Summary
“I am the ghost of the man I was yesterday. He is dead, and I have killed him. It is not the first time, nor will it be the last. I am, as every man, a parliament of spirits.”
Disaster strikes when Batman and Robin go missing while investigating a mysterious ailment sucking the life out of Gotham’s masks. To save them, Nightwing and the Red Hood venture into the shadow world of the Neverwhere, where the spirits of friends and foes are locked in a battle for the soul of Gotham City. But the ghosts of their pasts refuse to let them go, and it will take everything they have to make it out alive.Or: The one where Robin cage-fights an Owl, Jason has an identity crisis, and Dick wonders whether this whole vigilante thing was ever a good idea. Oh, and the Batmobile might be sentient. Deathstroke is just along for the ride.

Summary
Jiang Cheng is jaded, bitter and miserable. Lan Xichen isn't sure he can ever trust anyone again. They've always been at the periphery of each other's lives, perpetually visible but never touching, and it seems it's going to stay that way. Then Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui fall in love, and everything changes.
Thrown together as the only single men in a family full of couples, neither is exactly happy about their situation. But when two lonely people find each other, sometimes they can be a little less lonely together.A fic re-upload 8 years after it was first posted. Because sometimes I like to revisit my teenage hyperfixations.
