    Summary

    Conner had a pretty good life, all things considered. He wouldn't necessarily call it a great life, but it was good enough.
    Sure, living alone at Mount Justice with only a robot for company could get lonely sometimes, but he had his independence, his freedom from Lex, and his teammates on Young Justice.

    Unfortunately, no matter how content he was with his life, he could never quite shake the way he ached for Superman's approval. The way his insides twisted when his mistakes were met with harsh words and punishing hands. The way jealousy sunk its claws in deep every time he had to watch Superman and Jon interact. Still, he had a pretty good life, and that was all he needed.

    But when an accident ends with Conner being thrown through a wall and Superman learning that his clone isn't quite as tough as he seems, that pretty good life comes crashing down around his shoulders. Superman insists these changes are for the best, that he's trying to make amends and help, but Conner isn't so sure. Not that anybody ever seemed to care what he thought.

    At least Jon had a pretty cool video game collection. Maybe living with the Kents wouldn't be so bad.

    Summary

    “I think your siblings are gonna kill me.”

    Dick frowned, glancing at his phone on the coffee table. “Does this have anything to do with why Jason said you’re meeting him at Gotham Harbor Friday?”

    Wally paled. “Of course he’s first…”

    He looked down at his boyfriend. “First? Walls, what’s going on?”

    “Jason said it’s time for ‘trial by sibling’?”

    Dick stilled. “...shit. Dammit, I was really hoping they gave up on that.”

    Continuation of my last BirdFlash fic, can prob be read standalone w/no issue but it’s linked here in case u wanna check it out too :D
    5 Times Dick Kissed Wally (kind of) + 1 Time Wally Kissed Him (and then some)

    Set after Duke’s introduction to the family, this is a mix of crack, character analysis, Birdflash, Batfam, and Feels™ that ends like all good comedies: A Proposal! Featuring plenty of Wally trying to earn the “approval” of the rest of the Batfam! Dw, none of them know how to be haters if it kicked them in the face. Much more fluff than its angstier prequel! (But also not devoid of angst fyi).

    Summary

    “Why.” Kai questions, except he’s too tired and the question falls flat into more of a
    statement. Lloyd shrugs, blonde hair scraping across his shoulders (it’s getting too long), and sips at the bitter concoction. He doesn’t make a face anymore, and Kai isn’t sure when he drank enough to get used to the taste.

    Or, a snapshot of a new, on-going, melancholia piece on the ninja. (To be read like DR didn't happen.)
