Summary
The gently rocking train sang its lullaby along the tracks as it headed purposefully westward. The old conductor, making his rounds, took himself past a small car normally used for transporting the more expensive cargo, like jewelry and fancy European goods earmarked for the San Francisco shops, but on this trip it held ten passengers. Children, orphans from one of the large Eastern cities, were headed towards the promise of families.
Not every child in the car was asleep. The old man heard a tiny whisper from one of the youngsters, barely heard over the clacking of the train's wheels.
"Vin?" He listened for a moment longer, concerned that one of the orphans might be in distress, but moved on when things seemed okay.
"Yes, JD." Vin waited as patiently as his seven years would allow.
"Vin, do you think I could have a pony?" Five year old JD Dunne wriggled closer to his older cousin, trying to get comfortable.

First story in the Little Britches universe; where Vin and JD are orphaned children being raised by Chris and Buck.- Bookmarks:

Tim was out for a walk (stalking Batman and Robin) when he came across a famous face.
Harley Quinn was waving at him with a grin from her perch.

Summary
This is a story about misery. But, mostly, it’s a story about joy, and learning how to choose it.
Or, Eddie reckons with returning to a place that makes him miserable, for a kid that makes him whole. There he finds his sisters, a blast from the past, and permission to choose his future.
