    Summary

    “Jason’s alive,” Bruce says, like Dick hasn’t just lost his own life.

    Alive, he says, like somehow Dick’s loss has driven Bruce into mania instead.

    Like the words Dick would have given anything to hear three years ago now prove comparable to the 100,000 lives blinked out and the thousands more choking down their last toxic breaths.

    “Come home.”

    Sometimes, grief is mourning someone who's come back to life, mourning the space they take up now, and the life reconstructed in their absence that you’re now forced to leave behind.

    And sometimes, it is mourning half a city at the same time.

    Summary

    “Don’t you dare tell me I don't know my own son’s face.” Familiar rage seethes at the base of his lungs. “Don’t you dare. Don’t you ever. I knew it against all reason. I knew it when it was impossible for it to be in front of me. I knew it faked and warped and desecrated and delusional and spitting mad. I knew it when it killed me to know it, to believe it to be true—”

    “Describe it,” Dick challenges.

    “I knew his face three years dead beneath a domino. I knew it as he carved a chunk of flesh from his own scalp and cursed my name…” His fingertips drift to a spot two inches behind his ear. Is that uneven texture the sign of a years-old scar, or just a tangle of hair?

    (Or: Jason and Bruce get bodyswapped. It takes two full days for anyone to point it out to them.)

    Summary

    “It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.” Or, in other words: Don’t ask questions if you don’t want to know the answer.

    The problem is simple: Lois Lane has never hesitated to ask a question in her life.
