Not a Weapon, Not a Tool, Not a Soldier (But a Secret Fourth Thing) by Hawaiianpurplewolf

Summary
Damian was confused.
Damian prided himself on not being confused very often; it was unbecoming of the Heir of the Demon to misunderstand anything. He trained incessantly, to remember everything he was supposed to do and when he was supposed to do it, and what he was supposed to know and how to use that knowledge. His knowledge had never truly failed him before.
That is, it had never truly failed him in Nanda Parbat. Gotham, on the other hand, was a completely different monster, and Damian was… struggling.
Not failing. Never failing. Failing was one thing that the Ibn al Xu’ffasch could not do. Struggling was embarrassing enough.But it had become increasingly clear over the last few days that Damian had misunderstood – no, he had been misinformed of – his place in his Father’s household.

Summary
“Don’t go to Ethiopia,” the boy repeats. “Please don’t go there. Don’t try to find your mom—”
Jason stops tugging. “Wait. What do you mean by that? My mom is dead. She died of an overdose.”
The boy gapes, only for a second, before slamming his mouth shut. “I’ve said too much.”
“No,” Jason says, voice low in warning. “You haven’t said enough.”

Summary
Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this.
From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode.
The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans.
All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything.
Bruce couldn’t let that happen.
Not then, not ever again.

Bruce is trying his best to protect the city that he loves. He doesn't know how exactly his Robins came to be- they're not fully human, not even at all. All he knows is that he wants to keep them safe.

Summary
After a very awkward car ride with a heat drunk Dean, Sam and Cas successfully deliver Dean to Bobby Singer's to finish out his heat.
Dean, mostly sober and mortified, would like nothing more than for Cas to help him through it. And while Cas seems eager to please, Bobby and Sam are not so thrilled with the idea.
(A second installment of Aftercare. I recommend reading the previous part as I do reference multiple scenes from it throughout this fic)

Summary
It’s part of what led to their arrangement in the first place, Sirius had once confided in him towards the end of seventh year that he’d wanked himself raw trying to get off and still hadn’t managed to come, as well as being unable to find a bed partner due to his frankly absurd stamina. That conversation kept playing on a loop in his mind over the next year, through watching Sirius have a string of unsatisfying hookups while constantly requesting that they become flatmates, and when he’d finally given in to saying yes he had offered him a proposition.
Remus would move in with him, and in lieu of rent payments his body was free to use at any time, in any way that Sirius wanted, with a one week trial run to make sure that they were sexually compatible.
It turns out that they are.

Jason Todd is Absolutely Definitely 100% Not A Batfamily Member by LakeAwen

Summary
6 times Jason Todd took care of his fa- er, mortal enemies, and 1 time his family took care of him.
Basically a series of one-shots about Jason returning to the Batfamily.“Does Batman know you haven’t slept in 68 hours? Or that your parents aren’t here? Or that you apparently hallucinate me on a regular basis?”
“Pshh,” Tim waved a hand. “Batman doesn’t sleep. And we all hallucinate you.”
Jason covered his face with both hands. “Okay. I’m not…” He couldn’t beat this kid up. It would be like stepping on an overcooked spaghetti noodle and calling it a fair fight. -

Summary
Maybe he doesn’t have a filter because of how tired he is, his mind too chemically addled to properly stop and think. Maybe he wants to keep an eye on Clark, make sure Superman heals and recovers fully, rather than have him shower here at the Hall and send him on his way. Maybe—
Maybe he doesn’t want to be apart from him, and maybe he wants to take care of him, and maybe he wants to be taken care of by him, and maybe he’s just drained enough and just foolish enough and just good enough at making up excuses that this was going to be inevitable anyway.
Whatever reason it is— whatever combination of reasons, most likely— the outcome is the same.
“Come home with me,” Bruce offers.
or: bruce and clark have been fighting monsters as batman and superman for over two days. they're hungry, filthy, and exhausted— so, bruce thinks it only makes sense to invite clark over to the manor to eat, take a bath together, and sleep.

Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

It’s been a long two days of catching John up on everything he missed. Well, almost everything. There are things Dean was trying to keep to himself. And then he doesn’t get to hide it anymore when a stop in the kitchen for a midnight snack exposes everything.Or
The one where a midnight snack leads to Dean being caught in a *compromising* position by his newly un-dead father. And a whole mess of miscommunication and misunderstandings leads to punches being thrown.PS. I have not actually SEEN episode 300 so if you have seen the promo- this is SPOILER free!

Summary
Apparently, it’s all very simple. Bruce offers him access to an apartment, a warm body, and privacy.
Clark would love to say that he doesn’t understand what’s being offered but he does. He isn’t stupid, and Bruce does seem to fit a certain personality type, though until this moment Clark’s never believed him truly capable of acting on it.
And then he wonders at the kind of man Bruce would keep.
