Two Birds on a Wire by OliOcelot
Fandom: Batman - All Media Types, Criminal Minds (US TV), DCU
31 Dec 2024
Summary
Jason Todd and Spencer Reid, two children who should have never met and yet against all odds find themselves as brothers.
One abandoned to the streets of Gotham in the wake of his mother’s death, the other finding it a safe haven in his escape from a broken home. Together, they survive the darkest corners of Crime Alley - until a mistake is made and a Bat stumbles upon not one but two boys in need of a better home.
Now, as adults, Spencer Reid works with the Behavioral Analysis Unit while keeping in touch with his family back in Gotham, and Jason Todd leads a life as the Red Hood - with a Bat proudly displayed on his chest. These two things have absolutely everything to do with one another.

Summary
He tried. He kept trying. He reached out, again and again, but no one was reaching back. No one noticed.
Until, eventually, he couldn't try anymore.
It was all as it should be.
Bruce had become a better father. A better man.
But not everything could change.
That, Tim thought, was why Bruce never called him his son.
Because at the end of the day, even if Tim considered him his father, he would never be Bruce’s son.

Summary
“I’m going to ask you a question and I need you to tell the truth for me. Is that okay?” Nightwing asked softly.
Tim nodded.
“Have you heard of Alvin Draper before?”
Before he could stop himself Tim was taking in a sharp breath that sounded almost pained.
One of his men must have talked, he supposed that’s what you got when you hire anyone who’s interested, but it still hurt. Maybe he should create proper profiles on all of them once this is done so he can deduce who’s trustworthy and who isn’t.
“No,” Tim said, although he was aware how obviously it was a lie.
Or: Tim accidentally becomes a crime lord.

Summary
Jason Todd is Batman.
Jason Todd was never supposed to be Batman.
Jason Todd never wanted to be Batman.
(Or, in a depressing-but-not-entirely-terrible future, Jason Todd is the third “official” Batman after the deaths of Bruce and his brothers. Getting into his old age and diagnosed with a terminal disease, he passes on the Cowl to his chosen successor, Terry McGinnis, and spends his last years in peace.
And then wakes up on the day Talia threw him into the Lazarus Pit.
Death called it a gift. Jason can only hope to make the most of it.)

Summary
Jason was not the biggest fan of Tim, but it was clear that he didn’t hate him anymore. And if he didn’t hate him anymore, Tim could get him to love him. Right?
By his own carefully determined calculations, Tim could achieve this goal in 90 days or less. Day one started tomorrow morning with a surprise breakfast donut and an invitation to go watch the birds.
Or that time Tim was determined to be brothers and Jason was determined to be resistant and confused.

Summary
"Wordlessly, and slowly, Bruce takes one breath after another, composing himself. He hands Jason the slightly crumpled sheet of paper. Jason reads it quickly. Quicker than Bruce, but he reads it again and again and again. Finally snapping with panicked urgency, 'What the fuck is this?'
Bruce, completely devoid of any inflection, forces himself to simply state the facts in front of him. 'That is Red Robin’s two week notice.'"
Or
Tim really thought leaving would be a lot easier. Both figuratively and literally.

Summary
Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.
When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.
But most of all, Tim is alone.
(If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

Summary
“Jason has just calmed down from the spike of anger when Tim comes back into the main room after changing out of his school uniform. Jason looks up and freezes.
There’s a purpling bruise on Tim’s neck. The shape of the bruise is undeniably that of a hand, a large one. The bruise looks a few days old, but it is more than dark enough for Jason to know Tim must have been covering it with makeup. But now the makeup is wiped away to reveal angry purple and blue with a halo of red around the edges. On his neck, his delicate, fragile neck, someone put their hands on his baby brother’s neck—"
#
Almost a year after Hood attacked Robin at Titans Tower and four months since he agreed to stop killing, Jason struggles to cope with the horrific violence he inflicted on Tim now that he has the Pit under control. Well. Mostly under control.
Featuring Robin!Tim as a touch-starved bean with no self-worth and Nightwing!Dick as the only Bat with an emotional braincell.

Summary
The older boy came into view with the candlelight. At first she had thought it was just him, but she realized sooner that he was carrying a little bundled wrap. He was carrying a younger boy, and he angled himself so Bilba could glimpse the smaller child’s face.
The young one was barely more than a toddler, cheeks streaked with mud and a faint trace of tear tracks. Beneath the grime, he looked flushed, a feverish sheen to his skin.
“He is sick,” The older boy whispered, blue eyes wide with desperation. “I-I don’t know what to do.”

Summary
Clark kicks his feet the entire rest of his way back to the Planet, spinning gunshots and grandfathers and conversations between kids who don’t know any better through his mind until Lois’s coffee is practically cold.
Wrong place, wrong time.
Just got in the way.
He grits his teeth as the elevator doors to the Planet slide closed in front of him.
“Tell him nothing, Superman.”
That wasn’t how it happened.

Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

“I just thought since your Bobby taught you, maybe you could teach me,” Chris shrugs.
“Yeah,” Buck breathes. “Yeah, I’d love to do that.”
Chris nods once, happy with the answer. “Can we do mac n cheese next?”
“Uh uh uh!” Buck tuts. “There’s a system. We start with breakfast.”Or, Buck passes Bobby's recipes down to Chris and finds a whole lot of other things in the process.

It’s a stupid decision, but with Chris and Eddie in his head, on his mind at all times he makes the appointment without hesitation.
But when it’s done, when his skin feels raw, his thigh almost shaking with it he finally gets to look at it and it’s everything he wanted. Without shame he tears up right there in front of the mirror and his artist pats his arm and asks what he thinks.
“It’s perfect.” Buck rasps

Summary
Mel’s third-favorite scene in Dirty Dancing is only a second long. It’s when Johnny jumps off the stage during the final dance and flips his head up right on cue with the singer crooning “Hey, baby!”
So it was very distracting that, for the rest of the day after her karaoke session with Myrna, Frank had been quietly singing those two words to her every time they ran into each other. A “Hey baby!” when he slid into the chair next to her in the breakroom. Another when they met in the middle both jogging to an ambulance.
She couldn’t help but laugh every time he did it which, knowing Frank, meant he’d probably do it tomorrow, and the next day, and the next.

Summary
Buck glances beyond his laptop, over to Eddie. Specifically, the hand Eddie has laid out on the table, between them. He’s so caught up in this world that exists predominantly in his mind — partially on the screen in front of him — that he barely thinks before he’s reaching out to grab a hold of Eddie’s hand. Testing a grip, and thinking of what exactly he can feel.
The warmth of Eddie’s hand, and the ridges of his knuckles, the way he moves just slightly in surprise.
“Um. Buck?”
Buck snaps out of his writing mind-fog, cheeks heating as he looks at the hand he’s got on Eddie’s — thumb tucked under his palm, which is definitely too intimate for this early scene — then up to meet Eddie’s gaze.
He looks mostly amused, but a little confused too, and he’s still lit up by that sun, so beautiful it kind of hurts.
Or: Buck starts writing a book. Eddie helps.
