    Summary

    Six months ago, Renegade broke free from his master. He’d had no home. No family. Had learned nothing beyond what he'd needed to be a predator.
    Now free, he has vowed to use those skills to help instead of hurt.

    Only Nightwing really shouldn't have picked Blüdhaven for his debut. The neighbors in Gotham are kinda... a lot.

    Like, A LOT a lot.

    Dick joins the batfam fashionably late.

    Summary

    As he refused to be coddled, Damian hissed at anyone who dared to come near him.

    Duke, on the other hand, was preening under the barrage of compliments and coos bestowed upon him.

    “You're such a brave little lion.” Dick praised, scratching the top of Duke's head.

    Duke chirped as if to say 'I know.'

    What an embarrassment.

    -

    Duke and Damian get turned into baby felines. Chaos ensues.

    Summary

    Richard Grayson was never supposed to be King. That had been the agreement, when Bruce took a Romani boy from a travelling circus in as his ward. He would not—could not—be Bruce's heir.

    But now that Bruce is dead and Dick is left scrambling to protect his family from the whims of Gotham's Court, Dick might just have to make history.

    Summary

    In a world of scientifically proven psychic abilities, the practitioners - the so-called Talents - are called on to serve the public good. This is never more true than in Gotham, where the Wayne Parapsychic Institute works diligently for justice and peace in what is otherwise a mecca of rogue Talents. Bruce Wayne is one of the most powerful Talents on record; a Prime. So are all his children. All, that is, except for Tim Drake; a winged donkey to their high-flying Pegasus. Fed up with the constant reminders that he will never be able to catch up to their flight into the stars and beyond, he leaves.

    Trying to put the shattered pieces of his life together, he comes across Jason Todd; former member of the Wayne Parapsychic Institute and a powerhouse in terms of Talent, alive in an asylum years after everyone assumed him dead.

    Tim is determined to help Jason find a way back. Jason might end up teaching him a way forward.

    Summary

    “You’re not making any sense, bud. Come on, loop me in, here. What’s going on?”
    Tim laughs. It’s a jaded sound, bitter and flat, but it morphs at the end into something closer to delirious. It doesn't sound anything like him. Something is wrong with Tim. “Loop. That’s the problem. Over and over and over and over and over and--

    -- --
    Tim was stuck in a time loop. Tim was stuck in a time loop for a very, very long time.

    Summary

    Conner had a pretty good life, all things considered. He wouldn't necessarily call it a great life, but it was good enough.
    Sure, living alone at Mount Justice with only a robot for company could get lonely sometimes, but he had his independence, his freedom from Lex, and his teammates on Young Justice.

    Unfortunately, no matter how content he was with his life, he could never quite shake the way he ached for Superman's approval. The way his insides twisted when his mistakes were met with harsh words and punishing hands. The way jealousy sunk its claws in deep every time he had to watch Superman and Jon interact. Still, he had a pretty good life, and that was all he needed.

    But when an accident ends with Conner being thrown through a wall and Superman learning that his clone isn't quite as tough as he seems, that pretty good life comes crashing down around his shoulders. Superman insists these changes are for the best, that he's trying to make amends and help, but Conner isn't so sure. Not that anybody ever seemed to care what he thought.

    At least Jon had a pretty cool video game collection. Maybe living with the Kents wouldn't be so bad.

    Summary

    "Crap!" the food truck worker shrieks in alarm. "Don't hurt him, Superman, he's just a kid!"

    Clark . . . pauses, then looks up from the kid that he is currently pinning into the street as said kid struggles underneath him.

    "'Hurt him'?" he asks in reflexive confusion, and then realizes how batting a teenager around like a person-shaped cat toy and pinning him to the street hard enough to crack it probably actually looks to an outside observer.

    . . . um.

    Whoops.

    "Um," he starts awkwardly, and then the kid slips his pin while he's distracted and throws his arms around his neck with a gleeful laugh and a bright grin.

    "Dad!" he crows triumphantly, and hugs Clark harder than literally anyone has ever hugged him before.

    Summary

    When Jason Todd was six years old, he nearly drowned. He never did learn how to swim, after that. Until it was too late.

    The Lazarus Pit didn’t feel like floating, like a warm bath, like a new chance at life.

    It felt like drowning, over and over again with no hope of rest even in death.

    Summary

    Reconciliation is a process that takes time. Sometimes not quite as much time as you'd think.

    There's an emotional throughline of developing character dynamics over the course of the series, but I've written the vast majority of the stories to be self-contained plot-wise. There's no required reading order if you want to jump around to ones that catch your interest, though I do recommend starting with the first one for background.

    Alternate universes suck so much. Tim has always known that, but he’s never really grasped it, not until he and Dick were forcibly thrown into one a week ago.

    Summary

    Light footsteps, soft rustling of fabric. A thump against one of the other doors in the hall, like a foot or an elbow, followed by a quietly snarled curse.

    Damian lets out an irritated sigh.

    He jerks the door the rest of the way open, fixing a glare into the dim light of the hall. “It is four in the morning,” he hisses at the small shadow now frozen in the doorway across and one down from his own, wide eyes staring back at him in the moonlight. “You understand that the time after patrol is intended to be for sleep?

    Todd hunches his shoulders. Were he a cat, his back would be puffed up defensively. “Then go to bed,” he hisses. “It’s not my fault you have freaky bat hearing!” His eyes dart nervously towards Father’s door at the end of the hallway.

    Summary

    I felt for Ric, and the new Robin, but I would not stay here. I would not be pinned up like a bug, worshipped like a fetish, all to soothe the guilty mind of the man I could only assume had gotten me killed.

     

    Bruce, no last name, escapes from the hospital after surviving a car crash. All he has is his name, his body, and the vague feeling that something isn't right. All he knows is that Gotham will eat him alive if he doesn't take the first bite. Landing a job with Two-Face is his first step, quickly spiralling out of control as the Something in his mind gives him skills far beyond his age. Skills that kill Gotham's worst of the worst, skills that attract a Bat and its brood.

    He wanted a quiet life, but it's Gotham. Bruce is plunged head-first into the search for a dead-boy and into fights to separate himself from an identity others want to drown him in.

    Summary

    He has never argued with a punishment, not since he was a toddler, if then. Surely she’ll listen, surely she’ll see this is too harsh, that he wouldn’t be disrespecting her like this if he was simply sulking over not getting his way. He needs that food, needs to be able to eat enough if he wants to be Robin.

    He’s been hungry before, but back then, it never mattered if he was a little weak or dizzy. It never risked his life or the life of his partner when he was a kid.

    She turns, sighing softly and pursing her lips. She reaches out to pat his cheek, and for a moment his heart soars hopefully, and he barely restrains himself from leaning into the rare bit of contact and soaking up his mother’s touch. “Oh, Timothy,” she tuts. “This is for the best. And honestly, I think it’s wise for you to cut down a bit on the snacks. I’d hate to have to listen to anyone tittering at the next gala that you’re getting chubby.”

    And without another backwards glance, she turns and heads upstairs, leaving Tim alone and frozen at the bottom of the steps.
