    Summary

    “Beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the contrary. Genuine beauty is always quite alarming.”
    Donna Tartt, The Secret History

     

    Or

     

    An increase of gang behaviour in Makochi, seems to be linked to a string of missing persons cases. The police in town seemed to be utterly stumped by these impossible disappearances, but Furin are determined to keep their town and the people in it safe, just as they’ve always vowed to do so.

    But the closer they come to solving the disappearances, the more personal the threats to them seem to get.

    Which begs the questions:

    How far are they willing to go in the name of justice?

    And

    When does seeking justice really turn into an excuse for revenge?

    Summary

    Clover is dead. Qrow struggles to accept this while helping his family and Mantle in their darkest hour, determined not to mess things up this time. He’s doing his best.

    Clover is *also* pretty sure he's dead. Waking up in a hospital room challenges this idea and everything else he's accepted to this point. But his efforts to fix things rapidly go sideways. Turn Grimm, even.

    Salem is not dead. She's going to break Atlas, and no one, no group, no mutually pining set of idiots is going to stop her. Probably. Right?

    Summary

    Tim often experiences ‘silent’ migraines where he loses vision in his right eye. He has never felt the need to bring it up to the Bats, partially out of fear that they would permanently bench him if they found out. Besides- he manages just fine. Until one day one of his brothers notices he can’t actually see.

    Summary

    (The boy had just lied to Batman. The city had never seen a Robin so easily, so nonchalantly lie to their father figure.

    And the boy had lied for the sake of Crime Alley. Not to protect it, but to learn about it.)

     

    (Gotham trusted him a little more after that. They liked that the boy wasn’t a yes-man to the good, yet inherently biased bat. They liked that Robin was his own person.

     

    That Robin was a good person.)

    ...

    Or: Tim learned as much as he could in order to be the best Robin he could be.

    People notice this, and love him for it.

    Gotham loves him for it.
