    Summary

    His skin feels too tight over his body; like his heart is being pulled forward, like it could burst through his sternum.

    “What are you doing?” he breathes, barely audible. The words feel like they’re coming from somewhere else.

    “Being brave,” Caleb replies.

    *

    On the eve of Trent’s trial, Caleb calls Essek and asks for a distraction. He doesn’t specify what kind. Essek has always been good at seeing possibilities.

    Summary

    There’s a crime scene board set up off to one side. Bruce wanders over to examine it while Batman goes about preparing the tests he’ll want to complete to make sure Bruce isn’t going to tear the fabric of spacetime apart.

    He vaguely remembers this case. It was already a cold case even by the time Dick arrived, a murder whose trails had gone nowhere. It was one of the files he’d dusted off and given to Tim to practice his skills.

    He hums approvingly as he studies the board. Tim’s getting close - once he finds the witness Bruce had overlooked the first time, he’ll have the lead he needs to crack the case.

    Then he frowns, touching one of the photos of the building. It’s not one of the original crime scene photos, nor one of the ones Bruce himself had taken when the crime was fresh. Tim must have gone himself to take them after Bruce gave him the case.

    Pride sparks in his chest, twisted with shame.

    “Have you looked at this?” he asks, raising his voice enough for his younger self to hear him over by the monitors.

    Batman grunts, glancing over and then away again. “It’s a cold case,” he says. “Robin’s been working on it.”

    “I know that,” Bruce responds. “Have you looked at it?”

    Summary

    Timothy Drake is a liar.

    Timothy Drake is a lie.

    And he's been damn good at ensuring that no one in his life figures either of those things out. But when a new face comes into his life with an offer of friendship, a solution to a problem, and a charming smile, who seems to know too much about him, he risks losing the thread of his life and his lies completely, and potentially unraveling the family and the life he has woven for himself.

    As the threads become more tangled and people start to get hurt, Tim is forced to reckon with a secret he's kept since before he can remember and his complex relationship with the woman who raised him.

    Summary

    "It’s Panem. Maybe in another world you could have been different, but you’re not. You can’t be. So - you’re right. Whatever you’ve done, everything you’ve ever done, you’re always right, and I hate you so much for it I could scream.”

    Mycroft Holmes, from District One, wins the 59th Hunger Games at the age of fourteen - joining a pool of Victors who do not trust him, entering the decadent netherworld of Panem's Capitol.

    Over the next decade, he becomes the backbone of Snow's Presidency.

    This is the genesis of a revolution.
