Summary
Jason didn’t know when it started. If he thought about it, he remembered the bright light that surrounded his mom in her last days. After that, he noticed the way some people lit up, outlined in a growing brightness that emitted from the edges of their beings. The brighter the individual, the closer they were to death.
At the parties that Bruce insisted on dragging him to, he expected the dim light from the tired old businessmen who drank too much and were limping closer to their ends, glowing a little more every time Jason saw them.
What he did not expect was for the 12-year-old neighbor kid to light up like a damn Christmas tree the second Jason laid his eyes on him.

Summary
“So, I've got this question,” Tony says when he walks into the Avengers' living room this morning, “and feel free to ignore me if, y'know, I'm talking crazy here, but have any of you spontaneously burst into song lately?”
There is a moment of total silence. Then Natasha curses in Russian and Clint bursts out with “I knew there was something off with those back-up singers!” Steve says nothing, but he blushes, and Thor claims that he noticed nothing out of the ordinary, as he tends to spontaneously burst into song anyway.
Or, the one where New York falls under a musical spell and that is not nearly as much fun as it sounds like.

Summary
When your soulmate dies, you burn them flowers.
Historians weren't sure exactly where the tradition started or why it became such a common phenomenon even across cultures. Sure, different countries had different ways of burning their soulmates flowers, but all of them held that same tradition. Most only burned them once, a final goodbye or a promise to meet next time when they couldn't in this life. For the more dedicated lovers, one might see a monthly burning.
Duke buys flowers for his soulmate everyday. If they could just stop dying then maybe Duke's allowance wouldn't go towards his local flower shop every week. However, his soulmate has a bad habit of dying at least once a day and then coming back. So, Duke keeps buying his soulmate flowers.
It's only proper after all.
