's trying to make amends and help, but Conner isn't so sure. Not that anybody ever seemed to care what he thought.

    At least Jon had a pretty cool video game collection. Maybe living with the Kents wouldn't be so bad.

    Summary

    “I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.

    “I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”

    “You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”

     

    In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

    [ Already, the streets are filling with people running out to join the dance; people bobbing their heads in place; people tentatively falling into a loosely structured dance, like a toddler taking its first steps. People who are following their Fire Lord’s lead. ]

    Summary

    Steve is having a hard time adjusting to the new normal, after everything that went down. He doesn't want to bother his friends with his problems, though, when they've got so much weight on their shoulders already.

    Steve stumbles on an alternate version of Hawkins, where none of it ever happened. Everyone’s alive, his headaches are gone, his friends actually want to hang out with him, and he’s… happy.

     

    (The party has to fight another monster. But this one doesn't prey on people's fears. It preys on their deepest desires.)

    [ Steve makes eye contact from the other room, and waves.

    He’s not furniture, thinks Dustin. He’s the damn walls. ]

    ———

    [ Steve comes into being slowly. ]

    Summary

    There’s a crime scene board set up off to one side. Bruce wanders over to examine it while Batman goes about preparing the tests he’ll want to complete to make sure Bruce isn’t going to tear the fabric of spacetime apart.

    He vaguely remembers this case. It was already a cold case even by the time Dick arrived, a murder whose trails had gone nowhere. It was one of the files he’d dusted off and given to Tim to practice his skills.

    He hums approvingly as he studies the board. Tim’s getting close - once he finds the witness Bruce had overlooked the first time, he’ll have the lead he needs to crack the case.

    Then he frowns, touching one of the photos of the building. It’s not one of the original crime scene photos, nor one of the ones Bruce himself had taken when the crime was fresh. Tim must have gone himself to take them after Bruce gave him the case.

    Pride sparks in his chest, twisted with shame.

    “Have you looked at this?” he asks, raising his voice enough for his younger self to hear him over by the monitors.

    Batman grunts, glancing over and then away again. “It’s a cold case,” he says. “Robin’s been working on it.”

    “I know that,” Bruce responds. “Have you looked at it?”

    He makes a satisfied little hum when he sets the egg, cooked to the perfect temperature, on the bread. Bruce had forgotten he did that.

    It’s terrible and merciful, the things you forget.
