Summary
"Crap!" the food truck worker shrieks in alarm. "Don't hurt him, Superman, he's just a kid!"
Clark . . . pauses, then looks up from the kid that he is currently pinning into the street as said kid struggles underneath him.
"'Hurt him'?" he asks in reflexive confusion, and then realizes how batting a teenager around like a person-shaped cat toy and pinning him to the street hard enough to crack it probably actually looks to an outside observer.
. . . um.
Whoops.
"Um," he starts awkwardly, and then the kid slips his pin while he's distracted and throws his arms around his neck with a gleeful laugh and a bright grin.
"Dad!" he crows triumphantly, and hugs Clark harder than literally anyone has ever hugged him before.

“Oh god, Clark has a kid,” Lois says, putting her hands on her face, sandwich and all, and looking less and less concerned and more and more panicked. “Clark has a baby! A kid who’s a baby! And also a teenager! I can’t be a dad, my dad is the worst, what kind of dad would I be?!”
“The ‘mom’ kind?” Jimmy suggests, but Lois clearly isn’t listening.
“I’m gonna be a terrible dad!” she says despairingly, gesturing frantically at Superboy with her sandwich and nearly dropping it. Clark just keeps an eye out and figures he’ll just catch it if she does. “I don’t know how to dad! And how am I gonna afford to send you to college?! I should’ve had eighteen years to get you a college fund!”

Summary
Percy wasn’t meant to hear the moment when his father found out that he existed.
(An all-human, no powers PJO AU, in which Percy loses a mother and gains a father that doesn't want him, a brother that doesn't like him, and an entirely excessive extended family he never asked for. Somehow it's even more complicated than it sounds)

“No. No, Hestia,” the man on the phone – Poseidon – sounded angry now. His voice raised where his sister’s had softened. “You drop this on me out of the blue when I’m not – I’m not – I was having a good day, understand? I was in a good mood, Triton was in a good mood, for the first fucking time in months. And now this?” he laughed loudly and bitterly. “Fucking…god, I don’t know. I need to go,”
“I understand. This isn’t what you needed, I know that,”
“Yeah, damn right,”
“Oh, and his name is-,”
“I don’t want to know his name. Goodbye,”
Percy’s father – maybe – hung up without another word.

“What, Mom?” he asked.
“You’ll never guess who I ran into while I was there..”
“Who did you run into, Mom?” Logan asked.
“Rory Gilmore!”
Logan wasn’t sure how long the silence that followed lasted.
——————
“Very well, actually,” Shira said. “She’s pregnant. Due at the end of June.”
Logan wondered if this is what is felt like when a person sees an incoming freight train moving toward them. His entire mind was shutting down. All he could think about were the flying pages of a calendar.
June. May. April. March. February. January. December. November. Oct -

“I…” She trailed off, then curled closer. “I have Luke. You have Leia. Let’s just...keep it that way.”
He nodded. “I have Leia. You have Luke.”
“Not forever,” she said. “Right?”
“Not forever,” he echoed, and closed his eyes. “And you’ll--don’t go yet, please?”
“I won’t,” she promised. He felt her kiss the top of his head. “I’ll stay a little longer.”
Just a little longer. And it won’t be forever.
Anakin repeated it in his head, over and over and over again, trying so hard to believe.

Summary
“You know it’s strange,” his new roommate threw back over his shoulder. “You actually look pretty similar to Anakin Skywalker.” He straightened The Poster lovingly and patted the shiny pecs again.
Luke squeaked and cleared his throat, desperate for a distraction so he could flee to scream with Leia. “Uh yeah, about that…”
And as if the Force itself had heard him, the door swung open.
Enter stage left, Anakin Skywalker carrying a mini fridge.

His roommate’s face cleared, then his brow furrowed again. “Oh cool! So, like, why are you glaring a hole through my poster then? I can always put up a different one?” He reached down to show Luke – oh for fuck’s sake – another poster, his father this time leaning over a spaceship engine holding a wrench, once again sweaty and shirtless. Where is he getting all these posters, Luke thought hysterically. That’s not even the right tool for that engine! Anakin Skywalker-Naberrie was many things, but he would not condone improper ship maintenance, even fictionalised.
