A MOMENT THAT'S HELD IN YOUR ARMS. by orpheusaki for ocellar
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
25 May 2022
Tags
Summary
Robin is used to Batman shouting at him. Mistakes happen, and he's not always the most careful, but it's expected. It's his job, even if it hurts Robin a little to look at Batman for the rest of the patrol — that's his boss. He gets over it.
But this is the first time Bruce Wayne has raised his voice at Jason, and Jason's entire world is collapsing on top of him.

MY CHEST IS ABOUT TO BURST. by orpheusaki
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)
01 Nov 2022
Tags
Summary
"How long have you known about me?" Red Hood asks instead of answering, voice modulated and unfamiliar due to the helmet. But Selina imagines that even if she could hear his real voice, she'd not recognise him at all.
Selina drops back completely, folding her arms behind her head and glaring up at the sky. There are no stars in Gotham, only the moon who bears witness to their confessions, "Since you tried to shoot me."
"Well," Jason Todd grumbles, sounding less amused, "Sorry about that, I guess."
(When Selina gets back to Gotham, she meets a ghost who's a long way from home.)

Summary
"I kill so others don't have to," Bruce states firmly and clearly. This entire situation didn't seem like it could get any more bizarre, what with Bruce sitting in the dark and polishing guns, but somehow it just has, "While you are here you will not kill."
Jason's throat is scratchy and dry with terror, but the insatiable feeling of being talked over and disregarded is a fresh wound. He can't back down from this if he tried, "I've killed. I still kill. Who the fuck do you think you are to stop me?"
Bruce gently sets down his gun, and picks up the blade beside him with practised ease. Jason's blood runs cold when the man wearing his father's face says, "You will die by my hand if you try."
(Jason meets a version of Bruce who has manifested his fears very differently.)

Summary
The aftermath of a random alien invasion finds Jason in a bad spot. Like, really horrible, very bad. He's got an injured kid at his feet and a building not actively collapsing above them anymore - this is both a good thing and a bad thing. This is what he gets for actually playing nice with the Justice League for once.

THE HUES IN OUR HAIR COMPLIMENT ONE ANOTHER. by orpheusaki
Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types
24 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
"I have scars too." It's an offering, something small and fragile clasped in his palm. Bruce offers the hand holding the dangerous vulnerability of his life to Jason, waiting.
Jason turns to look at Bruce over his shoulder, and Bruce sees the moment understanding fills the boy's eyes. Sometimes Jason acts too old for his age, filled with empathy beyond his years.
He reaches out and accepts the small offering, holding it carefully in his own damaged hands.
(The first time Bruce washes his son's hair.)

Summary
"Ugh, fuck," Red Hood groans in pain, trying to stand up only to lose balance and collapse onto the table again, "Your roof made of fucking paper or something?"
Andrew stares down at the vigilante, then up at the massive hole in their ceiling, before finally turning to Gabriel with a scowl, still not entirely convinced this is actually happening, "Gabriel. You told me you fixed the roof three weeks ago, after we had that leak."
Gabriel gapes at him, "That's what you're worried about? Not the fact that the Red Hood just landed on our coffee table?"
(When in Gotham, the chances of Red Hood falling through your roof is slim, but never zero.)

Summary
“No,” he said, definitive and final.
“I didn’t even say anything,” Bruce said mildly.
“I recognize that look,” Jason pointed, still a little shaky, “That’s your smothering-small-children look. I am not a small child, B. I am an adult, with an apartment of my own, and a bed of my own, and I’m going to go back there and sleep.”
(Bruce wants Jason to stay in the Manor. Jason has conditions.)

Summary
“The medkit’s been misfiled,” Bruce said, frowning at the cupboard in the medbay, “Do you know who did it?”
“I don’t know,” Tim’s voice said. Great. Outright denial. Because Batman could be fooled that easily. “I saw Jason here last night.” Wait. Wait. Abort—“Does he remember the correct filing system?”
(The first time was an accident. A momentary panic, brought on by coffee deprivation and exhaustion. After that…well.)

Summary
Jason Todd is seriously injured during patrol one night, and is forced to stay at the manor to recuperate until his injuries are healed. To pass the time, he makes a list of things he never got to do before he died.
Except there's one small problem: most of them involve Bruce, and Jason doesn't really think Bruce cares all that much about him anymore.This is a story about how wrong he is, but I made it sad anyway.

Summary
Jason's on the trail of a killer who's targeting kids in Crime Alley for an unknown magical ritual. Between that and his family who insists on butting in, he's got his work cut out for him. But, as they say, nothing is as it seems.
Magic doesn’t come to Gotham.
Which is simplifying it. Because, well, magic isn’t allowed in Gotham, first off. But also, it really doesn’t want to come to Gotham. Of all the things the Bat tries to keep out, magic is the easiest because magic wants to stay as far away from the city as possible. Zatanna called it a “cesspit of untamed ambient magic,” which was being nice even with calling it a cesspit. The last time some asked Constantine about Gotham he just laughed, lit his cigarette, and walked away.

Summary
It’s hard to know when the first time was, because there was so much going on and it’s not like Sanji hadn’t clawed his way back from certain death before. Later, Chopper will insist that several of those bullets should have struck him dead and Jinbei will be sure that no one could survive a fire like that and Usopp swears he saw a whole building come down on their cook — but then they will all later concede that, actually, they had seen Sanji survive all of those things before, so the whole thing was all still up in the air.

Thirty-seven ways Sanji doesn't die.

Summary
"I'm not lying!" Arthur yelled and while his knights all nodded, he could see the slight roll of their eyes. "She's real. I swear on my life she is!" He tried again. Gwaine outright laughed. Arthur really should just behead him. That would solve everything.
"What's her name then?" Leon asked reasonably. Arthur stared. "My lord, is it...At all possible she might have just been in your head?" He asked, gently. Arthur felt his mouth drop.
"I am not crazy!"
"Well..." Merlin began and the prince turned to glare at him. "I've watched you try to put on a shirt, sire."
"He said crazy. Not incapable." Elyan murmured and immediately winced when Arthur gaped at him. "Sorry, I...Sorry." He offered weakly. "You're not crazy."
"Just incapable!" Merlin smiled. Arthur hated everyone and swore on his life he would find this damn lake lady even if it was the last thing he ever did.
Or
Arthur comes across a beautiful woman near a lake who likes to talk about her husband a lot. Nobody believes him except Merlin (aka Freya lives).
