Another Life (What Should have Been a Dream) by TheQueen
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
26 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
Waking up in a strange bed under a ceiling he doesn’t recognize is not on his To Do list that fine Saturday morning. But considering the way his life has been going since he was nine, that feels about par for the course.
Waking up to his dead mother’s face, more aged and refined and as beautiful as he remembers, should be something he can compartmentalize. He’s had enough run-ins with time travel and dimension travel and time loops to fill a sci-fi section in the world’s largest library. It doesn’t keep it from hurting though.

Summary
There’s only been one reported crime they had to go deal with. (a man trying to rob a bank with an unloaded gun, really?) So, the tower should be loud; everybody is there minding their business. However, it’s completely silent. Five teenagers who usually make lots of noise going quiet is never a good thing.
hi hi hi!! first fic (I dont know what im doing) and i dont know if ill ever update this! have fun (this is solely for myself and its PURE crack, read at ur own risk) i cant write.

Summary
Reborn into a world of shadowy vigilantes, men of steel, champions, warriors, kings, and demi-gods… Medha sets out to try and not only survive but thrive in a world where alien invasions and world ending events are common enough to lose track of which one is happening this week. All while trying to figure out even which continuity he is part of and how he can make the best of it for himself. If he happens to help out a few teens along the way, break a few curses, spark debates on his humanity, and pick up a baby bird well… he's just fine with that so long as no one looks too close at his methods.
A/N: I am going to try and include a lot of at least mention of canon events / fanon interpretations but as I haven't actually read most of the comics I make no promises. (edit: I am in the process of reading them though) - It will focus mostly on Batfam, Gotham, Teen Titans, and Shazam (/Shazfam)

Summary
He turned to his mama—always behind him in these dreams, ready to sweep him into her arms and kiss his face and tell him what a great job he did—and saw a scrappy, terrified child standing in her place.
“Woah,” Dick said, his arms flattering. The kid looked horrified, body shaking and hands gripping the center pole hard enough to make his knuckles white. “How’d you get up here?”
“I—I dunno,” the kid forced out, fingers twitching around the pole. He had an accent Dick didn’t recognize, something loose and heavy. “I went ta' bed. Swear I did.” He paused, eyebrows furrowing down low. “M'bed on the ground.”
--
Dick Grayson and Jason Todd are soulmates in every sense of the word. Too bad they both think the other is just a dream.

What Good Is All This Talk of Wings When There Is Nothing Left Above? by AddyBby
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Nightwing (Comics)
01 Oct 2025

Summary
The huffy laugh Dick manages to force out sounds a little too hurt for his liking. “This is a weird game, Bryan. Can you let me down and we’ll talk about it?”
“And miss the big show?” Bryan puts a little too much effort into sounding disappointed, the bastard.

Summary
Dick Grayson, young and still learning to navigate the tangles of grief, begins to see the cracks in the façade of ‘fine’ that Bruce maintains.
After a lifetime searching for an undertaking that will give him meaning, he has decided to embark on his greatest mission yet: making Bruce Wayne happy. Really, truly, properly happy.
He is convinced he is failing— namely because he can’t figure out what “real” happiness looks like on Bruce and goes with the safer answer of… it’s all fake.
Enter Superman: Hero, Journalist, Answer to his prayers. And, if his new and revised plan succeeds… his future step-father?
…
Batman is not in love with Superman. He isn’t, stop looking at him like that! But his 9 year old seems to be under the assumption that they’re dating and Bruce… well Bruce can’t break his heart. Why don’t his parenting books ever cover this crap?!
…
Clark? Clark is a bit confused, to say the least, because his best friend’s son is calling him papa and his best friend is… playing along? (Did they start dating without him realising? Surely not??) Oh well… There are worse things in the world than Bruce Wayne looking at you like he wants to kiss you. Sigh if only it were real…

Summary
A vigilante father, a thief mother, and an intuitive, acrobatic son.
When Gotham is on the brink of an all-out gang war, Bruce knows the city is about to be plunged into chaos. Between crooked cops and a malfeasant mayor; there's no telling who would pick up the pieces after the dominos fall. The Bat's mission? To ensure that the wrong people face the right justice; to save Gotham from both the criminals he can see, and the ones ruling from the darkness...
There's no time for a 'real family' as far as he's concerned. -

Summary
Sometimes love is complicated. Sometimes it hurts.
Dick Grayson sees Damian and remembers Johnny—the cousin who was a brother, a teacher, a light in a dark world. Damian, trained to kill, sharp and unyielding, hides tenderness beneath a layer of survival instinct. Between violence and compassion, circus tents and graves, Dick finds a way to pass forward the lessons Johnny once taught him: to trust, to laugh, to love without fear. A story of family, legacy, and the quiet threads that bind us across time, loss, and hearts that refuse to break. -

Summary
Bruce didn’t want to wake up.
The simple act of opening his eyes took monumental strength and getting ready for the day felt like an overwhelming task.
Sometimes he didn’t even get up at all. He just couldn’t do it, and no one (not even Alfred) could get him out of bed.Or
Bruce is alone, until he isn't

Summary
Robin seemed to take that as his cue, crawling back out of the cape. He ignored Rachel’s horrified noise, sticking his toes between the top of Batman’s tool belt and the Kevlar beneath. A quick, twisting jump, and he was perched on one of Bruce’s shoulders.
“Lying’s illegal, you know, Miss Caspian.” He pulled a knee up, rested his chin on it.
She was staring at him, mouth open.
“What— no it’s— who are you??”
“Robin.”
She turned her accusing glare on Batman.
“What the hell?”
“This is Robin.”
Or; The Batman gets a robin and they gradually evolve together.

Summary
Mr Michelson answered his phone almost immediately, before Bruce had had time to think about what he was doing and what he was supposed to start with.
So he just blurted out: “How do you adopt someone?”
That was followed by a surprised silence and Bruce thought he could hear the lawyer readjusting his mental gear to deal with the question and its implications. Then, slowly and carefully he asked, with a hint of suspicion in his voice: “Mister Wayne, are you by any chance planning on adopting someone?”Or, Bruce was about to become a lonesome vigilante but suddenly there is a child clinging to him and he can't just leave the kid alone.
