    Summary

    "You believe, when you see the world, that you’re getting information. But what a human does is take in information and then tell itself a story. A shepherd stands in a field at night and looks at the night sky. He sees a falling star streak across the horizon and then disappear. But he doesn’t know what a shooting star is, so he tells himself a story about gods falling from the sky. You’re amazing storytellers, especially the stories you tell yourselves. But it’s not truth. It’s all a fiction on some level."

    When Ava and Caspar are forced to walk a mile in each others' shoes, the resilience of the stories they tell themselves is tested. But with Caspar struggling to keep up with Ava's brain, and Ava pushing Caspar's to the limit, will they be able to fix it before the damage is permanent? What is it that separates the brain from the mind? And can the others stop laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of it all for long enough to be of any help?

    Summary

    His hair was dark, but just a shade too dark, and far too long. Eyes that were just as intelligent, but filled with a genuine sparkle behind their familiar assessing gaze. A suit, still tailored, but lacking a vest and tie, shirt unbuttoned just this side of unprofessional. A smile that looked real, but that Peter knew better than to trust.

    “I’m Agent Grayson, your JL consultant,” he said. Even his voice was just not quite right. It was uncanny, this man who should have been Neal was undisputedly was not.

     

    Or

    Not long after Neal Caffrey disappears without a trace, White Collar gets assigned a consultant from the Justice League, and Agent Grayson is just a little too familiar.

    Summary

    He always knew Damian would surpass him. In fact, he thinks Damian will probably be the tallest of all of them (even if Jason rejects that theory).

    After all, Bruce is 6’2 and Talia isn’t short. Tim isn’t sure how tall she is, but if he had to hazard a guess, he’d say around 5’8. And Ra’s is taller than Jason, so he’s got to be pushing 6’5.

    Not only that, but Heretic was like 7 feet tall. Of course, he was experimented on a bit more than Damian and artificially aged, which is bound to mess you up, but he’s still a practically perfect genetic template of Damian. Tim fully expects Damian to be at least Ra’s height, maybe an inch shorter due the damage to his spine.

    This is going to be an adjustment.

    Or, that moment when your younger sibling outgrows you told from the exact moment all of Damian's brothers realize it. Plus, Bruce at the end as a bonus. Some DamiJon mentioned as a plot device and I know they canonically don't go to high school together, but in this they do because Damian deserves friends. Lizzie (Trinity) is also their age because why not.

    Summary

    Tim offers to help Damian with a hacking project- an olive branch, of sorts.

    There are more... deer involved than either anticipated. And feelings. And... revenge?
