    Summary

    Peter Parker was not having a good year, but to his credit, he was trying. The weight of being Spider-Man in a city where every corner whispered memories that weren't really his anymore was a constant setback to his so-called "progress." He'd thought it would be a quiet morning, but his Parker Luck had other plans, landing him in... this place. Gotham wasn't exactly known for its hospitality toward outsiders, especially heroes whose themes didn't involve bats or birds.

    Summary

    The rain came down in thick, relentless sheets, drenching Tim to the bone long before he even reached the house. Wind howled through the trees, rattling the iron gate behind him, and each gust sent icy water running down the back of his neck. He could barely hear his own footsteps over the storm, but he didn’t need to—he knew where he was going.

    Wayne Manor loomed ahead, dark against the night sky, its towering silhouette broken only by the faint glow of a few scattered lights in the windows. The massive oak doors stood at the top of the stone steps, intimidating and unmoving, just as they had always been.

    He should have brought an umbrella. Anyone with half a brain would have.

    Tim Drake knows he’s not like Batman, or like the old Robins. He’s not supposed to be.
    But someone has to save Gotham, and someone has to remember why.
    Tim has always been good at carrying too much—this time, it might break him.

    Summary

    Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.

    “C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.

    The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.

    They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.

    Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.

    The elevator door closes.

    or

    Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

    Summary

    Colt is hiding something, Ryland is clueless, and Driver just wants that cookie so effing bad - or: a lot can happen during a three-day camping trip.

    "The moment Ryland met Casey could have been a scene in a cheesy romantic movie. One of the good ones, where the leads fall in love at first sight and just know that they've found the One even if they're too scared to admit it to themselves at first. That's how Ryland likes to fantasize about it, at least. And then he imagines the happily ever after that follows once the protagonists get over their insecurities, and a part of him knows that if he gets to kiss Casey, if he gets to feel that soft smile against his lips even once, it would break him to ever let go."

    Summary

    He really really should have realized it sooner.

    Maybe when the guy came up to him at the karaoke work party that Colt dragged him too as a plus one. But the bar had been full, and it’s not like everyone there was there for the party, they didn’t rent the space, they just showed up at the bar and made it their own. It could’ve been any old schmuck. It wasn’t, but it could’ve been.
