Summary
“You know what sucks, Pete?” Tony says, “Watchin’ a kid you’ve known since he was fifteen fading away in front of your very eyes.”
“Stop lookin’ then,” Peter says.
Just like Dr. Johnson, Tony can’t resist Peter’s innate charm. He looks away to hide his smirk and turns back once he’s gotten ahold of himself.
“You need social interaction; everyone’s saying you’re isolating. That’s not gonna fly and you know it, so here’s your choice,” he says. “The Torch or Osborn?”
“Osborn,” Peter says.
“You forgive like a saint, Mr. Parker.”
“Save it for confession, Mr. Stark.”
(Peter loses his powers and, having stretched the limits of his body for years as Spiderman, ends up trapped in a cycle of dying and being brought back to life by the dregs of his healing factor. He needs help, but he doesn't know who to turn to when everyone, everywhere seems to be trying to save him.)

Summary
“Tony. What the hell are you doing here?”
“We were hungry,” Stark said, at least pretending like this was all one big happy coincidence. “And it just so happened we were in the neighborhood—”
“You were not in the neighborhood,” Steve snarled and woah. Bucky perked up at that tone of voice. “If all of you”—he snapped his hand out at the group, nearly whacking the goddamn alien god in the face—“were in the neighborhood, then the neighborhood would be on fire.”
“—we were in the neighborhood,” Stark continued, unfazed, raising his voice over Steve’s rant, “and thought, how about some lunch between friends?”
Or: The Avengers crash Steve and Bucky’s date. Steve reacts badly, Bucky sulks, and all their friends are super helpful.

Summary
Robin is magic. Robin has always been magic. This is more literal than some might imagine.
--
Bruce bans metas and magic from Gotham, whenever he can, but if he’s aware of the irony in enforcing this rule with Robin at his side, he never comments on it. As a child, Dick is sure that he knows because Batman Knows Everything. As an adult, or near enough, he wonders if that is true, or if the only person who can feel the magic glittering across his skin is Dick himself.

Summary
In which people are shaped both by their circumstances and by their natures.
Featuring: Cassandra Grayson, Jason Gordon, Barbara Todd, Richard Drake, Damien Brown, Timothy Al Ghul, and Stephanie Cain.
Yes I did write this solely for the title.
--
Cassandra Grayson is young and brilliant. She moves with grace in her every action; she smiles brightly and freely and laughs at everyone’s jokes. She understands five languages – Romani, Cantonese, English, French, and BSL – but doesn’t speak much in any of them. Her parents communicate with her in a hodge-podge of all five and they listen to her expressions, her silences, as much as they do to her words. She loves them more than anything and they love her just the same. Robin, they call her, with love.

Summary
When Tim’s parents start working with Lex Luthor, there’s only one thing to do.
--
“Alright,” Steph said, after she’d tried and failed to suffocate Tim with his own pillow for taking her phone. “So what’s the next step of the plan, then? Does Superman have his own hotline? Do we just go to Metropolis and yell about it a lot?”
That might work, actually, but it would create a lot of opportunities for Luthor to know what Tim had done. Which would create a lot of opportunities for Tim’s dad to know what Tim had done, and for Tim to get disappeared by goons and drowned in the harbor, or sent to a reform school without any computer science classes, or something.
“Metropolis yes,” Tim said, “yelling no.”
