Summary
It’s like this:
In times of crisis, Beau can do the thing. Draw herself together, pulls up the right words, negotiate. And it's fine. It works. Always does, in the moment.
It's after that's the problem.

Martin reacts in typical Martin fashion - with tea, worry, and absolutely nothing else, thank you very much.

Summary
The thing about gardens, Caduceus thinks as he kneels in the grass before a pink flower, fingers dug in the soil around it, breaking it apart gently.
The thing, he thinks, digging deeper, reaching beyond the roots, scooping around them.
The thing is that they grow.

Summary
Abruptly, Sasha stops. Sighs. “Tim,” she says, sounding—annoyed?
Martin tenses, wonders what Tim’s done now. He’s never heard Sasha properly irritated, not really. Fond complaints are about the extent of it. This is new, concerning. (Whatever Tim’s done, Martin needs to know so he can be sure he doesn’t do it himself.)
“Yeah?”
“How do you spell disorientated?” -

Summary
Martin stares at the cover of a leather-bound journal and thinks of a little green bus stop bench.

Too Good to be True by Belayoda

Summary
This is the story of how Bruce Wayne - billionaire, socialite, future CEO of Wayne Enterprises (once his father retires) - fell in love with Superman, and then Kal-El, and then Clark Kent. And it all happened because Superman saved him from a collapsing building. The rest is history, as they say.
Oh and by the way, what is a ‘Bat-Man’?
“Oh please,” Bruce smirked, trying to hide most of his swooning behind bravado, “Mr Wayne is my father - call me Bruce.” And in his incessant manners, held out a hand for the man to shake, while properly taking in his saviour for the first time. He was wearing a bright blue and red get up, with a large ‘S’ plastered over his chest. It was a bit garish, but Bruce could see the outline of his muscles through the tight suit, so he wasn’t complaining.
The man looked surprised at Bruce’s comment before smiling timidly and shaking the outheld hand. “Superman,” he replied.
In which Bruce Wayne lives his dream life. Or so it seems.

Summary
He’s very aware that, were He a living, breathing human being, He would just be a parasocial stalker. He likes to almost consider Himself part of this family on good days. If He were to come out of hiding only to find that everyone wanted Him gone (which was extremely likely, considering they didn’t know Him), then well…
He doesn’t know what He’d do with Himself. Their lack of means to perceiving Him means that He can never be shooed away, and can never be imposing on anyone.
Unfortunately, it might be a bit too late for that. Damian knows He’s here. Damian likely won’t rest until the mystery is solved, too. There’s no answer to be found though. No one can ever find Him, not even if they tried their damndest. He is no one.
———
Or,
Timothy Jackson Drake is a ghost. That’s unimportant, though, because he lives in the city of the world’s coolest family ever. Surely the bats won’t notice some friendly cohabitation, right?

BatMuppet by Demorra (thebibliosphere)

Summary
“It’s time to play the music, it’s time to light the lights,
It’s time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight!”The manor ought to have been silent as the grave when Bruce returned, so it caught him by surprise when he heard a familiar jingle drifting through the empty halls. He paused at the foot of the grand staircase, head tilted to the side as he listened to the Muppet Show theme song jangling away happily. It sounded like it was coming from the first floor, which meant the most likely origin was Dick's bedroom. Which would be fine, if it also wasn't almost three am.
*
What do you do when you come home late and find the orphan you've taken guardianship of is crying alone in his room watching the Muppets?
You sit your brooding ass down and join him.
And if you later end up on a talk show with said Muppets and end up embroiled in a running gag about your playboy persona being in a throuple with Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, well, it's not like anyone's ever going to believe you're Batman now...Based on the Tumblr shitpost.
