Summary
Many people like to say that every thing in life happens for a reason. It’s hard to believe that every little thing we do happens for a particular reason, maybe it’s not everything, maybe it’s just something’s. Maybe it’s just particular moments in our lives that lead to something that we could never have guessed.
What kind of events lead four young boys with no relation towards each other to become brothers in a place where you’d never expect to find family.
What lead a single wealthy restaurant owner to take them in as his own.
Everything might not happen for a reason, but somethings definitely did for them to become a family.

Summary
The Guardian of Gotham is an urban myth, right? So how come Superman is able to meet a tall, dark, and almost fried stranger who is rescuing people from the blazing inferno despite of his obvious heat allergy?
Damn that stupid, sexy vampire glamour! And all that Victorian snark and broody mystique! Sooner than Clark is getting a kitty out of the tree he is playing doctor Phil to Bruce’s eldest son Dick and his marital problems, inviting an undead boyfriend to visit his parents (or their freezer), and meeting Bruce’s grandson Tommy, who is the cutest little button ever.
Picture perfect, if not Clark’s pig-headed teammate Diana trying to turn Justice League into the vampire slayers. Or al Ghul’s shadow army arriving to Gotham, hunting the secrets of power and eternal life hidden in Bruce’s altered body.
Hypothetically speaking, what would be a legal position of a space alien marrying a human who has been dead about two hundred years, given or taken a few decades?
Just asking for a friend.

Whatever happened to imaginary friends? by CoffeeTrees

Summary
Tim, the ever vigilant (always awake and never giving himself a break) vigilante, gets word of a drug bust going down. One he just so happens to be the only one available to stop. Which happens to be taking place in the very early hours of his birthday. Of course he goes on the highly dangerous bust alone. What could happen?
Or: Tim is used to being the Robin that gets thing handled, that doesn't need Batman to come rescue him. Bruce Wayne had made it very clear in the early days that Tim was not his son. Alfred Pennyworth was cold, allowing only the politeness and distance to show through his Iron Wall. Dick Grayson treated him the way he wished he'd treated his brother, Jason.
Tim was fine with this. He wasn't a child. Even if he wished for more of the small slivers of love the Wayne family were just starting to give him, he wouldn't dare take Jason Todd's place. He just hoped the support he provided for the grieving family would make Jason proud. But Jason Todd came back, and he sure made it known he wasn't. He made sure Tim knew exactly what he thought of the cuckoo in his family.
Now, the Wayne family has their lost son back and Tim has a job to do. Just, not in this dimension?
