    Summary

    Before the fights and the couples’ therapy and the slow, inevitable drift. Before the night he came home from work to find Marina on the sofa, pale and drawn, already knowing every word that was about to come out of her mouth (because the words were already on his tongue, weren’t they?). Before the thousands spent on divorce lawyers and moving into the sad flat Anthony found for him and having to tell the fucking kids (worst bit – Oliver had gotten so quiet and Amanda had cried silently; wouldn’t let either of them touch her).

    He could have gotten out of it. Ben had called him and said we can find someone else in a way that made it very clear they probably couldn’t, and Colin being Colin (reliable; helpful – a dope, maybe), had said no, no, I’ll do it.

    Which is how he ends up in Bari, parked in a service station in a cramped hire car; forty-five; divorced; and about to embark on a two-week trip across Italy he had booked in an attempt to save his marriage. Without, you know, his wife.
    .

    OR: post-divorce, Colin Bridgerton takes his friend Penelope on a road trip to Italy

    Summary

    After a failed attempt at living in Kansas, Kon-El is living alone in the Justice Cave with only a mattress and twenty cents to his name. That's completely fine in his books, and handouts from Robin are not appreciated in the slightest.

    Thankfully for a concerned Robin, Tim Drake has plenty of money to help fund the young superhero in a completely innocent, platonic manner. He just needed to capture Superboy's attention for long enough to load him up with cash before the Kryptonian inevitably got bored.

    It does not stay innocent or platonic for long, and Kon is far more interested than Tim could have imagined.

    Summary

    Frankenstein made his monster using the parts of stolen corpses. Lex Luthor made his with the stolen blood of Superman. Superboy, despite being very new to existence, isn’t sure that’s any better, even if Superman rescued him only a few weeks after his creation.

    Except Kon’s rescue wasn’t a coincidence, and neither were the other spontaneous events changing the lives of superheroes all over the world. Kon might care more about growing up than the fate of the world, but fate will latch itself onto him whether he likes it or not.

    Summary

    “The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”

    “Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

    Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

    “You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

    “You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

    “No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

    Jason bluescreened.

     

    (Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)
