Summary
or, How Tim Drake Found A Family, Became A Photojournalist, Learned To Love Coffee, and Grew Up, not necessarily in that order.
Tim Drake is thirteen, runs the famous BatWatch blog that has spiraled hilariously out of control, has absentee parents that suit his purposes just fine, is training himself to run the streets at night, and is doing absolutely peachy, thank you.
Alfred and Jason disagree, and get Dick and Bruce involved in figuring out their weird nextdoor neighbor kid’s life. Everything goes uphill from there.

Summary
Tim is good at galas.
No, scratch that—Tim is great at galas. He’s been attending them ever since the age of three, when his parents first stuffed him into his little Gymboree tuxedo and gave him a stern lecture about ‘sitting quietly’ and ‘speaking when spoken to.’ He knows all the rules: what to wear, how to stand, when to smile, what to say, what not to say. He knows how to come across as polite and intelligent and charming, and on absolutely any other day, he would be rocking this.

Or, my take on a ‘Tim Joins the Family Early’ AU, told through a series of sleepovers, most of which are unplanned.
Featuring pre-teen Tim, Alive!Jason, and a whole lot of hurt/comfort.

Summary
Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)

Summary
Zombies. We’ve always had them. They’re life’s last-ditch attempt at thwarting death; reanimated corpses acting out an echo of their lives. Dangerous, sure, but mainly an inconvenience. Burn your dead, build walls, keep an eye out at night—you’ll be fine. But this… sculk. It makes zombies look like kittens.
And it’s spreading.
--
It's been two years since the sculkers appeared and society collapsed. A mistake forces Grian and Mumbo to leave the safety of their city walls and face the terrors of this new world. In their search for answers, they find familiar faces and befriend new ones, discovering joy blossoming in the ruins of the apocalypse. However, time is running out as Grian and Mumbo fight to survive, dealing with love, loss and an enigmatic robot. But not every monster comes from the shadows. Some come from within.

Summary
He was unwilling at first, but that was only when it came to dying. He had gladly worshiped on his knees and took communion on his back and accepted Porter with his full body, mind, and soul simply because he was a stupid, stupid man and being told he was special and worthy and needed and useful was enough to sway him entirely.
That alone should have meant he was beyond saving; he'd worship Porter again in all the same ways if he only had the chance.
Maybe this time it wouldn't have to involve killing gods and usurping their domain and creating a new god from their eternally burning remains, but. That wasn't the world he'd loved in. It wasn't the world he lived in.
Maybe he couldn't be saved whether that was just or not.
Alternatively: Jace Stardiamond was as unwilling a pawn as (most) anyone else. What's his justice?
