    Summary

    Bruce Wayne deals with a serious illness, one that threatens the most crucial part of himself. He and the family try to cope with their own fears and expectations about it and then the aftermath. This is written partly as character study, partly as family drama. Originally posted to tumblr.

    Summary

    Olivia Draper had been a good idea at first. She could pass for older than Tim could pull off while masculine and women really could get into places easier if they had a pretty face. With makeup and some stylish-yet-inexpensive clothes, Olivia could pull off most undercover ops. She was Tim’s Matches Malone.

    Then Hood had shown up on the scene.
    -----------------------------------
    When Jason met Olivia, he hadn't intended to pull a Bruce and take the scrappy teen informant under his wing. She just kept showing up where he was doing business. He had no other choice than to keep an eye on her. And kit her out with armor so she wouldn't accidentally get shot. And make sure she was being treated fairly by her mysterious boss.

    And, okay, maybe become her big brother.
    -----------------------------------
    AKA I write an enemies-to-caretakers story where neither party knows the other's identity until they're already invested.

    Summary

    ("I lost my whole family to the fire. I cried for weeks./Until I woke up this morning, and I could fly./Just spread my arms and go.")

    When Jason finally wakes up from his walking coma, two things become immediately apparent: One, he is definitely at least a foot taller than he used to be. Two, he doesn't have wings.

    Which, okay. He understands. The Lazarus Pit can't heal everything, and he wouldn't deserve it anyway. So it doesn't matter. He can live without his wings- there's no way he would let something as measly as that stop him.

    Jason is fine. Really. Now, if only everyone else would accept it.

    Summary

    "Do the dreams ever go away?" Dick asked.

    "Not exactly." Bruce paused for a minute, as if rehearsing something in his mind. "It's like your yo-yo. When you play with it, it goes up and down, right? It's kind of like that, except the yo-yo gets longer as the years go by. At first the yo-yo comes up a lot. But as time goes on you let the yo-yo down for a longer time, and it doesn't hit you as often. The yo-yo will still hit you, and it will still hurt, but it won't be so constant. It will get easier."

    "With my yo-yo, I can stop bouncing it," Dick said. "But for this, there's no way to stop the bounce?"

    "No," Bruce said. "There's no way to stop the bounce."

     

    Dick was alright, until (unless) he wasn't.

    Summary

    Cassandra Cain learns what a partner is before she learns to speak. Partners share birthdays, fathers, and the language of death. Partners share first birthday parties and sweet sixteens. Partners know each other better than they know themselves, and Cassandra Cain knows who Tim Drake is.

    Death can't change that. Tim Drake can't either. No matter how hard he tries.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Tim gets the Red Hood storyline, as seen from Cass's POV (which author is right that there isn't enough of IMO); this is the aftermath. Full of delicious sharp edges (metaphorically)—Tim is not okay and it tastes delicious

    Summary

    “Fuck.”

    “That’s not a nice word.”

    Tim’s head snaps up, his weapon drawn immediately. Sitting criss cross applesauce on his bed is… a little girl?

    “Uh… how did you get in here?” Tim asks slowly.

    She gives him an inquisitive look, clearly unbothered by the situation, and points at the ceiling. “Through the portal.”

    OR: When girl kid versions of Tim and Jason pop into their lives from another dimension, they have to learn how to be parents. After moving in together, coparenting two little girls together, and accidentally forming a fake relationship, they somehow fall in love along the way.

    Summary

    No amount of experience with ghosts ever took away the feeling of just missing something, the way Dick felt when he tried to look this one in the face. He remembered it like a scratch in the record, skipping over the same moment again and again, until he got a headache and had to turn away.

    These days, Dick focused his eyes on the hair. At least the hair stayed.

    “Hello, Jason.” He murmured, and took a sip of his sparkling grape.
    .
    .
    .
    Or, Dick learns to let go.

    Summary

    The ghosts of Haly’s circus were bright, happy people, performers and acts whose adventuring spirits tethered them to the caravan. These spirits were benevolent, often blowing stray tickets back into the paths of their owners, or helping a ring land just right on a bottle for a child to win a prize. Sometimes, if they had the power, they’d protect the acts themselves, making sure the throwing knives stayed squarely away from the performer spinning on the wheel, or catching falls that might put a performer out of business for a couple stops otherwise.

    Dick Grayson could proudly say he was very good friends with the ghosts of Haly’s circus.
    .
    .
    .
    When Dick stumbles across the ghosts of Wayne Manor dancing the night away in an abandoned wing of the house, he thinks that, finally, something might be normal again. But the ghosts are nervous, and he doesn't know why. Something is brewing underneath the surface of Wayne Manor, and it's up to Dick to find out what it is—and it's up to Bruce to make sure nothing happens to his charge in the meantime.

    In which Gotham's favored son is presented with the opportunity to cleanse her of her curse: and all it takes is a year and a day of sacrifice.

     

    “You won’t ask for help? Your children could share the burden.”

     

    “No!” he said strongly, then settled back, ever so slightly abashed. “Sorry, Gotham. No, please. If this can be done by me alone, please. They’ve suffered enough.”

    After a run-in with some hi-tech goons, Tim wakes up in a universe where Bruce enjoys his company. Where Jason never died, where Dick never gave Robin to a murderous Demon Brat who, it seemed, wasn’t even around.

    He goes to sleep, happy.

    And wakes up back in his original world, where he feels like a ghost among the living, forgotten and cold and alone.

     

    The one where Tim switches between worlds whenever he falls asleep.

    COMES WITH ART!
