Summary
Her own personal Noverian peak. That’s what it was supposed to be. Nothing but the discovery: no distractions, no comfort, no windows looking out—no familiar faces. But it's starting to look like her winning streak might have ended in that pile of Citadel rubble, if it ever extended that far to begin with.
In which Shepard doesn’t want to be found, and Garrus, of course, has other ideas.
────
One polished pauldron bobs. “How does the Earth idiom go? No use beating a dead—” A long-suffering sigh. “What was it again?”“A dead horse. And yet, you’re here. Beating it.”
Pot, kettle. She wishes he’d just fucking say it.

Summary
Soulmarks were supposed to be simple. Instead, Dave got two aliens. Karkat and Sollux got one human. And everyone? They got more than they bargained for.

Summary
“Bruce was being dragged away from his training. Well, as much as researching fighting techniques and hiring personal trainers could count as training, but he’s still only seventeen years old.
If Bruce is being forced away from home for a grueling ten weeks, he might as well do some investigating while he’s at it.”
Or, the summer Bruce Wayne went to Smallville (and it ended up being the best thing to ever happen to him).
