  Summary

  I was working on other stories but this thought came to me and I just had to do something with it.
  After having some encouragement to go on with this and gaining in readership, I've changed its stand alone fic status now.
  This is a 'What If' sort of AU.

  Summary

  Even though I started a new Nightwing series, I wanted to do a short stand alone.
  I know I've mentioned it in a few of my past stories that Jason and Tim weren't my fav characters, even if I do include them at times.
  However, this story does focus more on Jason and his issues with Bruce.
  Also, small reference to Bludhaven as Chemo never happened in my world.

  Notes at bottom may contain spoilers for those not familiar with what's been happening in the Bat family.

  • with King Louis... Anne Treville...the Inseparables... and perhaps others popping in from time-to-time
  • Oh yes... the two main gentlemen who will also feature in this are: Joseph de La Vieuville and François Leclerc du Tremblay
  • Again rated Teen & Up since I never know how much violence will be in my story

  Summary

  This story refers to a character in my previous work: Mascarade (https://archiveofourown.org/works/57485092/chapters/146254717).
  It's not quite a sequel so could be read just by itself. If you haven't read Mascarade and want too, please do so.
  Having said that, a reminder that d'Artagnan's age is somewhere between seventeen and eighteen. King Louis is around twenty. Lt. Dashiell is around twenty-four to twenty-five.
  The story basically will revolve around a so-called good friend of Richelieu's turning out to be a double agent. Shudder the thought!
  The First Minister will be bringing Lieutenant Dashiell and Charles d'Artagnan along for the ride.

  • Dick Grayson|Nightwing
  • Bruce Wayne|Batman
  • Damian Wayne|Robin
  • Tim Drake|Red Robin
  • Jason Todd|Red Hood
  • Alfred Pennyworth|Agent A or Penny-One
  • Other Bat Family members to make appearances along with JL members too
  • and also making appearances will be Ra's al Ghul
  • oh yeah Slade Wilson will be in the picture too
  • I also forgot to mention that William Cobb (Dick's Great-Grandfather and Talon) will be showing up as well
  • Little Grayson is approximately 5 years old and of course the Court of Owls had been involved
  • / also changed the rating as I'm not sure how much violence if any will be in this

  Summary

  We start with some members of the JL being held prisoner by a few Talons. A rescue takes place along with a small surprise gifted to Nightwing, courtesy of said Talons. Basically this story deals with the Court of Owls having cloned Dick Grayson and how he, and his family, deal with a tiny version of the acrobat who appears to not have been turned into one of the Court's soldiers.
  Also in this one Bruce actually adopted Dick and is a good Bat dad.

  Summary

  Translates to: Masquerade: A Royal Mystery.
  This comes from me reading too many cozy mystery stories. Ha!
  Playing fast and loose again with history as I once again bring you a young King Louis and his best friend Charles d'Artagnan. Louis is about twenty years old in this and Charles somewhere between seventeen/eighteen.
  Now Marie de' Medici was exiled by Louis when he'd been only sixteen. I've thrown all that out and we'll pretend all is normal between them, whether she appears in this or not.
  Our young Gascon has lived with the de Trevilles after the death of Alexandre d'Artagnan. In this story however Alexandre passed away when Charles had been quite young. Therefore, majority of raising him fell to Jean-Armand who had known the boy's father well. I've had Treville be Charle's uncle in another of my stories before but never included his wife Anne.
  Again, not sure where I'm going with this but thought it'd be fun.
  Also, rated it teen & up as I'm never sure how much violence I may put in the story.

  As always, if this image disappears, Postimages where I have them uploaded may be down, etc.
