Summary
When she shuts her eyes, Miranda hears the terrible click of a gun misfiring and James’ wretched cry; smells the acrid gunpowder; feels the weight of the small paring knife leave her hand to embed itself in Peter Ashe’s eye. Then there is the awful aftermath. James’ equally surprised and horrified expression as he stares at her face, splattered with foreign blood— his slowly spreading manic grin and choked laugh upon realizing that she’s uninjured. The subsequent mad dash from the manor. If the last vestiges of Miranda’s old life were embers, they’d been used up after that.
Miranda survives the Charles Town confrontation with her belief in the possibility of reconciliation with Civilization shattered. The Walrus crew are still becalmed. The Maroons still agree to an alliance. The future impact of her presence and new outlook, however, remains to be seen.

Summary
Considering that Yautja are a carnivorous species, perhaps Jess should not be as surprised as she is by her partner's fascination with the scent of her blood— once he understands that she isn't injured. However, on Earth "period sex" still has certain connotations... But Ku'thar-Tlik doesn't know that. And he craves new experiences.

Summary
Don't ya know / They're talking about a revolution?
Although her relationship with John Silver started more positively, as they begin to work together more - including weathering the loss of Silver - Madi has gained appreciation for Captain Flint. He as for her too. She finds that he is much more aligned politically with her than previously believed.
'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
As the War continues, Madi never loses faith, but having a steadfast partner and fellow visionary by one's side never hurts moral, either.

Summary
The warning signs have all been / bright and garish / far too great in number to ignore.
Padmé, despite what certain political opponents may claim, is not a woman prone to naivete. Nor is she blindly optimistic. However, she does believe a better future for the galaxy is possible; it simply requires the right allies and a commitment to the grueling work. All that said, she is not unaware of the strain Anakin is under and how it seems to be pushing him closer and closer to some kind of psychological edge.
But I will walk down to the end / with you / if you will come all the way / down with me.
As always, Anakin does it all for Padmé.

WHERE THE BLACKBIRD SIGHS I LOOK AT YOU. by orpheusaki

Summary
Superman stops floating, feet landing softly on the ground, how polite of him. "Batman collapsed on the thirty seventh floor of the Oceans Hotel. Superman caught him falling out the window before he hit the ground."
God, Bruce really has to find a better way to escape buildings.
Superman is evidently not done bruising Bruce's pride, as he continues, face like stone but sounding almost amused, just a hint of a southern drawl following his words, "Bruce Wayne was brought into Gotham General Hospital about five minutes later by a rescue group who found him floating around in a basket in his underwear."
"You're joking," Bruce states, rather horrified.
(Battinson meets Superman.)

Summary
"Before," Clark asks, a glass of whiskey that has absolutely no effect on him whatsoever held loosely in his hands, "Why did you hate me?"
"Well," Bruce hums, downing the rest of his own glass in one sweep for an ounce of courage, "You killed my children."
(The day Zod attacks Metropolis, Bruce loses his kids.)

Summary
"Father. Do not panic. I have everything under control."
Bruce immediately begins to panic, because Damian should know his father would never panic, so whatever has happened, whatever Damian claims he has under control, is undoubtedly going to make Bruce panic. Like right now. He's panicking.
But just as Bruce pushes himself to sit up on the bed, with great difficulty due to the bandages across his stomach, eyes darting over Damian to find any injuries —
Thomas Wayne, age thirty, walks through his bedroom door.
(Or; a ten step guide of things not to do when you're sent to the past, by Bruce Wayne.)
