    Summary

    Hua Cheng stands before the heavy gates that lead to Xie Lian’s study, shifting his weight from one foot to the other.
    Xie Lian probably knows he’s there, but he doesn’t open the door, giving Hua Cheng time to build up the courage to go inside on his own two feet.
    He hesitates for a minute because he knows why he’s been summoned.
    Hua Cheng is confident that Xie Lian has read Yin Yu’s report on their last mission together. It’s all there. Hua Cheng knows better than to lie to Xie Lian, and Yin Yu is a practical, loyal man, and loyalty to Hua Cheng also means loyalty to his god.
    So he can’t imagine Xie Lian is very pleased with how he chose to manage the situation.
    Hua Cheng, surely, is going to get punished.

    or

    Xie Lian gives Hua Cheng the opportunity to understand himself better through exploring pain and pleasure.

    Summary

    Tim is prepared to take the steps necessary to ensure that Bruce will not feel obligated to adopt Tim when a comatose Jack Drake inevitably dies. But what could be better than preventing Bruce from ending up with a son he doesn't want? Bringing back the one he does.

    Jason agrees to the Replacement's stupid, stupid plan to invite some strange adult man he's never met to come live with him, if only to keep the idiot alive long enough for him to serve his purpose in the Great Red Hood Revenge Scheme.

    Might this new roommate situation have an impact on either of their worldviews? Surely not...

    Summary

    “Are you an organ thief?”

    Robin made a choking sound.

    “An organ thief?” Batman repeated, and now he sounded a little amused.

    Tim nodded once, which was a mistake, because the pier rolled unnaturally under his feet.

    “Important screening question,” he said.

    OR:

    Tim is high on pain meds, but is he going to let that stop him from saving Batman and Robin? Of course not.

    Summary

    “Oh no,” Tim deadpans, looking straight at the camera. “I’ve been kidnapped. Whatever shall I do.”

    Tim wants to ditch the quarterly WE board meeting. Jason wants cash. There is a painfully obvious solution here.

     

    Or; Jason kidnaps Tim for ransom whenever it's convenient. Bruce just wishes they’d both ask him for things normally, like regular people.

    Summary

    “So!” Dick says with great fanfare, throwing himself across Bruce’s designated chair with nary a care in the world.

    The Justice League look on with a mix of befuddled awe, like they’ve never seen a child dressed up like a traffic light before. Which they haven't. Bruce mentally steels himself as Dick clears his throat. “Why am I here, you ask? Well, when two people love one another very, very much-”

    “You’re adopted.” Bruce says.

    Or; Bruce lets Dick attend a Justice League meeting on the Watchtower. Bruce has regrets.
