    Summary

    When most look at the King and Queen of Camelot, they see Arthur and Guinevere Pendragon, the beloved royals that have somehow managed to defy the odds. The nobles love them, the common people love them, and they embody the notion that they are just as much their people's servants as the people are theirs. Court has become far less the place of awestruck fear and iron will, morphing into a sanctuary of sorts where ills can be shared and conversations made. No more do the folk tremble at the thought of being summoned, no more do guard patrols storm through the lower town. Instead, the streets are filled with the merry sounds of everyday life, of market stalls and children playing and fat men watching from their windows as the oldest folk enjoy a walk with their grandchildren. Camelot's center thrives amidst the bounty of the harvest and not a mouth goes hungry as ale flows like rivers from table to table.

    In short, they would see a King and Queen of a happy kingdom, and not think to wonder more.

    Summary

    Wally gets a babysitting gig from an old friend.
    -
    Dick crouches to be at Damian’s eye level, and his voice suddenly takes on a brisk tone, one Wally associates so strongly with being assigned patrol routes that he twitches. “Wally, this is Damian, Damian, this is Wally. Wally is one of my very best friends. He is very important to me. You aren't going to stab him. This isn’t a debate,” Dick says, when Damian raises an eyebrow, “Or a rule. You can’t physically do it. He is much faster than you.”
    “I know what his powers are,” Damian says, sounding annoyed, and also like he considers them to be a fun challenge.
    “I would like it to be a rule,” Wally volunteers.
    -
    "Who’s the last person who saw him?" Jason asks Tim. "Did you talk to D- the kid? Nightwing never does anything without talking to him, what’d he say?”
    There’s a sudden, nervous silence.
    “Hey,” Jason says, dangerously, “Where is the kid?”
    “Hm,” Tim says. “He’s- in school -,”
    “On a Saturday? In July?” Tim makes a sound like a chipmunk in a trash compactor. “Tim, did you fuckin’ forget about the baby? Do not hang up on me-”
    “Don’t real name me at work!” Tim squawks, panicked, and hangs up.
