Summary
He’d begun talking to her. Sometimes he swore she understood, giving well-timed huffs and nods as if there was sentience behind those chestnut eyes. Perhaps there was. There must have been, considering she was down here. She had a soul that remained after death.
Eurylochus told her of his wife, his friends, his life. The one who had tried to stop him from killing her, he told her, was Odysseus, his brother in law—and nearly by blood, too, for all the time they’d spent together as children. He told her of kind Polites and his untimely death, how he had been the adhesive holding the crew together.
“I think that was where it started going wrong,” he said. His voice was an echo, and was not made up of words so much as thoughts and ideas now that he had no body to mould his sounds into more distinct shapes. “You would have loved him.” Darling laid her head across his lap, her ears slapping gently against his forearm. Eurylochus gave them a good scratch. “I did,” he said. “Everyone loved him.”
/////
Or: Eurylochus is dead. So is the cow he intended to eat.
They are each other's afterlife.

Summary
Penelope hates all the suitors. They are all so different from the kind and gentle husband she loves and from the sweet son she had raised. She hates the brutal and violent ones like Eurymachus, and the false and sycophantic ones like Amphinomus, because, in the end, they all represente the same thing: her love had not returned to her.
She held them all in equal disdain, until Antinous outshone them all.
He became her most persistent suitor, showering her with compliments and lingering longer than he should near the royal family.
But was it really her that the man wanted?
Or, the one where Penelope thinks Antinous is trying to win her over, when he’s just trying to make his future mother-in-law like him.

Summary
With a final wave, Ganyu turns to head back towards Yuehai Pavillion. Just as she begins to ascend the stone steps into the building, however, she hears the distinct sound of a loud splash. She turns around, perplexed, to see Aether standing in one of Yujing Terrace's ornamental ponds.
"Aether?" Ganyu calls, bewildered. "What are you—"
Aether turns around at the sound of her voice.
He is holding a fish in both hands.
Ganyu blinks once, and then twice, but the bizarre sight does not go away. Aether just blinks back at her with an equally puzzled expression.
Ganyu blinks a few more times.
"Aether," she says slowly. "Are you… catching fish with your bare hands?"
Aether does video game things while other characters watch with growing bewilderment.

“The usual,” she says. “Monsters. Andrew Morrison.”

“And it’s not fair Lucas. I’m friends with the people in the party too, and I’m your sister! I deserve to be involved just as much as you.” With a final sigh, she crossed her arms- awaiting for her brother’s response, for him to put his hands up and admit defeat.
“I’m not doing this with you.” He muttered

Summary
“Don’t move,” Jason whispers. “If we don’t move he won’t see us.”
“That’s for a T-rex and it’s a lie. They could very well kill you even then.”
“You are shitting on my hopes and dreams, Replacement.”
“I’m not. I’m just saying —”
“Todd,” Damian calls and when he gets no answer from Jason, he whimpers, “Drake.”
“I can't believe I'm saying this but he’s breaking my heart, dude."
“Shut up, don’t give in. It’s a trap.” Jason says. “It’s a trap —”
They lose both the battle and the war when Damian stops waiting for them and instead stumbles forward, almost drunkenly, and unceremoniously flops himself on Jason’s front, full-on crying against his chest.
“Jesus fuck, Baby-bat. Who do I have to kill?”
(Or the one where Jason and Tim come to the Manor on the early hours of the day after a long night of patrol and they find weird new kind of life form out of this world that cries with snot and all inside the Manor. It takes them some time, because they are both dumbasses, to convince themselves that's actually their little brother crying his eyes out.)

Summary
“Replacement.”
Tim freezes, gaze still locked on Jack’s prone, silent form sprawled out on the floor, and pulls the phone back to look at the number.
It’s kind of funny, he thinks hazily. Of course he would accidentally kill his dad and then mistakenly call Jason, of all people.

Summary
He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.
He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.
She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”
And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.

Summary
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark.
There's a flash of gold and green. For one moment, he finds himself standing amongst the Guardians and others. And then darkness again. It feels like blinking; an extended period of nothingness that ends as abruptly as it begins. One moment there’s nothing, the next there’s light.
“Easy,” a woman says. Her words are gentle, and carry a slight accent that he can’t place. "I'm called Wonder Woman. What's your name?"
