Summary
Ilya thinks about the last night they spent together, thinks about Shane splayed out on a hotel mattress pleading for his touch, thinks about how they hadn’t even kissed, and it starts as a strange little tickle in the back of his throat. Barely-there. He could ignore it if he wanted.
Then the intensity grows, flourishes into full-blow irritation, and suddenly he’s sputtering on his Coke and attracting the attention of the woman in the first-class seat across the aisle from him. He thinks it’s just some odd coughing fit, or that he inhaled his soda on accident, so he’s shocked when he feels something soft and smooth and triangular against his tongue.
It’s not until he spits the object into the napkin he’d received with his drink that he can see what it is: a long, thin, green leaf. A sepal.
As soon as Ilya realizes what he’s looking at, he’s flooded with dread.
Ilya's known these feelings were doomed from the start. He never thought they'd literally kill him.

Summary
AU in which Anakin and Obi-Wan are the same age and grow up together in the Jedi Temple. From their early years in the Temple to their teenage years as Padawans and later as Jedi Knights who fight in the Clone Wars, they always clash yet always find their way back to each other. While the prophecy of being the Chosen One looms over Anakin, Obi-Wan has to fight his inner demons and the notion of seemingly never being good enough.
Meanwhile, Darth Sidious schemes to take over the Republic, and he needs an apprentice.
(Now with fanart in Chapter 9.) -

Summary
The view shifts when Batman stands up. From this angle, the brightness of the city lights makes it possible to distinguish the outlines. Jason’s eyes are closed, and his head lulls backward, as if he was asleep. But there are wet streaks on his cheeks and his lips open and close slightly, soundlessly. There must be another movement too; perhaps he squeezes Batman’s hand, or attempts at a kick, because Batman readjusts his grip and says: “Shh. We’re going home. We’re going home.” Everything twice.
To the side, something glints in the darkness; a familiar shape, all sharp.
Dick pauses.
He rewinds the recording.
dick is welcomed back in gotham by his not-quite-dead brother and his father's refusal to share the report of a night from weeks prior.

Summary
Red Hood kept his distance from the Bats. They had something akin to a truce, but they always maintained a healthy level of mutual wariness and animosity. None of them knew him, not in any way that mattered, and he was content keeping things that way.
Unfortunately, secrets had a way of coming to light.

Summary
As far as Jason knew, Grayson hadn't ventured out of Bludhaven since Bruce's disappearing act six months ago, but if Nightwing's mess kept getting in the Red Hood's way, he was damn well going to deal with it himself. The trick was avoiding getting dragged into Nightwing's gravity. Dick has always had a way of making all of Jason's old wounds new again, and as Jason figures out, Dick is hardly in ideal form either.
