    Summary

    Severus Snape has his emotions in check. He knows that he experiences anger and self-loathing and a bitter yearning, and that he rarely deviates from that spectrum… Until the first-year Luna Lovegood arrives to his class wearing a wreath of baby’s breath. Over the next six years, an odd friendship grows between the two, and Snape is not sure how he feels about any of it.

    Summary

    The whole scenario had been strange, Bruce reflected later, on his way to bed. Jason didn't regularly stand in alleys, ignoring his surroundings, talking about half-remembered memories.

    And yet…

    Summary

    Light footsteps, soft rustling of fabric. A thump against one of the other doors in the hall, like a foot or an elbow, followed by a quietly snarled curse.

    Damian lets out an irritated sigh.

    He jerks the door the rest of the way open, fixing a glare into the dim light of the hall. “It is four in the morning,” he hisses at the small shadow now frozen in the doorway across and one down from his own, wide eyes staring back at him in the moonlight. “You understand that the time after patrol is intended to be for sleep?

    Todd hunches his shoulders. Were he a cat, his back would be puffed up defensively. “Then go to bed,” he hisses. “It’s not my fault you have freaky bat hearing!” His eyes dart nervously towards Father’s door at the end of the hallway.

    Summary

    "Hey," Jason says, poking his head in through the door, making sure his body is angled so that there's no way the boy inside will be able to see Bruce.

    That's as far as he gets before he falters.

    The boy inside the dim-lit cell is tucked as far back into the corner of the cot as he can get, scrawny limbs wrapped around himself like the curled husk of a spider. His teal eyes are locked on Jason, but he doesn't move — not even a flinch.

    He's as perfectly frozen as a bird in the brush as a hound sniffs closer.

    Jason swallows, his throat abruptly so tight it's hard to breath. He's not sure either of them are.

    The boy's eyes flick just a fraction past him, to the open cave beyond. One of them is surrounded by a dark bruise.

    Jason steps cautiously into the cell, closing the door behind him, and watches his own eyes dim as his escape route closes.

    “Listen, kid, time to pack it in. You look like you’re frozen to the roof. Sit there any longer and you’ll be buried in the snow. N wouldn’t let me hear the end of it."
