Summary
Jason Todd knows hate. He’s built his life around it. He knows the taste of it when it comes to the Joker and the way it used to rot and fester around Bruce Wayne.
But this… this is different. Because hate isn’t supposed to feel like attention. It isn’t supposed to feel like being seen. And it definitely isn’t supposed to feel like something he wants.
When Jason is forced into an uneasy alliance with Superboy Prime, everything he thought he understood about control, anger, and distance begins to unravel. Prime is infuriating, impossible, and unshakably present in a way Jason can’t find his way out of. Worse still, he never seems afraid of the line Jason keeps drawing between them.
Jason calls it hate. He repeats it until it should make sense. But the truth is far more complicated than that.
And Clark Kent is surprisingly very patient about complicated things.

Summary
The room is too bright.
It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.
It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.
With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

Summary
Aventurine turned around only to see Veritas messing with his shirt again. His desire to know finally overtook him, aligning with the champagne in lifting the weight of his inhibition, thus leading him right behind Veritas. Quickly, he pinched the fabric and pulled back, gasping as he saw what had been troubling the scholar.
A red, shiny fabric tied into a bow. A style that was typically used for--
Veritas pushed his chair back, subsequently forcing Aventurine to retreat. He stood to his full height, though he wasn't imposing. Instead, embarrassment and alarm skewed his features, hand around his neck protectively. "I can explain--"
"Was that...?" the blonde murmured dumbly.
"I--," the taller man started only to freeze. He covered his face with both hands, every patch of visible skin feverishly burnt. "Damn it. You know exactly what it is."

Summary
Hanker Sore;
This is an emotion most of us wouldn’t want to admit to feeling, but hanker score refers to the phenomenon of finding someone so attractive that it makes you feel angry at them for some reason. It differs from jealousy in the sense that it’s subtler and more subconscious. When you feel hanker sore, you don’t feel explicitly hostile or envious towards the person, but deep down inside, you can’t help but feel upset at their random stroke of luck for winning the genetic lottery.

Summary
It all started with a simple proposal.
As they so often did when they met after a long day at work, idle chitchat about their day and insufferable colleagues was the norm. Ratio had been recounting how one of his students had nearly been convinced to participate in what was undoubtedly a fraudulent start-up, involving water purifiers in Thalassa, when the idea struck him.
“Would you be interested in holding a lesson for my students?”
Aventurine nearly let his spoon fall into his soup. “Huh?”
