Summary
When Jean Valjean arrives at the The Sergeant of Waterloo inn, his goal is to take Cosette away from the wretched place and find her a better life in Paris. It's no place for a child... which is why he ends up with far more than he bargained for.

Summary
"Are you, of all people, stopping me from this?" Pollux whirled around, glaring into the face of the god before him.
He felt angry, so incredibly angry, in a way that couldn't be dulled by anything. But that didn't stop him from registering just how tired his father looked, tired in a way he hadn't ever seen before. Tired in a way he didn't know Olympians could look. It didn't make him less angry, it didn't fix anything the way it needed to be fixed. Instead, it rooted Pollux enough to stay to listen. He supposed he could do that, as one last favor as a son.
"I'm not stopping you," Dionysus finally drawled out. Even his voice seemed tired. "I could tell you no, of course. But what good would it do? If this is what you've set your mind to, you'll do it regardless. All I'm saying, that I never wanted you to have to be a hero. All I'm asking, is that someday you come home."
Pollux studied him for a moment. "I can't promise that."
"I know."

Summary
Tim is grateful Hood leaves promptly, in any case, because that means he doesn’t see Tim crawl the last few feet into his house.
[Jack and Janet die uneventfully— at the hands of a home intruder, at 3:41 in the morning on a Thursday. Two gunshots. Tim’s entire world comes to a screeching halt at 3:44, when he finds their bodies.]

Summary
Dick Grayson is a performer. Jason Todd-Wayne was clever, quick, and strikingly small (though, if you listen to those who whisper in the shadows, the third has not been true for some time now). For Cassandra Wayne, people are as easy to read as an opened book. Barbara Gordon is one of the most talented hackers in the world. Timothy Drake has sticky fingers and something to prove.
In another world, perhaps this would lift them to the greatest of heights. Perhaps they would be monuments, role models, heroes from on high.
This is not that world.
In this world, rather than smash their foes into smithereens, they choose a more careful approach. Easing burdens. Taking weight.
One could say that they provide... leverage.

Or: Sometimes, all you need is a little help from the birds.
Sometimes, that help is a little less legal than every other cape would like for it to be.

Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (filling up my coffee cup) by LilaVaporizer9000

Summary
There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.
Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.
Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.
Or:
Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.
Tim hates mystical artifacts.
(Alternate universe Better Batfam trope)
