Summary
Learning how to live sober isn't just saying "no" to your addictions. It's relearning social skills, figuring out how to take care of yourself, trying not to hate yourself for your mistakes, and just hoping you have enough willpower to get through it.
Take a deep breath. Look at the support you have. Keep working the program. You got this.

Summary
Buzzing. He shouldn’t be out here, with the buzzing in his veins. He’d not even wanted to go out tonight, couldn’t trust himself to keep his temper on a leash and not hurt someone who didn’t need to be.
Fuck Two-Face, for getting his hands on the Man-Bat serum some-fucking-how and deciding to break out and use it tonight.
Jason's choices catch up to him, as his family do their best while kept in the dark.

Summary
“Wh' you guys doin'?” He needed water, desperately, but Bruce and Jason seemed more content to stare at him with wide eyes instead.
Something about them looked... Off. Tim squinted, trying to pick it out. It wasn't quite uncanny, but just. Different.
Bruce was missing a few scars on his face, though it could have just been the lighting, and Jason—
Tim blinked, as if that would change the sight in front of him. The warning bells in his head began to clang, clearing the clouds out of his mind.
”Did you dye your hair?“tim ends up in the wrong universe: one where batman doesn't exist. he's starting to feel like he's a cosmic joke at this point.

Summary
“I’m being serious, asshat,” Jason hisses, swatting his hands away from his face. “You have to tell me what year it is.”
Nightwing crosses his arms a little petulantly. “It’s 2017. Happy?”
Jason freezes, breath catching in his throat. 2017. Five years ago. He was…he was fifteen. “Shit,” he murmurs. He’s going to eviscerate Tim.
Or: Red Hood Jason and 15-year-old Jason swap timelines, landing one week before 15-year-old Jason is supposed to die.

Summary
"Where's your pops?" Terry shouted down the sidewalk.
"Dunno," Jason said. "Haven't seen him in a week. I stopped goin' lookin' for him a long time ago."
Hell, Jason was happy with the man's absence. Maybe it would stick, this time.
"He owes me fifty bucks." Terry, closer to Jason now, was still shouting.
Jason spun around and started walking backwards. "What'a'ya know," he said. "Me too."

AU where Jason is seventeen, his parents are alive, he works nights at a convenience store, and everything is about to go to shit.Series

Heartwrenching. The relationship between Steph and Jay is so good and handles Jay’s interactions with the batfam and moving into the manor perfectly.
The sequels just as good, and had me hooked.

Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Bookmarker's Notes
Better written than any analysis of gaslighting I’ve ever read.
Tim’s realization of the entire situation, his father’s motive, etc., is painfully accurate. The support he gets after— and the fact that his family believes him— makes it a good comfort read.
I cried so fuckinf much.

There's consequences to having your mind so thoroughly invaded by another, but Vash wakes up anyways. That's what he does— pick himself up and get going again, alone, always alone.

Summary
Memory is such a fragile thing. A single hit, strong enough to knock something important loose, and a day is gone. A month. A year. Getting ripped from your body, thrown into the Fade, and yanked back out again, potentially by a divinity that is completely foreign to you, is enough to destroy a lifetime.
Apparently.

A) Im screaming, b) pretty sure canon will never go this hard in their handling of Solas, and c) Lavellan. Fuck. It’s brilliant.
Possibly my favorite da fic.

Summary
Rowan Hawke has been on the run for four years, ever since exposing himself as a blood mage during his battle with Kirkwall's corrupt Knight-Commander. A new organization called the Inquisition is the latest in a long line of pursuers, although they too meet with failure again and again—until they recruit a familiar elven warrior to get the job done.

Bookmarker's Notes
No words. I finished this, went right back and read it again. The take on blood magic in it is much better thought out than in canon, and the climax is fucking heart wrenching. Worth a read, or two, apparently.
Reread count this far: 6.

Summary
“Let’s say you’ve been asleep for a hundred years and when you wake up you’ve lost all your memories, but you defeat the big bad monster like you’ve been told to, because a girl told you to, and because you were in love with her. And after defeating the big bad monster she comes back, only she’s not the person she was a hundred years ago. And you’re not the person you were a hundred years ago. And yet every time you look at her, your chest hurts so bad you think you might be dying.”
He looks up from his breadstick. “Am I dying?”
“No,” Beedle says. “I think you’re stupid.”
All roads lead to Hateno.
