Murphy's Law with a Happy Ending by FromDustReturned, HermesDay
Fandom: Batman (Comics), Batman - All Media Types, DCU, DCU (Comics), Marvel Cinematic Universe
22 Jun 2025
Summary
A story told in three parts (because what could possibly go wrong?)
Part 1: A Catastrophic Idea
Someone thought, once upon a time, that it would be a good idea to introduce Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne. A friendship is formed through trial and error, and the repercussions span decades.Part 2: That Could Have Been Avoided
Peter Parker and Dick Grayson have a lot to learn, and where better than the streets of New York and the alleys of Gotham? Throw Jason Todd and Barbara Gordon into the mix, as well as a few good old-fashioned apocolypses, and the world will never be the same.Part 3: Mutually Assured Destruction
Damian and Morgan are friends. Jason is dead, Peter doesn't exist, Dick is spiraling, and Tim is slowly piecing together a puzzle that could tear them all apart. (Meanwhile MJ just wants to finish her thesis, Ned decides to hack a spaceship, and Barbara is in way over her head).- Words:

Summary
Dec 10: Media / "It was a dark and stormy night"
It was a dark and stormy night when I finally toppled off my plinth. Yeah, yeah, you’d think an ancient evil would manage a smoother awakening than that, but I got rusted to the screws. Go figure.

...
I need all the endings. I need endings 1-4. I need ending 5. I need a sixth ending where their governor modules are hacked and these two SecUnits get to send each other memes and talk about the weather and acknowledge each other to their hearts content
