    There’s an abandoned cottage in the woods, and a bruised to hell Billy Hargrove finds it in the middle of a snowy night in early March. This turns into a bigger deal than it probably ought to.

    Summary

    Strange things are going on in Gotham: A series of crimes linked only by a sentence uttered. A drug that no one seems to be selling, but lots of people are taking. An old enemy reborn, or someone pretending to be him. Graffiti that can't be photographed by normal means. Bartenders disappearing without a trace. John Constantine is also there.

    Danny wants nothing to do with any of it. He just wants to sell burgers and survive. Actually, he'd like to go home again, but since that isn't possible, he'll stick with burgers.

    Gotham's vigilante's have other plans.

    This is why Danny doesn't do favors.

    Summary

    "New to the city? It's a bit much at first, isn't it?" The man inclines his head gratefully when John drops a few coins in his bucket - whatever was left over from the cup of rubbish coffee he bought this morning. It's not much, but from what he's seen of the miners' strike on the news they need anything they can get. 

    "It's been quite overwhelming. I didn't realise how hard it would be to make friends here."

    "I can imagine. My bloke always says people are friendlier the further North you go, and that Londoners are the worst of all," he just says it like that with his soft voice, casual as you like, my bloke, and John's heart nearly seizes. There really are people like him here - it had always been said as a warning back home, but he's so very, very glad to find that it's true. Something must show on his face, because the man's expression softens a little. "Are you family?"

    Is he… oh.

    It's 1984, and John Irving finds his family.

    Summary

    Is it running from your problems if your problems consider you to be a dead imprint of consciousness that killed their son? Yes, but Danny tries not to think about how his nightmares of his parents trying to kill him came true when they found out he was Phantom.

    After being on the run from his parents and the government for a couple of months, moving from town to town, Danny ends up in Gotham City and decides to risk staying in Batman's territory. He'd take the wrath of Batman over live vivisection via beloved parents or being studied and torn apart by the government. Besides, he's not a meta. Being dead is a medical condition.

    Summary

    “You and Combeferre have infinitely more chance of getting together than Enjolras and I,” Grantaire said with finality.
    Courfeyrac sat up straight. Grantaire did not like the gleam in his eye as he slowly raised his finger in the air like an idea worthy of Einstein had just come to him.
    “Are you quite sure of that sir?” Courfeyrac asked in a mock posh accent.
    “Indeed I am, my good fellow,” Grantaire replied in the same way.
    “Then monsieur, I challenge you to a little wager. I bet you that I can make Enjolras kiss you before you can make Combeferre kiss me.”
    “What? Courfeyrac that is ridic-”
    “Fifty euros says I can do it before you can. Just think, if you win you have fifty euros. If you lose Enjolras has just kissed you. It’s win-win situation.”
    Grantaire blinked twice.
    “So what are the ground rules?”
