Summary
For as long as Wally could remember he was told stories of mermaids. Stories of their ethereal beauty and overpowering allure, but also their viciousness and danger to any and all who had the misfortune of encountering them. Sure there are some who are said to tolerate sailors if they’re respectful enough, maybe even help them if they’re offered something in return, but they were few and far between. Most used their beauty to lure sailors in, singing about a heart's deepest and truest desire to draw them towards the waves, only to shift once their victim is close enough, becoming monstrous and deadly in a blink, dragging the sailor to the depths of the sea with needle like teeth and nails that shred through flesh like butter to feast on their corpse.
Despite the horrific tales he was told, he still wanted to meet one.TLDR; A story about the residents of Watchtower Island and their life changing encounters with a pod of sirens.

more viciousat fighting (concerningly so), and...wait...why do they have dinosaurs? Why did Tim just kill Jason!? What is going on, and what are the consequences of their mysterious journey? Will Gotham ever be the same?Or:

All that Jason and Tim are game for is raining their unique brand of chaos and fun onto Gotham's unsuspecting populations, consequences be damned. It's not their fault that Bruce is crying and Dick looks about one wrong move away from growing gray hairs. Get with the program!

the lie in temporary by Chubby_P1nk, Take_Me_To_My_Fragile_Dreams, WindyEngel

Summary
Phantom’s claws tighten against Tim’s back in subtle warning. His voice slides through the air, velvet and steel all at once: "Pleased to see me… and my Temporary Consort."
The word lands like thunder.
Tim freezes. Consort. It's exactly what he was aiming for when he propositioned Phantom the night before and still, to hear it out loud feels final. He's taken a step out into the unknown and has yet to find if there's something there to actually support him.
The shift in the air is immediate—murmurs, restrained outrage, a spike of cold hostility that presses in from every side.
Phantom only smiles wider, lowering his head until his lips brush Tim’s ear. His whisper is a growl, a caress, a threat all in one. "Stand tall, little bird. Let them look… and know you are mine."

Or the story of how High King Phantom met his High Consort and the journey between Temporary and Permanent.

Summary
Hal.exe stopped working. This child, this Sparrow, was THE Sparrow? Like the Champion of Predator, Wielder of Violet Light, Paragon of Love, Sparrow? The Star Sapphire with ‘rings for eyes’ that Kilowog, Green Lantern 1-9-8-6, was always going on and on about? The individual Carol, Star Sapphire 1-9-6-2, was always saying was a 'stain’ against the Zamaron’s Star Sapphires Corps?
But they were just an itty bitty little baby.
“You’re joking right” he teased assuming this was just Sinestro trying his hand at humor “please tell me your joking. Surely a 6 year old human child isn’t THE Sparrow”
“You are correct” Sinestro agreed flatly a small smile forming upon his face as Hal relaxed at his response “a 6 year old human child is not THE Sparrow”
“Oh thank-“ Hal started only to get cut off as Sinestro finished his thoughts.
“It is my understanding that the child is only 4 and a half”
OR
Tim Drake becomes a Star Sapphire shortly after watching the Flying Graysons fall. This has consequences.

Summary
“And Lastly, the thought that caused ice to course through his veins, Drake had taken revenge against Brown for filling a briefcase with glitter. Although the act most certainly caused Drake embarrassment, if not complete humiliation, in front of his subordinates at WE. Still, however he did it, which Damian begrudgingly respected the skill and dedication needed to pull off revenge of this magnitude, he did give one of his ‘best friends’, as they called themselves, an allergy to something she held so obviously dear. Damian recalled all the cards, trinkets, and gifts Brown had given him over the years covered in the colored specks of plastic. The ‘just-desserts’ parallels of the incident at WE and the allergy to glitter were not lost on him. Damian was equal parts impressed and concerned at how well thought out this was.
If Drake would take his revenge as far as biological warfare towards someone he regarded as family, for something arguably benign, how far would he go against someone he wasn’t close to?
Someone he thought hated him?
Someone who tried to kill him?
How exactly would Drake enact his revenge on Damian himself?”
