Summary
Hornet never thought she could call the days of the infection ‘simple’, but her siblings so loved to complicate things, didn’t they? Of course, she’d never have it any other way. Even if it did mean she was a child again.
(In a desperate attempt to escape defeat, the Radiance tries to flee through time itself. Ghost follows, taking Hornet along for the ride. But they can’t very well leave Hollow behind either now, can they?
In which Hollow causes an international incident, Hornet wants to throttle someone, and Ghost discovers that punching the Pale King is way better when he’s actually alive.)

Summary
Jason walks into Titans Tower expecting a fight and the satisfaction of beating down the new Robin.
He walks into a suicide instead.
(After multiple back-to-back missions, urgent reports that needed to be filled out, and the stress of a new hostile player in Gotham, sleep has not come easily for Tim. Fortunately for him however, his inability to die has given him a unique, but effective, way of dealing with insomnia.
Unfortunately for everyone else, Jason decides to invade the Titan Tower at the exact same time.)

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
Somehow, the sound of rain is worse than the silence. But Hollow deserves it. It is tangible proof of their failure after all.
(Or: Sometimes you need to grieve to let yourself recover. And sometimes you need to realise that it wasn’t your fault in order to move on.)

Summary
The clues had always been there, he had just never wanted to see them. Maybe neither of them had, instead content to deny the truth before their eyes for the rest of their days because it was better than confronting the alternative. Except Scout had died, and Spy wasn’t able to keep on pretending for his last moments. A part of Jeremy was glad for it, despite the simmering rage and betrayal and hurt.
So when he tried to look God in the eye and tell Him that Tom Jones was his father... He couldn’t. Not really.
(Scout discusses his parentage with God, and stays dead for a little while longer. Well. A lot longer.
On the plus side, he gets to attend his own funeral reception.)

Summary
They were supposed to have beat the Game and get their reward.
And they did. For a while.
But as they slowly decided to relinquish their Godhood and let their stories end, they are reminded one last time that you can't win SBURB.
Not really.
(In which the Game screws with them a final time, and forces them to deal with a world untouched by death, SBURB, and trolls. Some are less happy than others.)- Words:

Summary
“Would it help––should I bring my dinner in too?” Grace jokes, smiling in preparation for the absolute symphony of disgusted whistles he knows Rocky will produce at the thought of them doing something as depraved as sharing a meal. “I’ve been saving this week’s half packet of ramen for just such an occasion––”
[YES YES YES!] Rocky’s translator app suddenly blares from the laptop on the floor between them. [YES, ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT! GRACE RAMEN ♪♫♪♫ WITH ROCKY, AFFIRMATIVE! GRACE ROCKY EAT ♪♫♪♫ MEAL TOGETHER AFFIRMATIVE YES YES AFFIRMATIVE NOW.]

or, a fic to answer the questions: What if you fell in love for the first time in your 40s, and it just so happened to be with your alien best bud who has five legs, no face, and is already married? And then what if you accidentally proposed marriage to said alien best bud without knowing, because while you may be Earth's best and brightest, you are also notoriously inexperienced and kinda stupid at close interpersonal relationships? What then?

Summary
"There is no point in any of this rumination. You are gone. You are nothing now but a muse, something that I can conjure upon command and listen. You are nothing more now than a lullaby, a prayer, a dissonant, augmented, ugly, beautiful melody."
Rocky and Grace part ways for their respective planets. It should feel like a victory. It doesn't.

Summary
Ilyukhina wakes up light years away from her home, from her promised path to a heroic, honourable end. A hundred thousand miles from all the people she left behind. Her induced coma went on too long, and now she's missed all the action, all the decisions, and opened her eyes to an epilogue to a story that should've been hers too, because why else did she leave? To go home, is the wish in her heart, with the only friend she has left.
Grace chose to come home, light years away from the porch where he'd throw his bag after school. A hundred thousand miles, and not a single regret, except now there is somebody who's home isn't here. To stay, is the wish in his heart, with the only part of the porch that he'd ever care to keep around.

AKA
Ilyukhina wakes up half a year after Grace is settled on Erid.
