Summary
It’s not often that Hogwarts accepts a transfer student in their seventh year – but that’s not the only thing that makes Aventurine special.
A Muggle-born Slytherin, a charismatic showman, and a fool who sometimes seems like he has no idea how to cast magic… but at times seems capable of far more than he should.
The more Ratio learns about his new classmate, the greater his intrigue grows.
… And the deeper his emotions become.

Summary
“Ratio, you wretch.” Aventurine’s hiss was cut off with a wince of pain as Sunday pressed forward, gripping blond locks in one smooth motion.
“I’d watch your tongue, gambler.” Sunday’s voice had been venomous and alarming before, sure, but now it was downright dangerous. “Have you forgotten what I said about cutting it out?”
“He may be a Sigonian,” Ratio’s voice came from the side. “But he’s still a Stoneheart. I understand your feelings on this…matter, Mr. Sunday, but I’d advise caution.”
Or, an alternate take on the 2.1 Sunday/Aventurine confrontation where Sunday kidnaps Aventurine and Ratio (eventually) comes to the rescue.

Summary
“You’re so worthless,” she spat, and Sakura clenched his fist because fighting would not be good. He talked with his fist, but they didn’t, they would just call him a monster and for once- Sakura didn’t want any trouble. He just wanted to be left alone. “As much as a brat you are, we need to take you with us.”
Sakura jolted in surprise and finally looked up at their disgusted faces. They hated just to look at him. He hadn’t seen such a look directed towards him in a long time. “Why can’t you just leave me alone-”
“Watch your tone,” the man reminded him, looming so high over him that he casted a shadow from the summer sun. Sakura shivered. He was so cold.

Summary
Of all the things Clark thought he might find while snooping around one of Luthor's labs on the outskirts of Washington, he expected maybe some kryptonite. But what he found was something far more unexpected. A Kryptonian... or at least, what seemed like one. A newborn, tiny and vulnerable, crying helplessly, shaking him to his core.
*
Bruce, exhausted after a long night battling the Riddler, returns to the Batcave hoping for some rest, only to be met with an unexpected sight: Superman sitting on the floor, cradling a crying infant. Normally, Bruce would keep his distance when it comes to children that aren’t his, but given the baby’s apparent Kryptonian origins, he can’t just walk away.

Summary
After being exposed to a chemical that has already hospilitilised Tim Drake, Dick Grayson is put on medical supervision that he very much does not need because he is perfectly okay. The nausea is just because he had something dodgy to eat and the dizziness is because he just hasn't had enough to drink. Not wanting his family to be needlessly hovering over him, Dick goes to his apartment in Blüdhaven instead when he absolutely feels perfectly fine and does not need help what-so-ever because he is the eldest and the others always look to him for reassurance.
Okay, maybe he's a little bit sick but it's not that bad, really.
He's fine.

Summary
Dick’s luck had finally run out. He knew Bruce would kill him if he found out, it’s not like he meant to get stabbed right before the big Wayne Foundation Spring Gala. He’d just wanted a few hours of Nightwing-time to clear his head, which he honestly deserved if he was going to the gala. Besides, the Wayne clan had an image to maintain, so he would go. Anyway, it was always fun to see Brucie make an appearance, though it may be a little less enjoyable with a stab wound.
***
Dick gets stabbed on patrol right before a gala, decides it's no big deal, and goes anyway. This may not have been the best plan.
