Summary
Hal has a plan. That plan is definitely suicidal- confronting a Kryptonian generally is, and doing it effectively unarmed on their home turf is even more of a bad idea.
But it's the only plan he has, and Superman's done enough damage to the people of Earth already.

Summary
Barry is waiting in the entryway of their house when Hal gets home, still dressed in the same pajamas he’d been wearing this morning.
“The aliens are hiring tomorrow.” he informs Hal. “Be there. You’ll look better in green than brown.”
“The aliens are hiring, got it.” Hal placates, used to his husband’s oddness. “Anything else?”
“We’re out of spicy ramen.” Without another word, Barry turns and walks back up the stairs.
Barry had been perfectly normal up until his lab accident four years ago, but the accident changed that. Despite being largely unharmed physically, mentally he lives in his own dream world that is only somewhat grounded in the real world.
There’s no medical grounds to institutionalize him- he’s 28, he can take care of himself, he has no other chronic health conditions and he’s not a risk to himself or others, just…weird.

Summary
Barry hates the Justice League interrogation rooms. They’re always so chilly, and the seats are cheap plastic seemingly manufactured from backaches.
It’s even worse when they’re on the prisoner’s side, in the prisoner’s cuffs, and the most anyone has done to tell them why they’re here is hand them a blood-covered knife, tell them to examine their guilt, then leave them there for three hours(as far as they can tell).
“So, let’s go over the facts. Batman is dead, because someone was able to identify a seam in his neck armor, and stabbed a seven-inch knife into his throat, all before he could throw the batarang in his hand.” Superman lists off. “The knife in question is identical to one which I have seen you, Flash, holding several times. It has your fingerprints on it. You do realize which way the evidence is pointing, right?”
Barry remains impassive. “Diana showed me the knife. It’s a Cold Steel Recon Scout, not a custom one-of-a-kind knife. They make them in factory quantities, and sell them to the general public- literally anyone could have bought one if they have five hundred dollars spare. I hardly see how that’s hard evidence.”

Summary
Hal comes back from space, Barry makes hot chocolate for him like he always does, and absolutely nothing goes wrong. In fact, everything goes to plan.
(That's it. There is absolutely nothing else going on. Totally.)
(In other news, the Speed Force of Earth-16 is asleep.) -

Summary
“…Why are you trying to rob a bookstore at 9:30 in the morning?” Barry can’t help but ask. “I mean, I sympathize with your clear financial hardships, but I’m not quite sure why you thought I’d have anything more than loose change. We haven’t had any sales yet.”

The Emerald Empire by Ikibli (lightning_child)
Fandom Batman - All Media Types, DCU, Green Lantern (Comics), Green Lantern - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types, The Flash (Comics), The Flash - All Media Types
01 Sep 2024
Summary
It has been thirty-four centuries since the High Emperor and High Empress(may they reign forevermore) ascended their thrones, destroying Terra’s old and backwards nations with a single pronouncement and raising them into a glorious interstellar empire under the wise and venerable guidance of the Imperial Council and its associated Ministries. In that time, the Emerald Empire has prospered, with its citizens, culture and holdings flourishing and-
Okay, let’s cut the propaganda. The Ministers spend more time messing around, arguing with each other and pursuing pet projects than actually running their Ministries, the High Empress spends more time vetoing the Council’s stupider ideas and reigning in the High Emperor than actually ruling the Empire, the Subministries are full of nepotism and cutthroat politics, the common citizen is fully aware that they’re either constantly being spied upon or completely forgotten about by the Empire as a whole and the Empire is constantly at war.

Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

Summary
Their species was never called 'Kwami', they were trapped.
Stuck in a goddamned box like some delicate jewellery needing protection.
Enslaved to the whims of humanity. The finest scum on earth, so... Why haven't they escaped just yet?
Because they were silenced? Because they lost hope? Because they fear no longer having a physical form? Why? Well, a kind girl had saved them without even realising what she truly did. She freed them of the chains that bind them...
