Summary
Vader has been in service to Darth Sidious since he was nine years old. He wonders if his freedom will always mean blood on his hands. He wanted to help people once.
Padmé has been a champion against galactic imperialism since she was queen at fourteen. She has never stopped being haunted by the sacrifice given to liberate her planet.
They stood apart like this, one in the light and the other in the dark, until the schism rifting across the galaxy forces them to meet on a stage set millenia ago. Love and justice both demand courage, and Vader and Padmé find theirs tested as they fight their way towards changing their galaxy's future, and to each other.

“You are all hopeless,” Pigsy declared. “Desperately undersocialized.”
Wukong was not gonna let that stand, even if there was some truth to it. Okay, like five centuries of truth to it. “We’ve been socializing with you, idiot!”Or:

Summary
When Damian traces the source of a lethal new party drug to Metropolis University, it only makes sense to go undercover as a student to ferret out the culprits. He doesn't expect to run into Met U student Jon Kent, and he definitely doesn't expect to get mistaken for Jon's boyfriend. But hey, what harm could it do to play along?
This is going to get complicated fast.

Summary
Do they know? Does Atlas? He has to, at least somewhat. He had the audacity to talk like he knew her when they first met, when he brought up the 'boarding schools'. She wasn't June Roquelaure back then; he knew who she used to be.
She had been June McClure, from New Orleans.
An exploration of how June met Charlie and Bosco, got to New York, had her life changed by strangers, yelled at the Horsemen, escaped an abusive boarding school, and robbed a mall. Not necessarily in that order.
