    Summary

    Life is hard when you’re a street kid. It’s even harder when you’re also deaf. Though, Jason guesses that he’s not technically a street kid anymore, not since he’s made that mistake of jacking some billionaire’s tires and got himself kidnapped.

    The man... Bruce, doesn’t seem to want to hurt him, though. He feeds Jason and goes out of his way to communicate with him. He even offered to teach Jason sign language.

    There’s a price to pay, he’s sure of it, but Bruce remains as kind and nice as always.

    Maybe he really is safe?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Summary

    "Damian’s catlike eyes stayed trained on him. To anyone else, it might’ve been unnerving. Jon only kept smiling and driving.

    Until he heard the squeaking in the stalks.

    Without any warning, he pulled the truck over and parked. Damian jolted upright. 'What is it?'

    'Nothing,' Jon said quickly. 'Prairie fire. I’ll handle it.'

    'Fire?!'

    But Jon was already slamming the car door behind him, running through the golden fields."


    Jon and Damian's summer drive through the endless Kansas fields is interrupted when Jon hears something struggling in the wheat. He rushes in to save the day, with Damian close behind, and when all is said and done, it's just them, a castilleja blossom, and the beaming summer heat.

    Which would make anyone act against their better judgement.

    Summary

    As soon as he lays eyes on the scene, Jason only has a single moment to take it in: Seventeen goons, most favouring legs or nursing wounds, but all still armed and poised with sinister hubris over a fallen form, which is bound and held roughly by two of them.

    They’re laughing and jeering, one of them has a hand tightly gripping their captive’s hair to hold his head back, another is twisting his upper arm, and yet another is raising some sort of baton to strike. Their captive’s face is bloodied and bruised, lip split and one cheek swollen into the crease of his cracked domino, but he still snarls defiantly at his captors.

    It’s Damian.

    All at once, Jason finds himself completely swallowed by that roiling, green haze.

    Or

    AU where Jason was trained as Damian's bodyguard during his time with the League. So when the newest Robin recklessly sneaks out on patrol and gets badly hurt, Red Hood loses it to the Pit and slaughters the perpetrators. In this green-hazed state of mind, Jason's only concern is the safety of his charge, while Damian is far more concerned with making sure Batman doesn't find the bodies.

    Summary

    “Ith the tooth fairy gonna come tonight?” Robin lisped.
    “Of course.”
    Clark’s gaze whipped back to Batman, a grin swallowing up his face.
    “The tooth fairy?” He asked.
    “Yes, Superman.” Batman said flatly. Clark didn’t need x-ray vision to know that he was raising a challenging brow. “The tooth fairy.”


    Robin loses a tooth on patrol under Superman’s watch. Dick Grayson, Bruce Wayne’s ward, shows up to a gala with a missing tooth in the exact same spot. Surely this means nothing!

    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.

    “Not made of glass, Kent.

    No, he wasn’t, he was far more fragile than that. To Jon, Damian may as well have been made out of tissue paper.

    Summary

    “Gotham! I am here tonight to show you the hideous face of 'truth' and its destructive power to tear apart even the closest of bonds! We’re all held together only by illusions and lies, and the ‘truth’ dissolves them all." The new villain Veritas turned towards Bruce, syringe out and pointed towards the arm chained to his podium.“NOW! Under the compulsion of the serum, expose your true feelings: Tell the world what you hate the most about: Nightwing.”

    Dick froze—every argument, every accusation thrown between the two running through his mind. He wasn’t sure if he could take it—to hear it spoken truthfully and directly. Hearing all of Bruce’s hatred, contempt, and disappointment in him poured out not just in a heated yelling match in the cave but in front of Damian, in front of the whole world.

    Bruce coughed, blood flicking from his lips from a failed attempt to bite his tongue, and Dick hung his head in resignation. It was at least nice to know Bruce wasn’t eager to dump out his true feelings.

    “His suit.” Bruce choked, and the room went silent.

    AKA: This is just a fun little thing. Bruce loves his kids so much

    Summary

    "You crashed my dad's car," Flash said dumbly, because he only had the brainpower to let himself acknowledge either that the biggest dweeb in his senior year class was moonlighting as New York's coolest vigilante superhero or that said superhero was seconds away from jerking off in front of him, and the immediacy of the latter made it a little too real to process.

    Flash witnesses Spider-man get injured after being dosed with a mystery substance during a chase, and he goes to help.

    Summary

    “What's the plan, then?” Superman asked, eyebrows furrowed. “Dress in civvies? It'll be tricky to hide your, uh.” He brought up both hands and wiggled two fingers on either side of his head. “Ears.”

    “Ha,” said Batman, as Robin and Superman both grinned. “Funny. No. I've got another plan.”

    During a team-up, Robin lets slip that a certain Bat's birthday is coming up. Superman reacts accordingly, as does Batman — naturally, they engage in complicated communication rituals.

    Summary

    Deadpool's been acting strange, and Peter noticed. It’s like he... enjoyed being bossed around? By Peter. Or, by Spiderman. He reacted really weird to Spiderman’s instructions. He made jokes that Peter wasn’t sure were jokes. He pushed Spiderman, intentionally annoyed him and initiated shoving fights until Peter snapped and slammed Deadpool into the wall. And then he’d go limp, like putty in Spiderman’s grip.

    Peter didn’t quite know what to make of it. So, like the scientist he was, he decided to run an experiment.

    The IRB would not approve.
