Summary
It’s been two months since Bruce has allowed Tim to go out as Robin, and every night Bruce patrols the city alone. Gotham’s shadowy knight is stalking the streets for a vigilante that seems to forethink his every move, and at the same time, dead ends; false trails; and strange, macabre clues haunt both the Batman and Bruce Wayne.
Meanwhile, Tim drinks stupid protein shakes made with milk from Wisconsin cows and fails online Precalculus. They are, Tim thinks bitterly, right back where they started.
(But there is a difference between waiting and biding your time.)
Title taken from “To an Athlete Dying Young” by A.E. Housman.

The new vigilante in Gotham takes notice.

Summary
Jason Todd returns to Gotham with a detailed plan for Batman, the Joker, and the new Robin he’s seen pictures of in the papers. There’s just one tiny problem with his plan: Batman is missing. Also the Joker is missing. And nobody has seen Robin in a while.
In unrelated news, there are two(?) teen vigilantes patrolling the streets of Gotham. Someone should probably do something about that.
--
Jason was going to find answers, and when he did, he was going to beat the shit out of someone. Who it was going to be depended on what the fuck, exactly, was going on.

Summary
Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the war is over. The monuments have been built, the medals distributed, the survivors sorted into the lives the world decided suited them best.
Ten years after the war that tore their lives apart, a dark artifact deposits Harry, Hermione, and Ginny into a Britain that almost looks like home. Except Tom Riddle never became Voldemort. He became something else. A genuine leader, a complicated man, someone who made one terrible choice at sixteen and has spent thirty years choosing otherwise.
Hermione was prepared for the monster. She was not prepared for him.
OR
Three trauma bonded wizards who orbit each other the way planets orbit a sun that already went nova— because some gravitational fields survive even the explosion that created them.
And then there is Tom Riddle, who has spent his life being followed and never been truly known, watching a woman cast a seventh-level containment ward in twelve seconds to protect people she loves, and feeling something he does not immediately have a word for.
He finds the word. Eventually.

Summary
Tim Drake is eleven years old and very good at taking care of himself. He's been doing it since he was seven. He knows his parents' emergency contacts, how to fix a blown fuse, and how to order groceries online. What he doesn't know, and what nobody prepared him for, is what to do when he wakes up zip-tied on a warehouse floor with the Joker crouching at eye level, looking at him like a puzzle that just got interesting.
OR
Tim Drake being relentlessly competent under terrible circumstances, Bruce Wayne being emotionally constipated about it, and the Joker making a series of decisions that change everything.
