The Best Birthday by Bayfire

Summary
In which Dick gets carried away with plans for Bruce’s birthday and spends the whole day worrying that Bruce has it out for him. Bruce, being completely honest, in a tone that sometimes makes him seem sarcastic, has no idea why Dick is acting so shifty. Alfred may or may not have something to do with it. Completely silly one shot written for Batman Day. Set in and after my The Batman: Into the Light universe but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
After Dick Grayson witnessed the deaths of his parents, an unprepared, reclusive, and slightly awkward billionaire decides to take him in. Bruce sees so much of himself in the boy, but doesn’t know how to raise him right, and without Alfred he’d be hopeless. Bruce, vowing that Dick won’t share his own fate, instead decides to seek justice on his ward’s behalf. The mystery of who murdered the Graysons keeps both boy and vigilante on the hunt for the killer, though Bruce tries to keep Dick out of it. Stranger still is the looming feeling that their murders weren’t entirely senseless.
Features mystery/noir elements, as well as some fluffy silliness. Takes place right after The Batman 2022.

Summary
After Sean’s death, Mary Beth asks Arthur to take her on a hunting trip, somewhere far away. What takes place at first is a simple love story: full of trials and journeys that they must endure together, as a team. But over time, things complicate. The gang is in trouble, and as Arthur and Mary Beth aim to set out on their own one day, they must find a way to help those they love while eventually, finding escape. Their ultimate goal is to go north with the Marstons, to find the bucolic stretches of Wisconsin where, rumor has it, there are lily farms. Will they make it? How will they survive when all hope seems lost? This is their story.

Summary
“Just because the Bat has good intentions doesn’t mean he can operate without supervision or consequence,” Jim says slowly, unsure of how else to explain to an elementary schooler that beating up criminals in a furry costume shouldn’t be encouraged.
Barbara leans into his side. “What if you supervised him?”
“What?” Jim blinks. “Babs, I don’t even know who the guy is,” he points out.
Her eyes widen and a delighted gasp leaves her lips. “Oh! We should figure it out! Together!"
~_~
Featuring unmasking vigilantes as a father-daughter bonding activity, awkward small talk between two dads (both at crime scenes and PTA meetings), and Babs and Dick’s natural progression from classmates to besties in the name of chaos.
~_~
This is a direct sequel to I’m a Good Pretender but can be read as a stand alone.

Summary
There’s nothing particularly remarkable about Sullust.
Well, except for Obi-Wan’s time-traveling son. But, you know. Apart from that.Or, baby-Luke-raised-by-Ben-Kenobi shows up in the middle of the Clone Wars, causes Anakin and Obi-Wan to put two and two together and get forty-five, and in the process inspires a series of heartfelt conversations that may or may not avert the terrible future he’s from.

Summary
When Harry blows up Aunt Marge, Dumbledore decides he can't be left to his own devices in Diagon Alley for the whole of August and sends him to stay with the only person available - one highly displeased Severus Snape. Harry, for his part, doesn't think this summer could get any worse. After all, what could be more unpleasant than living with Professor Snape?
Finding out that Draco Malfoy is also staying at Spinner’s End, of course.
None of them know how they'll survive a month in each others' company, but they might just come out the other side with something they all need the most: a family.

Chapter 21
Excellent characterization and intriguing story. Has plenty of depth and a respect for the source material, in the sense that it’s consistent with the tone/characterization.

Summary
Abandoned.
This is a sequel following directly after The Great Nightbird and the Osprey, which is character-driven romance exploring the ways in which Erik and Éponine both complement and brilliantly contrast each other.
Highly do not recommend reading this until you have read the first one. It won't make any sense or be a good time, I promise you. If you're only going to read one, read the first one.

Chapter 55
On hiatus :( But looking forward to seeing where it continues :)
Sequel to “The Great Nightbird and the Osprey”, a fantastic crossover story of Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera, which features an underrepresented pairing of The Phantom/Erik and Éponine (works so well in this story).
Can’t wait to see where this goes!
