Summary
Last year a stupid kid, twelve years old, had Volunteered on a dare, and the year before that Claudius the Baby Killer had shamed the other districts for not volunteering for all the twelve-year-olds that had ‘coincidentally’ gotten Reaped.
None of those things were Robin’s fault, but, well, a little thing like that had never stopped the Capitol.
On the year of the 69th Hunger Games, the Capitol mandates that there will be no volunteers from District 2. But Robin is a survivor -- and dying is never an honour, no matter what Brutus says.
(Or: a Self-Insert into Panem.)

Summary
“Oh, you’re very early. Very early indeed,” it looked at my eyes (and it was very distinctly at, not into) searchingly. “Look at your eyes! You’re practically in the nursery.”
I don't know why I decided to start writing this, other than the fact that my future self has one, and if I didn't I'd probably create a temporal paradox that annihilated the universe, or something. I get a lot of that.
This is the story of me; the first version, at least. The first year in a world that shouldn’t exist, the first year in a story I’ve already seen before. Who am I kidding? This is my story, now.
This is the story of the first time I met the Doctor, in the flesh. It was in no way the first time they met me.

Summary
You squint through the rain at an advancing shadow. It has soaked through so far you think it must be down to the bone, by now. Your limbs are stiff and your jaw clatters.
The shadow forms the shape of a man. You laugh, weak and more than half hysterical. It has been so long since you’ve seen anything but trees and squirrels, you could’ve jumped up and kissed him. He’d even brought an umbrella.
(Or: a self-insert into the Hunger Games, District Two.)

Summary
Maybe claiming legal guardianship over a child at 22, and so soon after becoming Batman, spread Bruce thinner than he'd realized. Maybe Bruce was less equipped to parent a third grader than he'd thought. Maybe Bruce should do more to invite Dick into his life.
Maybe Bruce should hug Dick, or promise he'll do better by Dick, or tell Dick that he loves Dick more than he thought himself capable.
(or: bruce and dick practice self care together.)

Summary
No matter how hard you tried, you could not recall a single moment from before Constantine found you. At first, there was nothing. Then, there was everything. There was pain, and there was suffering, and there was an overwhelming feeling of something being wrong, of something being missing, of something being added. All you knew for sure was that you were in your late teens, had been irrevocably changed in a manner that made you unrecognisable, and all you had was the strange scouser who said he could help you.
Well, he certainly beats the dungeon you had been kept in.
Or;
The trials and tribulations of a teenager pining for something that will never be again.

Summary
Damian pulls out his phone and dials Richard’s number- his chauffeur has been unfortunately painstakingly instructed to answer no calls whatsoever from Damian, and Alfred has begun to pretend that phones do not exist during school hours. Unsurprisingly, as it is eight in the morning, it goes to voicemail. Damian waits impatiently for the beep. “Richard,” he says, in tones of the deeply suffering, “this place is a hostile environment. I must be collected post-haste, as after this latest indignity I am dropping out. Come at once, or I may die here.”
The dynamic duo attend a parent-teacher conference. No one has a good day.
