Summary
“Peach-Ginger-Kale smoothie, 24 oz please.”
Fuck him.
Dick should turn tail and walk right back out of this shop. He didn’t actually need this smoothie, he was just being gluttonous. There was yogurt, strawberries, bananas and milk in the kitchen at the station. He could make his own smoothie without the headache. He’s finally talking sense into his limbs to fucking move when it dawns on him.
Dancer is in Blud. Dancer might even be from Blud, and he’s out in the daylight, ordering a smoothie.
xx
Dick Grayson is just trying to work a case when he's caught the attention of a mysterious masked man. Of course he sleeps with him. It's the worst thing he could have done.

Summary
If Jason knew what was good for him, he’d pull away. He’d leave now and delete Dick’s number and burn the shirt he left in his apartment and never, ever step foot in Gotham again. If Jason knew what was good for him, he’d break the cycle.
Jason stepped forward, closing the distance between them, and twined his fingers behind Dick’s neck, leaning into his warmth.

Summary
“You're trying to distract me,” Zoro says.
Sanji hums, drops his head onto Zoro's shoulder, and feels his own pain, feels Zoro's intake of breath. Sits there, kinda sleepy now, Usopp making snuffling noises horizonal on the other side of the table, and Zoro very warm under his cheek. Maybe he is too drunk, because his eyes are closing and his breathing is evening out, and the hurt isn't that much, anymore, can barely feel it at all.
“You little shit,” Zoro says eventually.
Sanji grins to himself, says more to Zoro’s neck, “You think?”
***
The many loves of Sanji's life.
Alternatively: Of course he's fucking with him.

Intricate plot with a flawed but very sympathetic Dick Grayson. Excellent Jason Todd also. Absolute hidden gem.

Bruce's relationship with Gotham. Literally. Harsh, beautiful, with surprising flashes of humor.

Summary
If there was no Batman, he would just have to create him. No matter what the cost. With the help of a Batman-inspired supercomputer that is close to the real thing (but not nearly close enough), Superman brings Batman to the world once more.

"Chance of survival?"
"If you leave now?" Bruce said pointedly. "It's 67. Keep waiting around and it will drop incrementally every ten seconds. Feel like being a hero today, Clark? Or would you rather hang around talking to me all day?"
Kal gasped. For seconds he could feel, he felt powerless and incapable of motion or thought. This he had not programmed. The sarcasm; the controlled, time-bomb anger. This had been learned, adapted, ingrained somehow. He was aware of but didn't necessarily hear the organic thundering behind the casing and wondered how it had grown since the day before. He both thrilled at and feared the idea that it was becoming more than the sum of its parts. More like what it was meant to be.
And no one called him 'Clark.'
No one still breathing, at least.
So very dark and so very good

Bookmarker's Notes
Beside the dock there is a pile of fish heads bursting with gulls. They birds clack their beaks over the choicest parts: the eyes and the red filamentous gill arches. Baru strides past this, half a step ahead of Apparitor to show her eagerness, on the morning Tain Hu dies with the tide.
The first but still the best fic this fandom has. So gorgeous and painful.

"Yeah, that? Is why this is a bad idea, because you can't even talk right now and Jesus, I'm a horrible person," he rambled, his hand running through his hair.
"You're not a horrible person," she said, attempting to sit up. "I kissed you first. Right?"
"But you're drunk and heartbroken, and I don't know. It's a bad, bad combination."
Betty nodded, tucking her hair behind her ear and chewing at her lip nervously. Reggie watched her teeth bite into her soft lip and he suddenly wanted nothing more than to run his tongue along that spot, see if he could feel a mark and oh my god what the hell was wrong with him, he needed to go, like, now.
"So, I'm going to take off," Reggie said, thumbing at the door. Betty sat in that same spot on the couch, not talking, just looking at him. "Right. I'll call you. Drink some water. Night."
Guh, I love pre-Riverdale Archie comics fic so much, and this has such a classic rom-com feel to it. The writing is amazing.

That's why he opens Joe's.
