Summary
He hesitantly opens his eyes, bracing himself for whatever disaster Bart has planned, but—oh.
“Happy birthday, Thad.” In Bart’s hand is a cupcake with a birthday candle stuck in the frosting, the flame illuminating the broad smile on his face. Thad stares, his eyes wide.
(or; it's the boys' birthday!)

Summary
Bart thinks he’s being watched.
Scratch that. He knows he’s being watched. He can feel eyes on his back when he heads to school in the morning, when he’s playing with Dox in the backyard, even when he’s sitting in the living room playing video games. Sometimes, if he turns around quick enough, he can just barely catch something moving out of his line of sight. Moving with superspeed.
It’s been a week since Bart had to rescue Max in the Speed Force. A week since Inertia disappeared. Bart’s not stupid. He knows what’s going on.
(or; thaddeus accepts max's offer, even if it takes a while.)

Summary
After sacrificing himself for the universe during the events of the Flashpoint Paradox, Bart resumes his existence in the afterlife. Everything’s boring, nothing’s real, and there’s a shadow blob thing who won’t leave him alone.

Sunshine in the Rearview Mirror by SleepySpeedster
Fandoms: Impulse (Comics), The Flash (Comics), DCU (Comics), DCU

Summary
Set three years after the conclusion of Impulse, it's summer in Manchester, Alabama once again. Preston Lindsay, now eighteen years old and enjoying his last summer before college begins, finds himself once again reminiscing on the past and on Bart Allen. Three years and there's been no word from his best friend. But one day he reappears and neither Preston or Bart are the same again.
The voice drew him back. It drew him back in time, way waaaaaaaaaay back. Just like Alice finding her way to Wonderland, his mind followed a brown hare down the rabbit hole as he was pulled back to junior high, back to when the sun shined brighter, when each day meant a new adventure with his best friend with his funny quirks and ways. He heard his voice and knew it shouldn’t have been possible. His hand trembled the slightest. His mouth felt dry. He didn’t want to lower his camera and be disappointed that his ears were tricking him. He didn’t want to know that he had just misheard the voice, but he could have sworn he heard him, he heard....“Bart?”

Summary
“The Red Hood has been good for Gotham,” Robin continued. “Crime in Park Row decreased by sixty one percent almost as soon as you showed up, and that’s even taking into account all the crime you commit. Drug overdoses have decreased by twenty two percent in adults and seventy nine percent in minors. Homeless minors are ninety two percent less likely to—”
“Kid,” Jason interrupted. “Enough statistics. What the hell is this about?”
Robin slowly lowered the tablet with his powerpoint presentation and looked up at Red Hood.
“You care about Gotham,” Robin summarised. “Gotham needs Batman. Batman is missing and so is Nightwing. We need you to fill in for Batman.”
“You want me to cover Batman’s patrols?” Jason clarified.
“No,” Robin said. “I want you to be Batman.”
Jason bluescreened.
(Or: Batman and Nightwing mysteriously disappear before Red Hood has even started antagonising them, Robin is desperate, Gotham needs Batman, and Red Hood is Batman-Shaped.)

Summary
“What do you want, my son?” Talia asked him. “What do you truly want?”
And when Jason pushed aside his obsession with Bruce, the answer was so clear. He knew exactly what he wanted. He knew what he’d always wanted, ever since he was that little street rat who spent money he needed for food on making himself look clean. Because he’d needed to look clean and presentable to get into the public libraries. Because they wouldn’t have let a dirty homeless kid touch the books.
“I want to go to college.”
And Talia had made that happen for him.
(AU where, at the end of his League of Assassins training, Jason decides to go to Metropolis for college instead of going back to Gotham for revenge. Things spiral from there. The title is so sarcastic by the way. There’s nothing regular about Jason Todd.)

Summary
The boy had dark gray circles under his eyes that he’d clearly covered up with makeup, but his unusually pale skin made the contrast too steep for foundation. He was also way too thin. It was all coming together to create a more unfortunate image in which Tim was silently struggling, but saving face for the sake of his image. It was admirable, if not incredibly unhealthy.
Dick says he just needs time. Jason says he’s rich, so he can’t be that sad.
Bruce says he’s depressed.OR
Tim thinks he’s being investigated by the Bats because he's a genius who secretly solves their cold cases, but an idiot when it comes to anything social. Bruce actually just wants to make sure Tim’s okay because he's a teenaged CEO with dead parents, and Bruce sees too much of himself in him.

Summary
The Bat is a spirit that resides over Gotham and her residents with children galore and brings a little bit (or a lot) of fright to the criminals in Gotham - demons some say. Others gods.
The Waynes just want a good night's sleep for once damnit
general TW; most of these fics will deal in dehumanization. Extra side note, those dehumanized are aware of what is happening and support it
While this is marked complete it is still being added to with short stories as I am inspired to write them

Summary
So, it didn’t start out like this.
Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward-
So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham.
It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead:
“ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.”
--
A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

After years of being mistrusted, exploited, and mistreated, Tim, Kon, Cassie and Bart finally break.
They decide to accept what had evidently been inevitable.

Summary
Kon is supposed to be finding his passion, or following his dreams, or whatever it is that people are supposed to get to do when they don’t have to worry about working a job they hate just to make ends meet. He should be going to college, or traveling, or trying to find a job that he’d actually enjoy, or—something.
But he isn’t.
He can’t say why. Not really. He’s not really that introspective, he just knows that every reason he has to offer for not doing literally anything with his life tastes like an excuse, bitter and tacky and heavy with shame. Which, technically he’s not doing nothing—he’s still a Titan, still helps save the world on the regular, but… he’s been doing that for literally his entire life.
Life is more than just superheroing. Kon’s team, Ma and Pa, the other Kents, and even various other capes had helped him learn that. He knows that he’s not a programmed machine, that he’s a person who gets to choose what he wants to make of himself.
And yet…
It’s just—
He’s always so cold.
