Grief.
Personal grief."When your father dies, say the Coruscanti, you are left clutching a star map for a different galaxy.
When your father dies, say the Naboo, he takes your childhood with him into dark water.
When your father dies, say the slaves of Tatooine, the suns shift forever in the sky.
When your father dies, say the Alderaanians, he comes back as a mountain. May you have the strength to carry him."

Summary
Not every companion agrees with the Doctor's mostly pacifist ways. If you have human companions you're bound to pick up one that would rather punch the dicktators of space than be nice to them.
Inspired by the urge I get to punch the villains and assholes of Doctor Who instead of letting the Doctor do the sensible thing.

Summary
Bruce didn’t even protest at the swearing, or the tone. He just swallowed and glanced at the figure behind him before turning back around. The voice he used, soft and broken, was unlike anything Jason had ever heard.
“This,” he said, looking back at Jason, “is Thomas Wayne.”
Bruce breathed in deeply before continuing.
“My father.”
~ Bruce convinces Thomas to come with him during the Button storyline. Jason meets his grandfather.

Summary
“You finally climb outta the Professor’s office?”
“I have,” Logan says. His boots drag when he takes a step towards her, hesitant. She peels a segment of orange away from the whole and eats it. When she looks again he’s crossed half the distance between them. His eyes look wet.
“Logan?”
“I went somewhere,” he says, “from--from somewhere else.”
Rogue blinks at him. “What? Are you okay?”
“Now I’m here,” he says, hoarse. “Everything is…. different.”
Rogue feels her eyebrows rise. “Different from… yesterday?”
Rogue-centric playing in the sandbox of the xmen movie verse. Not canon compliant.

Really, very good.
Look into author.
Fucking beautiful.
Rogue relaxes herself suddenly, melting against the back of the chair. “Then it’s all rather redundant, isn’t it?” Her words come out edged in harsh European consonants. She takes a deep calming breath and calls the South back to her voice, thick drawl that smoothes out the ends of all her verbs.
______
"Rogue is in a plush stuffed chair, curled up with her legs beneath her, warm lighting falling across the pages of her book. She stands and moves within the invisible pentacle of her own virginity. She is an unbroken egg: she is a sealed vessel; she has inside her a magic space the entrance to which is shut tight with a plug of membrane; she is a closed system; she does not know how to shiver. The pages make paper whisper noises against her fingers.“I would have built you a library,” Logan says. Rogue tucks a scrap of paper to mark her place and looks up. He walks through a row towards her, his eyes on the books. His hand trails on the spines. “A three room cabin darlin’--and one would have been a little place for you to read.” He smiles a little, but it’s sad and faraway. “A three room cabin in Alaska.”

Summary
“It was you, wasn’t it? The snake…”
“And that pathetic wretch of a man who visited you at your family’s home.” He forces Harry to turn his head, to meet his gleeful gaze. “And the shadow out of the corner of your eye when you thought yourself alone. Yes, Harry, I was there.”
“How?” he demands, bravado not quite masking fear.
And Voldemort laughs again, an edge of madness to the sound. “Oh, you lucky little idiot. You have no idea what you’ve done.”
Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover a spell. They decide to perform it, and no one is pleased with the result.

Summary
Though Stephen and Amatis Herondale were nothing like them, echoes of London and long dead loved ones reverberated through Zachariah’s mind as the day wore on.
In Stephen’s careful blankness he saw Cordelia, though his cousin had been filled with exhaustion and hurt, not blinded by bigotry and misguided ideals.
James had been similar to Amatis; hidden tears and unbridled pain.
On a cold day in 1990, Brother Zachariah begins the process that ends Stephen and Amatis’s marriage. It's not the first Herondale divorce he's overseen.

Summary
Three pulls away, wiping his eyes on a gloved hand. He sniffs, wraps his other arm around Peter’s shoulders, and pulls them back together. Peter hopes that somebody’s there to do this for Three at least every now and then—to find him when he needs to be found, to give him a shoulder to cry on. He’s not sure that anybody actually is. He’s not sure that it’s anybody’s fault.
He looks down at the grave.

This is everything I have ever wanted.
It deals with the absolutely heartbreaking complexity of being a clone, of being a son, of being a brother and of being a soldier.There is also some really good Leia and Boba bonding that i didn’t even know I needed.

Bookmarker's Notes
Plenty of fascinating ideas i can incorporate into a story about Jason. I like this way of Storytelling.
“A twist off,” Jason says, disgusted. Who taught him, Bruce wonders. Who gave him this before unknown appreciation of alcohol. Another thing Bruce missed in his life, another small tick in the column of the ways Bruce let him down.
“Get in line,” Jason snipes, but it’s without the undercurrent of rage that colours most of his interactions. He likes Kate, Bruce knows, without any of the messiness that sours his liking for any other cape in Gotham. Kate is kind enough not to rub it in too much. Jason offers her the beer and Kate snorts.
It was Martha Kent. She’d had Dick over for two nights, took Dick on a hay bale ride, patiently answered every question he had about the facts of life, then called Bruce on his private line and read him the riot act of how raising children meaning not passing on the hard shit. He’d been considering falling on a sword of pathetic pleading and sending Jason out to Kansas, but the Joker’s crowbar intercepted those plans. “I outsourced. Let’s go home.”
“Never,” Dick promises, made cheerful by the opportunity to mock him. “Jason had the article framed. It’s hanging above his fireplace. Well. On the burned out wall a fireplace might be in a real house.”
Which means Dick makes regular visits to Jason’s house. Bruce decides it’s not a priority. At least they’re united against something, even if that something is his dignity. “We’re patrolling.” -

Summary
Right now, Damian is not Robin, and father is not Batman. They're dressed in black suits with gel in their hair and wearing ridiculously colourful ties that Grayson had picked out for them.
Damian is dying, there's no question about it. But as father leans down to place a hand across his pulse, counting the slowly depleting thumps of a heartbeat, his expression horrified, Damian realises he needs to tell his father that Jason Todd is alive. He must.
He absolutely can not die letting Bruce Wayne think he has lost two sons.
(Damian joins the family early, and harbours a secret he almost carries with him to the grave.)
