Summary
“You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”
Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”
The rain continues falling.
(And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.
And Olruggio forgets.)
There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

Summary
In some tellings, Cain is described as biting Abel to death. Jason imagines what that first moment felt like, the one in which Cain realized his brother was no longer breathing. Did he stare down at the blood on his hands? Or did he reach for his brother’s face, forgetting himself, staining the side of his mouth with red? Was his first thought to pray to God to save him, before he recalled that God loved Abel more than he loved him? Did he try to shake his brother awake, did he bring his fingers into the open wound? Did he think, Oh, God, what have I done? What have I done?
In which Jason Todd reckons with the Cain complex, the fact of the father, and death, conceptually.

Summary
Robin is a hero. Tim becomes Robin. The hardest part, he thinks, is that he barely feels like a hero at all, and he’s not sure what he’s doing wrong. Day after day something in his chest will crack and itch, but he will not scratch it. He’ll be afraid of what’ll come spilling out if he does. He’ll wonder if it’s a speck of rot. One day they’ll be going over the rooftops, he and Dick, and Dick will crack a joke Tim doesn’t understand, and it’ll hit him that it’s likely something Jason would have understood immediately. Tim will glance over his shoulder and say, half-jokingly, It sort of feels like I’m chasing a ghost, and Dick will look at him like he’s already dead, like he has just realized Jason is dead all over again, and Tim won’t speak again for the rest of the night.
He wonders what it would be like to be missed like Jason is. He doesn’t think he’s ever been missed before.
In which Tim Drake ponders on what a hero isn't, and what a brother can be.

Summary
“I can’t stand it sometimes,” Katara says, shoulders tense, and the words begin flowing out of her like they’d been stuck in her throat this whole time. “How he thinks violence is unreasonable. How he says it makes us no better than them. Violence is the only language they speak. They won’t look at me being good or kind or peaceful and think to themselves, hey, maybe we should be better people. Violence is what got them here and is what keeps them where they are. They don’t understand anything but violence, they won’t respond to anything else. We won’t win this war with a friendly talk or compromise.” She all but spits out the word. “If they wanted a different world, they should’ve created a better one.”
Zuko and Katara search for a murderer. Violence is a starting point and a destination.

Summary
“Yes,” Glinda calls out to the crowd, and her voice feels like it belongs to someone else, her entire body feels like it belongs to someone else. “The Wicked Witch of the West is dead.”
My friend, Elphaba, is dead. I loved her more than — I loved her like my head, like myself. She was killed and I did nothing to stop it. She was killed and I stood offstage, in the dark of the wings, and how much I loved her matters little now. My friend, Elphaba. My Elphaba.
Galinda Upland and the three rules of tragedy.

The Best Laid Plans of Robins by Aleena_Pallaz

Summary
Tim's dad is dead, killed by a boomerang to the chest, and Tim is an orphan now. He knows Bruce would adopt him if needed but he couldn't possibly impose himself on the Wayne's more than he already has. It's okay though, because he has a plan for this, he just needs someone to play the role of his estranged "Uncle Eddie".
Except... the guy he hires is weirdly concerned about his well being and Tim can't figure out why.
Meanwhile, Jason Todd is forced to reevaluate his plans for his debut as Red Hood, because, as it turns out, his replacement is a suicidal idiot who can't be trusted to stay out of trouble.
OR
Tim Drake fails to recognize Jason Todd, back from the dead, and hires him to be his Uncle Eddie to avoid getting adopted by Batman. Somehow this ruins everyone's plans.

Summary
The wind whips around, rapid, and sharp with sand and grit.
Tim can’t see—there’s so much dust trapped between his eyelids that he can hardly tell if they’re even closed or not. It burns and stings, it fills his lungs, and all he can think about is his body, buried under a new dune of sand, and his family, so many miles away, not even thinking to look for him there.And just as suddenly, the sun and sand and howling winds are gone.
-----
In which the universe takes pity on Tim, just once, if it even was the universe at all.

Summary
Merlin can’t remember the last time he’s locked his bedroom door, if ever. But he chooses not to think about it. He merely sulks his way back to his bed, taking a moment to contemplate taking off his trousers and tunic from the night before. He decides not to think about that either.
Instead, he decides not to think at all. He just falls back into his bed, covers up his body more so in shame than for warmth, and closes his eyes.
Basically Merlin is sexually assaulted and this story follows how he and everyone else deals with it.
Spoiler alert: THEY DON'T HANDLE IT WELL.
