Everywhere I Turn There's the Ghost of You by Nerd_by_Definition for Kishirokitsune

Summary
A dizzying tension seemed to fill Dick’s head the longer he stared, obscuring any semblance of a reasonable thought. None of it made sense: the bright red outfit where every other Shadow wore black, the way his sword looked both natural and out of place in his skilled hands, the fact that he seemed oddly…familiar.
Was he even real?
“Is that a sword in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?” The words slipped out before Dick could bite his tongue, and he found himself wishing the assassin would rethink his position on not killing him, if only to spare Dick any further humiliation. “That came out wrong…”
During a self-imposed sabbatical from the team, Dick encounters the strangest of mysteries in Gotham City involving the League of Shadows, a ninja dressed in Red, and a long-lost Robin he thought to be dead.

Summary
Dick knew it was dangerous. The list of every reason why it was a terrible idea flashed through his mind like a shrieking siren, but he still found himself taking Chance’s hand. Maybe just one more dance was all he needed to scratch that itch and be done with this. With him. For good, this time.

Summary
Like fathers, like sons, Tim sighed.
Wait. Fathers. Sons.“...Or maybe you two shouldn’t kiss. It’d be quite inappropriate, wouldn’t it?”
Payback never felt so sweet.
Dick tilted his head in confusion while Chance scowled at the interruption. “What do you mean, Robin?”
He painted on a face of innocence, waving to Bruce and Two-Face’s limping crawl in the distance. “I mean, they look pretty chummy over there. I know it’s been awhile, but didn’t they use to have a thing? I’m no expert, but it certainly looks like our dads could be reconnecting, if you know what I mean.”
Tim winked just to see the murderous glint in Chance’s eyes darken. Success.

Through the Wilderness by Traincat

Summary
“Now you are suitable – completely untouched. Pure as new snow. All that trapped fire, in more ways than one… The perfect sacrifice.”
Johnny’s face had gone bloodless, his mouth hanging open. It took Peter a second for the reason to catch up to him, busy as he was, but then it hit him like the proverbial freight train: he’d said it himself, after all. He made a poor sacrifice because he wasn’t a virgin.
Johnny, apparently, was.
--
An encounter with some cultists leads Peter to an interesting revelation about Johnny that he can't stop thinking about. Another encounter at Security College gives him something to do about it.

Summary
“I need you to do me a favor,” Johnny said.
“No,” Peter said.
“But you didn’t even hear what it is yet!” Johnny protested.
“And somehow I already know it’s going to be stupid,” Peter said. “Okay, fine, shoot. Tell me what it is and then I’ll say no.”
Johnny took a deep breath.
“I need you to come with me on my family’s holiday trip and pretend to be my boyfriend,” Johnny said.

Summary
“Does this new man even like you?” Darren said. “Or is this just the latest in a long line of cries for attention? I’d have thought Johnny Storm, back from the dead, would’ve kept you going for a few more months.”
“What?” Johnny said.
“I mean,” Darren said, shrugging with that kind of deceptive casualness Johnny recognized so well but had never been able to replicate. “This new boyfriend rumor’s everywhere, you’ve been snapped a couple times, but he’s never around you, he hasn’t met any of your friends. No one’s seen hide nor hair of him, and now this? He can’t even be bothered to make it to your birthday party?”
--
Months after his return from the Negative Zone, a surprise party awakens a host of old insecurities in Johnny.

Summary
“You have ten seconds to tell me what’s wrong,” Peter said, picking up the strangely bubbling beaker. His spider-sense stayed silent, thankfully, but his science-sense was giving him a headache.
“Aren’t you around kids?” Johnny said. “I shouldn’t be telling you this if you’re around kids.”
“Six… five... four…” Peter said.
“It’s just,” Johnny said breathlessly, “did you know that there are webcams on the Statue of Liberty now?”
Peter dropped the beaker.
