Summary
It’s been one of those days — the headlines are sounding particularly apocalyptic, the only appearance of the sun was brief, still half-shrouded in vapors, and nobody she loves is telling her the whole truth of what’s weighing on them. If she stays home tonight, she’s just going to stare at her phone, in the dark, on the floor, with the slowly dwindling hope that it might buzz.

Summary
Donna pauses, and, apparently unable to help herself, angles him a look that lasts a little longer than he’d like it to. “Dick,” she says, lips pressed in a frown. “You haven’t even called him?”
“I’m going over there in a few hours.”
“He’d like it if you called.”
“I texted.” He pauses, giving her an additional moment to absolve him. Unsettling that she doesn't. “It’s fine, he knows I’m busy.”

Summary
The scene goes sideways, slides into something else. Something real, Roy’s memory. Dick and Donna, tucked together in the corner of a crowded room, their heads bowed together, their knees touching. Dick brushes Donna’s hair off her shoulder. Donna laughs at something he says. In Roy’s mind, there’s – a brighter, glowing color that seems to coalesce around them. Maybe it’s a bubble. Maybe it’s a halo.
Roy’s skin is cold, several feet away, but his lips still shape a smile as he watches them. A private, unseen thing.

Or, Pacific Rim AU where Donna was Dick's copilot until she died on a shared mission. Dick goes into retirement, Roy drags him out of it.

Summary
“I do not understand,” Damian insists, and Talia purses her lips at his dogged persistence, even as she strokes a hand through his hair. “He still keeps a picture of you in his nightstand, you know.”
“You should certainly not be rooting around your father’s nightstand,” Talia admonishes gently.

Summary
“You’ve gotten old. And slow.” Talia holds the dress up to her figure, considering the way it would fall against her hips. “I heard you come in.”
“Maybe I wanted you to,” he growls, in that ridiculous voice of his.

Summary
“Great hoary hosts,” says Dr. Strange, like he says about fucking everything. “What did you do to yourself?”
“Some science threw up on my magic,” says Felicia sulkily. “I thought you could tell me what’s wrong with it.”
Strange frowns, irritatingly, at a point above her left shoulder. “You’re stuck. Like--oh, like a car spinning its wheels in mud. Something went wrong, and your luck is giving you infinite chances to get it right.”

Summary
The limping suitcase almost slipped from Zhou Zishu’s hand when he saw him, clutching a spare jacket and a bag of Skittles to the chest of his pajama shirt, under an orange scrolling LED panel that’s paging the most recently landed flight. Qantas Airways, hailing from Canberra. Everything else—the sticky carpet, the merry-go-rounds of luggage, the custodian snuffing out a cigarette in the water fountain—vaporized from Zhou Zishu’s vision. Everything else desaturated.
Wen Kexing opened his soft, pink mouth. “Say you’ve missed me.”

Summary
“I thought you would be different, you know, when I first met you,” Zoro mused.
“And what did you think I would be like?” asked Sanji sweetly, slapping a pancake onto his pan with a little too much force.
Zoro thought for a moment. “I don’t know,” he said finally. “You confuse me.”
