Summary
Anakin Falls on the battlefield, on a small dusty planet in the Mid Rim that’s largely unimportant in the grand scale of the war. His men are dying in scores around him, screaming, spilling their guts onto the pockmarked ground, and something that has been pulling tighter and tighter over the course of the war, over the course of his whole life—between one decapitated droid and the next, something snaps in his chest. He doesn't know it, but he's more than a year early.
Or: Anakin navigates the path from straight up not noticing, to denial, to buying a pair of ugly sunglasses to hide his unfortunate Darksider eye condition, to a number of Sith lords dying in uniquely creative ways. If he reaches acceptance, it just might save the galaxy.

Summary
Six months into his Titans tenure, Cyborg's first solo hostage situation gets complicated.
"...the teenager laying on the beige-tiled floor to the right finally glances back over his outstretched arm, dark glasses sliding slightly down their nose as blue eyes widen over the rims. Cyborg's own mismatched eyes widen in response because oh-shit-wait-that's-Robin."

Summary
Tucker is psychic and doesn't want to be, Sam is an occultist who doesn't believe in the occult, and the new kid is maybe-possibly-probably dead. And as if that weren't enough, there's a serial killer stalking Amity Park. Hold onto your berets, readers: this is going to be a weird one.

Summary
"Batman fights in two dimensions. In his twenties, maybe the long-distance ninja-style leaping tackles served him well, but soon he started accumulating too much scar tissue. Heavier armor equals less upward mobility (which is an ironic phrase to use about a billionaire). Nowadays he mostly fights forward and sideways. It’s clever and clinical, but it’s not inspired. Really the main word that comes to mind is “relentless.”
"Robin fights on all three axes, X, Y, and Z. Dick’s never been able to separate the idea of impossible acrobatics from imaginary numbers. The problem is that sometimes he goes up and up and sideways and forgets which way the ground is, and then Gravity catches him again like an old ornery maiden aunt, even though he was almost sure that this time, finally, he’d left her behind him."
Short piece comparing and contrasting Dick and Bruce based on advantages and drawbacks of their armor and battle tactics. I just thought it was interesting :)

Summary
Permanent Guardianship of a Minor, somewhat unlike adoption, is a legal condition that usually only lasts so long as the person being guarded is, in fact, a minor. Dick turns eighteen with the Titans, so Bruce's legal guardianship expires while they're on bad terms and opposite sides of the continent. On a totally unrelated note, minimum drinking age in the U.S. is unreasonably high and four out of five Titans don't recommend father figures.

Uncle Iroh somehow convinces Zuko that participating in a small music festival will improve low morale. Not that far away, a bald monk makes a similar argument.

Summary
Zuko just wanted to take a breather after a stressful political summit in the Earth Kingdom. Unfortunately, some passerby with good eyesight spotted him entering an apartment through the door as Li and leaving through the window as the Blue Spirit, right before he left for the Fire Nation. The Earth Kingdom puts two and two together and, appropriately, gets four: the Blue Spirit has kidnapped Li, and presumably the other Fire Nation refugees who have been disappearing across Ba Sing Se. They must save Li and bring the Blue Spirit to justice!
Unwilling to reveal himself as either the Blue Spirit, wanted in both the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom for treason and petty larceny, or Li, who'll draw attention to his uncle's teahouse, Zuko does the next most reasonable thing: he panics.
Meanwhile, Mai, Suki, and Toph are busy investigating who's really at fault for the disappearances of these refugees, King Kuei has realized he can get away with some truly ridiculous antics as king, and the newspapers are getting suspicious of how protective Fire Lord Zuko is of these two random people he apparently picked up in Ba Sing Se. What's up with that, anyway?

Summary
Sheppard and his team, plus Torren, are stuck on Earth during a vacation. Luckily (not very luckily at all, if you ask John) Sheppard's brother Dave has a place to stay.
Instead of a quiet but awkward weekend at the Sheppard estate, John and Dave find themselves embroiled in corporate politics, mad scientists, nosy FBI agents, and get themselves into more than a little trouble. Sheppard is not as good at fitting in on Earth as he used to be. And Dave is not quite sure what to make of his brother and his strange friends...
