    Summary

    "The bat symbol on his chest was red," Dick continues, as if Jason didn't speak. "He came out of nowhere and I tried to stop him, but it was dark. He was quick and ruthless, and – he moved exactly like Bruce."

    What happened was this:

    Years ago, a father and a son went to Ethiopia. Only the son came back.

    Or so they thought.

    Summary

    Tim’s mouth is set in a scowl, jaw tensed, anticipatory, like Jason is scaring him a little. But his eyes are clear and focused. Calculating. He’s studying Jason just as much as Jason is studying him.

    Jason wonders what his own face looks like to the kid. He wonders if he looks as dead behind the eyes as the rest of the block’s regular prostitutes.

    “I want to know how to work corners,” Tim says, flat. “I won’t take your good spots or your good customers, but if you could tell me how to, uh…market - be more marketable, how the game works here, I can repay you a portion of my earnings until -“

    Oh, Jason does not have time for this.

    ~

    Jason Todd is approached by a kid one night. Things get weirder from there. And better, too, but he won’t realize that until it’s too late.

    Summary

    “The amnesiac has questions,” says Grantaire. Boyfriend grips the wheel. “Don’t worry, we’ll start with the 200 dollar Jeopardy trivia.” A semi roars past them. “What’s your name?”
    The perfect sinew and bones of his fingers relax. “Oh,” he murmurs. Just like that, defenses lowered. “Enjolras.”
    “Cool,” Grantaire says. “I’m Grantaire.”
    Something happens to Enjolras’ face which, if you zoomed in, might be considered a smile. “I know.”
    “How long have we been dating, Enjolras?”
    The almost-smile is gone. The gameshow metaphor has become too apt; someone’s lost it all. “That’s complicated.”
    Well. Grantaire should’ve known some part of this fairytale was too good to be true. He’s best friends with a streetsmart renegade and someone who wrote him a welcome-back-to-consciousness poem in godawful blue icing on an orange frosted cookie cake. There are nearly ten people who were waiting for him to wake up in a hospital room.
    Of course his inexplicable relationship with his supernova hot, socially conscientious boyfriend is ‘complicated.’
