Lower I Get, the Higher I'll Climb by Mist-managed (Greyspaces13)
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
15 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
The key difference, here and now- Robin can fight back. Jason Todd cannot.
Well, he can put up a bit of a struggle, nothing out of character for a kid who survived three years on Gotham streets. He can scratch and bite and punch wild- but none of the more helpful stuff, the backflips and complicated throws.
Not for this.

Summary
In the two years and five months Merlin has known him, Arthur has been enchanted to love people he ordinarily wouldn’t nine times. Merlin simply never expects Arthur to be enchanted to love him.

Summary
“Lady Morgana,” The lord said, his brows furrowing as he took a step back “Pardon me for the assumption, but I was told the king’s ward never left the East tower?” He asked and gestured vaguely around the gardens. Morgana smiled and Merlin smirked from his hiding place as he watched Arthur consider swooping in to save the man, but clearly thinking better of it.
“Ah, of course.” Morgana said “You must be confused. There are two wards of the king. I’m afraid you won’t be able to meet Merlin today.”
Or
Uther took in Balinor’s child as a baby and claimed him as his ward. Merlin thinks he’s being held hostage, but whatever.

Summary
“I am making a statement.” Jason snapped.
“I thought the duffle bag thing was your statement?” Tim tilted his head like a confused baby bird.
“I'm making multiple statements.” Jason gritted out.
Duke scoffed. “What are you, a politician? What rogue makes multiple statements at a time? That's so lame.”

Jason goes to attack his successor in the Tower only to be met with a pint sized surprise.

Summary
Tim's probably done it the most, but all of his siblings, at some point or another, have ducked behind Jason for safety. Jason's not sure if it's because they trust him that much or if it's because he's usually heavily armed and willing to kill. But it keeps happening- and it's both helping his image and ruining it.

Summary
Job opening: Housekeeper/Babysitter/Bodyguard for five-year-old Timothy Drake

Hours: Negotiable. No extended home visits. Must only drop off food and water twice a week because a five-year-old boy and a houseplant apparently have the same needs.
Start Date: Immediately
Or: An accidental interdimensional teleportation causes the Red Hood to end up pretending to be Jason Mac and being Timmy's babysitter.
This is my story for Febuwhump 2023. 28 Chapters of Whump, Hurt/comfort, Humor, and Fluff! Updated once every day of February.

Summary
The Bat-Signal hung low in the clouds. Jason used to think it meant something, back when he was a dumb kid. Like Batman was watching out for everyone. Now he knew better.
He closed his eyes and told himself it didn’t matter.
He would save himself.OR
Betrayal, secrets, and lies have always defined Jason's world. But with his mother's disappearance, a dangerous new gang seizing control of Crime Alley, and the Waynes taking an unexpected interest in his life—Jason is forced to question everything he thought he knew about trust, family, and survival.

Summary
While out on patrol one night, Bruce encounters a kidnapping attempt. A pretty routine night, unfortunately.
When the victim in question happens to be a 9-year-old Jason Todd, however, Bruce finds himself getting a little too attached to a child he just met. Was it okay to kidnap a child right off the street and keep him?

Summary
He opens his eyes, and stares up at the canopy of the four poster bed he's in. It takes a second, his vision is a bit blurry, but it clears up quick enough.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Four seconds.
Part of Jason keeps the count going, while the rest of him kind of just...seizes. Because he knows this canopy. He knows the the posts it's attached to. He—fuck—he knows the notch in the bottom left post he'd put in it when he'd stolen one of Bruce's batarangs when he was twelve and thrown it around like the stupid kid he'd been.
This was Jason's room.
Or, the one where Jason gets zapped with magic, wakes up in his teenage body, and decides to let the timeline know exactly how fucked it is. He also becomes the president of the Tim Drake Appreciation Club.

Damian Has A Plan! (Stop Messing With The PLAN, Jason!) by Lilypondria

Summary
Damian watched the omega from the shadows of the garden with the careful precision of a predator who had already decided this hunt would end in victory. An Al Ghul did not lose after all, especially when they had their eyes set on their prize. He kept his footsteps silent, his pup scent tightly suppressed, and his breathing measured. He had a plan, naturally. A brilliant one. He would make this omega his. Not in some ridiculous mate way, of course. That was beneath him. No, this was far more practical: the omega would become the shining jewel of his pack.

Summary
Donnie can barely remember the last time the two of them had really talked.
…Never mind, yes, he can. Eugh.
His heartbeat thuds, dum-dum, dum-dum, in his ears.
Donnie says, “I invoke the Prisoner’s Dilemma Accords.”
Leo, who has graduated to actual tricks during his monologue, sends his cards to his left hand, a good two feet below his right, and claps them to a halt. As he squares the deck, his golden eyes dart up to meet Donnie’s, dagger-sharp.
*
In the aftermath of Mind Meld, Donnie and Leo revive a childhood tradition and try (not) to have a vulnerable conversation.AKA: It’s time to swap secrets with your twin. Is the gun really necessary?

Summary
There’s a sudden interruption of light. It’s like a tiny, localized dawn in this corner of Brooklyn alone. A glowing circle hangs over the pier, spilling warm yellow across the water and the boardwalk.
Mikey’s senses go to war with themselves. Obviously, historically, random portals are no good. His head knows that. But his heart is soothed by it, the way he feels when Raph is late coming home from patrol and he finally walks through the door.
It’s golden and gentle and it feels like family.
His brothers are tense, but they haven’t sprung into action yet. No one’s speaking. They must feel it, too.
Rise!Mikey’s portal in the prison dimension takes Leo a little bit farther than he meant for it to. 12!Mikey finds a familiar-looking stranger.

Summary
“While I can understand why a wave of short-circuiting neurons in your brain might seem like the most logical explanation for this,” Donatello says, which makes goddamn one of them, “I can promise you that this is real. You fell through a portal in Brooklyn.”
“A portal?” Blue asks. “A yellow one?”
“Yeah! You remember?” Mikey says brightly.
“I remember the light,” he replies slowly. He sets his cup down, and his hand drifts over to the crumpled-up photo sitting on the cot beside him. He doesn’t lift it or look at it, he just sets his hand on it, like he’s taking strength from its existence. “It was so dark and cold, and then the sun came out. I think I reached for it. I don’t know how I ended up here.”
Rise!Mikey's portal in the prison dimension takes Leo a little bit farther than he meant for it to. 03!Raph is beginning to wonder if he and his brothers will ever have a normal day, like, ever.

"It is bedtime, Blue. Not talking time!"
"I know, Daddy," Leonardo says, exasperated, as if he does not confuse the two every time his head hits the pillow.
Splinter has not known a moment of peace since this child learned to speak.

Summary
They’re halfway across the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, under the indigo blanket of twilight, when Raph realizes Casey has been very quiet.
As a matter of fact, he hasn’t heard Casey say a word since the kid was crying on the comms, begging Leo not to go away.
He glances over his shoulder at the back row of seats. Casey is sitting on April’s other side, hunched forward, arms wrapped around himself as if he’s staving off the cold. His eyes are glassy and freshly traumatized and Raph realizes he’s let something pretty important slip.

Summary
Donatello is almost eight before they finally find a pair of glasses with his correct prescription. Before that, the severely farsighted turtle just has to make do. His brothers do what they can to help out, even if it means reading all his boring stereo instructions to him for the millionth time.
