    Summary

    How, exactly, did you tell the Justice League you weren’t a feral cryptid haunting Gotham?

    That single, most ridiculous question had been gnawing at Bruce’s mind for the past week. He could let them believe it—he had certainly let worse rumors fester when it served his purposes—but he couldn’t. He just couldn’t.

    or

    The continuation of Unintentional Cryptid.

    Bruce tries to clear up the small misunderstanding but every single time he interacts with the Justice League, it gets worse

    Summary

    Talon has finished its final task; dismantling the Court of Owls. All that's left is to turn itself over to the Batman to be safely disposed of, allowing Gotham to be free of Owls and Talons, forever. Except there's suddenly a child where there is not supposed to be, staring at Talon with wide eyes.

    AKA Talon-Dick takes care of the final members of the Court of Owls only to be discovered by their eight-year-old son, Tim Drake, who then walks them over to the Batman's house? And instead of a swift death, he ends up with a family???

    Summary

    There is occasionally a certain point one reaches during the attempt to attain a goal where one decides that the goal is just not worth it.

    Unfortunately, this also often coincides with being at a point in the attainment of that goal where it’s too damn late and you’re just gonna have to suck it up, buttercup, and get your shit together and do it anyway.

    Tim is pretty sure this shit is absolutely not worth it, but it’s too late now and even if it wasn’t, Mama ain’t raise no fuckin’ quitter.

    Or:

    Tim’s quest to bring Bruce back from his Time-Travel-Super-Vacation goes horribly topsy-turvey when Ra's takes a more pro-active approach to keeping Tim prisoner, and he ends up in an alternate universe where he never existed, and everybody is disorientingly well-adjusted and weirdly obsessed with his “wellness”, whatever that means.

    Tim hates mystical artifacts.

    (Alternate universe Better Batfam trope)

    Summary

    Bruce’s brain takes a moment to reboot. “Your parents are in South America?”

    “Yes.” 

    He’s not sure why he’s so surprised – the Drakes are known for their work in archeology, and not much of that can be done locally. Still, he assumed that they took Timothy with them when they left the country for work. It seems a shame to leave him with a nanny this close to Christmas. 

    “Okay,” he says, erasing the numbers typed into his phone. “What’s your nanny’s number, then?”

    “My what?” Timothy looks scandalized. 

    “Your babysitter? Whoever is in charge of you while your parents are gone,” he clarifies. 

    I’m in charge of me when my parents are gone,” Timothy says proudly, his little chest puffing out. “I’m the Man of the House.” 

    AKA

    Tim gets to spend Christmas with the Waynes! This will not have lasting consequences, I'm sure.
