Summary
This…this was different, though, than most of the other leads he’d followed.
His mother, or Peter, or even his own idealized planning and endless expectations.
There was kindness in this, leaking out through every crack in the faux stoicism. There was a softness, a care, that he’d only ever seen the edges of, up until the night before the Unknowing. Here, now, it was on full display, just barely sheened over with the resolute determination Jon always took on when he had his mind set to something. For now, leading them. Home.
Home.
Hm.
It struck him, not for the first time - he’d…he’d probably follow Jon anywhere, actually, with no questions asked. Probably wouldn’t even bitch about it too, too much. Ha.
Maybe he’d ask questions later, sure, once their breathing calmed and the running had stopped, but…he’d follow. Without a doubt.
…Case in point.OR
Jon and Martin escape the Lonely. Martin...doesn't quite remember what happened, immediately following. Jon needs to explain it to him, in all the gory, heartbreaking, emotionally volatile details.

Summary
“Sure,” Georgie says, still laughing at him. At least someone is having fun. “Don’t you have assistants for that kind of thing?”
“Yes, but…” He huffs, scratching the back of his neck. “I wasn’t going to ask one of them to download an app called...Lover? Lov-rrr? I don’t know how you say it.” He flaps his hands dismissively. “There are--unions and such. It wouldn’t be appropriate.”

jon makes a fake account on a dating app to investigate a statement. tim sets martin up with fake account on a dating app to boost his self-confidence. it goes exactly how you might expect.

Summary
Peter and Elias adopt a fifteen-year-old Martin. It goes as well as you’d expect.
It sounds like he’s reading from a brochure, Martin thinks fleetingly, vaguely amused. These men – his new parents – do not seem like they know what they are doing.
“Peter,” Elias says dangerously. “Place in the family. Reaffirming.”
(Taking a last long look at the employee contract in his hand, Martin sighs. “Dad is so going to divorce you for this” He signs the papers with a sense of inevitability.)

Summary
Peter adopts Martin as a child and Martin becomes part of the Lukas family. It is far from a perfect family and Peter far from a perfect father. But Martin's life turns much better than the one he has led before, not least thanks to his new cousin Evan, the family's black sheep.
Together they grow up under the protective embrace of The Lonely as their paths will inevitably diverge and they both learn what it means to be a Lukas.Bookmarked by ghoste_parade

Summary
“Come on, boss,” Tim says. “You’re going to have to help us out here. If it’s really you, give us a meow?”
Jon hates all his assistants. Every single one of them. But, on balance, he supposes it’s best if they are cognisant of the whole situation, so he reluctantly opens his mouth and gives his crossest, least friendly meow.
*
Or, when Jon reads a Leitner and is turned into a cat, Martin is the only one who can take him home overnight. And, to top things off, it’s a Friday, so they’re going to have to spend the whole weekend together.
Surely things can only go downhill from here.

Summary
He could see it, the moment when Jonathan started to genuinely get suspicious - or perhaps it was worry. He stiffened, his face losing a bit of its colour, and he whispered “alone” in a soft, incredulous voice before gazing back at Martin, careful and piercing.
“You’re not a Lukas,” he said again with a frown.
“I work with them.”
(Martin Blackwood gave himself to the Lonely. He's content about it too. It's why it seems unfair that fate keeps pushing him back towards the Eye, the Archives... and more specifically, towards its Archivist.)

Summary
"This is my side of town, ya know?"
Dick squinted. “Jason?” His voice came out cautious, like he didn’t quite trust it. “You’re… older.”
He sighed. “Alright, I guess.”
Jason tilted his head. “That’s it? You don’t care that I’m here?”
Dick shrugged, still watching the alley below. “Well, I’m kind of on the job, so it isn’t the best time to break down.”
Jason blinked.“Can we like… delay this?” Dick added, his voice dry. “Show up in my kitchen while I’m eating cheese out of my opened fridge?”
Or Dick thinks he's hallucinating a very real Jason and invites the "hallucination" home. Jason thinks his brother is being freakishly calm, but hey, he's being accepted as he is so he doesn't care.

Summary
"Oh." Nightwing said. "It's your first time."
"My what?" Jason said.
"It's like 'The Time Traveler's Wife.' Except I'm not your wife. Not that I'd be a bad wife, but not for you. That'd be gross - Wait, is that movie even out, yet?" Nightwing rambled, and Jason stood up on wobbly legs. "Shoot. I guess it doesn't matter. Not relevant -"
Or Jason Todd is a time traveler, and Dick Grayson is always his destination.
A story about brothers doing their best.

Summary
After the battle at the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka is captured by Zhao.
It's not incredibly ideal, however, he reckoned he could escape if given the right motivation. Most of which is provided by his cellmate, Prince Zuko, the boy they've been fearing for months. The Fire Prince who has spent the last few months of Sokka's life miserable, trying to keep him, his sister and the all-powerful twelve year old boy alive. It's his rotten luck to be locked up with Zuko, he's only going to foil his plans wherever they go.
At least, that's what Sokka thought.
The thing about war is, the smoke rises so high, so thick, things aren't as clear as they once were. Sokka believed all Fire Nation was evil, that it was only capable to destroy. All he saw when he looked at the Fire Nation was the fire in their eyes. But what could possibly happen when he starts to feel the fire in the heart of one, golden-eyed boy, who is more than he appears?
Sokka's got a lot of learning to do, as does Zuko. Slowly, they're finding that as long as they're together, they might be able to take on anything.

Summary
After S, Reki mopes, gets an ear piercing, accidentally adopts a small army of children, and wonders why Langa stares at him in class all the time.
---
"But Reki finds that the world agrees with him like this; that maybe he is still a favored son of Okinawa. He might not burn as brightly, not soar as high, but he’s still part of something beautiful. With every push against the pavement, every grind, every gravity defying leap into the air, he redefines and transforms the world around him."
---
Or: Reki Kyan learns to be loved.

Summary
It's not that he forgot to tell them; Zuko simply thought everyone knew about how he got his scar. It's not something he likes to talk about, but he would have done it for them. He should have, given how they're reacting now.
The Gaang finds out about Zuko's scar, but not from the man himself.
