Summary
It isn’t just the name thing. It’s a lot of little things. Will spacing out, or tapping his first and second fingers idly on his other wrist, or saying things with a weird lilting inflection, or fiddling with the radio knobs for a little too long in the basement, like he’s searching for something.
(‘Midnight,’ Mike could have sworn he heard Will mumble, one of those times. ‘Midnight…’)
--
Mike realizes he's stuck in Camazotz.

Summary
“I know you don’t understand. Because I haven’t been honest with you, Mike. Or— or you, Mom. I’ve been keeping things from you, because everything I have, everything in here—”
Will’s finger jabs at his chest, enough to leave an indent in his shirt over his heart, and Mike wishes he wouldn’t do that so hard—
“He takes. He takes it away from me. And I don’t want you to hear this from anyone but… but me."

Summary
He knows which buttons to push, and most of the time, he pushes them in the right order, but there are just some moments where he gets frazzled anyway, and his finger slips, and, and, and —
“It just… feels like all of a sudden, she’s, like, all over you. Is all.”
“‘All over me??’” That’s a direct hit! Dirk the Daring has only one life remaining. Ready your next two quarters now. “That… is so rich coming from you, Mike. I mean, you can’t be serious. You spent the entire summer before I moved away ignoring all your friends to–to make out with my sister. And now, I hang out with Robin. My friend. Like, twice, and you get all pissy and grossed out about the concept of being all over someone? Are you kidding me?”

Or, Mike is jealous of Will and Robin's budding relationship.

“It’s yours,” he argues.
“It’s yours, too. I want you to have it.”--

Summary
Turning to ‘Idiot,’ he opened his mouth, holding the produce he’d just scanned to his chest, out of reach from the guy. And, for the first time, ‘Idiot’ fixed his gaze on Keith. And, fuck, he was actually kind of cute. Keith’s mouth snapped shut before he could say something stupid. Instead, ‘Idiot’ apparently decided to do it for him, with a (stupidly adorable) shit-eating grin, no less.
“Hey, nice melons.”
--
Keith and Lance are students working in the same grocery store.

Summary
He takes a long, slow breath. Ignores the glares from the other students. “Superboy,” he murmurs. “It’s me. If you’re listening, I could use some help.”
Or: 5 times Superboy saves Tim Drake, and one time Tim Drake saves Superboy.

Summary
The man, dressed humbly in a simple black shirt, wears his hair just long enough to be tied back at the nape of his neck. He’s no young man, perhaps a decade younger than Lawrence himself at most, but his eyes possess a boyish lucidity.
It’s a sombre time; everyone wears a similar gloom in their eyes. But those who grieve with particular anguish recognise one another. It is the grief of mourning a man rather than a symbol.
Perhaps it is not so much recognition, but a quiet attraction—like a moth drawn to a flame.
(Years ago, Vincent Benítez resigned from his post after a surgery in Geneva. A month ago, Thomas Lawrence resigned as Cardinal Dean. Two strangers meet in Vatican City, following the death of the late Pope, grappling with grief, guilt, and sorrow—together.)
