Summary
No one is sure how long the loud sounds of the cries have been going on, 10, 15 years maybe? It’s uncertain, forgotten to keep track of. The cries...all so sorrowful and painful..you can hear them every night, and it just gets louder and louder each night. Sometimes you'll even hear chirps, clicks, and chittering. It all comes from one city, Gotham City.
Those outside of Gotham aren’t aware of what is making those sounds..only inside Gotham, and sometimes the neighboring cities.
Will they ever stop? No one knows, not even to figure out what the cause of it is. No one but Gotham knows the truth as to why these cries keep happening each night, but that's not entirely true is it? Let's ask and find out what these cries are all about inside the city of Gotham.

Summary
“God, this is pathetic…” he rasped, wiping his mouth with the back of his sleeve, the stench of vomit clinging to the fabric. His thoughts were a haze. Nothing made sense.
He didn’t know where he was. He didn’t know how he got here. He didn’t know anything. Except for one thing. One name.
Tim Drake.“Welcome to your new world, Detective.”
Or,
Tim wakes up in Gotham, which looks too foreign, but he finds a home there.

The Bat Colony(What If It Was Real?) by Anonymous
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Justice League - All Media Types, DCU

Summary
When Batman actually laughs at something Nightwing says, the Justice League knows something's up. Hal's investigation reveals the impossible truth: Batman and his growing family aren't human vigilantes—they're bat demons, one of Earth's most ancient and now endangered species. As Bruce undergoes a difficult emergence process, the League gets their first invitation to the hidden Colony beneath Gotham, where they'll meet the intimidating Patriarch Thomas Wayne and discover just how little they knew about their dark teammate. Some secrets were meant to be shared, even if they come with wings and glowing eyes.
Directly inspired by the two stories attached to this fic! I cannot recommend them enough.

Summary
It’s always like this when he first remembers. He goes to sleep as Jason, simple, ordinary Jason with one life, one chain of events from birth to death — well, to the present.
Then he wakes up as Jason, hundreds of lifetimes behind his eyelids.
It could be years before the others remember, before he has Bruce, Dick, Tim, and Damian really back with him, but for now, he has to do what he can to fix the mess he’s made with his family (even though half of them think he’s been replaced by a clone and the other half are too happy about this new Jason to care).

Summary
"Hey B. I haven't seen the Replacement in a while. Where's he been?"
"Red Robin? Why?"
"I, I need to apologize. I never apologized for Titans Tower, or… everything else. I need to do it in person, but I realized I didn't know his civilian identity somehow. Do you know where he is?"
"..."
"What?"
"... I'll let you know when he comes into contact with us."
"What is it B?"
"..."
"What are you not saying?"
"I made mistakes… I made a lot of mistakes with him."
“What does that mean?!”
“I… Red wore disguises from the beginning, but I never cared about learning who he was until he had already learned to hide completely from me. As hard as I tried, I never did find out who he was behind the mask. He didn’t… I. I didn’t try, hard enough.”
"So you don't know who he is or where to find him?"
"No."
"... well darn B, it looks like we both have some apologizing to do."Series

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
Jason's been stuck on this drug case for a whole month and he's got nothing. That is, until his tiny, anxious ex-neighbor shows up at his safehouse with a backpack full of evidence saying that the entire drug operation is being run by his parents.
Tim figured out that his parents were big-time drug traffickers at age nine, but when people start dying and Batman won't listen to him, the only available option is the Red Hood, who's just as likely to shoot him as he is to help him. That's why it's such a surprise when Tim shows up at his safehouse and Gotham's most undead and dangerous vigilante invites him in for spaghetti dinner.
