Summary
There’s no point getting upset about what she has to leave behind. She has her photographs, she has her mom’s knife, she has Riley’s final gift to her. I’m going to be the fucking savior of humanity, Ellie thinks fiercely. It doesn’t quite ring true yet, but maybe it will, in time.
(Or: Ellie loses some things and finds others, and maybe it all balances out in the end.)

Summary
Ellie lies back down on the concrete floor of the cellar they’d camped out in for the night. “Sorry,” she mumbles. “Bad dream.”
She hears Joel exhale. “If you ever want to... talk to me about it,” he says. He coughs and clears his throat. “You can. I’m always here to listen. I’m not much good at talking but I know a thing or two about bad dreams.”
***
Ellie and Joel’s first three nights after leaving Silver Lake.

Summary
Tim is an independent, clever, and super mature eleven-year-old. Unfortunately, his dopey neighbor, Bruce, can’t seem to understand that.
When he decides to disappear on a “solo camping trip” and run away to Canada, he figures it’s the perfect plan that will make everybody happy. He didn’t expect the Waynes would tag along with him and ruin everything.
A six-chaptered tale filled with identity shenanigans, s’mores, soon-to-be-brothers, and a kid who is in desperate need of a new family.

Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Bookmarker's Notes
Jason had stared dumbly at the contents of the time machine – the sun-faded quilt from his childhood bed, red-brown and ochre. The silver Sony CD player with a kink in the cord from where it had been wrapped around the leg of his desk. Books. Model cars. A polaroid camera. All of it plucked from the aether. Jason hadn’t known what he was supposed to say. As he’d looked at it, the manifestation of the childhood he lost, at Alfred’s face, changed by seven years of misery, he’d felt it all creep up on him at once: the certainty had echoed up from the foundation beneath him. His eyes had been pulled to look at the ceiling, to a yellowing water stain in the corner that Alfie had never been able to banish – out, damn spot. Jason knew in that moment that they weren’t alone.
There you are, he’d thought, eyes locked on the ripples of rot. I see you.
In the present, Jason swallows. His throat sticks. “Do you think,” he asks rigidly, “that there is something in that house?”

Summary
“What, like—when Cheetahs get emotional support dogs?” Tim still sounds groggy. “I’m your emotional support human?”
“More like, ’bonded pair, do not separate.’” Kon mutters. “They want me to acclimate to my enclosure.”
Or: Kon and Tim get kidnapped for display in an alien zoo. They only really wanted Kryptonians, but Kon manages to get the zookeepers to believe the human he came with is necessary for his general well-being.
It only gets worse from there.
