    Chapter 2:

    His hand curls anxiously around that scorpion tattoo on his right shoulder, and Clint thinks poison.

    Well, the only difference between poison and medicine is control. Sometimes that’s something you have to outsource.

    Jason laughs—for half a second it sounds exactly like him—like the real Jason, the before Jason. He misses that sound so much it hurts.

    Then the laugh twists and goes manic. Too high and too fast. The illusion shatters.

    “I don't remember it all, but I know we were laughing. Makes me laugh now too, ‘cause I had no idea what was coming. Just a dumb kid walkin’ around in the suit he’s about to be buried in. Pfft, actually thinkin’ he was gonna get to grow up."

    Special mentions:

    Chapter 2:

    Maybe, right now, to Bruce, that seems like a favor. To Dick and Drake and the others, it probably even seems heroic.

    But Jason used to buy his mom’s drugs too. And this feels exactly like that.

    Chapter 6: sequel

    “I like when you do it,” Jason tells him. His tone is soft, almost wondering. He sounds like he’s confessing something. “Isn’t that fucked up? I’m going to hate you so much someday.”

    Chapter 11:

    When Clint was a kid who got lost, no one ever went looking. And now there are people looking for him, but he can’t afford to be found.

    Chapter 15:

    Nobody tells them, all these good people. Nobody told Bucky, either, and he tore himself to pieces until he finally figured it out.

    “It doesn’t matter what you want,” he says. “It only matters what you do.”

    Special mentions to

    Chapter 10:

    The guidebooks say you shouldn’t ask a wight how they died. Don’t invite an emotional response. Don’t remind them of the details.

    But Tony’s having an emotional response. Tony’s thinking about a fourteen-year-old kid being murdered in his car.

    Chapter 15:

    Steve wonders what happened in that cave, how many pieces of himself Tony lost. Lately, Steve’s been watching old interviews of Tony from before he was taken, and it’s like watching a stranger, like meeting some happier twin he never knew Tony had.

    Chapter 16:

    But back before, when Bucky was human, it was a thing you did in secret, something you were so ashamed of that you’d fight men in bars for saying it out loud. Even before it was violent, it was shameful, and Bucky never wanted to hurt anyone, never wanted to do something to someone that they’d lie about later.

    Chapter 17: sequel to part 2 chapter 31

    Clint doesn’t think much of anything these days. That’s a choice he made a year or so back. Held his mind underwater until it drowned.

    Chapter 18:

    And he doesn’t know if he’s brave, but he knows in the end that he was smart enough. He was as smart as he needed to be, as smart as his people needed him to be. Smart enough not to let himself sell all those lives the people in the basement wanted to claim.

    The Death Eaters didn’t take his memories. He did that.

    Chapter 6:

    He sounds jealous. He might be. Jealousy comes easy to Stark. Someone taught him that the only acceptable ways to show affection are jealousy and expensive gifts.

    There are emotions you have to pry out of Stark like you’re taking the shell off a turtle, like it’ll kill him to let you have them. But he’ll hand you the ugly ones for free.

    Chapter 11:

    “I mean,” the bartender continues, “who the fuck are you? The health inspector? The Goddamn EPA?”

    Bucky clocks the particularly aggrieved way he says EPA. “You have a history of difficulties with the Environmental Protection Agency?”

    Chapter 14:

    He’s trying to be better, sure. But mostly he’s just trying to be the person he needed six years ago, and every day since.

    Chapter 16:

    “Yeah,” he says, because there’s so much he can’t have, so he might as well have this. And he doesn’t know what it’ll be like, doesn’t know what to expect, but it’s new. It’s not yesterday. And he can’t survive another Goddamn yesterday, so he’ll take whatever it is, take any new thing he can find.

    Chapter 20:

    Jason groans like Dean just kicked down his door to serve papers. “Asshole, I’m gonna get you Superman’s number.”

    “Oh, will he send me sexy pictures too?” Dean asks. Beside him, Sam chokes on his water.

    Chapter 28:

    He’s pretty good at letting the hit land and roll off him, clocking the memory and the inevitable spike of panic, but letting it go before it can burrow in. It’s been years since some off-hand joke about We need another Snap has sent him spiraling.

    Chapter 31:

    There’s always Clint to worry about. There used to be others to worry about, too. And now there’s just Clint, and that’s how Tony learned that building weapons and fighting back only ever served to get better people killed.
