Summary
“Give me your hand.”
He paused for 7.32 seconds, which was long enough for me to start reevaluating every life choice that led to me ending up here, in this room, awkwardly holding a bottle of nail polish while trying to act calm and reassuring.
But then – just when the silence was getting genuinely excruciating – he slowly uncrossed his arms and placed his left hand on the table between us.

Summary
For this genius prompt: Matt, as Matt, saves the Avengers in a profoundly simple way when their tech and sight (via removal of light sources) is compromised. It's not complicated and absurdly simple yet everyone acts like he saved the world. The newspapers won't shut up about it but by at least they have more clientele.
a.k.a. Matt and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news cycle.

Summary
“What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”
And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.
“I want to go to college.”
And Talia had made that happen for him.
(AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

Summary
“You’re shitting me!” Daniel looks positively gleeful.
“I am not.”
“This is awesome. Fucking Florida.”
“Mm. We should go there in the summer. Revisit our island,” Armand suggests romantically.
“Yeah, sounds great, babe. Milan, 1641—”
“I think I’ve just isolated the root cause of your two divorces.”
“Ha-ha, nice try, asshole, we both know it was you. So anyway, Milan.”
“Milan,” Armand sighs his surrender, though does not stop the light smile from curling up in the corners of his lips.
Or: freshly retired from journalism (and life), Daniel needs enrichment; Armand lovingly puts up with the results.
