Dec 10: Media / "It was a dark and stormy night"
It was a dark and stormy night when I finally toppled off my plinth. Yeah, yeah, you’d think an ancient evil would manage a smoother awakening than that, but I got rusted to the screws. Go figure.

I need all the endings. I need endings 1-4. I need ending 5. I need a sixth ending where their governor modules are hacked and these two SecUnits get to send each other memes and talk about the weather and acknowledge each other to their hearts content

Summary
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)

Summary
An unknown spider-mutate helps a murder-convict escape from prison. The Avengers assemble. All with terribly inconvenient timing to recently dumped Tony Stark, who would much rather sit around in his bathrobe and feel sorry for himself. Instead, he needs to pull himself together enough to catch both the escaped convict and the Spider-Man, and figure out the truth behind the accusations.
Before he knows it, he is far, far more involved in this case than he ever expected to be.The convict’s name: May Parker.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Tony?”
He glances up. Steve is standing only a few feet away, glancing at the pile of Persian-rug-and-couch-cushions with a certain look in his eyes. Tony has no energy to think about exactly what look it is.
Steve looks at him, now. “What are you doing?”
“I think something rolled under the bookcase,” Tony says as he stubbornly piles more books on top of the coffee table.
“Something important?” Steve asks.
“I’ll put everything back later.”
“Tony,” Steve says, stepping closer. “Is it something important?”

Summary
“Listen, Jason,” Tim says frankly down the line, and Jason tenses at the use of his real name. That doesn’t happen. Not casually, at least. “I’m pretty sure I’m going to die, so I need you to stay on the line with me.”
Jason short-circuits for a beat, and then runs the words back. “What?”
Tim takes a deep breath, and it’s steady. “I’m going to die,” he repeats, “and I don’t want to be alone, so please stay on the line.”
