    Summary

    “It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights,
    It’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight!”

    The manor ought to have been silent as the grave when Bruce returned, so it caught him by surprise when he heard a familiar jingle drifting through the empty halls. He paused at the foot of the grand staircase, head tilted to the side as he listened to the Muppet Show theme song jangling away happily. It sounded like it was coming from the first floor, which meant the most likely origin was Dick's bedroom. Which would be fine, if it also wasn't almost three am.

    *

    What do you do when you come home late and find the orphan you've taken guardianship of is crying alone in his room watching the Muppets?
    You sit your brooding ass down and join him.
    And if you later end up on a talk show with said Muppets and end up embroiled in a running gag about your playboy persona being in a throuple with Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, well, it's not like anyone's ever going to believe you're Batman now...

    Based on the Tumblr shitpost.

    Summary

    Agatha did not know she was the daughter of William Heterodyne and Lucrezia Mongfish. She thought she was the beloved ward of Lady Teodora Vodenicharova, and the unexpected but equally beloved companion of Lord Saturnus Heterodyne.

    Agatha did not know that the debilitating headaches that earned her the scorn and (worse) the pity of her fellow Mechanicsburgers were caused by the locket her uncle gave her. She thought she was stupid, useless, and broken.

    Now she knows she is Lady Agatha Heterodyne, rightful ruler of Mechanicsburg. Now she knows she is a Spark.

    When she learns the truth, Agatha inadvertently kicks off a series of events that reopens old wounds, drags secrets into the light, and brings war to the doorstep of the all but defenseless Mechanicsburg. Saturnus struggles to crush his enemies with a town almost as broken as his body; Agatha, determined to undo the chaos she's unleashed, plunges into the depths of Castle Heterodyne.

    Raised by a literal saint and the devil incarnate, Agatha - with an unleashed mind, a burning spark, and a band of very unexpected allies - will fight to do the unthinkable: be a good Heterodyne and a good person.

    Summary

    Realisation hit John's gut like one of Gordon's elbows: he'd been kidnapped, and he'd walked right into it.

    It didn't seem as though his family were looking for him.
    His father probably hadn't even noticed he was missing.
    He had to decide what lengths to go to to get home.
