Summary
Are you still scared? Osamu asked.
The answer was yes. The answer was no. The answer was to keep kissing. The answer was: I wish I could’ve married you. The answer was: I wish we had never met. The answer was: I need you by my side until I take my very last breath.
Rintarou couldn’t say any of those things out loud, so he said nothing at all.
Prince Rintarou is desperate to save his kingdom. The Hero of Hyrule, Miya Osamu, may be his only chance.

Summary
“No comment.”
“You don’t know what I was going to ask,” Clark said with a hint of a smile. “Maybe I just wanted to congratulate you on catching the Film Freak.”
Bruce gave him a flat look.
“Or maybe I think I can help.”
“With a case of vandalism?”
Clark stepped in front of him. “It’s not vandalism and you know it, detective.”
“And what makes you say that?”
“If it were vandalism it would be something a lot more juvenile. To the point. It wouldn’t claim there were seventeen missing kids. That’s public outcry.”
“Is that so?”
“That and I tried to do a story on the growing number of homeless children last month and I got shut down. According to the last count, the numbers have been decreasing, but there’s been no change in policies, no extra funding to CPS, or shelters, or even an increase in the number of inmates in the juvenile detention center. So where are they going?”
Detective Bruce Wayne may have the highest solve rate in Gotham, but if he wants to solve this case, he’ll need the help of an elusive street kid, and while Dick Grayson always lands on his feet, he usually lands himself right into trouble.

Summary
“Dick,” the therapist said seriously. “Why are you here?”
Dick floundered, searching for words that wouldn’t come. “I…” He thought of Catalina’s hands washing soap from his body, massaging his back, feeding him sweet strawberries one by one. “I… I had a girlfriend.”
It doesn’t matter if Dick always feels Catalina's hand on the back of his neck, or her breath ghosting against his lips. He needs Nightwing. He needs to do good. How else will he counterbalance the sin weighing on his soul? So he’ll lie to his brothers, to Bruce, to Alfred. He’ll even lie to his reflection in the mirror. Because he knows that he'll be alright eventually. He'll be fine.
He'll be totally okay.

Summary
Dick Grayson's been having a crappy week. Scratch that, he was having an absolutely horrible week.
But when family and duty calls, he can't be the one to decline. When Bruce and Tim and Jason and Damian are all yelling at each other and getting snippy, he knows he's the one who has to step in. When people need a shoulder, a spare ear, somebody to take their anger out on, it's always him, though the favor is seldom returned. Over and over and over again.
(Aka: Dick Grayson has Eldest Daughter Syndrome and is awfully close to his limit)

Summary
Dick Grayson is sure he is going crazy. Sure, everyone grieves in their own way, but he is pretty sure randomly seeing your dead best friend is not proof of his sanity. That and not to mention the awful ringing in his ears that usually accompanied these sightings.
Dick has decided that he doesn't need to bother any of his grieving friends about this unless it becomes a bigger problem, especially Artemis. So, Dick does what he always does: he puts on a smile and tries to seem as okay as possible.
The problem is that the episodes are only getting worse, and it has started affecting his ability to handle everyday life.
*All chapters are updated versions!*

Summary
“Sorry, babe,” Keith says. He even smiles, no doubt proud of himself.
And Lance knows it’s his fault. He started it, after all, but at least the biting term of endearment made sense when he was the one doing it. Keith had been talking to him like they were some old married couple. The kind who’ve been married too long and don’t love each other anymore and gripe over meaningless shit, only managing to piss each other off even further.
That’s why Lance called him dear. Because it made sense in the situation. It was a calculated insult. A strategic jab.
Keith, on the other hand, is weaponizing the term of endearment without any rhyme or reason, simply to get back at Lance.
Or: Keith and Lance have gotten into the habit of using pet names as condescending insults. They're not really terms of endearment.

Summary
“You really wanna kiss me, Kogane?” Lance asks, suddenly serious. His fingers twitch anxiously and his teeth gnaw at his bottom lip.
Keith looks at him through the screen, right into his blue-brown eyes. (He can never tell what color Lance’s eyes are--they always seem to be shifting and changing in the light, just like the inside of a kaleidoscope.) “Yeah,” He breathes. “Yeah. You just said you wanted to make me a mixtape in a declaration of your love to me. I want to kiss you so hard right now.”

Summary
It’s a matter of seconds.
Blue against purple, a collision so violent that it makes him feel giddy.
Lance moves his attention to his thick eyebrows, furrowed and hidden by rebellious locks of raven hair that end just above his shoulders – is that a mullet?!He clears his throat, flaunts a smile and grabs Keith's hand, shaking it almost too enthusiastically. “Pleased to meet you, I'm Lance, but you can call me McWonderfulClain!”
Keith shoots him a puzzled look. “… I'll stick with Lance.”
or
Keith is a pianist haunted by dark thoughts and an even darker past. He attends Altea's Music Academy, but has never performed in public before, until his brother Shiro, a piano teacher, decides to promote the school with concerts at the Paladin's, the trendiest pub in town. His colleagues, Pidge and Hunk, are excited about this: he can finally meet their best friend, Lance!
The first time they meet... doesn't go very well. (Neither the second, nor the third...)
So, of course, no one expects Keith and Lance to fall in love at first sight. Not even them.
(They also dance Single Ladies together. You're welcome!)

Summary
Osamu wasn’t an idiot, despite what Atsumu said about him. He kept his head down, minded his own business, and stayed out of trouble.
Except every now and then when he crawled out of their bedroom window to spend a night sneaking around town, because some things were worth the risk - and so was one person in particular.
~~~~~
“You don’t have to stay,” said Suna. He said it quietly, the way he talked to Osamu when they exchanged private words in the locker room or between classes or when they walked home from school. “It’s okay.”Osamu’s shoes scuffed against the concrete as he sank down to sit cross-legged beside the flashlight. He pushed his hood off, to get some air on the back of his neck, and said, “I’m stayin’.”

Summary
"It's customary for a captain to go down with the ship, isn't it?"
Rintarou was right, Osamu thought with a frantic heartbeat. He pushed up — past the gentle press of Rintarou's hand — and fumbled to grab the knife from his belt. It wasn't there, he—
Osamu was knocked back to his senses by a slap to the face. Rintarou stared down at him with his green eyes wide, brows scrunched together in deep carved concern.
"None of that. I'll never get the bloodstains out of my bed if you kill yourself in it."
After losing his own ship, Miya Osamu joins the mysterious Captain Rintarou's crew.
