    Summary

    "Odysseus was clever, but his vanity and ego would have killed him long before his return home if not for his wife.”

    “Penelope?” Tim asked.

    “Exactly, child, Penelope," his nanny smiled. "The men of Ancient Greece would have you believe that she was idle, waiting for her husband to come home and solve her problems, but this is far from the truth. For routine and ritual are not powerless things. In pouring her love for her son and husband into her weaving, she called out to the goddesses Hestia and Hera. Despite never lifting a finger in violence herself, Penelope saved her family.”
    --
    Tim finds that there are more ways to protect the Bats than just Robin. A little magic never hurt anyone, after all.

    This better be how the next season starts. I don't even watch the show, but am so invested in these two.

    Summary

    “The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”

    “Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”

    Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.

    “You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”

    “You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.

    “No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”

    Jason bluescreened.

     

    (Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

    Summary

    What if Chimney didn't just punch Buck? What if he was so blinded by his own rage and desperate need to find Maddie that he injures Buck far deeper than a single punch? When Eddie finds his best friend unconscious and barely breathing on his own kitchen floor, it starts a tidal wave that no one saw coming. With Buck fighting for his life, the 118 is divided on if Chimney actually did this to Buck or if Buck was just lying to get back at Chimney for taking Maddie from him. Regardless, Chmney is AWOL with a warrant out for his arrest. And he's on the run with Jee-Yun.

    Eddie is doing everything he can to keep Buck alive and back on the road to recovery. And surprisingly he has some help from someone he least expected, Tommy Kinard, who has become a lifesaver to both Buck and Eddie. But when Chimney is arrested and Jee-Yun is placed in Buck's custody, can Tommy and Eddie manage to keep Buck from drowning? Or will Eddie finally lose his best friend? And will Tommy lose the man that he quickly fell in love with? And just how long will it take for Buck to realize that he was madly in love with Tommy? One thing is for certain, this new family was in for some serious turbulence.

    Summary

    “You really love him, huh?” Josh says, and Buck nods, his sinuses and eyes burning. “Just call him. None of that sounded like finished business. Just call him.”

    “What if he hates me?” Buck asks, blinking back tears.

    “I can promise you that after spending a truly insufferable evening with you two at Hamburger Mary’s that he does not, cannot, and will not hate you.” Josh smiles and squeezes his shoulder, and Buck takes a deep breath before wiping the small bit of moisture from his eyelashes. “Now show me what's under that flight suit.”

    ---

    It's time for Josh Russo to fix this mess, with the help of a gay cowboy musician.
