    Summary

    “Of course you have contingencies for me,” Tim says, in a tone that suggests Bruce even pretending otherwise is both annoying and an insult to Tim's intelligence. “You have contingencies for everyone.”

    “Not everyone,” Bruce says. “Not you.”

    Bruce keeps his breathing even and measured, doesn’t betray for a second the relief he feels when Tim believes him. When Tim doesn't find the uglier, unsaid truth beneath Bruce’s carefully considered words.

    The lack of contingencies for Red Robin does not mean that Batman trusts him infallibly.
    The lack of contingencies for Red Robin means that a compromised Tim Drake is one of the things Bruce fears most.

    Summary

    For all of Monaco’s perfections, like every other major population centre in Europe, something had to give. Hidden in its darkened alleys, whispered between articles in the papers, shared within knowing eyes, and buried by those who know better, is one simple truth: Monte Carlo is run by the gangs. The biggest of which is the Red Bull Ring.

    — — —

    Knock–Knock Knock–Knock.

    Charles Leclerc knows that Max Verstappen is a Red Bull—he’s known for a while—and yet, he still lets the Dutchman push him onto his bed, without so much as a second thought, whenever the man shows up at his apartment.

    OR: Charles finds out that everybody in his life is actually a gang member.

    Summary

    I should warn Lewis, Charles thinks, first thing in the morning, as he stares himself down and brushes his teeth. As he scrambles eggs for breakfast. As he takes a shower. As he calls his mom and lets her scold him for scruffy his hair looks

    He doesn't.

    Ferrari is haunted, and Charles — Charles doesn't care about it half as much as he should.

    Summary

    “No. Listen. Any baptized Catholic man can be pope. Any. You know what that means?”

    “It means a billion men are now eligible to run the Vatican like it’s a startup,” Beatrice mutters.

    Davide raises an eyebrow. “Where are you going with this?”

    Gianluca leans in. Drops his voice like it’s a state secret. “We choose one.”

    or

    In which there are two religions in Italy — the Catholic Church and Ferrari. When the papacy unexpectedly falls vacant, a group of dedicated Tifosi see their opportunity. After all, if Charles Leclerc can handle the pressure of the Prancing Horse, how much harder could managing the Holy See really be?

    Summary

    Angus McDonald is having a lot of trouble finding a lead on this missing-people-who-maybe-don't-exist case. He doesn't come across any moon bases or conspiracies or big memory-erasing jellyfish.

    Instead, he comes across an odd lich who seems connected to this case in more ways than he can say. And Angus kind of gets adopted, accidentally? You know. It happens.
